    Lodge, you Monster

    The situation with Lodge is a little less clear than just being sacked. He was sacked from Wests but that was not because of on field performance but rather that serious matter in NY City. He played for Brisbane over 3 years, and was released mid season after a bad injury the year before as a...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Bit of Revisionism there, Leonard. 1. He left Manly despite a big offer to hold him and a sacrificing of DCE but was enticed to a $1.1 million per season contact. 2. He was released from Parramatta for much the same reason Schuster left Manly. Personal issues including not meeting the...

    Lodge, you Monster

    The issue you raised Stuboot had nothing to do with average games per year or mid season switches Keep to the issue. This wasn't anything more than about your comment. It was about his contracts being ended by team/coaches he had. Parramatta had him on a million plus a year 3 year contract. By...

    Ugly win was beautiful

    Certain criticisms seem to appear from time to time regarding members of this backline. Especially aimed at Turbo, Koula, Garrick and DCE. My opinion. This is the best backline Manly has been graced with since 2012 and maybe potentially better. Every one of the seven, Trbojevic, Hopoate...

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    Its hard being retired. But someone has to live it.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    The comment wasn't regarding my accessibility. Its was about a potential reason Manly lost to the Sharks. Not sure how it got to the question of my access. My comment was merely to point out the Labor Party's alleged poor fiscal policy, has no effect on me personally regarding transport. Walking...

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    I actually live 10 minutes from the stadium. As for transport costs I'm on a seniors card and can go anywhere for $2.50 return. C'est la vie

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    I am always amused by conspiracy theorists, but one has to wonder when Manly saw the Dogs whipped by the Cows and having demolished them the week earlier, whether they were less motivated to win against the Sharks. The only outcome was that Manly wouldn't be playing the Dogs at home but playing...

    I think you'll find that most teams face that dilemma. A few high paid stars and a grab fest for the rest.

    Lehi Hopoate

    I note this consistently on these sites. The high expectations before players come anywhere near their peak. I reiterate. The Sea Eagles and we supporters, too often look for quick fixes. We seem to forget that these players are on a journey and some will take a few years to reach their...

    Lehi Hopoate

    Its a special talent few have. I remember watching Mark Ella in Union who did the same. Seemed to virtually slow down and take control of time. Control the play. Cliffy had an element of it. Magic to watch

    [Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?

    I don't think there is an intended bias by the administrators of the NRL. There are however vague elements that make some areas favouring certain teams over others. One is the junior boundaries that seriously favour some teams like Parramatta, Penrith, Brisbane and even Canterbury Bankstown in...

    I've always had favour with Wally Lewis, who in my opinion was the best player I've ever seen and who we only saw patches of at the last few years of his career. Almost a Manly player as well. Love Napper Lyons who I consider the second best player to have played for Manly, but neither he nor...

    Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]

    You're up hill trying to win any game in the modern era when you have three players sin binned , therefore leaving you with a full side for only 50 minutes, the penalties go against you 8 to 5, you have almost 10% less ball, 3 to 1 ruck infringements against, and then cruel yourself with 40...

    Run Koula Run

    Some are jumping the gun again. He's just returned from a serious injury and we are expecting immediate star quality performances. Seems many were suggesting the same problem with Turbo...until he had a few games under his belt and felt free to run unhampered. Patience.

    Though I think Irvine definitely deserves recognition, There's no doubt Coote was an outstanding player. That South Sydney side in the late 60s and early 70s was brilliant. Manly had to buy three of them to get their first premiership. That Coote and McCarthy combination at Souths though was awesome
