    The Manly CENTRE dilemma is coming...

    Cust is the right call at 6 with Foz out. Clearly Manly are playing two ball players either side of the ruck with Tommy sweeping both sides. If Schuester moved to six we’d lose our shape.

    Manly player coming back from injury!!

    I’ve got Walker as possibly coming onto the bench in Suli’s spot. Can cover the entire back line if someone goes down and he adds some speed. I don’t see Parker getting dropped. He defends well and he does a lot of tough carries in yardage. Des loves him and you can tell the boys enjoy playing...

    Need another prop pronto

    Clearly our strategy is to develop from within. But you still need to purchase quality from outside to win comps. I’m thinking an established first grade front rower added here and now could allow us to better compete against the next tier of teams. We win periods of matches but not the whole...

    Need another prop pronto

    He has played a handful of games. Simple role is best at this stage. He will grow and hopefully continues to develop on the left. Schu needs to explore his running game. Jake is such a quality ball playing middle and his combo with his brother and the captain is silk.

    Need another prop pronto

    Jake had a hand in just about every try movement yesterday. He plays a lot of first receiver and the shape created with DCE and Turbo as options out the back is pure class. We need another genuine thumper up front. Jake will still run over 100m, make 50 tackles and free the others up in attack.

    Need another prop pronto

    With Aloiai out for 12 weeks and no Marty yesterday, clearly we need to secure a front rower from another club pronto. Its been clear in the last 5 weeks of football that if we win the middle we win the game. We went sideways against the Tigers for 30 mins. Blew them off the park as soon as we...

    C. Sironen

    If you’ve played at manly in the last five years and you’re off contract, surely you’re collateral damage.

    Manase Fainu

    I hope for Fainu’s sake he gets off. For Manly’s sake a guilty or not guilty verdict doesn’t matter anymore. It will simply signal a chance to finally move on. One way or another.

    Foran

    No knock on Foz, but spending whatever we are paying him when we have Schuster in the squad and not allocating that money on a proper hooker has so far proven a poor decision. You can bang on about the big 3 hogging the cap and when Tom is out it doesn’t work. But when you go with a big 3 set...

    Assistant coach

    Reality is we all screamed the house down when Baz resigned and wanted manly men only. We appointed Des and he has enlisted Monas & Randall as assistants, given Ballin the reserves and brought Snake in as a skills coach. Des has always been so hands on and his sides have always been so well...

    Manly star Manase Fainu’s drug, depression rehab

    Saab - whinged and sat out at the dragons. Suli - sacked from tigers and dogs. Walker - multiple indiscretions. Manase - multiple indiscretions. Taupau - individual. Have let go blokes like Gutho - champion athlete, real team man. Deadset hit the nail on the head there.

    Manly star Manase Fainu’s drug, depression rehab

    Latu Fainu is a 10 year first grader and will partner Jamie Humphreys in the halves with Schuster ball playing lock. I hope Manase is innocent but blind Freddy can understand the club’s long term vision.

    The Take on Jake

    I watched Jake really closely tonight from the hill. He is a proper elite lock forward. Genuine star. Manly junior and a winner. If you think he’s no good you’re a bad judge.

    Did you see Garrick overchase at marker for Cook’s dummy half barge over try? Score was 14-12 at the time. Laughable. We were right in it at 14-12. Cherry kicked out on the full and it was like someone squeezed all the air out of our balloon. We were on top and winning the middle. Benji takes it...

    If you were cynical you couldn’t help but think the club’s loyalty in Fainu is due to him having exceptionally talented brothers in the juniors. Surely the club is confident of him being found innocent. Otherwise it is an extraordinary leap of faith into the future, to the detriment of the...

    I don’t understand why Koula, Ben Turbo & Manase are in our top 30? Koula is playing SG Ball which is four grades away from first grade. Burbo isn’t considered ready enough to play reserve grade yet and Manase is not allowed to play. Throw a few injuries in and it’s round three and we are barely...

    A common theme - Defence !!

    I reckon the biggest issue with our defence is actually our lack of attack. Sounds ridiculous, but we don’t get any joy up the other end when we get an opportunity. Frustration and pushed passes set in. We lose field position. The opposition grows a leg when they keep turning us away. They...
