    Our 1-7 vs their 1-7

    The above is a good point but I would add one qualification. We were only given two awarded tries the last time we met Souths. The Matai one was, of course, denied by the onfield ref (can't blame the video who then followed the guidelines).

    Tonight's game

    I didn't think the Storm really looked like it since we touched them up

    A bridge too far

    It may be the case of a game too far but I feel better than going into the corresponding game last year (which sadly I saw at the ground). I knew we were limping into that one and the Storm were ready to finish us off (I didn't know how horrible it would be). I don't feel the same this year...

    Manly v Souths

    To me what it shows is how myth over-rides reality. So the only player that Arko actually signed in that list is O'Neil and that was back in the 70s. On morning TV there was another myth developing - that Manly only won because of the dodgy Taufua try - but take that away and we still win by...

    Manly v Souths

    Thurston may have done us a favour with his sookiness. The refs will probably be aware of the conspiracy theory about getting Souths in the GF, so will try not to favour them. BTW I saw Fairfax's Andrew Webster wrote this: "Killing Manly will help Souths delete years of their own pain. For...

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    I actually fancy our chances next week. In a way I was more worried about this game. We will have an extra day's recovery than for this one. We might have back Brett. Our nerves will probably be better after a finals win. Souths I thought were not that impressive in beating (with some friendly...

    Refs

    I wouldn't have give Taufua's but as it wasn't converted at least we can say we still squarely won by the penalty goal Not that I mind I will take a win any way we get it. We have lost a few on tries that shouldn't have been or one's of ours that weren't given

    Late Mail - Snake to miss game?

    I like Hiku but he is not the strike weapon Snake is. I would swap his 300m run last week for Stewart running 10 and either setting up or scoring a try.

    Late Mail - Snake to miss game?

    Definitely worried now but have always been worried about this game. What's the bet Carney plays? Even if he doesn't I have seen some underestimating of the Sharks on this forum. They have beaten both Souths and Easts (or whatever they are now) and we haven't. Their forwards could be the best...

    Life post Snake

    Did Sat night give us a taste of post Stewart? Our backline plays have been largely based around his speed of foot, hands and brain. Hiku is a good prospect and we have many other fine players, but Brett is the class that elevates our team from good to great. We will beat most sides if we play...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - round 26 2013

    Very nicely done and all the better for not knowing how tongue-in-cheek it is. Have enjoyed your summaries all year and hope they continue into the finals

    Gorgeous on 'The Back Page'

    Georgie is a hero to me and I suspect many other ... well ... similarly proportioned males the plus side of 30. He is also a hero for the way he came back from that sickening injury, the way represents the club to the indigenous community, for being a character on and off the field and his...

    Toovey and Kite

    When Hasler left I will admit I was worried. I had probably bought too much into the one man club saviour myth. But of course the truth of the matter is that Hasler did not make Manly, Manly made Hasler. The likes of Toovey and Kite are the sinews of this great club. People used to think...

    2013 Seaeagles VERY underrated

    I'm still buzzed after Saturday's win. Probably our best since the 2011 finals. The recent Moneyball Fairfax article pointed out that the Storm pretty well outspend everyone except maybe the Broncos on their football side, even when not rorting the cap. I have never really regarded them as more...

    Cliff Lyons 1985 to 1999

    Haven't logged on for a while but am loving this reposting of the old player profiles. They are very nicely written. Cliffy to Menzies was one of the great double acts of modern league. I heard this said when he played and I think it still true that Cliffy had a hand in more Manly tries than any...

    We came 4th. Dragons 5th in 2011. Last premiers before that were us in fifth.

    Ummm... didn't we come 1st in 2008?

    Take it away Malcolm Knox

    So are you saying other clubs, including our own, are rorting the cap to the same extent? Is the Storm's only crime that they got caught?

    Be proud!!

    Good post. Probably the worst big game I have seen us play. Worse even than 2007 GF. Somehow we never quite pulled it together this year. Yet the team showed good spirit. We won't go away. I feel positive about our recruiting.

    Cowboys Bleatings - The facts

    I meant I thought Jorge might have dropped it, rather than "grounded" it in our in goal. As for the try, I thought it was a try or at least totally giveable
