    2007 Premiers - Is It Time For Recognition

    Agreed. In reality Manly probably deserved to win it in 2007 more than Parra did in 2009 but grand finals are funny things, they often don't go as expected. The difference between a finals series and a race is that in a race there are clear and distinct fnishing places as opposed to teams being...

    McIntyre system dumped for 2012

    Top 5 was absolutely better. Minor prem only had to win 1 game to make the GF, anyone else had to beat the minor pre to win the comp. Can't see any flaws in that except the $ generated by 9 games v 6. No matter what system they use, it will always favour out of Sydney sides who actually get...

    McIntyre system dumped for 2012

    I was a massive fan of the ARL/AFL system until recently but decided that I prefered the Macintyre system purely because it best rewards teams 1 and 2. In 2008 we played teams 7, 5 and 1. Under the ARL system it would have been more likely to be 3, 5, 1. In 2011 we got 7, 3, 6 rather than 3, 5...

    You are a true Manly fan when.........

    Unfortunately that could lead to spawning a QLD supporter, not a good idea. Statistics show the result could be a 10% drop in IQ.

    You are a true Manly fan when.........

    I leave for my honeymoon on friday. Scheduled to sit right between the WCC and round 1. Got married the Saturday before the WCC so the WCC sat nicely between the 2 events.

    Manly v Warriors time moved - live on Fox not Nine?

    Only excuse is they'd lose the ratings from the 1955 movie they were planning to air at midday. Great decision for those with Foxtel, absolute rubbish for the rest of us.

    Channel ten want it all

    I would dearly love to see 8 games a week on FTA. If it was on 10 (especially if it was in HD) it would be perfect. Unfortunately Lachlan won't allow Foxtel to take the financial hit for the benefit of 10.

    Toovey on the Grill team

    Drugcastle -> Cronulla (including a short stay in NZ) -> Purple Scum. Nothing more needs to be explained. Thank christ I don't have Fox. I stopped listening to the Grill team when Johns started. His characters are getting old. Reg was good for a while, he just tried too hard after that...

    WCC NOW LIVE on GEM AT 6:45am

    RE: WCC not Live on Nein Sux for those of us who don't have foxtel. Surely 9 should at least have it on GEM or Go. The former will probably have something in black and white that noone will watch anyway. At least then they could televise it in HD.

    Optus wins live sports bid for mobile TV

    The difference between this and just streaming it from the web is that you are recording your own copy and then streaming from your own storage. So the copy you are viewing from your web enabled device is not the same file that is being streamed by someone else. It's like different people...

    Interesting tennis / nrl stat

    In 1977 St George beat Parramatta 22-0 in the GF replay. '77 and '78 were consecutive drawn grand finals, both being followed by a nil scoreline in the replay.

    Optus wins live sports bid for mobile TV

    Basically it's a modern version of the old VCR. Instead of recording to a VHS tape, you record digitally to an online storage service. You can then access what you have recorded from anywhere that has an internet connection, including your phone/tablet. However, unlike the VHS, you can start...

    From Todays Wagga Paper - Les Muir again

    I strongly suspect that photo was taken about 2 weeks after his obituary was published.

    Rugby League books

    I loved Cliffy's book and I also really enjoyed Beaver's book, mainly because it showed a bit about the Sewer League War from the perspective of one of the top players of the time but also because it encompassed the major portion of the time I remember following rugby league (I was 11 when he...

    Currently watching 2008 GF

    Couldn't agree more. That was a phenomenal play given just a 4 point lead at the time. NZ were moving up very quickly on the left side all through the first half and Manly were always going to make them pay but to do it like that was pure genius.

    Currently watching 2008 GF

    The thing about the '08 GF is the nil scoreline. No matter how far in front Manly is, it is always a little deflating seeing the opponents score any points (even in a replay). In 08 it didn't happen so really nothing negative happened in the entire 80 minutes. Having said that, I've watched...

    Daily tele today re Snake and Foz

    My godfather was a Norths reserve grader. But he also played reserve grade for Manly and coached one Steven Menzies at Harbord.

    Another merger(Wests) in possible trouble

    Because it made as much sense as Manly merging with Norths or Souths merging with Easts. They absolutely hate each other and it wouldn't have worked.

    3 non Manly rugby league Xmas wishes for 2012

    1. Dogs and Scum miss the top 14 (don't really care which one gets the spoon) due to most losses rather than salary cap. 2. Career ending injuries to Slater and Smith. 3. DUI Becky to be hit by a drunk driver and realise the error of her ways. Pack her sh!t up and develop some sort of...

    STAT Weeks in the Top8

    Exactly. Even in '09 when they made the GF they scraped into 8th place and only got their in the closing rounds after spending almost the entire season outside the 8.
