    Turning Up.

    Throughout the season it has become obvious to me that week in week out there are players that have put their heart and soul in their perfomances. Farrar. Robbo. Lyon. Matai. Foran. King. Kite. Ballin. Rodney. You know when Manly run on the park each week that these players are going to play...

    In Lyon we trust

    Yer, the back end rounds of the 2008 season was where Lyon really seemed to make his mark playing at 5/8. I still believe that he is one of the best 5/8's in the comp as well as one of the best centres. He seems to have a calming influence on the team, which seems to get the best out of the rest...

    In the running for Blake Ferguson

    Why would we be in the running for Blake Ferguson? if we are, why didn't we usse the money to sign up Hodkinson??

    dont buy it

    That is quite disrespectful to a boke who has totally transformed this club from a broke, run down team who couldn't win a game. To a team that is one of the powerhouses in the NRL, who have reached the semi finals in the past 5 seasons, made 2 grand finals, won a premiership and created a very...

    Des doesn't understand his job = major problem

    The reason he is so loyal is that there is no one to replace the starting 17 ( probably besides Matt Cross). Every week Des picks the best 17 players in the club. But realistically, who is going to perform better than the players who get picked every week?

    Changes.

    I really think it's time to make a few minor adjustments to get this team motivated and firing again. Perry has to go, or at least be demoted to the bench. Cross has to come into the side. As posted on the other thread, he has shown passion in the jersey, where some players obviously haven't...

    Phil Gould Prediction

    remember this time last year, we were in a similar position to where we are now. We were 2nd favourites to win the comp and were sitting in about 6th position. Last year was a lesson that you have to finish in the top 4 to have a chance. As a first round semi final loss, can often mean an early...

    For and Against

    I just did the NRL finals calculator and i had teams 2-7 all finishing on 30 points :O For and against is going to be extremely crucial to the end placings IMO. So even though a win is great for Manly we need to keep winning comfortably. ;D

    Knights sound out Farrar for return to home club

    This is the negative side to winning a premiership as we did in 08. All the players who played in 08, their wages all increased by quite a lot, when signing for their next contract. e.g wolfman, robbo, stewarts. Because of this we seeming to not have enough money to keep players such as Farrar...

    couldn't be happier - but Matai?

    Trouble is, if we do keep all of these players. the players around them won't be much chop.

    Williams and Ballin

    Tony Williams has improved out of sight since he started with us last year. If he keeps improving at the rate he has been, he is going to be a very very good player when he matures.

    I Hate The Tigers!

    definetley up there with Melbourne as my most hated team. the Matai - Farah incident made me soo angry. Fulton, Gibbs, Farah and Galloway are complete grubs. So glad we flogged them!

    Chris Bailey

    It's because our starting second rowers are able to play long minutes. Our front row gets rotated nicely. And if the back row are doing they're job, why interchange them??

    More on Matai

    If i remember correctly when we signed Bailey as our long term five eighth in 2008, there were quite a few clubs chasing him and he was demanding a fair amount of money. If he was to be released then it would free up a fair bit of room in our cap.

    massive turning point and no excuses this time

    Confidence is the key to good performances. Manly has absolutley zilch at the moment. I think the players know that they are one of the best sides in the comp, thery're just struggling at the moment. Individuals out of form doesn't help the side either. e.g Hodkinson, Stewart. But by the...

    Barrett out

    That's a massive blow to their attacking capabilities. I'm confident of a Manly win now and probably a touch up as well

    A Gallop quote I agree with

    Gallop has said that he feels that the players would have to have known about the breaching of the caps, with them signing two serperate contracts as well as receiving other "donations". I woud've loved to have seen Cameron Smith and Billy Slater go down.  The way the storm players feel like...

    My 2c worth

    Agree with many of your points. Correct me if i am wrong but is Graeme Lowe only signed up for 12 months? If so, he seems to be a stop gap solution? He has done his job as he was appointed to do. He is the kind of person that Manly has needed to restore so called "peace" between the Delmage and...

    Kris Keating

    Yes. Roberts is a good player with an experienced half along side him. I remember last year he was playing some great football with Kimmorley. But next to an inexperinced halfback such as Foran, he seems to choke.
