    What a great weekend!

    I just so wished we had kept Clinton Gutherson. He was a local junior and growing up he always thought he would play for Manly. He would be a wonderful replacement when Tom T goes sore and he can kick goals. He just doesn’t look right in a Parramatta jersey. Whoever decided we didn’t need him...

    MIA [Merged Thread]

    What‘s happened to Bones? He was a regular when I first joined. He also was one of the first people to introduce himself when we went to one of Mark’s Gold Coast Manly Days.

    We are playing well into September to be exact. The next week is October.

    The Kieran Forum

    We need a Kieran Foran type player who can do the same job that Ben Kennedy did to the young team we had in the early to mid 2000’s. We had a relatively young team then and it was his experience that helped them to develop into one of the best Manly teams ever. These young players have just as...

    AFB

    I wonder what happened after that Newcastle game where he got sent off and later suspended. All the hoo ha that followed was way over the top for the crime he committed and he hasn’t been the same since then. Maybe a change of scenery will be the best for him and the team.

    The Book of Albert

    Didn’t Clinton Gutherson suffer 2 ACL’s as well although not quite as soon after each other. He seems to be fully recovered and is playing as well as before. Hoppa is still very young and maybe playing the early part of next season with the Blacktown team will help him gain more confidence.

    The Book of Albert

    I agree with you Bearfax about the young kids. I think to be able to play 1st grade at their age, they must be showing above average ability in the junior grades and to think we have so many kids from that age group preparing for first grade augers well for the future. I was once told it takes...

    Worst thing to happen to us this season

    I think it was the beginning and then all the fuss about AFB swearing in the Newcastle game that was completely over the top just completely knocked the stuffing out of the team. They looked different after that game.

    The Book of Albert

    I just read on Twitter that they were asking for double the amount of money that Manly had offered to pay for Albert. On Sunday’s performance he still has a long way to go before he reaches that level. It doesn’t mean to say he won’t get there in a year or two but at this moment in time he...

    Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 16, 2020]

    It‘s so exciting to finally see one of our own exceptional juniors make his debut today. We wish him luck. Go get them Manly.

    The 17 Des picks? Any debuts?

    I just have a sneaky feeling that Des always intended on playing the younger players in the last 4 games. If we were in contention for the top 8 it would have given some of the regular players a bit of freshen up for the finals. If we were out of contention, like now, we can give the young boys...

    The Book of Albert

    The thing is if the players could get back to their something like their best form they should go very close to winning the last 4 games. They would at least finish the season off on a great note and give us fans something to look forward to next year. I don’t know if the young players are...

    Our draw and next win

    All they need to do is get their passion back and they’ll be more than competitive. They showed it earlier this year with some strong wins against top 8 teams and at one stage was high up in the top 8. It all fell apart with injuries to top players and the hullabaloo about AFB frustrated...

    The Book of Albert

    After that great win, the team just seemed to lose their enthusiasm when AFB was penalised and then later suspended for his outburst against the referee for not awarding them a penalty at the end of the game. They have seemed a different team since then and don’t play with the same passion any more.

    Precedents set , i think

    At least it shows that the players really have passion and really care about playing for Manly. There’s been a build up of frustration since the Parramatta game and there have a few decisions go against us recently and this one was the last straw. At least they are not laughing after losing the...

    Overturn the result

    If Garrick had kicked the two goals he missed we would have won and we wouldn’t have needed that disallowed try to save us.

    NRL players refuse to return to training on May 4 if pay agreement isn't reached

    Look at the difference between the horse racing community and the league players. At the interviews you regularly hear trainers and jockeys saying how grateful they are that racing is still on and not suspended like other sporting activities. Many jockeys are the same age as the football...

    The Bush fires ....and floods

    Boonah is a name I remember from my youth. We had friends that had a farm near Silverdale and we used to go to the Boonah sales to buy calves. I remember going to the sales just watching the cows being sold and trying to work out what the auctioneer was saying.

    Could V’landys be the MAN!?

    He has done an amazing job in racing. He has increased prizemoney to levels that we have never seen before and has introduced new races that are now becoming world wide races like the Everest and the Golden Eagle. He has bought properties around the state where retired horses can be retrained...

    Rumour

    I wonder how all of this will change when V’Landys takes over at the end of October? I hope he will look more into the dealings of all of the clubs and make the game a more even playing field.
