Hopefully no-one will get a gig in any of the rep teams this year and we'll sail through unscathed.

Actually that could be the bonus of having a slow start to the year.

They wont pick Brett at fullback  now - he was a cert for SOO a week ago
Choc will be considered mistake prone
Wolfy after a stint on sidelines will be off the radar
Robbo playing fullback wont be considered for wing

Maybe Kite will be the only considered

Not if he continues the penalty thing.  Anyway it's good to be hated.

SWEET! 

I hope Manly fans don't whinge about this, even though we'd all love for Des to be given some recognition (5 yrs head coaching plus 1 premiership against...?) that he truly deserves, but this is the best thing for our team. 
Everyone hates us and they're showing it, so we group together and slay everyone just like last year. 

All of a sudden, things are looking up!
