a right royal carve up

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Manly can keep their 11 penalties. I'd rather have trophies. We've won 5 in the past 12 months. How blessed we are to have the coach we do who values integrity and good sportsmanship and knows how to articulate himself in the public arena. His carefully but thoughtful way of getting his point across in the press conference without incurring a fine or having a mini stroke, unlike his counterpart from Friday, shows how wise he is beyond his years. I urge as many of you as possible to come along to the coach's forum this year. Trent truly is an amazing speaker and even at last year's event in August, it was evident our club was on the verge of something great. Back then, he mentioned the philosophy of not laying down or playing for penalties. If only every Australian workplace had a Trent Robinson in charge..

My idea for a banner for the next game against the Sea Eagles:

"Manly play for penalties. Easts play for trophies"

Good perspective RWB.

And an even better banner!

Minions.... Do it please.

I thought so too and it was IN New Zealand as well. I thought it was on a Sunday April 2009 but we lost that 17-16 in a stitch up too so I think it was 2008 over there. I was packing to move house that day and nearly broke grandma's china whilst listening to the radio broadcast. Then there was the Christchurch game in the ice storm in 2010 with the dodgy try awarded..So many memories..I was once watching Ferris Bueller instead of a classic game between us and Souths on Foxtel one day and my brother in law said to me "Oh I just watched your team getting stitched up by the ref!" I looked at him and deadpanned, "Pick a game! Any game!"..as Robbo said, its been happening against Easts for years now and to quote our friend Toovey "There has got to be an investigation into this!"

I'm not going to get myself steamed up over a round 4 game which has very little bearing on our current position but it was a sour night at the footy. On the bright side, I'm happy with the view from my new bay plus my bus home turned up on time. And Souths are sitting currently at 13th spot so look at the silver lining...

We get to do it all again on Friday against Canterbury..don't worry be happy...

If not just have a good LOL@souffs.

I saw you on the telly Jack!

At the game?

At the game?

Yes the Channel 9 camera panned across our bay..

Not sure where I was at the time..probably getting all Hyacinth Bucket on the foul mouth ones in my row. To quote Elaine from Seinfeld "I am the meat in an idiot sandwich!"
I'll move down closer tomorrow night again either near you or Thirteen. Reserved seats are like real estate. We should be allowed to check out the neighbourhood before purchasing!

the royal carve up continues.
I was watching nrl on fox (the only footy show that talks footy ), and even them said ; the chooks get penalities so we can reset our defencive line, and didn't mention the lack of penalities. we, the supporter must be the only people out there who believe we are being shfted.

We'll see if anything changes against the Dogs, another teacher's pet team.

If it doesn't, the war should be back on, bigtime.

If I hear one more media commentator swooning with praise of Des, the Dogs, and the female Dogs' CEO, I'll throw up.
