    Des' selection stubbornness is bordering infuriating

    We are gone from the finals and missing 5 huge players (Turbo, Jurbo, Saab, Keppie, Paseka) so we have NOTHING to lose, yet Des STILL refuses to try any of the young reserves. Seriously what's the point in Croker being made to batter himself for another 80 mins, if we can't use these last 3...

    Poll added - Sea Eagles Everyone in League jersey

    A team filled with Islander boys whose religious beliefs - regardless of whether right or wrong - are very well known. But NOBODY thought to check with them before trumpeting a gay pride jersey? Seriously? Didn't once enter the thought process? That takes the cake for the dumbest piece of...

    No ticker

    Our forwards/bench: Aloioa 7 runs Croker 1 run Keppie 4 runs Olakau-atu 8 runs Bullemor 3 runs Jake 7 runs Walker 6 runs Davey 3 runs Taupau 7 runs Sipley 3 runs Not one of them over 100m, in fact only Ola in the 80's. Yes we only had 40% possession but these numbers are beyond appalling. By...

    Sipley v Lawton - surely it's a no brainer

    Great responses and happily stand well corrected. As I said it was no criticism of Lawton (he's great) just felt sorry for Toff who I think is underused and could wreak havoc in attack, but agree with all the comments, and a very good point that Jake in fact plays prop once Walker dances on...

    Sipley v Lawton - surely it's a no brainer

    Lawton is handy no doubt about it, but if he's only going to get 15-20 mins a game why would you give up a wrecking ball like Sipley? Doesn't make sense to me, surely a bench of Walker-Keppie-Sipley-Paseka would make most teams shudder.

    Whats happened to Cade Cust?

    It's a great question, Cust has tons of ability and would be a real gun in our team, but that said Croker has also done a superb job beyond what any of us imagined was possible. And Walker has also surprised us all with his Benji no.14 role, so it's a very tough one for Cade to even get in the...

    A note to Des Hasler and the management team

    Crikey Mave isn't the whole idea of a Fan Forum to express opinions? That's all I'm doing, so I'd rather constructive responses rather than the 'opinions are like arseholes' comment. As it happens, moments after I uploaded my original post, James Hooper on NRL360 said: 1. Cust MUST be the...

    A note to Des Hasler and the management team

    Many of us here have been die hard Manly fans for a long, long time. In my case 50 years. We've been through enormous highs and naturally the lowest of lows. Thankfully the latter has never lasted and we've recovered as champion clubs do. Des you of course know this as well as anyone given...

    Ambush!!!!

    What with Dylan Walker playing his 4th game ever at FB, a reserve grade 5/8 playing hooker, the worst centres and wingers in the comp who last week let in 7/9 tries on the left edge alone, and a team that missed 40 tackles.... but they're going to beat Souths?

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

    Croker is still the no. 9 after 5 missed tackles and 1 run (yes 1) in 80 mins? Foran, Parker and Garrick are still the left side defence after letting in 7/9 tries? Schuster still can't get a run at all? I'm telling you now it will be Souths by 50 points.

    The absolute honest truth about yesterday... who stays and goes

    YESTERDAY: 1. Walker - Is not a fullback, will never be a fullback, and not surprisingly could not have looked more uncomfortable, summed up sadly by the awfully spilt bomb into touch in the second half. 105 metres just doesn't cut it. If he is selected there again we might as well go and wait...

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

    Oh and Croker starts. Tell me another team he makes it into the top 25 let alone no. 9.

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

    Walker at fullback - what a joke - hasn't played a decent game at centre or 5/8 in years - but he's now considered good enough to measure up to Tedesco Boyle on the bench - despite not being able to scare a boy scout in years Schuster not even in the 17 - the best prospect in many years might as...

    The team that should be selected for rd 1 and why

    Thanks Simmo, as you'll see I agreed with the comments and swapped out Parker for Tuipulotu. I don't see the value of Schuster on the bench though given he only covers 5/8. I realise Foran could in theory go to 9 if Schuster comes on, but that's a huge ask for Foran's already ailing body. Surely...

    The team that should be selected for rd 1 and why

    Fair enough good call guys, happy to switch out Parker with Tuipulotu or Funa. But def NOT with Garrick or Jorge. See updated original thread.

    The team that should be selected for rd 1 and why

    MY STARTING TEAM ROUND 1: 1. Koula - huge talent, needs to be blooded, give him 3-4 games and see how he goes 2. Saab - height and speed are the two vital things we've been badly missing for years 3. Walker - currently the 3rd best 5/8, so it's last chance saloon, I'd give him 3 games max or...

    Manly 2021: Who we need to sign NOW (and who we need to punt)

    CF2 sure is back. This is brilliant and could not be more spot on. Yes - get rid of Walker - time is up - and for those saying hang on it will cost us - you'd think after last years court escape there'd be a 2-3 strikes and out clause in his contract for the recent pizza shop debacle Yes -...

    One important thing Manly must return to for 2019

    Manly's history is maroon jersey and white shorts (or white jersey and maroon shorts). It's time to ditch the all maroon soccer outfit look. Our 2019 home jersey is looking better than ever with much stronger white hoops, it's time to bring back the WHITE shorts to compliment it.
