Post-Game Discussion Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]
We fell off a couple in the last 8 or so minutes, and Chez too. Their last was particularly egregious. But round one etc etc. I think our attack is really our best defence - but we did defend well for 72 odd minutes. And Scott Drinkwater is class. I hope Ola being the first scorer for 2025 is a...- Niallcc

Trial V Wabbits
I still can’t forgive him for the Sin Bin farce/stitch up at Leichhardt last year.- Niallcc

DCE to announce retierment
I had hoped he would stick around till 2026. That’s when the premiership window probably closes for this decade I think (ending our proud record of at least one per decade if it closes). And, of course, robbed in 2013.- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]
Just like Josh ‘Grub’ Reynolds. I will always remember his milking a penalty by putting himself in a dangerous position to win in 2013.- Niallcc

I did leave early and the comeback started. Should have left 5 minutes earlier!- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]
And when the Tigers put on a clear high shot, penalty only, no report and no bin. This is twice now in the space of a month where I have gone to games (Roosters - also got flu from packed into light rail) and the ref has played a big part in the outcome.- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]
At the game (I live in Norton St). Also back home by the end. I was bemused by Bullemor bin. Got straight up from tackle. And Ola’s bin (no head involved). Just like 2013 GF, the refereeing killed momentum and hope and the players generally didn't rise above it. It was like something scripted in...- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2024]
Brooks kick on for our first try was sublime. He’s such a smart footballer. Had a great game.- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]
Just the reminder of a decent centre pairing complementing each other Eagle1. As a child (70s) John Gibbs was my favourite player. I grew up in Wollongong but Steve Matai is probably my favourite player of that time. And so modest as well. Thanks for the welcome!- Niallcc

Is a good loss a thing?
I remember being in Melbourne in 2013 at the game for the 10-10 extra time draw (not a loss, not a win but never gave up). Last night like that.- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]
Can’t wait for Croker to return (Michael Crocker was the dog shot not even penalised on Brett Stewart in the 2007 GF).- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]
We all know the rank injustice of 2013 but I think that was end of an era that began in 2003 with 3 years in the ‘merger’ wilderness and a core group. Since the 70s (and with the exception of that decade), we have one comp per decade - albeit coached by ex-players (can Seibold break new...- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]
Bully reminds me a lot of Jamie Buhrer - he’s really come on this season. I thought Brooks had a good game too, and he can defend.- Niallcc

Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]
It felt like October 2013 all over again. Teddy to Suaalii = Maloney to Mini. And how Turbo’s pass was forward I don’t know. Was in Bay 29 with the faithful and at least the boys made it close (and preserved our good f/a). On a positive note my first time at new SFS. Such a good place to watch...- Niallcc
