ER....they have brought [url=http://www.manlyseaeagles.com.au/news.asp?newsid=4124&Mth=2&Yr=200923 players[/url with them on this trip, so rookie side is a bit of a puzzling statement. What may happen, is 6 players will get to sit the game out, or they may have unlimited interchanges during the game and use everyone, but a rookie side it won't be.

getting the excuses in early for when the Quins turn them over.

You do realise there is a difference between International and Club rugby?

I am pointing out that Manly are not putting their strongest squad out in the Quins game.

Is it that hard to understand?



Club and International games?

Half of the Super League teams are imports from the NRL what are you trying to say?



What part of this game is in Manlys favour or any other team that Oz has sent over in the last decade?

The deck is stacked as always and you all know it, its the only chance you get to gloat as you win bugger all.

In saying that Manly by 20 +



Mintball one reasonable Olympics does not make a strong case.

It was only because England through massive money at it due to the game in England next time.

How have you gone in previous Olympics?



Its Laughable

1966 in Football

2005 Ashes win

2008 Olympics

You cling to so little for comfort its sad.





Mintball you should spend more time moderating abusive posts on this forum than gloating over one of results in sport.

Ah. That was why Aussies were whinging and whining, was it?

Who was whinging?

You must read the local propaganda where you live.

You a moderator here?

I here you are a big reason why people don't come on here is that true?

What you actualy did was cut and paste a link from a pretty lazy piece of Journalism that pointed out, incorrectly, that Manly would field a Rookie side, when in actual fact, at least 7 of the side that will play against Harlequins will also play against Leeds.

Hope that clears that up for you

7 from 17 players is not half last time I looked?

You have really bad hangups about winning a trial game don't you?

no hang ups here pal, just a little bit puzzled as to why Manly would request the warm up game, then request it was moved to give them more time to aclimatise after arriving last Sunday....and then put out a "rookie" team?

I still say that all 23 will get a run out on Sunday with the second half seeing a few fringe players getting most of the game time. It is in their interest to do so, otherwise they may as well have just flown straight to leeds and "trained" for 2 weeks.



Tell you what, I'll ask Des Hasler what he plans to do when I see him on Thursday night and report back to you

You do that mate.

Nobody in Australia gives a rat about the game.

well..funny you should ask.



in terms of medals won we are 3rd in the overall table...technically we are 2nd because the USSR does'nt exsist anymore...hth









ps it was mt dandenong not bendigo or ballarat...nearly right

Nice one – attempt to move the goalposts when you're losing.





IIRC, we only win medals when sitting down or going backward. Not that that was whinging.



Presumably the Aussies only win medals when handcuffed or dragging a ball and chain behind them.
