Hate Manly Week

[pennywisealfie]

Dukey, if the Bears came back, would you go for them again? or stay with the Broncos?

 

[Coxy]

I will probably be banned for this.

But I used to support Manly before the Broncos started.

It explains a lot.... :P

 

[Charmamba]

Don't mention the Northern Eagles ever again.

Why not?

if I were him, I would stay with the broncos, I imagine it would be hard going back to supporting a team that has a perpetually empty trophy cabinet

 

[Bucking Beads]

I doubt dukey will ever have to choose unless a few Sydney teams fold.

 

[Porthoz]

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

Given our history, there is a more than fair chance we would have added a few premierships to our tally in the 70's and 80's, had we existed then...

That's a really hard question. After 10 years of following the Broncos I don't know how easily I'd be able to change back... maybe if the Bears stay true to form, I can cheer them for the regular season then follow Brisbane through the finals :lol:

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

You don't really count your Superleague victory do you? lol

While you were off winning that half strength competition we won the real one!

Imagine if we existed in the 70's and 80's. The players we would have had in the 80's!
Wally, Mal, Geno, Fatty, Backo, Steve Walters...OMG!

PS: It was a half arse competition too :P

Fonz, you have disgraced the Z. You shall now be known as Fon.

Sorry my mistake. Busy at work. We were in the real one!

 

[Charmamba]

Sorry my mistake. Busy at work. We were in the real one!

What happened the year after? A team went back to back and it wasn't the winner of the "real" one...

It's an interesting question...if Newcastle had won in 1998, would they be lauded as "back to back champions"? Their 1997 premiership is no more valid than ours.

 

[Jeba]

Sorry my mistake. Busy at work. We were in the real one!

We've never even lost one.

 

[Coxy]

We've never even lost one.

And certainly never lost half a one...

Newcastles 97 premiership should have been stripped from them, for all the drug cheating that went on anyway
