    Steve Matai warns Sea Eagles could fly coup if Glenn Stewart leaves

    I think this nails it. Coaches talk about a "window" to win a premiership, usually 2-3 years. We've had a 7 year window, and that is not achieved just by replacing players as they move on. Its developed over a long time within a core group of very, very good players, who have accepted unders to...

    Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed

    I put the replay on earlier tonight for the first time and only made it to half time. Its a disgrace. Further to the Horo/WH incident, the referees advised they penalised Manly for holding down for too long. Crap. They didn't blow the whistle until after Hargraeves dropped the ball, not while...

    OK. I was being diplomatic. He is.

    Hayne and Cummins Grand Final Match Performance

    I can see why you're saying that. But I'll stop short of calling him a cheat. I think he's more from the Harrigan school if refereeing where he imposes himself on the game. By that, I mean he he considers what he thinks the result should be, and referees accordingly. SBW being dominated...

    Hayne and Cummins Grand Final Match Performance

    What would like to know is, who judges the referees' performances? Given that Anderson's job depends in favourable reviews, then I hope it's not him. I was driving to Sydney for the game yesterday afternoon and they interviewed him. He was all jovial, everybody's mate, and actually had the...

    Matai No Try

    My gut feeling is that the vidoe refs wanted to award it. But due to Perenara not having the courage to assume that some part of the ball touched the ground, they had no choice. We really need to show displeasure on the field at these rubbish calls. Its the only way to put pressure on them...

    Ca't beat penalties

    Like all of us, I love Jamie Lyon ( as a player, of course). But is he too laid back for captain? There is more to captaincy than just leading by example. Take Ennis for example. As soon as he perceives that the Bulldogs are getting a raw deal, he gets in the referees face, pointing out...

    Footy Nightmare Confession!!

    Normally in deciding who to support when Manly's out, I would start with something along the lines of "hmmm, a Super League scum, salary cap cheating team versus a Super Lea...". No joy there. Although it leaves a sour taste, I'll be supporting the Storm. I have met a few of their...

    Goodnight and good luck TRex.

    RE: Trex tonight This. I cannot bring myself to support either of the two super league scum salary cap cheating teams left.

    Thank god he's gone

    That was a rubbish performance. But you taking the opportunity to push your agenda against stewy is worse. He along with Lyon are two who could hold their heads up tonight.

    Manly Vs Cowboys

    Geez, I didn't think the Cowboys were that impressive. Firstly, they played the worst Brisbane team in years, a team that only just limped into the 8. The bulk of their tries were off Brisbane errors and/or kicks, and lastly, when Brisbane finally played some cohesive footy, they were able to...

    Positives and negatives out of the game

    Someone said it earlier in another thread that its very hard to win something like nine in a row to win the comp. Human nature and the football gods dictate that there's got to be one poor performance in that many games. So its much better to put that performance in in a game where we have a...

    Dessie's Diving Doggies

    There's a saying from an excellent movie, From Dusk Till Dawn. It goes something along the lines of "Are you such a loser, that you don't know when you've won?". Why don't you just rack off and enjoy the win with your Kennel mates. I know when we've won, I've got no interest at all in other...

    Tony Toni Tone

    T-Rex is never going to be a consistently high performer week in, week out. He's not wired that way. I have an opinion on why I think that is, but it's too late tonight to go into that. He is one of those who will play a blinder every few weeks. He showed glimpses tonight, but I'm willing to bet...

    To doggies supporters

    Umm, I think some are missing the point. Whether we showed guts and determination or otherwise, it's another two points we'll never get back. What if next week we play well again, but lose? We need the competition points, and nothing more.

    Jamie Lyon says defectors have left Geoff Toovey high and dry

    LOL - this from a supporter of proven salary cap cheats. Don't come here commenting on the morals of someone else. Hypocrite.

    Most memorable Manly game in your lifetime

    1976 Grand Final. I watched it at a mate's place. We were only young kids at the time, but it cemented a friendship which has lasted to this day 1978 Final v Wests. My parents were at a wedding and I watched it at my grandmother's. I remember Wombat jumping in the air after he kicked a vital...

    Greatest Ever Manly Team 2006

    Gotta support Bob re the Wombat. I grew up watching him and to me, what makes a great player are the multiple incidents that stick in your mind, even 30 years later. Some of these are: - getting underneath Ron Hilditch to prevent a try in the 1976 grand final when he was being propelled over...
