Why Manly will win the comp in 2018

[SeaEagleRock8]

We are not favourites, but will win, and in fact will defeat the Eels in the grand final.

Oddly, Sportsbet has only 5 teams at longer odds than us, as of this moment we are despised outsiders it would seem.

So, why will we win? As will be revealed, our recruitment team has surpassed itself, adding to an existing core of potential champions, a rookie coach the players believe in, and a solid squad from top to bottom, burning slightly from our unfortunate exit this year.

It's not certain we'll win, I should add. I concede it's possible we'll finish runners up.

1 good reason why.
Storm were in their own competition in2017 with daylight second....
Any other top team including Manly were on that next level and could have made the GF...not won.
In 2018 no Cronk and the gun players though quality, are entering last legs...not quite as good.
If Manly lift a notch - and they will - I can see a shift of balance that makes it very interesting.

I start every season thinking we'll win the comp! Sometimes I'm right

I hope you have some good oil on our new recruits?

Only cooking oil that I found in the kitchen.

Yeah sure, and in my spare time and my desperate need for attention I CREATE threads on fan forums which are completely pointless and a waste of server space!!!

Me to , since 76 we have won 6 comps out of 41 years following them at about 6.8% comp wins . I still hold high hopes.

I thought we all did this

Otherwise there is no excitement to offset the inevitable glitches during the Season

Go Manly for #9

Ahhh no.................you seem to forget the high number of posters who regarded 2017 as a successful season and claimed that Baz did a great job by just making the 8.
They all claimed their expectations were that we would be cellar dwellers!

Heathens!

Most people I know in hospitality are reasonably thin and don't take up much space. Always on their feet, usually quite young, appearance is important.

Hey look at that I replied facetiously to your comment and also taught you how to use..........commas.

fa·ce·tious
fəˈsēSHəs/
adjective

1. treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

HUMOUR!!!!
Me thinks less facetious than you think.

However I would also argue that the size of your average server doesn't have any correlation to the wasting of server space and your attempts to be "facetious" and create a link are juvenile at best!
Waste of space is waste of space regardless of the size of the individual servers !

Also, thanks, re the commas, yes, you taught me, good!

This is going to be a long off season...

And to think it’s only just begun, by February it will be a LOT LOT worse than this!

Yep, every year is exactly the same , bored, salty people who seem to forget we are all on the same page.

Yep and I also got you to look up the word facetious. You're welcome. You have learnt a lot tonight.

If only we could all be you!
