    Origin 1 - 2024

    I think it was about this time last year I commented that I felt like I'd spent my entire life being let down by the Blues so I didn't get emotionally into Origin any more. Now I can just enjoy the football. Hell give me four or five more Manly premierships in my lifetime and I won't care if...

    Origin 1 - 2024

    A fairly tragic evening for the Blues but on the upside a great one for our own DCE.

    Origin 1 - 2024

    Edwards out for the Blues, shocking bad luck for him.

    All NRL Games [Round 13, 2024]

    Very strange team the Knights. Admittedly I've not seen that much of them, but they seem to have an ability to conjure up occasional unlikely wins, which keeps them higher on the table than they should be. In a different way we seem to be able to conjure up occasional unlikely losses....

    State of Origin Team Predictions

    I would like to feel more enthusiastic about the Blues team but I don't think I do. Maybe they will play out of their skins and make me look silly, hopefully. Think I'd rather see Api starting hooker and Robson providing point of difference punch off the bench, I think SOO is too big a job for...

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    Yes, agree. I suspect we are desperate to slow down the play the ball. I didn't take this exercise past about game 6 or 7 but earlier in the season I checked, and we had only been the faster play the ball team in one game (the loss to Parra I believe). Note that Reuben also rates high for...

    Arthur Sacked- Barrett now in charge of Eels

    No. Effing. Way. I cannot believe it. Were we not making jokes about this idea only about a fortnight ago? Parra: T-Baz, only you can save us now!

    [Resurrected] Penn reveals emotionaly draining rebuild

    LOL sounds a bit like another episode of that all-time favourite The Rich Do It The Hardest Of All. Poor Mr Penn how he suffers.

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]

    I have no pleasure saying this but I fair dinkum think We. Are. Doomed. Our two finest BWSE wingers, Talau pushed to centre - against the Brisbane backline? Lawton starting at hooker again? Another "Magic Round" ****circus.

    Our season could be over this weekend

    I really do expect to be out of the 8 this weekend. Broncos not playing that well but we're playing worse, disturbed by key player losses and it is that "Magic Round" that I hate so much. My hopes are not high. But we might manage to creep back in over a few weeks. However if we lose 2 or 3...

    State of Origin Team Predictions

    God Mitchell and Brooks fulfilled those old Tigers dreams and make it to Origin at last, imagine that.

    State of Origin Team Predictions

    At this rate young Brooksy might end up as NSW half-back, I don't know who else there is with some experience and some form?

    Sharkies score a spectacular one through Talaki! Kudos to the initial runner, he did an outstanding job (watching on mute).

    Garrick or Koula for No 1

    I probably more favour Koula at FB, because I think the team balance might be a little better. If he is FB then I think the wingers should be Talau and Garrick, no knock against Garrick but I think Koula will need the support of steady wingers and Talau and Garrick provide that much more than...

    That "Empty" feeling

    I don't get wound up about games and results any more, it is just bad for the mentality and the body and not justified considering the actual quality of our team. We still might just about creep into the 8 but this is not an 80 minute side. The really good teams can hurt you with the ball...

    Who should coach us

    What we have is a lot of points of talent but simply not an 80 minute side. What we need is a coach who will put some steel into the side.

    2024 Optimist/Pessimist Thread - How are you feeling?

    On our roster if we don't get into the top 8 there really should be an inquiry, that would be a startling underperformance. At the same time, I think Origin period will be a particular problem for us and in general we just don't have the focus and consistency to make a really big impact. 6 - 8...
