    Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 1, 2022]

    We did show resilience given the possession but shows how well Penrith is coached given they don’t have their best player. We are lacking at dummy half badly and Jake doing all the tackling in the middle.

    If Croker can do "THIS" - will be Massive Boost

    If Manly really wanted to up the ante in terms of their spine, they should move DCE to hooker and Foran as the 7 and Schuster 5/8. Croker could come off the bench to relieve DCE and we would be much more threatening around the middle off the park, as well as utilising Schuster’s ability in attack.

    A lot of conjecture .. for no answers

    When I look back at our best win against a decent side, it was the win at Bankwest against Parra when they were flying high. Schuster had a blinder that day, and should be 5/8 next year. I know it won’t happen but DCE at sunny half would give us more potency around the ruck and could still...

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Finals Week 2, 2021]

    Just watched a replay of Roosters Titans; aside from butchering the end of the game, Roosters had most of the crucial decisions. However, my take is they rely heavily on Tedesco and Radley for their points, and if we can show any resolve, the game should be in our hands. I can see why the...

    GF, make your call

    For us to make the GF we have to beat Melbourne on Friday; puts Melbourne in same side of the draw as Penrith, and would give us a great chance to win the comp, especially having the week off as well. If we lose Friday, then I can’t see us making it. Too many hard games to win in succession.

    Other games [Round 24, 2021]

    That can only happen if they lose to Cronulla next week; can’t see that happening, assuming Panthers beat Tigers and Eels.

    Pre-Game Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2021]

    It’s hard to win by 12 when you score zero points

    Annesley's weakly "why this happened" report

    Just watching a replay of the match and it’s beyond belief how Hughes wasn’t penalised and sin binned. He wasn’t even in the frame when Reuben already over the sideline, and he just slid in with the knees and got him in the head. That was 15 to go in the first half, so how different is the...

    Referees have ruined the game. Absolute disgrace

    How does a team that holds down the opposition and always offside concede so few 6 agains? Let alone the other decisions that the dud/corrupt ref came up with.

    Bad mistakes

    Seriously, expected to be bent over, but the way it happens time after time is incredible. If we had the same calls it would have been no contest.

    SOO Game III [2021] - Discussion thread.

    I can’t believe no one has pointed out that Christian Welch touched the ball in an offside position after Turbo’s pass was knocked down by Ponga. Should have been a penalty around 30 metres out and just off centre which Mitchell would have kicked to tie up the game at 20 all.

    Walker, Sironen, Suli

    I think we should stick to the same 17 unless there are injuries; the shape of the defence is much better with Harper’s energy and the communication seems much better. Tapau has been great off the bench and even Croker has done a sterling job plugging the middle. We are obviously relying on...

    Smokin' Joe's glorious juniors thread.....2021 edition.

    Couple of incidents in the last 5 minutes; Manly winger takes the bomb on the full over the try line and is tackled in mid air over and pushed over the sideline in goal. Why is that not a penalty try??? A minute to go and Canberra marker reaches through the ruck to prevent dummy half to pick up...

    Where do we go from here?

    So you are happy to ignore the fact we have won 1 of our past 13 games? Same coach and he had brought in players he wanted for 2021. Even Turbo was there at the back end of last year. I can’t watch this team play, especially when we keep picking the same players.

    I love ya Des, but!

    I didn’t watch the game but the score was what I expected after having watched the trial. As Ryan correctly points out, the performances are mounting to a point where any other coach would be sacked. id rather see us lose with enthusiastic youngsters than the same second rate players that keep...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Chooks v Manly [Round 1, 2021]

    I’m sorry but if Schuster isn’t slotted into the 17 at kickoff then Des needs to come under scrutiny. He is the best junior outside of Turbo in the past decade, and we don’t have the luxury of leaving him out. Anyone who thinks the selected team will get within 20 points of the Roosters is...

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    If we were coming off a strong season, I’d agree that it’s only a trial. But given we nearly got the spoon and the same bad habits are still there, I fear we’re in for another poor year. And yes, I know there was no Foran,DCE, Walker, but as we have no decent hooker and fullback, tell me how we...

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    Agree; since when is Sione Fainu a dummy half? Why not throw Birt on? Schuster and Harper look good but forwards are getting overrun and most of those are our starting pack

    THE CROKER POLL .. THE RESULT UPDATED!

    Look, every Manly supporter wants to see Croker succeed at 9, but nothing he did last year suggests he will be the right fit. I would have thought Cust at least showed he could make a break, and given the amount of times Croker couldn’t even do the simple things right, I fear that having Foran...
