Looks like I'm the only Manly supporter on IIS

40 - 0

The lads sent off Steve Menzies in a clinical demonstration of Manly at their best.

Go the Sea Eagles

i think you meant demolition, not demonstration

but yea, i too am happy that manly won. and what a way to send off Menzies!

the desperate and relentless defence just ground melbourne down.. even into the second half they were still creating those little half chances that all through the year would of had them put points on the board.

Despite the scorline it was great to watch manly where just on another level .. and very much deserved that win ... and I'm definately not a manly supporter

Certainly not Ric.

I am a born and bred Sea Eagles supporter, born in Manly District Hospital in 1972 - around the time of their first premiership so there is no way I could ever support another team.

Well done to the guys - it was a demolition no one saw coming and the important thing was the NIL scoreline to the Gusty Breeze (well you can't really call them the Storm). I guess they just couldn't grapple with Manly's brilliance

It will be a while before the grin is wiped off my face! Funnily enough I haven't heard from any of my mates that have spent the last few months bagging the Mighty Sea Eagles ... might have to give them a call!

Well done Manly and well done the Leeds Rhinos. Who'll be the world champs'?

Steve.

Good value Andrew, good to see a kindred spirit.

It will be interesting to see who's in the Australian team when it's announced tomorrow.

Cheers

Another one here, lived in Mona Vale from the late 70s for over 20 years. My kids went to the public school where Johnny Gibbs was a teacher and Paul Vautin the maintenance man. Playing was not full time employment for most players in those days.

Good to see 33South.

Why does Paul Vautin as a maintenance man suddenly conjure up visions of a Benny Hill sketch.

Cheers
