    Trial V Sharks

    First time I’ve seen Schuster live and can see why he has all these raps. Very classy player and looked excellent in attack and defence. Keppie a must in the 17 and Guacamole also a standout. Levi did ok and I thought all the back up hookers showed something. If Elliot plays a lot of first grade...

    Pre Game thread: Manly v Sharks [Week 1 Finals, 2019]

    Like most pundits I would expect Cronulla to win this on paper. However, if there’s one team we’ve been able to jag a win against it’s the Sharks. I’ll be going to my first game this year, and after just finding out I’m grouped with Beaver Menzies at Terrey Hills Par 3 course next Wednesday...

    1977 MW NS- Johnny Gibbs the maestro!

    While everyone's favorite player in the 70's growing up was Fulton or Eadie, I fell in love with Gibbsy's blinding acceleration and that inimitable head back running style. Saw him chip and chase twice in one movement to score a try once, I think against Norths in the lower grades. A shame such...

    Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 25, 2018]

    As bad as we have been, the one sided refereeing is typical of this garbage NRL. How many times is someone accidentally hit in the head but it’s always a penalty, except when it’s Manly. Since when is sliding in with the knees accidental? We make a break and they are all offside and we drop the...

    Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 20, 2018]

    Am incensed with the one way refereeing. Penrith being called constantly for hand on the ball, yet not penalised for slowing the play the ball, let alone the strips not called. As soon as we do anything remotely untoward it’s a penalty. We have been poor this year and deserve to be at the lower...

    Pro-Referee thread

    In spite of winning that game fairly comfortably, it again highlighted to me how little feel refs have for the crucial incidents. Leilua should have been binned twice, even if the second one was just for making such a dumb play. Similarly in the Bulldogs Souths clash, Tolman made a legitimate...

    Jake vs Tom

    Well if he is kicking at 90 per cent at training, then that is way better than anyone else, unless Hastings gets a spot, which is unlikely.

    Jake vs Tom

    Just watched Jake beat Tom 3-2 in best of 3 kickoff on nrl.com; adds weight to Jake’s claim as our first choice kicker.

    Goal Kicking Duties for 2018

    Don't know why Jake wouldn't have been tried as the goalkicker in a trial game. Matt Wright is no certainty to be in the team, and is not a top notch kicker anyway. Games are so close these days that kicking can be the difference. Look at how many games Roosters won by a few points last year...

    The new Lewis Brown

    Must say one of the worst buys in my 48 yr history of supporting Manly. I can't believe he is an international, and the sooner we get rid of him the better. No pace, no size, no skill and an arm grabber in defence.

    Concussion replacement on NRL agenda

    I was banging on about this to other supporters last year; when so many players are taken out by foul play, but the only penalty for the offending team is a player on report. More often than not the concussed player has to sit out the rest of the game, and the team then has only 3 on their...

    Barrett on Big Sports Breakfast tomorrow

    Barrett mentioned Wright first when discussing the goal kicking, and said he was kicking really well. With Walker not back till rd4 it seems Wright may play centre and be the goal kicker. However, I would prefer Kelly to be the kicker especially as Wright is only a fill in, and tbh his kicking...

    2017 Rugby League World Cup

    I think it was a loose carry also. However, given it was the last play of the game he should have sent it up as a no try to have the video ref confirm his decision. Doubt it would have been ov

    Joy for Jorge - 2 year extension

    Someone posted Brian Kelly highlights in NSW Origin under 18's, where he kicked 6/6 including 3 from the sideline. Assuming he is a starting centre, then should also be the goal kicker, especially having had a full year's first grade experience under his belt.

    The Moylan Rage

    Talk this morning that Cronulla looking to swap Maloney with Moylan. Do you think we could cajole them into swapping Brown for Moylan?

    Where Manly fell short

    In relation to the Penrith match we were definitely dudded when it came to the try reviews, especially the Walker no try. The fact that the NRL has come out today with technology that they have been trialling with a line across the field,(which wasn't used in adjudicating the try on Saturday)...

    1977 Manly

    Love seeing footage from that era, especially 3 of my favourite players, Johnny Gibbs, Graham Eadie, and Russell Gartner. It was a shame injury curtailed Gibbsy's career as he had blinding acceleration and was thrilling to watch in full flight with the head back and his little legs pumping.

    Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 23, 2016]

    Just want to say how pathetic we are at setting up for field goal. Aside from the poor passes from dummy half, why do our kickers stand to the right of the play the ball when they are all right footed kickers, and wonder why their kicks slew off to the right? DCE would be better off kicking left...

    [Resurrected] Lewis Brown - 'The Utility Belt'

    I haven't posted for ages but after going to the game last night I have to say Lewis Brown is one of the worst buys Manly has ever made. I can't believe someone who can't tackle and has no pace or ball skills could play first grade let alone 11 internationals for NZ! Leary was much better in his...

    2015 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    I watched the Saints v Bulldogs match and cannot believe NSW won last year's Origin with those pair of halves. Hodkinson is a great goal and field goal kicker and can tackle, but his attack is pedestrian and last tackle options are woeful. Reynolds is not much better and is a grub to boot. We...
