    Lachlan Croker ...

    I’m sorry but Croker is not even NSW cup standard. He can’t even throw a decent pass or put a player into a gap. It’s inconceivable he played the whole year in first grade, but it took nearly the whole season for Schuster to show in 65 minutes what skills a 5/8 needs. Unfortunately Croker is...

    So happy to take unders to stay with Souths, when not long ago couldn’t fit within the cap. Obviously nothing to see here, which is why there needs to be more transparency around salaries.

    The Book of Albert

    The difference with Schuster is he played in the trial against Cronulla and showed his class and ability to compete against another first grade team. Yet Des persisted with Croker who is average at best, and even Cust has been too up and down. Hopoate is coming off 2 years of injury which has...

    Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 17, 2020]

    Can we get a goal kicker???

    The Book of Albert

    Couple of times DCE has tried to get it wide and Sironen just dies with the ball. Unless we have Schuster playing 5/8 next year, I can see why Foran is high on our radar.

    Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 16, 2020]

    We have done well to keep it to 8 points given the amount of time Melbourne has spent in our half. The biggest blight is the way Melbourne are allowed to slow the play down and never penalised but we are hammered for less.

    Other NRL games round 16

    Loved watching Parra held to nil, and have to say what a pleasure to watch the way Souths used the ball and how precise their execution in the backline. Compare that to our style and it makes you cringe. Also, can someone explain why it wasn’t a penalty try when Tom Burgess reaches out to score...

    Surrounded by BS on here.

    Unfortunately except for last year, we have been a basket case from the time in 2014 when were primed to win the minor premiership to getting smashed in the semi final against Souths( sound familiar?) I also think we were hoping Des would be the coach we had back in the 2007-2012 era, but is...

    Charlie Staines

    Chronic hamstring injuries? He should fit right in then!

    Charlie Staines

    Seems like he wants the fullback spot, so with Turbo on our books, probably wouldn’t be interested. I do agree would be a great signing as his blinding speed and ability to sniff out a try are second to none. Hopoate may do the same but for which team??

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 13, 2020]

    Sironen and Thompson both out and Sipley added to squad. Okalatu and Waddell new second rowers.

    Who has improved in 2020

    You must be watching a different game if u think Croker has been any good; couldn’t even pop an easy short ball for us to score on the stroke of half time and get us back on the scoreboard. Let alone his rubbish kicks and poor ball handling in other matches.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 13, 2020]

    How do you stay loyal to players when you concede 30-40 points in each of the past 3 losses? What is the point of having talented youngsters if you won’t give them a chance, especially when the tried and true are failing miserably?

    Albert hopoate cleared by specialist

    You can say they are highlights against kids, but how many kids have you seen score 100 metre tries and beating 6 or 7 players to boot. Was also in the NSW origin team with Bradman Best and created a miracle try to win the game. Obviously after 2 knee operations his future is clouded, but surely...

    'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

    Instead of us losing Albert, why don’t we make a play for Will and have the brothers play for us? It’s looking like Gutherson all over again if we lose Albert, especially as his replacement signing is Morgan Harper. If we can’t even keep our talented juniors, what chance we will get a quality...

    2020 Manly Squad

    Saw him in the trial against Cronulla and looked a classy player and not out of place against first graders. Would love to see him run out next weekend.

    This team has not got it!

    Sick of hearing that Schuster and Hopoate are too young; Penrith put in a 19 yr old rookie who scores 4 tries on debut. It’s obvious we need enthusiasm and speed yet we persist with the same mediocre players getting flogged week after week since Turbo went down.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Dragons v Manly [Round 9, 2020]

    Just drove past Kogarah and it’s teeming down. It’s going to be a lottery who wins this.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Dragons v Manly [Round 9, 2020]

    Also fear Dragons given our atrocious record against them the last few years. They have played ok against Roosters and Raiders so will be tough to beat at Kogarah. As others have mentioned, we can defend, but where do our points come from?
