Rainbow Jersey Press Conference
Well said Joeboy. If the inclusion and tolerance people really mean what they preach then they will be accommodating to the players. They haven’t gone out of their way to hurt anyone and were placed in an awkward situation by the club. Let’s respect their decision and celebrate inclusivity...- Not Paul Kent

Rainbow Jersey Press Conference
Never thought I’d be talking about this on this forum, but I had to have my say on this matter as a gay life-long Manly supporter. The situation as a whole is regrettable and it does hurt, when your heroes reject you as a person, it’s certainly deflating. However, I respect the decision of the...- Not Paul Kent

Bronco's logjam, a recruitment opportunity?
I think I remember hearing we were in the hunt for both Selwyn Cobbo and Palasia. Both turned us down though. So we are clearly looking there. The player I like is Herbie Farnworth, I think he’d slot in nicely at left centre as an upgrade on Harper. Big fan of Herbie, sign him up Scotty!- Not Paul Kent

Dessie’s Crazy Dutch Auction
Apologies - this may have some cross-over with the dead wood needs to go thread but I thought it possibly deserved its own thread. With Tommy gone for the season it’s probably fair to say we don’t have the fire-power to win the competition this year. Perhaps we should look to the future and...- Not Paul Kent

Is this the week we see some changes?
Media are drumming up Segeyaro being selected this week. Personally I can’t see Des dropping the frog and the long term balance of our bench doesn’t really make sense with all three of Walker, Lawton and Seggy. I personally think it’s worth a shot. Croker has improved to a decent hooker and he...- Not Paul Kent

Dale Copley
Reuben is too good on the wing. Makes yardage and one of the best finishers in the game don’t weaken one position especially when he hasn’t had much success at centre in the limited opportunity he’s had there. I’d really like to see Ben Turbo eased into that left centre spot and regular starter...- Not Paul Kent

Not sure about the validity of the source but some interesting speculation about Koroisau and some comments from his management. Sounds like click bait but at the right price would make sense for us...- Not Paul Kent

Ryan Matterson
Fully prepared to get blasted here but posing the question: with Parramatta shopping around Ryan Matterson is he worth a look? $500k for next year with Parra prepared to tip some in. Matterson is an extremely quality player with an exceptional defensive game, ability to offload, big motor and...- Not Paul Kent

The nutty professor
I think we are kind of saying the same thing. We have more firepower than any team and can score from everywhere on the park and high risk can equal high reward. However if we make those risks more calculated we will have far better results. Conversely to your point the number of errors is...- Not Paul Kent

Disclaimer: If the Manly stats guys are reading I do understand this has been described by Roy Masters who isn’t exactly a Rhodes Scholar and would have bastardised the theories.- Not Paul Kent

The nutty professor
You’re right Mark, another flaw with their conclusion is that the more Possession you have would also be highly positively correlated to what the Manly stats team define as “possessions”. Clearly the Manly stats team have gotten this very wrong, in fact it wouldn’t even pass statistics 101...- Not Paul Kent

The nutty professor
This is a really interesting insight into our tactics, on the basis of Haidar’s analysis we adopted an expansive game plan of maximum use of the ball and based on the above analysis that is a sound tactic. However it’s a flawed ideology. Any statistician worth his salt knows that singular...- Not Paul Kent

The nutty professor
Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I think it highlights our game plan this season. Manly coach, Des Hasler, is rugby league’s last remaining Mad Professor, an endearing sight at press conferences, tie askew and hair uncut and uncombed, in an era where most executives turn up in a...- Not Paul Kent

Thoughts on picking him up to replace Suli? Tall tackle breaking outside back who can play Fullback, Centre and wing. Former Australian Schoolboy who would be great depth.- Not Paul Kent

Aaron Woods ???
I asked the same mate a few more questions. The deal hasn’t been done yet. He’s not being brought in as a replacement for Taupau and is being offered a pretty modest contract to form part of the extended squad, not as a high profile first 17 signing. Woods is a Manly fan and isn’t being...- Not Paul Kent
