    Why have a Grand Final

    The title of this thread actually raises a very interesting point. Namely, aside from the fact that it makes a lot of money, why DO we have a play-off at the end of the season to determine the premiers? Surely the team that finishes top of the table at the end of the season is by definition the...

    The Refs - Bias or Incompetence?

    After my initial reaction of slightly resentful acceptance of last night's performance by the refs, I am finding that the more I have thought about it during the day today, the more angry and suspicious I have become about it. I mean, THAT MANY mistakes and/or clearly and demonstrably WRONG...

    I can't believe that. You actually read the Telegraph? :huh:

    Are Souffs the new grubs of the NRL?

    The NEW grubs? What do you mean? Souths have ALWAYS been grubs. The so-called "Pride of the League" have a very long history of violent, dirty, illegal, intimidatory play. Their much-revered side of the late 60's/early 70's (Sattler, Coote, McCarthy, Sait et al) were in fact one of the most...

    Confusion reigns over Manly Sea Eagles try record

    No, not a messiah or anything else. Just a deeply unhappy supporter who wanted his team back. Remember, in late 1999 and early 2000, the Manly Sea Eagles were GONE. And as far as anyone could tell at the time, they were never coming back. The press certainly took that line, and I remember...

    Confusion reigns over Manly Sea Eagles try record

    I used to do that too! :) I also used to write to people involved with the club, such as Peter Peters, Ian Thomson, Arko etc. and badger them about it, proclaiming the NE a failure and self-righteously haranguing them to bring back the Manly Sea Eagles. I found quite an ally in Arko, in fact...

    Confusion reigns over Manly Sea Eagles try record

    Sorry, but I am with the NRL on this one. As far as I am concerned, I NEVER considered the Northern Eagles to be Manly. I always regarded it as a completely separate entity...in fact I saw it as a hideous aberration, which I resented bitterly for taking away my beloved Sea Eagles. I never...

    Video refs are wearing Red and Green

    Ironic when you think that just a few short years ago, the NRL was moving heaven and earth to kick Souths out of the competition, and fighting Supreme Court cases to try and keep them out. As for them being the "Pride of the League"...don't make me laugh. Over the years there has been no team...

    Rex Mossop 1976: "This has brought the house down."

    Agree with this last part 100%. For me, the maroon "hoops" jersey worn from 1968-75 and again from 1985-92 is THE Manly jersey - definitive. I hope they bring it back someday, and keep it permanently...like forever! :) Wasn't his name Rod Jackson? :huh:

    ARL v Super League War in Drama-Mini Series

    RE: Just a reminder. We are great Ah, yes...the Hunter Mariners. Who remembers them? A club so unwanted, so unloved, so deeply unpopular that they had rocks thrown at the club's head office by Newcastle people in their own town... :)

    ARL v Super League War in Drama-Mini Series

    Quite sobering when you consider that out of those twelve ARL clubs, no less than SEVEN of them are now either extinct, or no longer exist in their original form, having been forced into shotgun marriages (or "joint ventures") that would not have been necessary had the Super League war never...

    ARL v Super League War in Drama-Mini Series

    That was what they told us at the time. However, I heard from several sources within the club that there was considerably more than just a "juicy incentive" coming from News, and in fact some fairly heavy pressure was being placed on certain clubs to amalgamate or die (interestingly enough, it...

    ARL v Super League War in Drama-Mini Series

    RE: Just a reminder. We are great This is going to be a tough assignment for the writers...I mean, HOW are they going to portray Manly as the "bad guys" (as they will undoubtedly want to) when we were just about the only club that behaved with 100% loyalty and integrity throughout the whole...

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review - 15 things I wish the NRL would fix.

    RE: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review I don't think you have your facts quite right here. There was always a provision for extra time in the event of a drawn Grand Final...the 1977 GF between St. George and Parramatta went into extra time (the first time in 70 years it was...

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review - 15 things I wish the NRL would fix.

    RE: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review No, they weren't...they were nearly always played on the same day, and usually at the same TIME. Ch 7 used to broadcast the RL Grand Final, and give the rights to the VFL (as it was then) GF to another broadcaster, usually Ch 10, to cater...

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review - 15 things I wish the NRL would fix.

    RE: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2012 Season Review Agree with most of these points. Many of them seem to be simply undoing changes that should not have been made in the first place. With particular reference to the one about daytime Grand Finals with a 3pm kick-off, it seems that nearly...
