    Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    True. But it's infuriating when your team loses to an inferior opponent, especially due to hubris, which happened against Canberra. Hubris is often our teams' greatest enemy, and its never named in the opposition's run-on squad.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    I tend to agree. The NRL is split into major clubs, talent-rich clubs and minor clubs. The major clubs are: Easts because of their backers and influence in business and within the NRL. Brisbane, because they have such a huge base for fans and talent, and financial influence. Melbourne, because...

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    Some on here believe Fifita would improve our side. I', not so sure. I regard him in the same vein as The Shoe, albeit with different attributes. The Shoe was all skill and deception; Fifita all bulk and destruction. But both are inconsistent, brilliant one match not involved the next. We've...

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    It's been proven that having more officials complicates and delays decisions. Just like in the corporate world companies with one boss are the most decisive and nimble. So when James Graham suggested on NRL360 last night we put 7-8 former players in The Bunker to decide a decision -- majority...

    Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    Form means nothing these days. I think as fans we get a 'gut feel' when we'll put up a strong performance, and a foreboding of doom when the so-called experts all tip us. Such was the case when we played our hoodoo team, Illawarra, and many of us were worried about Canberra, even though we...

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    I have a different perspective on this. I feel for the defending winger. He was preparing to catch the ball when DWZ came hurtling through the air over the top of him. What was he supposed to do? He was competing for the ball but just hadn't time to jump for it. It seems to me that everything is...

    All NRL Games [Round 9, 2024]

    Being at the ground is even more confusing. These days there is more bell-ringing at RL matches than a prize fight.

    Didn't help the teams they played for this week.

    All NRL Games [Round 9, 2024]

    It's now called Points Bet Stadium. Almost as forgettable as Four Pines Park. We all know the two grounds are Shark Park and Brookie.

    Far too many six-agains this round.

    All NRL Games [Round 9, 2024]

    The ref and The Bunker sure tried hard to keep the Worriers in the match, awarding a series of soft penalties in an effort to even up the contest. The match again showed how close RL is now resembling soccer with players staying down and inviting The Bunker to rule on what they believe are...

    Paul Kent in trouble again

    There was an old journo named Kent whose opinions were twisted and bent. He'd spew froth and bubble that would land him in trouble so to the sin bin he's now been sent.

    Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    Anybody who takes "form" into account when it comes to rugby league is doomed to disappointment. If RL teams were racehorses they would be the subject of a steward's enquiry every few weeks.

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    The answer to the question is not one player, but one coach. Bellyache!
