We can always hope one of the others knock them out! Parra seems to go well against them.
You’re my hero, I should be feeling good today.

Full of clueless flogs mate. How's the plonker who is saying heads should roll I bet fans of 14 other clubs would settle for a 6 point win over melbourne.
G'day all,I may be wrong,but i'm pretty sure Reuben was actually the half for that scrum and was actually busting across from the far side of the scrum,and it was a mighty effort considering he was on one leg.Unfortunately the second rower breaking from the scrum didn't display the same urgency and effort.

Now that you mention it, he was lock - I noticed him there because he never actually put his head in & the ref was looking at him so if he had've managed to stop NAS there was a penalty coming the Storm's way.

Thanks @Ron E. Gibbs - he always is good for some boneheadedness sadly. A great one on one defender and an enthusiastic team member for sure... but a pumpkin for a head! We certainly don't need any more suspensions that is for sure.

I am inflated after that win. I don't give a flying kit and caboodle. A win is a win.
I think the team has put a lot of effort into their performances and are pushing their limits. That might be a good thing as we progress through the year as they will gain fitness and endurance. As I told Ryan I rate this team.
Having Aloiai missing last night made a bit difference he is a tough battering ram who takes a lot of impact. I doubt that fade on the end would have happened if he and Jurbo were on the field late.
Great win!

In all honestly, who here thought before kick off that we would pick up the two points against the Storm, who whilst without Munster and Kaufusi, had Papenhuyzen back and a bloody strong squad.
If there were many that hand on heart thought we would I would be very surprised (I certainly didn't!).
Yes we conceded some poor tries to finish off the game, but we also put 36 points on the Storm and physically dominated a pack with the Bromwich brothers, Asofa Solomona, Brandon Smith and Harry Grant. We also dismantled them in attack, stripping them for numbers out wide countless times.
Our play the ball speed I thought was great and the effort was huge.
We can now watch the rest of the teams go at it over the weekend knowing we have 2 points in the bag, a bye upcoming and then another home game against the Knights.
The skies may be grey in Sydney but there's plenty to be happy about after last night!

Haha, imagine how poor Panthers fans were feeling after the grand final last year, they only won by 2 measly points! They must have been so deflated pissd off and embarrassed.

You are missing the point here feathered friend comparing the Panthers performance against a full blooded strength Storm team playing for their lives for a grand final win .
We are far from being compared to a resolute Penrith team at the moment
I believe we can build from last nights win but we have a lot of work to do
Former and current Manly legends have their say
Paul Vautin
"Someone call an ambulance," Vautin proclaimed at full time.
"(Call) 20,000 of them (for every member of the crowd.
"There's not a lot of laughs or smiles from the Manly players."

That finish is a bit disappointing,
but it's a win, and we needed it."
No I'm not missing a point. But you're entitled to your opinion and true, you aren't alone. For some people even the incredible 2011 premiership win was ruined by things that happened soon after. Maybe that's you but it's not me.
Yes we are entitled to our opinions and that is what makes this forum great
A great balance of views all round
Comparing the Legendary 2011 team to the 2022 one is an other opinion that we differ feathered friend
Have a great day and we both look forward to a win against the knights in our Merry Manly finals Journey
Hahaha you think that is what I was doing? And you say I am the one who is missing the point, lol.
Jake Quote..It seems some people are incapable of being happy.
Unless it's an absolute performance of 100% perfection, they're not happy & will find something to complain about.
I wonder if these people apply the same standards & expectations to their own lives
That finish is a bit disappointing,
Jake Feeling the disappointment in last nights win
knows where some passionate disappointed Manly people are coming from
Why ?
For those that do not understand is that Manly people have high standards to live up to

I mean, in a standard NRL season, you've got a 50% chance of your team winning each week & a 1 in 16 (soon to be 17) chance of winning the minor premiership &/or the grand final.
What do these people expect? Manly to win every game & the minor & major premiership every season?
OR ELSE????
