    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Titans [Round 6, 2021]

    This is the best team we have fielded for a long time. Thanks, injuries! Shame no D-Walks to centre finally, but otherwise is pretty spot on.

    Parker.

    Dunno...can you play hooker?

    Sipley

    I really have been beating this guy’s drum for a long time. Has the potential to be a JWH enforcer. Beats the hell out of me why Des can’t see that too...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Penrith [Round 4, 2021]

    Personally, I will be annoyed if Sipley gets cut from the 19. Showed more in his 15 mins last week than any of our other props have to date, including Paseka and Taupau. Why drop him when he bent the line and showed us some real go-forward each carry?

    The Take on Jake

    I have thought for a while now that he would benefit from a ten minute rest. We did that a few games ages ago, and had Darcy Lussick come on at lock for a few mins. When Jake came back on the field fresh, he was absolutely carving up in attack and defence. I'm all for it. Sirro could do the #13...

    2nd Row

    Haha - I also 'met' John Elias one time...he was trying to sneak into a venue I was supervising for a major boxing match, on the pretext that he was actually Ben Elias (who actually had a ticket and was already inside). He got into a verbal barny with my colleague, who pointed out that she was...

    2nd Row

    I worked with Bill Bradstreet’s wife, in one of my earliest jobs. Met him a couple of times. Was a good bloke. Nerida his wife was a lovely person too.

    2nd Row

    I don’t mind the idea, personally. Has the right attributes, and TBH he is as big as Beaver ever was, if not heavier - so physicality shouldn’t be a problem. Yes he gets worked over a bit, but he’ll also have a bigger body or two next to him in the line... Plus he normally at least bends the...

    Buzz Rothfield - Schuster and Keppie to re-sign

    Ahh, yep - that makes sense. Though getting the player wrong is probably worse than getting his position wrong I guess...

    Buzz Rothfield - Schuster and Keppie to re-sign

    Keppie an edge forward now? Typically er... accurate for Rothfool.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Rabbits [Round 2, 2021]

    Agree for the most part, but then if you look at the highlights (sorry) of Ben Turbo and others running off Schuster and being out through gaps so effectively, a lot of the time he is playing back row. Very capable of ball playing from out wider it seems, and can pass back on the inside or feed...

    Great article - big 3 ain’t the problem

    Very true. Again, look to the BWSE game last week. Cust and Harper were throwing themselves into it with a vengeance, as were T Sips and Saddler. None of them touted as anything other than fringe first graders, but that attitude alone was way more encouraging than the rubbish that much more...

    Good game here... if we play with Parra’s guts we will jag a win this weekend. We won’t but hey...

    Manly young guns eyeing releases

    True enough. We were able to carry one or two of them at a time in 2019...but all of them together isn’t pretty. Great Manly teams of the past have been able - in fact often enhanced - by having a couple of less able players who are lifted by greatness around them, and will always give 100%...

    Manly players under pressure for their futures after shellacking

    Agree on Olakauatu - reminds me of that big bopper who punched on with Payne Haas in origin, now at Titans. Name escapes me. Tino something. Haumole is also fast and skilful for a 114kg forward. NRL Physio website suggested he’d ‘only’ be out for six weeks or so depending on severity (and it...

    Manly players under pressure for their futures after shellacking

    I think all those knee injuries have dulled his speed and creativity. Notice he ended up the game playing in the middle? Not sure of that was intentional or he’d just left his post, but he was making a lot of solid, successive tackles in the middle third for a bit. Looks more like a prop to me...

    Who could it be now?

    Good point - I forgot that part. he really fired up, didn’t he!

    Who could it be now?

    Actually if it’s mongrel we are missing, watch the replay of the Blacktown vs Norths game from Sunday. Cust, Olakauatu, Sipley, even Tuipolotu all fired up and backed each other. Good. To. Watch...

    Who could it be now?

    Yeah I’ve always enjoyed watching when Brown bites off more than he can chew, and gets smashed. Dunno how I’ll go enjoying that if he’s playing for us...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Chooks v Manly [Round 1, 2021]

    This does raise a valid point - why did we only play one trial, compared to others teams who played three - if we still need to trial things?
