    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    Turbo seems to doing quite a bit of attacking forays getting passes or set up plays from Brooks so probably will not be that much difference if D C E is regretfully out . Arthur has a quite reasonable passing and directing play game so hopefully will be adequate on his side as well giving...

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    Bit of a concern also if Waddell and Lawman are the edges , both quite ordinary ball players . Not the most necessary prerequisite for playing there but would present a few limitations if again both occupy those roles .

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    Looks like a fairly ordinary outcome for Blacktown yesterday so not sure how guys like Parker will come into better contention for a call up into an edge role in particular . Recall how Lawton went quite well in the 2 nd row some 3 seasons ago in his Manly debut , pretty solid Manly middle...

    DCE and Haumole both gone

    Hard to argue that Lane was not put in a dangerous position but more on the accidental side surely and Haumole seemed to consciously pull out of the tackle to try and avoid any more problems . Definitely not intentional and the accidental nature with D C E also but from the judiciary...

    Paul Kent in trouble again

    Haven 't watched all of the N R L footy shows featuring Kenty this year but generally thought that he was going O K actually just in terms of his footy related comments and takes and the fact he was just professionally focusing on Footy matters . Not a good look with this episode ...

    Garricks performance at centre

    Can 't see any gain in the most likely switch of Garrick and Tommy Talu and in the present playing circumstances and if it was even a consideration . Even less with the prospect of Faulalo or Parker if there was a vacancy there . More like Paulo back to the wing and then Talu moving to centre...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    Performance against the Panthers was probably the benchmark level for Manly to be serious contenders .Not quite at that level last night but in the patches that mattered , certainly showed enough . Still had that 2 point lead when Sivo had his brain snap so were well within range to securing...

    Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    Think Manly should be still up for it though regardless of the Eels mindset, that should be enough

    Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    Going to have to tidy up some of that edge defence, particularly on that vulnerable side . This Manly lineup does look good on paper and really should have the edge over the Eels in this one , even allowing for a bit of an Eels expected turnaround . If the Manly attack can click into gear after...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Pretty sure that Moses [ Suli ] was on about 550 k at Manly and Dragons were prepared to offer 600 to 650 K for 3 years or so but no idea really how any behind the scenes revised contract arrangements were being conducted Think also it was the case of trying to retain Koula on a longer...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Could be a range of scenarios coming up for Shu and in regard to any League comeback Could only imagine any other N R L initially only offering a short term deal , even a train and trial basic contract arrangement and if he is showing some indication of being ready to get back into the grind...

    Post-Game Discussion Post-Game Discussion - Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    Has been good enough defence in the centres with Garrick when there is a bit less pressure reading the defence but on his side of the ruck ,also seems to be a particular problem with nominating which players to commit to and to try and shut down the attack . Be very surprised if there is some...

    Think that you might have some considerable disagreement on the value of Foz "s 2 nd stint with Manly and as the 6 . A bit down on the speed and elusive level but pretty effective in the other important areas , Even on the weekend , has not really lost much of his good direction in attack and...
