yeh it was good work manly, 40 - 0 is a hell of a scoreline. even tho i dont like manly, well done to them and especially to steve menzieswuddie said:epic win for manly. that is what i call an absolute domination. 40 nil will erase any sort of bad memories from last year. i reckon stewart's flick pass was even better than benji's from 2005. manly deserves it, great stuff.
that nsw cup final was possibly the worst game i've ever seenstazi said:moar like Gayer. amirite?
also, the lower grade finals were fucking awesome. both went into sudden death extra time. one went longer than any game in league history.
I'm sure you're also playing games in high pressure grand final situations with ten 100kg+ guys running to deck you after 80 minutes of fatigue sets inledzeppelin said:that nsw cup final was possibly the worst game i've ever seen
i can kick a fucking field goal from 25 metres out, these guys had 13 shots and didn't get one
It was a brilliant performance no doubt but if you want to see perfect watch the 1st half of the 2001 GFwagga said:That was as close to perfection in a rugby league performance as I am ever likely to witness. Being 3 rows from the front at ANZ to witness it is an experience I will never forget.
Yeah, reminded me of last year's grand final in terms of perfectionwagga said:Suck shit Storm, the Eagles have swooped!

Haha. Hopefully Manly will have 10 players out for next years Origin too.wagga said:That was as close to perfection in a rugby league performance as I am ever likely to witness. Being 3 rows from the front at ANZ to witness it is an experience I will never forget.
I'm also not paid to play the game, don't train numerous times each week, haven't been playing for years, etc.stazi said:I'm sure you're also playing games in high pressure grand final situations with ten 100kg+ guys running to deck you after 80 minutes of fatigue sets in

Hey, anyone betting on Storm v Manly GF 2009? Storm using this as motivation?
Anyone know the record for most consecutive GF's with the same two teams?
+1. just because YOU can slot one over out of every two or three, with no one there to laugh at you, doesn't mean you can do it when you're actually called upon to do it. the guys probably practice their drop goals 10min a week, it's a whole lot different story when you have to kick one to win the premiership. field goals in league involves a fair bit of luck - case in point, shaun timmons in origin.stazi said:I'm sure you're also playing games in high pressure grand final situations with ten 100kg+ guys running to deck you after 80 minutes of fatigue sets in
I don't know if that would affect the players so much. Not sure, will have to wait and see.wuddie said:melb should still be a force, but hard to imagine they would make 4 gf's in a roll. they still have to sort out the mess with nrl at the moment.
I don't really think the Storm will be that affected by the loss of players though. Critics have been saying that since 2006, although they managed to make two consecutive GF's since. It's going to happen eventually, it happened to the Roosters, but next year? Not too sure, i'l be watching the first few with intent.ledzeppelin said:I think Melbourne will slide a bit next year, with more focus on grapple tackles, as well as losing some players
40-0 >> 34-8.stazi said:Yeah, reminded me of last year's grand final in terms of perfection
Melbourne will slide downhill next year with Folau, Kaufusi, and Crocker going. Add to that the fact that Bellamy's game plan is one dimensional and doesn't work as soon as the referees crack down on them wrestling tackled players into submission and slowing the play the ball. Unless Bellamy can completely re - invent their game plan (which is possible) in the off season, they will go downhill fast.blue_chameleon said:Haha.
