Aaron woods
Don't know about that. On tonight's performance we'd be better off with him on the field. Did you see him and Fifita wandering around in no-mans land for the last Qld try. No effort whatsoever.- EagleGT

Blow up the bunker
And that would be fine if it was true, but it's clearly not. You can see DWZ's hand come onto the ball after Blake has already touched it.- EagleGT

One Penalty to the Opposition Every 5 minutes 42 seconds
Phi Gould: "The referees are told to give 16 penalties a game, that’s their marker, that’ their KPI,’’ he told Peter Sterling and James Bracey after the match. Eight-all, nine-seven, that’s their KPI, that’s what they look for. You’ve got to be really bad to concede more than that or to get...- EagleGT

One Penalty to the Opposition Every 5 minutes 42 seconds
14 is a lot of penalties in the modern game. Were Manly so bad and the Panthers so disciplined? Extremely doubtful in my opinion. When contested scrums were removed from the game (basically because fans were sick of referees deciding matches based on scrum penalties), the number of penalties...- EagleGT

The passing of Wally O'Connell.
Heard Arko on Talkin' Sport yesterday. Described Wally as the best defender he has ever seen. Said that no-one ever got past him. Terry Randall was the hardest hitter ever, but Wally was the best overall defender. RIP.- EagleGT

Offence Defence Stats
Agree. Teams who win comps generally have stable line ups and use low numbers of players throughout the season. Not saying we will win the comp this year but this is a good sign, particularly after the injury woes of the past few years.- EagleGT

Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 14, 2017]
Last week when Croker moved the kick in closer to the posts actually reminded me of this match, because the opposite happened to Manly. You may recall we were down 16-0 but came back to be 16-all. The try to equalise was scored by Cheyse Blair about 10m in from touch. A "melee" followed the...- EagleGT

Tomorrow's Paper
Well, everyone knows what the headlines will be tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Stuff 'em I say. We all know the only reason Newcastle were in the game: penalty after penalty until they scored. As usual the refs did their best to sway the result. Yet another home game with a lost...- EagleGT

Doorman Vs Frogs eyes, 100m sprint.
From Wikipedia "Johnny Bliss wasn't just a rugby league player though. He was also a highly successful beach sprint champion. He won an amazing 12 Australian championships in a row from 1939 to 1952. A record that may never be equalled or broken and he even attempted a comeback at the age of 38...- EagleGT

More media gossip
In terms of the off contract back rowers I'd take a look at Sitaleki Akauola. Getting bigger and better every season and wouldn't be on huge money. Runs the ball like a maniac and gives the Panthers good go forward coming off the bench.- EagleGT

Vale Glenn Thorpe
Picture of the 1954 Reserve Grade Premiers. This was the first Manly team to win a premiership in any grade. Glenn Thorpe is top row, far right. Many of these players went on to play first grade.- EagleGT
