    Cliff Lyons is a legend and Harrigan an was.

    Franky Stokes was on the wing that day wasn't he? Legend ! I can remember Graham Lowe blubbering like a complete fool at the press conference saying how proud he was of 'em and all. If he was a real Manly man he would have been giving it to Harrigan like there was no tomorrow and demanding an...

    Grand Final Entertainment (AKA: 'The SSM Debate Thread')

    One of the best pieces of entertainment I ever saw, was at the lunch break at the boxing day test match about 35 years ago. They had a dog who would sprint for 100 metres, leap and catch a frisbee. At the end of the lunch break, the dog was buggered, but 100,000 people stood as one and gave that...

    The Joel Thompson Thread (Any Off-topic discussion will be deleted)

    When I looked at where Saints were going to score points against us this year I kept on thinking about Thompson. Of course they went on to score close to 100 against us in 2 games, so I most probably should have been a bit broader in my thinking. Massive signing but if true.

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    My God !!! How good ! I remember my family was one of the first in Fairfield to get one of these beauties. To edit ads on your recordings it came with a switch on a long cord that you flicked on and off during the ad break. One of the first things we ever recorded was the 1981 GF. I forgot to...

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    Just did my own research. 2 each. Us in 82 and 83. Dark side in 80 and 86. Our for and against in both wins +35 compared to them +19, so effectively another win.

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    Not that it is important, but did we win more of those midweek comp things as well. Can remember being at Leichardt oval around 1980 when we beat Newtown. Paul McCabe ran out and kicked a Manly supporter ball up to me in about the 5th last row of the Latcham Robinson stand, that was going to...

    Sterlo moves back to Nine

    I thought Sterlo's interviews with people from his own era (John Peard, John Farragher, Terry Lamb etc) were exceptional, but how in the name of God you could except a show to be successful with Ennis, Parker, Blocker, Hooper etc is beyond me. Surely someone was setting him up for a fall or...

    On this day in history

    Apologies. Was it '78 ? Doesn't matter,all my memories (obviously not that good) of the SCG was from the Sheridan stand. 75/76 series against the Windies reminds me of a time when I actually had some interest in cricket.

    On this day in history

    Sheridan stand brings back such great memories for me, no more than the Leagueathon of 1977. Three games of footy at the SCG, with Manly the second game vs Parramatta. Must of been around April as my dad took me there for my birthday. As was the way back then, my dad just left me on the steps of...

    Remind Me - Thurston Calling Match Official Cheats

    To be fair , Thurston did not attack the integrity of the officials. Rather he attacked the whole integrity of the game and all who had gone before him. Rather than just say the refs sucked, he said everyone associated with the game sucked, therefore no fine could apply.

    The Green/DCE combo

    I thought Green was really good for us this year. He had the ball in his hands much more than DCE, even though DCE is on mega bucks. I liken it to when DCE was killing it , when (I hate to say it), Foz was his foil. I love DCE as a player and I thought his leadership both on and off the field...

    Is it bad that I'm going for Parra?

    Whenever Manly get knocked out, I always revert to going for the Storm. Yes I hate their guts, but if Manly can't win, then I don't want any "true" rugby league supporter to get any joy either. I actually do not know of any Melbourne supporter, except for maybe a few disgruntled Bears followers...

    Walker was not offside

    Could not agree more. I have been shot down at the pub tonight as a bad loser, but I cannot think of any other game in the world where a turnaround in a result from one week to the next could occur. The only thing I can put it down to is referee's interpretations and that is not blaming them ...

    Up with the Worst Effort ever

    Maybe not the worst, but would be in the top ten. That loss under Tooves reign, that had overtones of match fixing against Parramatta would be up there along with a big thrashing from Penrith about 12 years ago.

    Laughing and giggling after a loss

    Same goes for patting your team mate on the back when he makes a stupid mistake. Yell abuse at him like Ridge , Hill, Tooves etc used to do in the nineties and take some accountability.

    Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2017]

    Today was terrible, but FFS does the offside penalty still exist in the game. Teams are able to strangle the life out of games.

    Non-Manly Games [Round 24, 2017]

    Should go back to the Super League days, when they put the whole crowd in a 15m x 15m square area, gave them some crap Adelaide Rams flags and that was their go-to shot if anything remotely interesting happened. Never did.

    Non-Manly Games [Round 23, 2017]

    Don't care either way, but if one side is going to win, would like it by a cricket score. That way either the fraud Maguire or $$$ Des will be squirming at the presser, which will be good viewing.
