Do you think MANLY can go back to back next season?

If manly had an easy season like 08 then maybe they will.Hardly any soo reps unlike Storm who had 9- 10 for the 3 games and also SOO coach. Storm had a very tough season and still won their 3rd successive minor premiership(never been done in NRL)Made 3rd successive GF.Great job Storm.Yes we were outplayed in the GF but it took a mighty effort for Storm to be there.See you in next years GF manly..

I wouldn't bet on it.I'm sure this time last year lots of people thought the storm could go back to back after they thrashed Manly.You never know what might happen in the nrl,If a team suffers injuries to a couple of key players it can throw the whole season out the window.There's so much talent in ALL the nrl teams I'd say Manly has a 1/16 chance but I'm sure Manly fans would disagree.

Roosters made 3 GFs in 02 Won, 03 Lost, 04 Lost.

Storm made 3 GFs in 06 Lost, 07 Won, 08 Lost.

So I think that Manly can MAKE it to the GF next year, but win it??? Nah, It's not easy to just Win a GF. I know all you Manly fans are exited it's been a LOOOOOONG time since you last held up the Trophy, but don't get ahead of yourselves.

Likely to be 07 Lost 08 Won 09 Lost

With a team like this, I think it's almost certain.

1. Brett Stewart

2. Michael Robertson

3. Jamie Lyon

4. Steve Matai

5. David Williams

6. Chris Bailey

7. Matt Orford

8. Brent Kite

9. Matt Ballin

10. Josh Perry

11. Anthony Watmough

12. Glenn Hall

13. Glenn Stewart

14. Heath Le'Strange

15. Marlk Bryant

16. Jason King

17. Tony Williams

18th Man- Adam Cuthbertson

Yes.

Still have a great team with good buys and players coming through.

Chris Bailey, Tony Williams will provide some greatness and a Bailey/Orford partnership would be awesome. Lyon would go back to his centres position. the only thing that could halt us would be SOO duties. Back2Back

They are definetly a Grand Final team.

But I don't know if they will get a back to back, Melborne's playing was just bad last night.

(Not a Melbourne suporter)

may be, the only thing is they have lost a few good players tho. esp steve menzies, does anyone notice that each time steve menzies was on the field , they score tries? a great lost.

No way! The storm will return as 2009 Premiers

No the Sharks will break thier duck next year.

Anything's possible i guess, but don't count your chickens just yet, as there are so many good teams out there.
