    Trial V Panthers

    What was so evident in the game was our failure to control the ruck and play the ball speed, we were lapped in that space and the penalties and six agains conceded were a result of that. Penrith play the same way all through their grades, they are very disciplined and strangle you through field...

    Trial V Panthers

    Penrith have a winning culture all through their club, this might be a 3rd string team but their play is identical to their first grade. Manly plodding along committing every error on the spin. Thank goodness its only a trial, its obvious that this team still struggles in the wet and they must...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    The boy is damaged. He needs support and I am not sure he is getting it. Prodigious talent who has not been able to maintain the fitness needed to excel at the top. I cannot remember the last time I saw him smile on the field and his last 3 years at Manly were so poor. The boy is a free spirit...

    Club News 2025

    Apart from the injuries, far too many suspensions have really underlined his performance at our club.

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    We have to learn to control the ruck with and without the ball, too many times we are schooled in that area and its holding us back, we need a running 9 who can kick from dummy half to ease the pressure on our halves. That is why Melbourne and Penrith are so dangerous, they never seem to be out...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    After watching the grand final live one thing really stood out for me was the structure and systems of the Storm and Penrith is they just do the 101s so well, watching that game was like a game of chess and it was one or 2 small errors that decided it. Manly have to develop that sort of...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    Our defence is the obvious barrier to us being a top 4 team. We have a glaring weakness down our left side especially, Saab and Garrick get it wrong too many times and DCE is more vulnerable now. I think we need to have 2 x hookers playing and we need them to control our ruck and run from...

    Des Hasler's Bold Statement Making the Titans Believe

    1986 MANLY

    I remember 1986 as a year where a premiership was a real possibility, the team beat the Whingers, the Filth dogs and Dragons away from home and were top 3 for most of the season. It all fell apart in the last two rounds losing to the Vermin and Whinger back to back and then undone by the Tigers...

    2025 Origin period - Blessing or Curse?

    Origin stifles the league, play origin over a period of 3 weekends mid season so the comp is not affected and its fair to all teams!!

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    Everytime Burbo plays centre, he gets totally exposed and we concede far too many points. At best a backrower or bench but please not at Centre!!

    Young Cruz death to the riff harold mats.

    The Riff have a million and one juniors and poach one of our prospects. You cant blame the kid their system is superior to every club right now. We need to do better to retain our young prospects!

    [Resurrected] Ezra Mam

    What a joke!! This guy drives under the influence, nearly kills people. The sanction is ridiculous. The NRL bottled cause hell know we cant upset the donkeys and he should seriously buy a lottery ticket as his sanction belies the seriousness of what he chose to do that day!

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    For Manly to go all the way a few big changes need to happen. We need a 9 who controls the ruck and creates. That is a huge deficit we have right now. Our current lock needs to play front row. We need more speed and creativity in our scrum base. We must fix our right side defence which is a...

    Defence

    If we are any threat we MUST fix our defence. You cannot concede 21.7 points a game and hope to challenge. The goal for this season has to be to reduce that to a minimum of 18 points a game. The team has to get out of the awful habit of conceding points after giving away penalities and six...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    We are swimming in debt as a country. Each way Albo makes a decision that is all political and it would be lovely if the money they plan to invest in that project would be spent in upgrading the facilities at some of our grounds first!

    The Jake Conundrum

    Jake is a great servant to the club and his defence is outstanding. I am with you in that the time has come to seriously question if we are getting value from him playing lock. I would like to see Jake play a role at prop forward and playing 50-60 minutes a game. He could potentially...
