You know it's the off season when.....

[niccipops]

Okay, we're all bored and missing our Sea Eagles. All we have to talk about is speculation, media reports -real or fake, and even worse, other teams.

I'll begin so please add your thoughts - You know it's the off season when...

*You proudly wear your Sea Eagles jersey everywhere, promoting the 2016 Premiers
*You've watched the '08 and '11 GFs several times already
*We're discussing the 2017 season and 2016 training even begun
*The Zorba at the buffet jokes keep coming - they just never get old
*Some love our new coach - will he be a messiah or just a naughty boy???
*Many are still burning about the treatment of Tooves, Matty. B and want to insert something other than ink in a Penn

Over to you Silvertails

When I watch the Rugby as its " sort of like " real footy.

 

[Rex]

when...

the media is full of negative Manly stories. Especially tension-inducing stories of potential and actual losses of star players/coaches, etc and without a single positive story or potential story to offset.

It just doesn't feel like off-season yet.

 

[brad]

The season starts for me preseason early November and I'll be watching their every move .

 

[Budgie]

You've checked the date training resumes.
You're pleased to see on Instagram that all the Vegas party boys have returned in one piece.
You might just smash your phone if you read one more delusional inspirational quote on FB.
You're willing to believe the stories from The Lurker, The Mole ... anyone but Zorba, really.

 

[WESTIE]

Its the off season when.....
- you check what teams are playing when for the A League
- grass needs cutting every weekend
- your weekend activities arent planned around manly games
- you reintroduce yourself to the missus

When I watch the Rugby as its " sort of like " real footy.

I watched the 2 semis and am so thankful that League broke away.
The free flow of our game, even with the Scumo's wrestle is non stop action.

The Wallabies actually three the ball around but the All Blacks' game was all rucks, mauls and lineouts 😕

Hopefully someone broadcasts the Kiwi Test against the UK

1] when you jump on Silvertails going over the same threads hoping to find some new info from a secret sauce that Marty Tapau and Jack Bird have signed and will be announced shortly.
2] when you list your 2016 ladder in a new thread that you created that nobody responds to, and then crawl back to your nest with your wings dragging on the floor.

 

[The Who]

when . . .
you start taking an interest in American baseball.

Agree - rugby is as boring as bat****e.
I have no idea how anyone can call this entertainment, and the Wallabies look like a bunch of hipster wussies compared to NRL players. I love the 10 minute blood bin LOL, or well it sure took that long to wipe a little blood off his face..

DY James Meehan Reserve is full of Police cars around a burnt out ute. Could be the Stocco Mob that have a national manhunt searching for them 😱

4 more months of trivia 😎

 

[Alby]

When I find new ways of f#cking things up.

 

[Utility Player]

When the first "does anybody like me" thread appears on Silvertails

 

[Beer buzzard]

You know it's off season when you check the silvertails forum and the big issue is the off season.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Well it use to be when the NRL 'Drama' had died down but judging by this year it cant be used as a guide.

When you're staring at the tv on Friday night wondering what your going to watch... well at least until cricket starts.

 

[MadMarcus]

When it's been weeks since a ref has f***ed up.
