Hate Manly Week

[mosto]

But you won that by default because no valid NRL team appeared in the Grand Final. Hollow victory eh?

...or you could make a case that beating an illegal team by a record GF margin made a truly commendable victory indeed ;)

 

[Crusher]

I hate manly because they will fall just short of putting 50 points on the Broncos...

 

[Fozz]

With Smith out, it was a legal team.

:cuckoo:

I swear, I saw someone look like that in crowd on the Foxtel Footy show last night.

 

[Fonz]

Wait. What? 97/98..92/93.

I like Fozz better.

That was ARL not NRL

Nah, see, Storm's cheating began in 2006, but was rampant from 2007-2009. 2006 premiership counts as legitimate because the cheating was limited. No other premiership has been valid until last year's stellar win by Wayne Bennett's Dragons. Therefore, Wayne Bennett won back to back premierships in 2006 and 2010. No premierships were awarded from 2007-2009.

True story, happened to me.

It's unlucky Wayne divorced you then isn't it? You might have been able to add to your piddly 5 premierships.

Two boys kicking a footy around a park in Brisbane when, suddenly, one boy is attacked by a savage Rottweiler.

Thinking quickly the other little boy rips a paling off a fence, wedges it in the dogs collar and twists, breaking the savage animals neck.

A Brisbane Curier Mail reporter rushes to the scene to interview the little hero.

"YOUNG BRONCOS FAN SAVES FRIEND FROM VICIOUS ANIMAL" is the headline he writes in his note book.

"But I'm not a Broncos fan," the little boy corrects him.

"Sorry," says the reporter, "Since we are in Brisbane I assumed you were," and he begins a new headline.

"COWBOYS FAN RESCUES FRIEND FROM SAVAGE ATTACK"

"That's not right, I don't support the Cowboys either," says the young lad.

"You don't?" Says the gobsmacked reporter. "Can't believe that but this one will be right...."

"TITANS SUPPORTER RISKS LIFE IN HEROIC RESCUE"

"I'm not a Titans supporter either," replies the little boy.

"I assumed everyone in Queensland supported either the Broncos, Cowboys or, if really desperate, dumb bogans, the Titans," replies the reporter..."Just who do you support?"

"Wer'e both from the northern beaches of Sydney, we're both Manly supporters," the youngster proudly proclaims.

The reporter immediately starts a new headline in his notebook..."LITTLE REDNECK MANLY BASTARD VANDALISES FENCE AND KILLS BELOVED FAMILY PET"

Hey leave my nephew out of this :)

6 mate. Since 1988. You have... 2? To our...6?

 

[Coxy]

He probably doesn't count 1997. Why would he? It was one of 3 Grand finals his team has lost since 1988.

How many Grand Finals have the Broncos lost again? Oh yeah. 0.

 

[Porthoz]

I swear, I saw someone look like that in crowd on the Foxtel Footy show last night.

Not just someone, most of them looked like that!

 

[Dannymh]

Are we counting the ones we lose, and not the ones we win?

Wow, have things changed since I moved to QLD :)

 

[Coxy]

Well we have to compare winning percentages in Grand Finals ;-)

Since 1988:
Broncos: Played 6, won 6, 100%
Manly: Played 5, won 2, 40%

Oh dear... :P

 

[Dannymh]

Well, it's certainly a new way of looking at things and increase my life stats in a few areas :)

 

[Coxy]

Selective stats are awesome.

I particularly like the stats comparison of Manly and Broncos in years 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2006.

Broncos: 6 GFs, 6 wins
Manly: 1 GF, 1 loss

WIN!

 

[Porthoz]

Well, it's certainly a new way of looking at things and increase my life stats in a few areas :)

It's the only fair way to compare us to the scum... I mean Manly. Looking at the stats since both clubs compete in the same competition...

 

[Kaz]

I will probably be banned for this.

But I used to support Manly before the Broncos started.

I was torn on who to support in the Broncos first game.

Then kickoff happened & I screamed Go Broncos.

And I now hate Manly with a passion.

well not completely fair, given the Norther Eagles, plus the few years of split competition. However I will let you have that one

Don't mention the Northern Eagles ever again.
