    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Absolutely. Shu needs to get game time in his legs if he is expected to play 80 minutes and a cameo off the bench is not going to help. In fact, we may well find, depending on how Burbo and Waddell go this week, that he'll be in Reggies for another week. Why? Game time and confidence, because...

    Woodsie's Team List Tuesdays

    Both the Reggies and 1st Grade are going to be great games. What a way to spend an Autumn Sunday afternoon. I have convinced the wife to come along, so I had to get grandstand seats. This will be her second time ever attending a Manly game and so far she has not seen Manly lose. In fact, the...

    Garricks performance at centre

    There are several points to consider in my opinion: 1) who gives damn how fast a player is over 100m, as rarely does a player actually run 100m in one bolt. Ilias easily caught Saab coming from behind, before Saab was in full flight. The greatest sprinter of our time, Usain Bolt never won a...

    2024 Casualty Ward

    It’s.the nature of the game unfortunately and that’s why each team has to have depth. I note that Tommy Talau has been named on the right wing for Blacktown, so that may be somewhat of an indicator as to what Seibs is thinking to replace Saab. The Eagles may have an opposed session on the...

    What is it about animals...?

    I often wonder how many names Ian Roberts was called when he was playing albeit, I doubt many were game to. I abhor racism, however, there’s all sorts of banter on the field, which I am sure those who have played at the highest level can attest to, and lots of name calling, which was just...

    2024 Casualty Ward

    I will be surprised if Garrick is not out for at least the next round, maybe one or two more. Saab will be at least 5 rounds.

    Manly's BEST signings in years

    In fairness, Paulo missed one tackle and he still had hold of the guy’s ‘shorts string’ when he scored. You can’t fault him for effort, just a bad read. He was absolutely ‘crunched’ bring the ball back, however, still retained posession. Brown and Brooks were both outstanding and made a huge...

    Manly's BEST signings in years

    Paulo wasn’t as impactful as I hoped, however, apart form missing one tackle, he was safe under the high ball didn’t get rolled into touch and had limited opportunities in space to show his speed. It’s one game and I think he’ll hold his spot.

    A learning curve for the juniors. We just need one or two to come through each year. I haven’t seen any games, however, I am sure many others have and will have an opinion as to who may be good in future.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    It’s definitely been ‘Photoshopped’ and someone is just taking the ‘piss’ for whatever reason. It’s easy to tell if you enlarge the photo. Completely different shading and skin texture.

    Manly's 2024 surprise packet

    Schuster… well at least that’s what I hope, however, he may prove me wrong.

    A nice attempt at Photoshop, just a shame the skin colours don’t quite match 😊. However, yep, he has big quads.

    Kent is the biggest dribbler on TV.

    Kent is a cynic, and as long as you accept that, I find him quite enjoyable to watch and read his articles. He has his staunch opinions, which I may not necessarily agree with, however, I do find it interesting listening to other points of view. You just have to take it all in context that he...

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

    Panthers ( as long as Cleary isn’t injured) Rabbits (as long a Trell isn’t injured) Sea Eagles (as long as Turbo isn’t injured) Storm Warriors Broncos Roosters Sharks “pie in the sky” stuff really, as Knights, Eels, Dolphins, Titans and Cowboys could also fit in the Top 8. In reality, I think...

    I’d love to hear how Bailey Hodgson went at fullback.

    Depth

    Barring injuries, I think this is probably the best squad we've had for probably the last 5 years. The backline compares favourably to the Top 4 teams, however, it all depends on how Garrick goes at centre and the left winger, whoever that may end up being. If Schuster plays to his obvious...

    interesting that Fifita isn’t in that St G list!

    I hope you are right Joe that the new direction can work, however, it’s going to take a massive amount of work by the club to get kids involved on the Peninsula, especially with their mum’s permission. As you suggested, the Fulton’s concept was well intended, as they recognised a ‘thinner base’...

    Penrith has had teams in the SG Ball GF 5 times in the last 10 years, so it’s sort of worked for them. I know what you mean though Joe, you just need a couple, and from our 2019 losing GF side, I believe there are only four still at the club and all have played at least one 1st grade game.
