We all here want manly to go back to back premiership winners - i will state for the record will wont
Go and say what you like but i cant see us winning it why because of what i like to call the odd year  syndrome
Lets have a look back
2008 winners in gf 40-0
2007 lost  in gf 34-8
2006 lost  in semi final 28-0 to St George
2005 lost in 1st week of finals to Parra 46-22
And we all cant forget what happen in 1997
You may agrue that what the heck manly have improved each year from those dark old days of a few years back
Well i am not disagreeing with you on that point i am saying apart from 2006 in the past couple of years manly seen to do better in the even year
Well check this stat out also in all 7 prermiships listed here manly has only won 2 of them in the odd year  (1972, 1973, 1976, 1978, 1987, 1996, 2008 )
I will state again manly wont win this year ( i hope i am wrong)
I will still support the team through this rough patch they are going through
Hope they prove me wrong
