    Channel 9 puts ratings before Sea Eagles

    The irony is for once the Broncos don't get the Friday match, when really they should. Yes a little unfair on The Cowboys but they aren't travelling. OK, so our reward for finishing second is a shorter turn-around after a long trip and to virtually play in our opponent's backyard. Still in...

    in the State of Brookvale

    RE: Something's Rotten in the State of Brookvale Let me weigh in with a few positives from the game: We staged a comeback win without both first choice dummy half and back-up. Just about any team would struggle to do this. Watmough burst through with a bit of footwork, something we haven't...

    in the State of Brookvale

    RE: Something's Rotten in the State of Brookvale We were far too soft up the middle early on. That concerns me more than the errors, which hopefully can be rectified. To be fair we were missing our starting prop but Penrith had a lot more out injured/suspended. The suggestion of "rope-a-dope"...

    Season Over For Gifty

    Very disappointing. A Manly great certainly and someone who has conducted himself in exemplary fashion publicly amid all the fallout of his leaving. Besides his ball playing abilities it is a shame we won't see any more of his old school uncompromising defence in our colours again.

    Another perspective on our loss

    I have to sadly agree with the general thrust - we were dominated in both forwards and backs in the second half. Perhaps realising they were sleep walking to the end of their season at half time, Parra kicked it up a gear and we couldn't follow suit. It's a long season and teams go off the...

    Manly v Eels [Round 24 2014]

    Two Manly juniors lining up against us, and one other ex-Sea Eagle. Doesn't seem right, we're meant to take their players.

    Cracks starting to appear for Souths

    Hopefully by the time semis roll around their whole squad will be suspended for illegal wrestles

    Nein News Tonight.

    Their was a petulance to both comments, although Watmough's was worse. Of course that is what Ch 9 want but the players are to blame for giving it to them. I would love to move on but it seems the festering resentment in the club keeps surfacing in ways that don't make me feel very sympathetic...

    Overall it's a pretty small incident but it's still childish and churlish behaviour from two senior players. I would say to both of them that such actions can only tarnish their legacy at the club and that would be a great shame beyond whatever tiff they are having with management.

    Manly vs Rabbids [Round 22 2014]

    Seems to me as a supporter in southern exile that there is a bit of buzz about this game. It really is more fun when we play a traditional rival like Souths in a big match then a jumped up marketing exercise like the Storm. Pity it is not the Sunday arvo match, which would probably get a better...

    Manly vs Rabbids [Round 22 2014]

    I was there for the 2006 Parramatta game where we pipped them by a point (despite the fact that arguably they were slightly the better side that day). Excellent day, excellent win.

    Manly vs Rabbids [Round 22 2014]

    I appreciate Horo's honesty in saying they were rolled by the Tiges' forwards but I wouldn't say that is the only time this year. Definitely we were rolled by the Bulldogs (who admittedly seemed to play about 15 forwards during that match). Thankfully I missed the loss to Brisbane but I daresay...

    Next week v Rabbitohs?

    Effectively winning this puts one hand on the minor premiership, and though I know that's not the main game, it's about time we got one of those again. The question is are they better than last year? Without having seen much of them (only watch Manly mostly) it seems their outside backs are...

    That last Papalii try was depressingly bad defence.

    Manly vs Warriors [Round 20 2014]

    Watched the replay of this yesterday. How tough is Foran? He went flying after the mutual shoulder charge with mini-dump truck Hurrell but it was Hurrell who had trouble getting up. Perhaps it's a coincidence but Hurrell had been monstering us up until that point but afterwards he was only...

    Supposed "Crisis at Manly" Megathread

    I am afraid this is not a "supposed" crisis. It is the real thing. The most chilling line I think from the article was this "Whether or not that (the salary cap) was the reason Glenn was forced out I am not so sure." That shows to me a very deep distrust in the club

    To the legends from the fans.

    I had hoped all the players involved would be Manly for their careers but realistically the salary cap was always working against that. I have no real idea of the ins and outs of this issue other than what is reported but I would say to those thinking of leaving that other Manly men have done...

    Supposed "Crisis at Manly" Megathread

    From what I have read (with no inside info) I get the impression that the board schism is finally filtering down to the players. It is perhaps remarkable that the team remained insulated from it for so long.

    NSW & Holden Cups - Round 19 Team Lists, Info & Results etc.

    The highlights video of the reggies game is up on the NSWRL website. http://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2014/07/23/mounties_v_sea_eagles_vb_nsw_cup_rd_19.html It does give a sense of the gulf between that and first grade. There are some easy runs through the middle for tries from both sides. One of...

    Glenn Stewart return

    Assuming we get our plan A backrow of Stewart, Watmough and Horo together that leaves Buhrer, Symonds, Lui, King and JSL tussling for a bench spot (assuming that's the pecking order above Hasson and Andrews). Who would drop out? I'd probably say Lui even though he has been pretty consistent.
