2 years in a row a premiership straight through our fingers???

[Guest]

Yep I know everyone will be on to me saying it ain't over - but statistically it is. No one since 2006 has won from our possy and if by miracle we win next week we have to play in QLD!! How did this million dollar morons let it happen twice in 2 years??
The coach and players have to front up and answer. Yes all the diehards will be all over it saying they are a great bunch etc etc but reality is if you are lucky in any 10 year period you get 2 maybe 3 shots at a premiership and just like in 2003 to 05 we have pissed 2 of them up against a wall!

If we have only 1 premiership for the past 3 years overall it would have been a once in a decade opportunity lost

Weve been very fortunate to have this roster, due to some kids coming up and kicking on while on money below their market value

[Guest]

Agreed. Same as 02 to 05. That was once in a decade and we came away with one disputed premiership and now 10 years later about to repeat the effort. Unbelievable

Same as 02 to 05

That statement could only come from a dumbass opposition supporter.

It's like if the burrow could brag.

If any team in the comp can turn this around its this side. The streak is over so the pressure is off in a way.
They may blow whoever the meet off the park next week.

You simply can not win the premiership every season. The last two teams to win the minor premiership 3 consecutive seasons running only won one grand final.

That being Manly I am sure this statistic will help some of our supporters sleep very well tonight

They have amazing resolve this team they fought their way back only to beaten by the clock and 2 points via goal kicking. I believe they can win it just the same as we did in 75 when we got beat 8- 5 in a semi against the dragons.

Why would beating the Dogs next week be a miracle?

Nicely said Paul. Some fools on this forum are so fickle and aren't true supporters. I'm guessing these people have little going for them in life outside of footy.

Makes me wish the McIntyre system was back.

It's now becoming obvious without JWH and now maybe Evans it will be very difficult to win the GF and beat the Bulldogs next week.

[Lydon]

What happened to Evans?

And they are spoiled brats who with tunnel vision, expecting every game to be won each and every time. If you look back over the decades, our club have been blessed with incredible success, which others envy. Show our record to fans of other sports from other countries and see what they have to say. Try being one of my friends or family members, who follow mediocre dysfunctional teams with very poor records like Wests or Newcastle and then come back to us. Enjoy the rest of whatever ride fate and the universe have in store for us over the coming weeks, or go sit in a corner and pout with your toys because we lost only by 2 points to a team who play damn ugly grinding football.

12 in a row, one loss, 3 minor premierships in a row and we are still in it! As my dear Dad used to say, if you give some people the moon, they whinge because you didn't go fetch the stars for them as well!

It was nice to run into you today Thirteen at our local shops and after our chat, I still saw nothing but Roosters number plates, caps and fans around...
