    Manly - the 2013 version

    Thanks Gazman, to be a little pedantic we did buy Lyon and Kite as name players but none since. It's odd to see so many other supporters starting to respect our team and our club culture. Mind you that was always there it just used to be supplemented by having money as well What if all the...

    Abbott changes for the Sea Eagles

    On Prime Ministers I think we are the only team to win under the last three Rudd, Gillard and Howard (maybe the Storm would if theirs hadn't been stripped). So time to add a fourth

    Abbott changes for the Sea Eagles

    The Roosters would be Malcolm Turnbull's team. We know what happened the last time Abbott's forces squared off with Turnbull's. OK there was only one vote in it but I'll happily take a one-point victory

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    1984 revenge . Manly up 14 points against Souths and lost. We never forget or ever forgive. MAAAANLEEEYYY!

    Regardless..be proud of our team.

    I am very happy with the season we have had but hope, of course, to be even happier. I have not seen a match that we didn't compete hard in.

    Our 1-7 vs their 1-7

    The above is a good point but I would add one qualification. We were only given two awarded tries the last time we met Souths. The Matai one was, of course, denied by the onfield ref (can't blame the video who then followed the guidelines).

    Tonight's game

    I didn't think the Storm really looked like it since we touched them up

    A bridge too far

    It may be the case of a game too far but I feel better than going into the corresponding game last year (which sadly I saw at the ground). I knew we were limping into that one and the Storm were ready to finish us off (I didn't know how horrible it would be). I don't feel the same this year...

    Manly v Souths

    To me what it shows is how myth over-rides reality. So the only player that Arko actually signed in that list is O'Neil and that was back in the 70s. On morning TV there was another myth developing - that Manly only won because of the dodgy Taufua try - but take that away and we still win by...

    Manly v Souths

    Thurston may have done us a favour with his sookiness. The refs will probably be aware of the conspiracy theory about getting Souths in the GF, so will try not to favour them. BTW I saw Fairfax's Andrew Webster wrote this: "Killing Manly will help Souths delete years of their own pain. For...

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    I actually fancy our chances next week. In a way I was more worried about this game. We will have an extra day's recovery than for this one. We might have back Brett. Our nerves will probably be better after a finals win. Souths I thought were not that impressive in beating (with some friendly...

    Refs

    I wouldn't have give Taufua's but as it wasn't converted at least we can say we still squarely won by the penalty goal Not that I mind I will take a win any way we get it. We have lost a few on tries that shouldn't have been or one's of ours that weren't given

    Late Mail - Snake to miss game?

    I like Hiku but he is not the strike weapon Snake is. I would swap his 300m run last week for Stewart running 10 and either setting up or scoring a try.

    Late Mail - Snake to miss game?

    Definitely worried now but have always been worried about this game. What's the bet Carney plays? Even if he doesn't I have seen some underestimating of the Sharks on this forum. They have beaten both Souths and Easts (or whatever they are now) and we haven't. Their forwards could be the best...

    Life post Snake

    Did Sat night give us a taste of post Stewart? Our backline plays have been largely based around his speed of foot, hands and brain. Hiku is a good prospect and we have many other fine players, but Brett is the class that elevates our team from good to great. We will beat most sides if we play...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly report - round 26 2013

    Very nicely done and all the better for not knowing how tongue-in-cheek it is. Have enjoyed your summaries all year and hope they continue into the finals

    Gorgeous on 'The Back Page'

    Georgie is a hero to me and I suspect many other ... well ... similarly proportioned males the plus side of 30. He is also a hero for the way he came back from that sickening injury, the way represents the club to the indigenous community, for being a character on and off the field and his...

    Toovey and Kite

    When Hasler left I will admit I was worried. I had probably bought too much into the one man club saviour myth. But of course the truth of the matter is that Hasler did not make Manly, Manly made Hasler. The likes of Toovey and Kite are the sinews of this great club. People used to think...
