    Does Parker / Suli hold their centre positions ?

    Fair point, but I think you have to look at Schuster’s potential. He looks to be an absolute superstar in the making which you can’t really say of Croker, Cust etc. All decent players in their own right, but Schuster looks to have something special. Having said that, many have had that potential...

    Does Parker / Suli hold their centre positions ?

    I was thinking that very thought. He’s six foot three and 100 kg. Good cover defender, and seems tough. Dunno about front on defence, but he’d make a decent back row.

    Does Parker / Suli hold their centre positions ?

    Schuster into five eighth, Walker back to centres. Hard to say whether Suli or Parker deserve to be cut. They have both been improving a whole lot. Suli has more natural talent, and his pure power is a massive plus. But then Parker is very solid, great defender, tries his guts out and seems very...

    Does Parker / Suli hold their centre positions ?

    Vehemntly denied by him and his manager. Rumour had him going to St George, but his manager said "the only thing accurate in that report was the spelling of his name"... Which I thought was a good comeback.

    Gordon Tallis hands Darius Boyd a brutal reality check

    Very true! I’m surprised he has been a captain actually, has always seemed of very low level maturity...

    Gordon Tallis hands Darius Boyd a brutal reality check

    I should just qualify the above by saying that Ive always disliked Darius, and think he is a complete cat.

    Gordon Tallis hands Darius Boyd a brutal reality check

    I can actually understand Darius’ point of view, on a personal level. I had my family ripped apart at a young age, and now that I have a family of my own I struggle if I’m away for more than about a day. Probably some kind of mental scarring deep down, and I have no idea of Darius’s own issues...

    Ah, must have been a different game I’m thinking about...

    Best and worst Manly game - 1 Rule.....

    That game against the sharks had a mitigating factor though if I recall correctly. Pretty sure two thirds of our team were out with the flu, and half of the remaining side had to play through it. Menzies was one of about four regular first graders that day.

    GreenTurd Gorne as early as this week ... now OFFICIAL

    HE’s just quit!! Hurrah!!!

    Who impressed? And who didn't?

    Also would have been interesting if he had caught that slightly wild pass with about ten to go, when he had only Vunivalu in front of him. 9 out of 10 wingers would end up over the sideline. Jorge...? Easily our best chance to convert that, with his innate power.

    "Des was working his core before blokes knew they had one"

    It's true... I was at the gym yesterday, and exercising next to two young guys in their early 20s, who were doing squats of about 160kg. They were both only about 5'8", but obviously strong. Just the amount of effort a small guy has to use to push that weight, their backs and knees will surely...

    "Des was working his core before blokes knew they had one"

    What a great read! I had missed that until now. I recall an article from him in the Manly Daily - must be 30 years ago - where he discussed a training run he had with Des, in similar conditions. They ran about 12km along the beaches, and while Fatty 'lay down and passed out' at the end of it...

    Daly gives up the grog (for now)

    Speaking of 'setting an example'...during that video interview on the club website with Josh Schuster and Ben Turbo, Schuster goes to some length to explain what a champion bloke DCE is, and how he will give the young guys all the time in the world if they want to ask him anything. The guy takes...

    Workers trial result

    Noticed he is also quite big... 6 foot 2 and 100kg.

    Workers trial result

    Interesting...didn’t he go to the UK at a young age? Loois like he is playing in the halves in those photos, you’re right. edit - nope, I got that wrong. He did his ACL in round one of 2017, then got busted for a second recreational drugs offence and sacked by the Knights. Played in the GF last...

    Paseka Injury

    Plus...no Paseka? Let's get Keppie on the bench. No AFB? Please stand up Tof Sipley! We are well placed for front rowers...spoilt for choice in fact!

    2020 hooker (and Fainu disc.)

    And quickly on Levi’s size - he WAS very small when he first started, but was only like 19 or something. He has a pretty small frame, but is quite muscular these days. Will be able to hold his own. Fainu is a bit of a freak with those carries, when he makes prop-like metres after impact...

    2020 hooker (and Fainu disc.)

    Yeah, was a bit disappointed with Dockar-Clay. Saw him a few times for BWSE last year, and he had hustle...was always trying something, very energetic etc. He looked pedestrian and a bit lost over the weekend. Hopefully just a one-off...
