    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 24 2013

    Good report CF2... Agree that Rose probably wouldn't be my starting prop. Gower might have been a better alternative, I also feel that he has a lot more to offer, given the chance. Apart from a few mistakes in is first outings he has since barely put a foot wrong. Not sure why the seemingly...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 23 2013

    That was as good as a win. To me we were the better side. I'm really proud of the effort our boys put in against all odds. How many metres did we cause them to lose with the ball? This year it seems that Melbourne or Manly are going to have to beat a 15 man "Sydney" team. An impossible task...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 22 2013

    So in noticing that this site/message board is as active as a zombie post-apocalyptic pilates class, i'll re-focus my attention to what seems to be the real issues at hand - in the name of being a good/concerned Manly supporter. Firstly, the easier dilemma; Refraining from attending away...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 22 2013

    Ummm...what was I going to say? Oh never mind...probably wouldn't have added anything anyway. If I did it would probably come from a place of pessimism and anxiety and I don't want to upset the apple cart at this stage of the season especially as it's chugging along so smoothly. So, nice job...

    Stewart backs Menzies on Manly try record

    Nice one globular, now i'm having second thoughts :D

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 19 2013

    Thanks cf2, I agree totally but if I may be so bold... The Good: The class of Brett Stewart and our backline finally gelling in attack. The Bad: Dropped balls, loose carries, forced passes, bad passes, forward passes, no passes and more unnecessary pressure. (Thank God Sezer missed that...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 17 2013

    I agree about the right-side defence...Gleddybear is just too easy to get outside of and often Lyon prefers to play hand slaps with the ball carrier rather than just take out his pins (what is this modern obsession with needing to tackle high regardless of the situation? Sometimes it's just an...

    A cloud of befuddlement still lingers after that doozy. I don't know what to make of Manly in 2013. A hearty write-up cf2 and an interesting point regarding the written media's 'Pollyanna' approach to this match. Was it not a tad surreal listening to Des in the post match press conference...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 10 2013

    What happened to Matai, anyone?? I saw him take a dart to the neck from an invisible inter-dimensional ninja (again). That was in the first half though. He came out for the second half but at some point in space and time he simply vanished without a trace. Should we be worried? Should I alert...

    Watching through Rose-coloured glasses

    Yes it's true, that is the premise of the argument. It is just a more pressing issue than the, "who will bring us smiles" quandary. And yes, I think 'those people' do realise that this is not a choice between either George or no one at all. I think the issue that lent persuasion to the...

    Watching through Rose-coloured glasses

    I'd like to keep Gorge Rose, especially considering the fact that we're thin on front rowers at the moment. The questions are - What is he worth? Can we afford him? How do you put a price on happiness? Do smiles at training translate to a greater on-field team performance? Re - That Gorgeous...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    Sorry mate, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Perhaps the jocular element of my comments gets lost in translation when combined with pertinent issues. I'll work on that. Allow me to put you at ease if I can by assuring you that I do pledge allegiance to the Almighty Sea Eagles and that I...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 9 2013

    Des used to do the same thing, not use all the bench players. I am certain there is a reason for it and my thoughts are, it is for fitness purposes and preparing the forwards for the end of year games. I'm certain there is a reason for it as well. If fitness is the reason, how long should we...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    panash, you're right and I'm not worried about missing finals even if we don't win again till Brett comes back. My concern is that like last year, too many disruptions may impede the building process necessary to establish a rhythm to succeed in Sept/Oct. We don't want to be eventually getting...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    Thanks Ralphie. I was beginning to think that I was the only one that came away from that frustrating experience a little disillusioned.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - rd 9 2013

    Honest report cf2 and well done on finding serval paragraphs of "GOOD" to write about. 100% agree about Matt Ballin's attack. Buhrer has no excuse apart from perhaps confusion as to how to play his role but Ballin makes 50 tackles per game for 150 consecutive games now. That's 7500 tackles from...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    I thought Hiku went alright also, in a match were no one really went alright. Did SBW even play? I know Taufau has been suspect under the high ball and he doesn't like both feet to leave the ground simultaneously but he may have to just get used to it. His passing game is also a bit of a...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    I love this team and will till I die but i'm starting to doubt the ability of our coach. For the second week in this 'tough period' has he left a fresh forward, cold on the bench for the entire match (against bigger packs)? What does that say about our depth? Why would anyone play Hiku at...

    Manly Sea Eagles - Round 7,8,9 &10

    This article, in the future, could also be called - "THE BEGINNING OF THE END" We played our Grand Final against Souths, played well but not well enough.

    Matai refuses to soften his style

    Steve Matai. I understand the hatred towards him, most of that came when he threw on a Manly jersey. The notion that he fakes being injured all the time still confuses me, what possible benefit could that achieve? Run at me, run at me, i'm injured....no..really..I am...run at me, I'm a defensive...
