And I say well done you Bunnies, what with your guts and commitment helping cement the new name for Brookie into the minds of the fraying league community over on the Dark Side. For Lottoland it is. You can forget fortresses. The whole lame exercise is turning into one big bone jarring lottery with the odds all wrong.
Get this. These Eagles, the former famous war birds who sport one of the strongest and proudest records in the NRL, have crashed in all rounds at home and away since Round 21 last year. That, bird lovers, is everything from JULY last year. Read that again? Yep. Back when Turnbull was still wiping electoral muck off his face and Hilary was becoming more famous for her errant e-mail server. It’s so far back in the G&T addled memory banks it’s hard to recall, and for Manly fans who’d want to?
So what’s gone wrong at Narabeen? Pretty much everything, but among the ‘everything’ let’s agree that the bad karma of wiping the floor and sacking a guy who’d bled maroon since 1988 could have something to do with it. Then there’s the small matter of his replacement; a nice guy who everyone seems to like and one who everyone thinks could have won bachelor of the year in 1999, but who also seems to spend more time prepping his shag-pile hairdo than his team. This guy’s post-match media scrums are becoming agonizing affairs. The poorly chosen excuses. The overuse of “mate”. Tough stuff when your team can’t find any rhythm and all tell-tale signs of an unfolding Lottoland mess if Baz can’t be persuaded to forget the hair-gel and get his team performing by the winter solstice – or sooner. The sooner the better really.

Highlights: Souths smash Sea Eagles 38-18
