    Twent Barrett - Worst coach in history?

    The coach who cut gutho, hynes, ramien, garner from manly

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    They were from those well known eastern suburbs of Innisfail, wauchope and warialda.

    Latu Fainu

    Tigers paid grown-up money to latu, feledy etc. promising teenagers not ready for first grade, and now they’re upset? And the now mature Talau is performing well at manly. Crazy bad management at tigers.

    Lehi Hopoate

    He’s not your typical big bopping hoppa, he’s skinny and smooth in his play. He’s more a ridge type of player, not an eadie, turbo or Stewart. Really interesting set of skills, unhurried. He will only get bigger and better.

    Would you be unhappy to see The Bunker scraped?

    Would scraping it achieve anything? But seriously, no it shouldn't be scrapped. It mostly gets it right. It was absurd in the pre-bunker days when there were clear shots of legitimate tries being disallowed, or tries being awarded that shouldn't have been etc - yet the tech wasn't being used by...

    Demetriou Sacked!

    Agreed. However it amazes me that S Burgess is continually referred to with respect in the game. The intimidation, coercive control, DV & drugs seem to have been swept under the carpet.

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    My impression is that cotric always gets tries against manly. I would prefer the other Mr bean-like bloke was selected, Schiller

    Risky NRL training cultures

    Man it looks insane, but yeah each to his own. I guess I appreciate why people want to test themselves, but I go more for mental challenges eg memorising Shakespeare

    Risky NRL training cultures

    I don't think either case passes the pub test - wrestling 30 blokes, and pushing players to the limit without water both seem crazy. Writing them off as snowflakes is unreasonable.

    Risky NRL training cultures

    Barrett / Cartwright coaching team that year. Who was the trainer? Ferris? Lloyd had a memorable cameo off the bench in the flogging of parra that year. A player with good skills, pity he had such a setback.

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    Ricky has named a much better team this week. The 12 year old fullback gone, replaced by Hoppa. Cotric, Guler and Whitehead back.

    Haumole gone, DCE resurrected

    I think that report is wrong. Grade 2 is 2 game suspension if early guilty plea. Grade 1 is a fine and no suspension.

    Paul Kent in trouble again

    I hope the police charge that bloke with a dangerous throw. Kent landed on his head, and it looked deliberate. If Chez and Haumole get a grade 2, surely the Kent one is a grade 3?

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

    Lots of injuries for Ricky, but his selection and tactics were very poor. Was hoppa 18th man? He was in a jersey and boots with a parka on. Ricky has the 18 year old sg ball fullback out there getting smashed. Weekes, hoppa and savage would all be better fullback options. Worst game ever from...

    Haumole gone, DCE resurrected

    If manly is serious they should make this a defamation case, engaging Sue chrysanthemum SC. It’s about reputation, and we all know Shaun Line can’t be trusted. Get an injunction suspending the competition until the defamation case is heard, likely in about 18 months. That would show the NRL.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    How about the eel sanders? Good debut, and they have already mismanaged his career! Off to Canberra next year. Classic eels junior management, their fans will be blowing up!

    Terry Hill RIP

    Beaver might have as many try assists as tries. He should be an immortal.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    Really enjoyed the game, I was upset in the first half, but loved the turnaround. Good teams can do this. Reading this thread it seems most people are full of angst about the performance. I’m not, parra were always going to bounce back and they are now used to not having Moses. I knew it would...
