    Sea Eagles’ ‘super subs’ shine

    I was critical of Hiku after the Storm game but agreed he played well on Friday with a crucial offload. Not spectacularly (and let's face it his errors were spectacular the week before) and that's perhaps all that can be asked. I have always liked Buhrer but am dismayed that he seems to be such...

    Hiku madness

    Hiku might have run a lot of metres in that SF but we did not score a point. That's much more unlikely with Stewart, even if he only runs 10m. It's fair to say Hiku has done some good and bad things so far but I don't see him as a match-winner. To be a "solid" option as fallback fullback he had...

    Is Killer complaining to the refs too much

    Maybe we should change our name to Moanly Waa-whinger. Mind you I see every complaint made by us as completely justified and I forgive nothing. Still flabber and gasted that one of our players was headbutted in the GF RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REF AND THEY GOT THE PENALTY!!!!!

    Souffs game

    MWSE website says definitely no Brett and no King but Wolf is back. Bit concerning that our leading prop is still unavailable two games in. Thought our forwards were ground down against the Storm, who look lightweight compared to the Burgess-infested Bunnies.

    The Ageing Roster

    DCE is young but also a Queensland and Australian rep player. Foran was very quiet. Plenty of other veterans in the team, yet we played stupidly. Actually the game reminded me of one against Parra (from memory) where Stewart limped off and we almost blew a huge lead (lucky it was Parra)...

    The Ageing Roster

    The first half was a glorious reminder of how good is it when "the band is back together". However that looks like it will be increasingly a rarity. For all the talk of our young halves we are incredibly reliant on B Stewart. The cap forced us to let go of his obvious replacement in W Hopoate...

    What to do with Hiku?

    Hiku was also completely done in the air by Waqu for their first try. Not that he is alone in that - none of our wingers seem good in the air by modern standards and that's really the template to beat us - high kicks to the wings. Of course he is a work in progress but there is a casualness and...

    It's all over

    Still gutted. Yes the reffing turned us over (as normal) actually the odd thing was us leading the count in the first half, which I had trouble believing. But we were invited to win that game and did not. Smith missed an easy kick before and we got that out-on-the-full kick. Very disappointed no...

    Wolfie turns to film acting [SMH story]

    Hmmmm indeed. The MWSE website says that Williams was "Propositioned by director John Marsh"

    In praise of the Wolfman

    I have said previously that I thought the match turning point (without having watched a replay) was Williams letting an uncontested bomb bounce off his chest near our line, which eventually allowed the Roosters to score. The only charitable explanation is that he must have lost it in the lights.

    Rugby League World Cup

    From the Guardian match report: The Pacific Islanders threatened to run away with the game at that stage but the introduction of the Manly Sea Eagles forward James Hassan for his debut injected some much-needed resolve into the Irish ranks. Also: in the final move of the match, Hassan forced...

    Sea Eagles cash in by making a profit for 2013

    Excellent news, congrats to the club and all involved

    Favourite 2013 moment ?

    My highlight match was the win against the Storm. I think that was the best we played this year. I also think it was the beginning of the end of their season. My highlight moment would be Lawrence holding up the ball and challenging the two Souths forwards to give it all they've got, which Ch9...

    My Perspective - what's yours

    When we won in 08 and 11 I felt like there was a sense of inevitability about it. We had few injuries and results went our way in the finals. That wasn't the case this year. We went into the GF down three first-pick props and carrying quite a few injuries (Brett for sure, Watmough among others)...

    Roosters Forum - Piss off Roosters Fans

    In case anyone thinks it is just Manly fans Steve Mascord (if anything an old Illawarra Steelers fan) writes this: By fining Geoff Toovey and Ricky Stuart (twice) this year, the NRL became more draconian over criticism of match officials. By not fining Neil Henry or Johnathan Thurston, they...

    My Perspective - what's yours

    Well I didn't actually see the 72 game being a bit young at the time. I only go by the match reports and highlights. I just offered it in a probably futile attempt to feel better about the reffing on Sunday. It's probably the only penalty count the Roosters won all year (and I do think...

    My Perspective - what's yours

    I am proud of the team and thought they contested well on Sunday. We dominated the first half of each stanza but unfortunately they finished stronger in both. Yes the reffing helped. I am glad I was at the ground and from my angle I couldn't see how far forward that pass was to take the lead. I...

    Rose

    I see Rose is good at school and studying commerce at uni. Don't King and Lawrence also have degrees? We have a very educated front row, bookends indeed.

    Player power: why veterans told Toovey to take control

    This article reminds me of something Watmough said earlier this year, that the senior players sometimes pulled Des up on his crazier ideas. Another posted article says that Brett was observing the Roosters from the stands and has some ideas. Des was no doubt a great coach but it was not a case...

    Tough GF in comparison.

    Agree. Much less confident of this game then against Souths who I thought were over-rated and psyhcologically vulnerable. That Topou Folau-impersonation in the Knights game was a bit scary, considering our wingers are not the best in contested high kicks. Also the speed of the Roosters forwards...
