    Pre-Game Titans v Manly [Round 22, 2022]

    This is the Sunday telly game. Oh dear. Not even resurrecting The Moose could make this watchable.

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2022

    They need to dump the bunker and go back to ingoal touch judges. Every summer on Fox they show replays of mid 1990s games with ingoal touch judges. In combo with the referee and the sideline touchies, having the ingoal touchies, every try was awarded or disallowed very quickly and seemingly was...

    The race for the top 8.

    To quote that great rugby league journo Boz Scaggs at the end of the 1975 season Why can't you just get it through your head It's over, it's over now Yes, you heard me clearly now I said It's over, it's over now

    Suburban Upgrades (ie us) torpedoed

    NRL chasing large stadiums was people copying AFL. But rugby league was never like AFL cross country track meets and should never had sought big stadiums except for grand final and Origins. NRL was always more like NBA and NHL where it was best watched in a raucous full house no more than 20K...

    Why do you support Manly?

    Since the start of the 1970s, we're now living in Manly's longest ever premiership drought. Never gone more than 9 seasons without a premiership. Until now. (Noting that 2013 was actually a * premiership).

    Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 21, 2022]

    27K inside Brookie in 1986 vs Eels - go to 42 mins in this video

    Suburban Upgrades (ie us) torpedoed

    Time to look at buying Rat Park. Then again, its not as if we ever see Brookie sold out before kickoff. Just accept Brookie is what it is and enjoy it. I still think taking one Manly game to Homebush (or even the new SFS?) every year and working hard to sell it out as annual Sea Eagles...

    Three Man Tackles

    Another blight caused by the ill thought decision in 1993 to go to the 10m rule. The referees are exposing players to danger by not calling held quickly enough. They do it as the NRL likes late off loads. If the referees called held sooner, maybe players would pass the ball instead of...

    Dogs are better hope for the top 8 than Manly at the moment.

    Other Games [Round 20, 2022]

    Geez, 3 minutes to go, scrum 20m out with the feed, even Wests know how to ice a win! Great scrum try. Wests 32 - Donkeys 18.

    Was Cliff Lyons' 300th for Manly actually his 303rd?

    I know for sure in mid 1993 he was on the bench in Perth for Manly's win vs Sharks alongside Beaver in his 2nd game. What a combo! on the bench, but Cliffy never got on the field. Then a week or two later there was a headline he had been dropped to Manly's reserve grade team. I thought his...

    Next Coach after Des

    I think this above is the 'must' part. Toovey again? I doubt he will do it. I wish he would. Cleary come home? But is he Manly? Just 15 games in first grade. Is Matt Ballin's career heading towards a fulltime coach?

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 20, 2022]

    Reading the team sheet, like its 1977 mid week Amco Cup side. All hope is not lost. Manly can still win with DCE, Foran & Jake.

    Overreaction

    Unfortunately I don't know what the refs are watching during the week in reviewing their games. No matter how much milking goes on, the next weekend is just more of the same. You're 100% correct as to what is going on, but generally I prefer to watch a game of rugby league. The people who...

    Overreaction

    Which is exactly what is getting fans wound up. Why do Penrith and some other special clubs never cop what looks like they are being singled out for the night by the ref? Why were Manly repeatedly hammered earlier in the season and then Des copped $25K fine? Last night was a return to earlier in...

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

    Foran to #9 & Schuster to #6. Just do it Des.

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

    Bad bad memories still of the day at Kogarah in 2004 we led them by 34 to not much and got run down 36-34. It was as bad as the recent Cowboys capitulation. Not so happy hunting ground. Some very good Sea Eagles teams have not left Kogarah a winner. 2020: lost 34-4 2014: won 21-12 2013: won...
