Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2631818, member: 1899"] Yep. It's why I refuse to write off any Hasler team or Manly for that matter. When I was more naive I remember thinking there was no way they'd be able to improve upon 06, especially after losing Kennedy. Sure enough they made a GF. Then I thought there was no way they could improve on that with Monaghan gone who was probably their form player at that time. 40-0. Then they lost Brett Stewart for the season... after that I just kept my mouth shut. While I was terrible at getting a read of Manly, I was pretty confident Melbourne would hit back. They had a lot of talent coming through from their glorious 2009 NYC premiership side and basically got to blood them while they fielded an illegal roster. It sped the process up and while the cap would eventually get to them, I could see them earning a premiership with the likes of Smith, Slater & Cronk. I bet Brian Edwards did too FWIW. [/QUOTE]
