[bobnudd]

Yup we are crap at the moment but we have a history that no rugby league team to this day can not compare to,we will be back to the glory days untill you can win 8 challenge cups and 6 league wins and the best in the world 4 times come back and post ,and as 4 rugby is for wooses theres not 1 footballer that could last 15mins in our sport ,one clip off the toe nail and there rolling around like girls end off.

@GanEdenAustralia - Only because Wormald was Manly's major sponsor. They were a security company.  Michael O'Connor was even bought by Wormald from St.George and offered him a postition within the co, and that's why he was one of the highest paid players in the game. OK... I go back to a Daily Telegraph(Yeh, that NRL-owned by Murdoch paper) issue back in 1988/89 when they renewed his contract for $130,000 a season. Only King Wally and Meninga were the 1st ones to be offered $100,000 a season.

@mightymaggies1 They came, they played, they lost. Take it with some grace, not excuses.

There was easy more than 36,985 people there i was there as a 8 year old boy and it's a miracle no -one was crushed or seriously injured.

The memory of that night will be with me until my dying day.

I wish the poms could still play like this,would make games against the kiwis and aussies far more interesting instead of seeing them nearly always come in a distant third

[Deb762]

Great game, great night.

@saintbowen79 Yeah I can understand that.

Well said.

[saintbowen79]

@bobnudd i might just hold you to that matey lol, cannot wait for tommorow!!!!

[saintbowen79]

@MatyCraig1 to be honest i thought they sounded worse at last years tri nations final, but that comes out of frustration, we can compete with you one minute the next we fall to bits, i dont really expect anyone from england or oz to be impartial lmao

[MatyCraig1]

Your commentators aren't bius ?

Watch the World Club Challenge Manly - Leeds. Or even the world cup the year before when Australia smacked England 56 - 4. And come back to me and say our commentators aren't bius.

We don't even care about the Super League it is never mentioned.

Then again we don't think it's crap. There is good talent in the Super League, but not up to an NRL's standard.
