    Parker to centre on Sun.

    I agree with everything you say. What prompts me to want to give Hopoate a shot is that I don’t rate Ray so highly (I think we have seen his ceiling), and I wouldn’t move Garrick from the centres (so no Parker). Young Hoppa would therefore be in my best 17 this weekend, but there is clearly the...

    Parker to centre on Sun.

    It’s moot now anyway. Ray named in the 2, Tommy Talau on the extended bench with Parker.

    Parker to centre on Sun.

    There is always an element of unknown with young players, which is why coaches can be too conservative in their selections. He was taken to Vegas, and played well in the trials, so I think that shows he is not too far off in the club’s estimation. Agree you wouldn’t play a young guy for the...

    Parker to centre on Sun.

    Lehi Hopoate for me. We are 2-0 and can afford to give the young buck a go.

    Comment about our Defence

    I thought Nathan Brown setting the line speed, and the rest of the team following, was the key. I honestly thought he was past it, but he really has started strongly.

    Alleged Leniu incident.

    Do I need to change my alias?

    MWSE Squad Contract Status & Top 30 List

    I guess Matterson is likely to be elevated to the Top 30 now.

    2024 Tipping Competition open for business

    You’ve always said that, and I really admire that principle. But as you say, costs increase and I’m sure you’d find ways to reinvest surplus into the site and/or comps etc if you ever found yourself in that position.

    Aussie Summer 2022/23...24

    Monumental stuff up! Great player and I really enjoy watching him bat. If you had to have one or Williamson, Smith, Root or Kohli bat for your life, who would it be? We are lucky to be able to watch such great batsman play at the same time, albeit the aura around smith is wearing off (or worn...

    2024 Tipping Competition open for business

    In again and this year I will tip the Storm round 1. I used to think a round 1 loss just had to happen, but I’ll now wait until after Bellyache retires. @Dan, have you ever considered providing premium membership and the tipping comp as a bundle? Eg $40?

    Mark's "Your Top 8 & Wooden Spoon" 2024 predictions thread.

    I haven’t been as optimistic as I currently am for the last 10 years. Something is brewing…

    Season 2024 countdown.

    Perhaps putting him front and centre in the shop window?

    New rules

    The penalty was always disproportionate to the infraction. I’ve wanted this rule change for a long time (in fact suggested it to a mate who worked at the NRL almost 10 years ago!)

    Steve "no way" Smith

    I’ll take Smudge the way he is. Every day of the week. He pursues perfection. From everyone, and especially himself. I wish we had more like him at Manly!
