    Honeymoon over for two Manly greats

    Disappointing. I can see Skivvy potentially coming back for a farewell but Snake seems to be very jaded with the Club. Hopefully they can come to grips with what happened and the club gives them the appropriate farewell. At least the club seems to be doing them a solid by allowing them to...

    No more Ex Manly coaches left.

    The Walker brothers are one option. One of them played for us right?

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    I couldn't agree with you more about Cullen not being able to play at 9. He is far too light and he would be trampled on a regular basis by the big forwards on the comp. In my opinion Api is a one trick pony. He is very good with the ball in hand running at the defense. His ball placement and...

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    Maybe @Turbo1 has changed his mind on Api?? Api is a good reserve player for depth as he can cover a number of positions in a pinch but he isn't someone I'm sold on in any form as a starter. As for Shuan Lane, I like him as an impact forward who plays maybe 20 odd mins total and just charges...

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    The pressure at hooker is more to do with workrate rather than ability to read the attacking structure. I think that is where Green struggles the most. I could be wrong but whats the harm in trying. Another option would be Hastings at 9 and Cullen at 6 but I'm still not sold on Cullen as he...

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    Honestly, the only thing I think that would prevent him from doing so is his defense. The issues I have noticed with his defense is not that he can't tackle, its that he seems to second guess himself and doesn't commit when sliding. This would occur much less frequently if defending in the...

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    I know a lot on here have a love affair with Api but his service just not good enough. Green is also not a good defender on the edges. He needs forwards around him to help. Maybe moving him to defend in the middle of the pitch will help, plus his service and kicking game will be handy. I'd love...

    Manly v Raiders Round 8 (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

    I wouldn't agree that he is better than Sironen. I would argue that he is a better option off the bench than Brown though! I would love for him to be in rather than Winterstein for his run metres but with the left edge as horrible in defense as it has been the last thing that edge needs is an...

    Jamil Hoppa

    The issue that I have is that he was charged and convicted of an offense. He served his time in prison and met his subsequent requirements of his parole which has now been completed. So as far as his debt to society he has paid what the courts deemed appropriate. His employer (aka Manly) wishes...

    Market Watch 19/4

    I hope we don't resign Winterstein unless it is purely for forwards depth. His lateral defense leaves a lot to be desired. We need to lock up Bainbridge as he is going to be a very solid player in a couple of years. I also cannot see why we would want Albert Kelly. We already have plenty of...

    Absolutely Pathetic

    I think the issue for a lot of supporters is confidence in a win. I know between 2007-2013 I had confidence we could be anyone anywhere not matter the circumstances. Now it's a toss of the coin. That plays a factor in crowd numbers. Also, for this weekend a lot of people go away for Easter...

    The coaches box

    All I'll say is that it is a "results driven business"

    Why all the hate for Api

    Sorry mate, but Api rarely tops the tackle count. He has 22 I think tonight. I agree that Api does a lot of good things, the issue is he can't do the one job the hooker needs to do, accurately pass the ball following the play the ball.

    Why all the hate for Api

    Funny, a hooker who just passed served us very well in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013....

    The decision which needs to be made

    The attack from both the forwards and the halves is killed constantly by Api. Green is also struggling with organising the team. I suggest moving Green to 9 and dropping Apia to Blackstone (is there anything lower than that? If so, send him there). Hastings would then replace Green and partner DCE

    Internal NRL draft

    The process towards a rookie draft system would likely take up to 10 years to implement. To be honest though, the NRL needs to start this now. The NRL needs to work with NSW and QLD Rugby League and set up a proper U18s competition. Run it under the school boys program if need be to start with...

    Signings for 2018

    That is true, but I am not sure we have a real need for him so I don't think a gig at Manly would appeal to Gutho. I can see him potentially in a clean swap with Moses and Gutho heads to the Tigpies.

    STATS AMAZING! NRL ROUND 6

    I'd love to agree with you but there is so much **** out that it's hard to know what was said haha!

    STATS AMAZING! NRL ROUND 6

    What about when Ballin's head had the audacity to connect with Smith's elbow numerous times!

    Signings for 2018

    I guess the issue is where would you play him? Our back three have been great thus far so that is unlikely at this stage. Kelly and Walker are also better options in the centres. That would mean one of the halves would go to make way. I cant see that happen when you already have the likes of...
