That's not a very good omen for the Storm heading into the final  :icon_frown:

Who are you??
All you do here is whinge about how Storm are looking like losing.
It's friggin annoying, especially if you are an actual Storm supporter like you claim to be - talk about the voice of doom and a farkin sooky la la  :roll:
If you are, as most of us suspect, a Manly supporter just looking to cause trouble - you're not making us scared, just bored with your crap!  :sleepy4:

Nothing in this stat. Manly have had it all over the Storm at Brookie, just as the Storm have had it all over Manly at that sh*t field you play at.

We've never played each other at Telstra.

Also, we've played 10 times in history. That stands at 5-5 each at the moment.

Manly to win!

I think you'll find the record a little more interesting than that Chicken Little. Manly and Storm have played 10 times since 1998 - 4 times at Olympic Park, 6 times at Brookvale. The head to head record is 5 each. Manly have never won an "away" match against the Storm! Stick that statistic up your shawizzle!

How about that 4 losses have come in each of 04, 05, 06 and 2007. Not a highly convincing record. But then you'd not like to go back further than that when Storm actually got consecutive home games.

If you want to take form over four years as an indication..

Storm have an 85.71% winning record at Stadium Australia (actually better than Olympic Parks 76.34%)
Manly have a 50% winning record at Stadium Australia (and only 71.32% at Brookvale)

In the last 4 seasons, Storm have won 67 games for a 69.8% winning record.
In the last 4 seasons, Manly have won 53 games for a 55.2% winning record.

And if you want to use the last 10 years as a guide, how about this... In all games between Storm and Manly, the average scoreline would produce a Storm victory 22points to Manly's 19.

Manly are always hard to beat at Brookvale, just as Geelong in Kardinia park. Secondly, during our super seasons (2006-2007) We played them at Brookvale last year and they won. We played them here and we won. Then this year we played them over there and we NARROWLY lost. They won't have any home ground advantage GF day.

It was our second year, we'd probably never even played them yet lol
Not quite, but you're forgiven for your ignorance :) I'm sure you didn't even know who we were back then.
