NRL 2007 Grand Final: Melbourne Storm vs Manly Sea Eagles

[Coaster]

It also depends on your definination of wrestling, grabbing someone in a head lock and twisting them to the ground is a bad form of "wrestling" AKA grapple tackle. But you can wrap a player up in certain ways around the arms legs and torso without it at all being dangerous.

Mate i agree, every team does it.

Hell Cartwright uses the word wrestle 14 times every press conference.

But knowing there was cameras in the dressing rooms, i would think someone at the storm would have been smart enough to move the whiteboard to the other side of the room, or use a code word like "Dominate"

All this *****es whigning about "wrestling". Every team "wrestles" its a mans game if you can handle someone pulling your arm then give up. Cayless is past it and should retire anyway.

Heaven forbid we have someone beaten to death with an arm that had previously been attached to their body.

That would be awesome to see!

lol, well untill that happens i dont see anything wrong with that sort of tackle.

Melbourne to choke two year running.

I don't like Manly but it would just be too piss funny to pass up seeing Melbourne win every game except the one that matters 2 years in a row.

Not even Sharks and Dragons combined could choke on that scale.

Sharks and Dragons combined?

God no. Sharks can't make it past round 16 and the Dragons are either too injury prone to make the finals, or just bow out if they do struggle in. Add to the fact Sharks and Dragons are never gonna get along, this combination couldn't win the coin toss.

[Social Loafer]

The only positive onf Manly winning would be they might get money to fix their rabble of a ground. You can only use 'tradition' so many times to depend dilapidated swamp.

well if we both managed to somehow get there, one of us would have to win woudn't we, i suppose a never ending draw could occur.

How many years the sharkies be in now cs, end up being the nrl's 40 year old virgin soon

(i anticipate i will win one in about 10 years) :woot:

[Big J]

I hate Manly with a passion, especially after the abuse I copped at Brookvale this year but I would rather a Sydney team win it then a UCLA wrestling team full of canetoads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Manly.

[Eel 33]

I'll have to pick the lesser of 2 evils in this one. There's no way in hell i'd back that team from the northern peninsula, let alone mention their name.

A stat for those interested..
Last 10 games between Manly and Melbourne:5 all.
Last 5 games:Manly 4 Melbourne 1.
I think this game will be closer than some people predict.

Since 1967, Hoppy, so they already are the 40 year old virgins. But at least they're still around. Premierships obviously don't count for a great deal, 15 (11 of which were consecutive) couldn't save your mob.


And your right PROM, this is gonna be a close game. Golden point wouldn't surprise me one bit. Got no love, or even like, for either team, but I can't wait for Sunday!

For sure, just like the last time they met, that game was very physical and very close.

I HOPE the storm win by more then 13 but realisticly i think there will only be 6-8 points in it.

[~lee~]

I think its going to be more the 2-3 point margin for the Storm. I dont see anyone getting away in this one. I just wish i was able to watch it live.
