Non-Manly Games [Round 21, 2017]
The majority of players on the field who ran into the fracas obviously knew something was out of kilter, but obviously the guy who knows it all, knows better. Here's to you Phil Gould !- Aussie Battler

Non-Manly Games [Round 21, 2017]
Hard to split the WWE from the NRL these days. Think wrestling has more credibility ! Get the feel good story up and ratings should follow. Personally, i always rooted for George the Animal steel and Tiger Chun Le.- Aussie Battler

Non-Manly Games [Round 21, 2017]
Everything that is wrong in the game just occurred then. Make a legs tackle and put your side at a disadvantage. No wonder guys with an A grade tackling technique like jake are so few and far between.- Aussie Battler

The " out of touch" NRL
It's not you Mark, it's them ! Last year's draw was an absolute farce. Monday nights, 5 day turnarounds, meant last year's season was over before it started. This year, have been able to get the young battler to a few games, and surprise, surprise our performance has improved, due to a draw that...- Aussie Battler

Non-Manly Games [Round 21, 2017]
Whenever you see a story about how tough a guy's upbringing was etc, etc, and that is why he is the way he is, you know that the cold hard facts are that is he is just a goose ! KE you are a goose ! a deadset goose !- Aussie Battler

Non-Manly Games [Round 21, 2017]
No bigger wank#r in the game than Kenny Edwards. Whether pretending to be injured, putting his arm around opposition players pretending to be funny, or just what we saw there, the guy is an 'A' grade fool. The game will sort him out in the next 18 months either officially or unofficially. A...- Aussie Battler

How about Walker
Plays well above his weight and going great guns. Love his enthusiasm and passion, just hope it doesn't get away from him come semi final time if things start going wrong for him, cause i think he could lose it. Didn't really like the send off he gave the young Sharks hooker last week after he...- Aussie Battler

Kelly to lift
Until he settles, gotta take the good with the bad. Yesterday not good and the only game I've been to against the Dragons he was diabolical. That said, there is enough quality in the bloke to persevere. His pass to Walker vs the Roosters got us the two points. Also like the way that despite...- Aussie Battler

How did you become a Manly supporter?
Family is from Williamstown in Melbourne. Right on Port Phillip Bay, the local VFA side was known as the Seagulls, but played (and still do) in blue and gold. Thankfully the first game my dad saw, Manly were wearing the jersey that had the big white bird on it, so that's who he went for. Growing...- Aussie Battler

Why blame hayne
And how much worse will that thinking be if the players association get their wish and get a % of the game's revenue. Highly unlikely there would be any dead rubbers after that.- Aussie Battler

What if you just change the names of the players involved. Can you honestly see Smith being penalised for a similar "hit" on Tedesco?- Aussie Battler

I have never seen a more corrupt game of football in my entire life
Look, I hate james maloney as much as the next man, but what was with the late hit on him by Slater after he through the pass, with a follow through elbow to the neck when he was on the ground. C9 showed the replay, but the commentary just went silent. Switch roles and Maloney's tap on Slater...- Aussie Battler

2017 State of Origin Game 2
Not sure about Fargo, but definitely starting to think there is more to life than rugby league. At a minimum, SOO has to be no more than one game a year, with the aim of getting back to a home and away competition, not the mickey mouse system we currently have.- Aussie Battler

2017 State of Origin Game 2
Was interesting watching On the Couch last night, with Corey Parker saying that stopping Fifita wouldn't be a problem. Called it 100%, saying that Fifita would catch the ball with his first movement being across field. Blocker took the p*ss out of him, showing how little idea he has of the...- Aussie Battler

2017 State of Origin Game 2
The game has all become about penalties and when you get them. Like the 2013 GF (last Manly penalty in the 11th minute), NSW couldn't buy a penalty at crucial times. Contrast the no penalty for Boyd tackling Dugan in his efforts to get to the bomb, compared to the softest of penalties given to...- Aussie Battler

Is Billy Slater better than Brett Stewart?
Must be of the same vintage so would have to agree. Slater and Stewart both lightning quick and with massively good skills, but both didn't have the power game Eadie had. If he didn't run over the top of you, he would completely smash you in defence. Will always remember his hit on a runaway...- Aussie Battler

These quotes from Uate are outstanding and the way he is playing I actually believe he means it !!! "I've got three kids, my wife's settled in Manly. I wake up every morning, look at them going to school with a smile on their face and it puts a smile on my face to go to training every day. "It...- Aussie Battler
