If we can’t beat last years wooden spooner first up

[Fluffy]

souths are far too high imo.

good odds for us to make the 8

 

[wombatgc]

Most important game of the year so far.

Yep, Bookies have the Rorters winning the comp. I guess that means it's gonna happen, I'm not going to bother watching the rest of the season, just gonna pack it up now.

What does that say about our off season

It says nothing.

In round 1 8 teams will win and 8 will (barring draws).

We already know our best back is out injured indefinitely and we were unable to buy players thanks to our salary cap cheating administration.

The first game was against Melbourne and we lost 18-6. It was the worst display of football from a Manly team I can remember.

Wasn't that 2011, DCE's first game? I was at that game!
I have a recollection of Josh Perry smashing the Sharks in his first game, which would have been 2008. (Could be wrong though)

I like the avatar from @wombatgc

I like the avatar from @wombatgc

Yeah, it’s up there. However, Ned appears to have put forward an image that most people would call a very real, and perhaps, somewhat uncomplimentary photo of himself out there for everyone to see. @wombatgc, although very cool, he does not rate anywhere near the I’m taking the absolute piss out of myself image that @Ned has offered up.

 

[Kevinward777]

IMO Oldmate Ned wins hands down.

I sold my house and put everything on the roosters to win the comp. should be very rich at the end of the year when they win

Haha good call, all I ask is a schooner for putting you into it when you cash in.

 

[Dan]

Fair go 11 of their 17 are new players.
They will compete this year

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

All I know is I want to rub it in Pearce's snotty little face.

He has already taken turns with his olds on the family dog.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

So what the f'ck does that say about our off season?? I'm still scratching my balls...

 

[Clay]

Going to be a loooong year with nothing learnt over the past two years.
Discipline still s##t. Still losing on goal kicking. Bench rotation still sucks.
Croker and Tanginoa looked really good. The makings of a good team is there just needs polish and one or two more ingredients

Spot on Bob, we had no right to expect to beat the wooden spooners with one player out. I just don’t know what people expected.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Yes last years wooden spooners but a different squad to last year.A loss was a possibility.

Yep, they had all off season to get it right and we had.............oh wait.........

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

We could have got it right tonight to if we didn’t give away stupid penalties.

On that we can certainly agree. The Hasler coached teams found a way to win regardless. He instilled belief, hunger, mongrel......

Man why are you crying? It's OK. Don't forget we didn't have the best off season due to the salary cap dilemma.. Pearce potentially could have been playing for us and the knights would have had no chance..so if you look at the bigger picture it's not so bad.
