    Manly v Des.

    I think you may have a short memory Swoop, as Manly certainly doesn’t fit the mould you are referring to, when he first was in charge. If Des thinks he has a case, then he’s entitled to sue, just as everyone is who believes they were wrongfully dismissed. Whether any of us agree with it or not...

    Rugby league broadcaster Barry Ross passes away

    Rex and Barry were great TV viewing in the 70's. Rex gave Barry heaps and so much crap went down with Rex, because most of the Channel 7 production team couldn't stand him. I am certain the set collapsing on him was a set up, however, I can't be sure, whereas, I do know the Sound Manager...

    2023 Pacific Championship

    It's all just about the money from and administrator's viewpoint, however, I am sure the guys love being selected to represent their nation and it's a sense of pride and it looks good on their resume when looking for a pay rise. As for PNG as the next team, it has to be so, as it's their...

    Woods Stayski

    That’s a good perspective, however, who do you have in mind? We have lost four of our junior props with apparently massive potential. I understand Des, has a philosophy that if you think you have enough props, sign another one, and while some may say Des is past it, just look at prop injuries...

    Well, that’s the first positive post I’ve seen for Shu in a long time, and congrats for your insight. We have to remember that Shu seriously

    Forwards

    Seibold obviously has a strategy he is designing for 2024 and it involves lots of ball players and speed out wide. I have been really impressed with Saab in the last few weeks, with his ability to set up Koula and Garrick with his offloads (flick passes), while beating a defensive player on the...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Tuilagi has certainly offered much more of late. I doubt we’d replace Haumole, however, with Burbo now fit, he’ll know he’s only on for around 40 minutes in 20 minute bursts, so can give his all (hopefully).

    Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic

    Burbo and Schuster know each other’s games back to front, from their junior days together, and Burbo made plenty of breaks and scored quite a few tries from Schuster’s sleight of hand. Hopefully more this weekend!

    Assistant Coach after Flanno

    As much as it sounds crazy, I’d go with Hook. I thought Holbrook, however, I think he’d want to much control. Hook would be good, because the players would respect he has been around for years. He is liked by players and he has actually had success (except Dragons - but even they like and...

    [Resurrected] Gordon Chan Kum Tong

    I think Humphries is definitely the plan, maybe not next year, however, certainly 2025. You don’t move a quality half into No9 unless there is a definite plan. GCKT is with Tartak and I think it may be 👋 bye bye, even though he has his new contract next year. Off to Tigers. I think Haumole is...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Statistics can make anything you like look good or bad, depending on further analysis. It’s not the missed tackle statistics that really make a difference, but rather what happened as a result of the missed tackle. Was it a missed tackle inside the opponent’s 10m line, which had no impact on a...

    Fainu Bros sign with Tigers.

    There’s no way the two Fainu’s are worth $4mill over 4 years, however, it’s likely to be heavily backloaded and the Tigers are hoping in 2 or 3 years they’ll get value. Both were in our Top 30, so that opens up a space for Lodge and maybe a good backline replacement. I wouldn’t be surprised if...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Schuster was pretty ordinary tonight in my opinion. Mind you, Manly’s ability to create try scoring opportunists was really ordinary.

    Optimist/Pessimist pulse .. UPDATE

    This season is so close between teams, that on any day, any team can beat another, and strange things happen, where, on their day, the last team can beat the top team. Injuries are, and always will be, the major influence to most team's success during a season (apart from a bad roster). If we...

    Samuela Fainu

    I have absolutely no idea what is going on with the Fainu brothers and the club, however, I am sure there is a strategic plan there somewhere. Maybe next week (as per Mark). Arthur has been signed as a half, however, there are rumours of him to lock (he’ll need to put on weight!). Humphries...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    It’s a shame Weekes hasn’t blossomed like I thought he may have. He certainly has talent, and despite some good pre season form, he just isn’t ‘cutting it’ at the moment. I note the club rested almost all of the Top 30 last weekend, including development players. I know they had the week off...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    I don’t think Fifita or Tino will move south, so I think it’s the Dolphins. Personally, I think they’ll stay at Titans, as Des is a good man manager, and he’ll be on the phone. Realistically, a close competition is a great competition and while the Dragons, Tiger and Bulldogs are struggling...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    Rumour today in the Telecrap that a certain club is sniffing around Holbrook, in the hope of maybe picking up Fifita and Tino. It couldn’t be Manly, as we have no cap space apparently. It’s more likely the Dragons, Dolphins, Bulldogs or Eels. Chooks may have space as well!!!

    I'm happy with Woods being at Manly, because he wants to be at Manly and its always been his dream. A guy who comes to watch Manly play, because he's always supported the club, when he's p[aying for another team, says it all for me. Passion! Woods maynot not set the forest on fire, however, he...
