    You want "Guac" with that?

    In my (limited) understanding, “affray“ is basically fighting. Non-specific assault, in others words, so not directed at any particular individual. So, nobody has said “that guy punched me and I want him locked up” but the cops saw him punching on, he was violent and abusive, and got pinged for it.

    Trial observations

    I know I keep banging on about him, but Toff Sipley looked very fit and committed, considering he's been out of the game for effectively 18 months now. Formed a decent combo with Keppie when they were on the field together. Lots more effective than Morgan Boyle anyway. And probably ahead of...

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    All good - except at one point it suddenly jumped back to the start of e game for no reason. Otherwise it was seamless, same experience you’d get with Fox or free to air.

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    I’ve just switched off Fox after a decade...got Kayo now, on NBN. First game live tonight, went off without a hitch. So far, I am a fan!

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    In the words of the great Basil Fawlty...”Let’s hope it’s nothing trivial”... (I don’t really wish ill of the guy, its just a great comedy quote)

    Harry Turbo confirms he won

    I was once sprint-coached by someone who was sprint-coached by that league legend, Shane Wherrett (sp?). Made stuff all difference TBH. Funny though... we all took the piss mercilessly That Wherret was making a living as a coach.

    The Big man Paseka

    I’m thinking T-Sips is looking much, much fitter so far this pre season as well... At a guess he’d be down to 118kg or thereabouts. Could be making a comeback to the top rotation maybe? Personally I’d like to se it. Big unit, never takes a backward step, good offload under pressure.

    Manly Fans Revolt over Ticket Prices

    Adding to that - if you’re cutting off the grassroots support of the club by jacking up prices, where is the next generation going to come from? I used to walk 1.5 hours each way to Brooky when I was a kid, in order to save the $1 bus fare and thus pay the $5 to get in... my passion came from...

    Manly Fans Revolt over Ticket Prices

    I remember when my kids were small about 10-12 years ago, we could get the whole family into GA for $50.

    THE CROKER POLL .. THE RESULT UPDATED!

    The point at keeps coming up here is...”so long as he can tackle all day and deliver a crisp pass, he’ll go ok”. Which reminds us of...who? What’s that? Matt Ballin? Why yes, yes it does! Not saying he’ll do it as well of course, but Ballin made simple, direct, fast and functional Ball-playing...

    Are they the fittest ever, yet?

    To those last two points...DCE alm ost always wins the 2km trial...leading by example! And if I recall correctly, Kieran Foran was always the strongest when considering strength-to-weight ratio (Back in the day). Think he had a 135kg bench, possibly? Edit - found An article from 2016 -...

    [Resurrected] Why does everyone gang up on Watmough?

    Anyone that can negotiate a $900K per year deal for 4 years then turn up busted and get steadily worse for a year before getting paid out (in mysterious circumstances) and thus destabilising the Eels (like they need help) counts as a legend in my book...

    Zorbs this morning

    I had to work with him once, in my capacity as sales manager for their company that published ”Beaver...the biography”. He was a good guy, and very, very clearly a passionate manly man. Towards the end of the hour we spent in a meeting he picked up that I was also a Manly boy, and we then spent...

    That 40-0 GF - favourite moment

    I was there as a guest of my boss - a legend of a guy, big Manly fan and owner of a thriving mid-sized company worth (at that stage) just under $100 million a year. Pretty sure I found myself humping his leg when Beaver went over for that try in front of us...

    Dylan Walker

    16 police witnesses versus the sort of lawyer a salary of $500K can buy...I'm backing the legal process on this one. He'll get a light spanking and sent to bed without any pizza...

    [Resurrected] Saab vs Tuipulotu

    I think we have to be prepared for Des' reluctance to make fast, decisive changes, at least for the first part of the season. Wouldn't be surprised to see experience take precedence over potential for the first rounds - Jorge n Garrick likely to start. Then after Jorge drifts off his wing and...

    Elijah Taylor

    I like the thought of Taylor in our top 30. Decent, hard forward with some skills and a very strong work ethic. Surprised he hasn’t been drafted into another club‘s top 30 roster to be honest. I also recall when he came back from a serious injury, after his first game he took extra time to...

    Interesting Read - Hasler tactics 2021

    I’m guessing it was a weight issue with Tof... he’s a very big unit anyway, and wouldn’t have been able to train for months after the knee injury. Played at 128kg apparently, despite what the website suggests. Guessing he ‘did a Vave’ and came back in the 130-plus range...
