    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Like I've said previously, I'd hate to be an NRL winger. You're expected to be faster than everyone else, to score tries every game, to have the aerial skills of an AFL player, and the ability to do effective early tackle hit ups while your forwards amble back onside. But even if you've got...

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Saturday will be DCE's 309th first grade game for Manly, equalling the official club record held by the great Cliffy Lyons.

    Is Brandy the biggest knob ever ?

    To continue on from above..... And its not like footballers are stupid, they know the rules. Look at Scott Sorensen from Penrith and his heads up play in the Grand Final when Cleary scored ... he was in the line having been the one to play the ball back to dummy half Mitch Kenny. He sprinted...

    Is Brandy the biggest knob ever ?

    Michael Ennis one of Seibold's assistant coaches......listed as Positional Coach. And you can see him in that role on The Manly Way video's. He's still annoying as hell and still a pest. But for now he's our annoying as hell pest

    Is Brandy the biggest knob ever ?

    100% on that. Jake is in the veteran class these days. Sunday was his 203rd first grade game. He of all people should know better than to stop in the defensive line. Sadly its not the first time Jake or any of his team mates have been penalised for that. You'd think NRL players would learn...

    Is Brandy the biggest knob ever ?

    When you look at the replay ... Moretti had already moved away from Jake and had turned to the ref with his arms outstretched before Turbo even got the ball. He had every opportunity to at least try to get to Turbo running through, and he made no attempt at all, instead just calling for a...

    Is Jaxson Paulo a starter

    He honestly looks like he spends the hours before the game smoking a Dutchie. Looks are deceptive though. I don't think the defence was all down to him on our right side while he has (since and including in Vegas) come up with some good runs infield that have resulted in tries.

    Is Jaxson Paulo a starter

    I would honestly hate to be an NRL winger. You're expected to be faster than everyone else and score 10 tries a game (and you're considered out of form if you haven't scored in 3 or 4 games). You're expected to take early tackle count hit ups and you're expected to have the skills of an AFL...

    MVP: Rd 3 v Eels

    Not one single Manly forward ran over 100 metres today. Not. One. Paseka was closest with 99 from his 12 runs. So bearing that in mind..... 3 - Garrick 2 - Brooks 1 - Brown Garrick was better than people in the game day thread were willing to give credit for. Brooks has been a standout and...

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    The thing that pi$$es me off is that for all intents and purposes, Luca Moretti had clocked off as Corey Parker said. When he realised that Jake wasn't getting the ball, he literally gave up on the play and had zero intention of trying to get to Turbo. And for that, the Worms were rewarded with...

    Its not the first time we've been robbed against the Worms at that stadium..... Sadly I don't think it will be the last either.

    Even the commentators on 9 were blowing up about the obstruction call. No way in hell he even gets close to Turbo, let alone Koula.

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    9–5 penalty count. No prizes for guessing who got 9..... 3–1 six again count. Again, no prizes for guessing who got 3.
