    Mestrov & Penn vs DCE: Who is lying?

    To make an independent announcement like that (with no club representation present) in RND 3 of a season is most unprofessional & a black mark on DCE's image for doing it. A rather inglorious exit for a player who should be being celebrated. Not a great look for a club captain.

    Mestrov & Penn vs DCE: Who is lying?

    DCE has always struck me as someone who is never emotionally attached to anything; it is always simply transactional with him. Braith Anasta made the statement that strong principles are important to DCE & he would have felt unimpressed by the way this has been handled. My only response to that...

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    And Carrigan!! Wasn't even a stand out in a poor season for the Broncos.

    No Room for DCE or Jake in Aussie squad

    I love Tommy but really? Big question marks also with Carrigan & Hunt.

    14th Immortal

    These might sound like silly questions but firstly, what actually defines an Immortal over others nominated? Surely is can't simply be based on a panel members opinion. How does a player get nominated & considered but may not get honoured for perhaps another 2 or 3 Immortal selection periods? I...

    Sh*t happens

    And by contrast tonight, Crichton's shoulder connects with RTVS in a tackle & he gets........ put on report! RTVS is ruled out for the rest of the match. This is the inconsistent BS that has permeated our refereeing ranks in recent weeks.

    Pangai Junior

    Hope he shows more fight in this venture than he has on the field.

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    Maybe we'll get to see the potential he has promised for so long in a new team with DCE's experience to guide him. However, we definitely need some mongrel & intimidation in the forward pack to get the opposition looking over their shoulders. Where's Rambo Gibbs when you need him! (:)

    Another way to look at what’s transpired.

    Agree in total. In a game that is now very much a business, there is no room or extended tolerance for the 'favourite son, loyal servant, one of our own', once substandard results are delivered. The business world is full of 'victims' who were shown the door due to their own performance or...

    Trbojevic ‘losing patience’ with Manly

    I seem to remember Tom expressing similar sentiments when Barrett was facing the same heat. I admire his loyalty to his coaches but players play & administrators administrate. It's not pleasant but when rugby league changed from a sport to a business, these are the business decisions that are a...

    Too Boo or not Too Boo ... Lattrell

    Has he never wondered what that sound was when playing at another teams home ground? Fans have booed the opposition since time began. They're too precious these days to be able to take it in the spirit intended.

    Taylan May - NRL is a joke.

    If the NRL were truly serious, they would have allowed him to serve his sin bin on Friday night during halftime! That's how big of a joke it is. V'landys should hang his head in shame & embarrassment.

    Paul Green has passed away

    A company I was working for in 93/94 sponsored some Cronulla players & I had the very good fortune to attend a sponsors dinner. I always remember sitting next to this polite & well mannered young man who was then a new 'up & comer' named Paul Green. Just the nicest fellow you would meet in a...

    Is this a great photo or what?

    IGOR. What most forwards today wouldn't give for his tackling technique. No above the waist tackles needed for this man to drop the opposition! I still remember 2 hits he did on Bob O'Reilly & Dallas Donnelly that shook the grandstand to its rafters. They were on the ground before they could...

    These short term late season loans

    Hate it. What is the point of a salary cap? Shrewd resource management is required by a club in the face of adversity (think back to Manly's glorious premiership in 1978 when from memory, they played 4-5 games in 20 days including a grand final replay). When Pengai Jnr joined the Panthers last...

    Shameful lack of tradition

    Been saying the same thing for years. I haven't bought a jersey for years for this very reason. Our traditional look has become so watered down over time that aside from the use of maroon & white, it lacks any recognition. You often think you are looking at a certain team on the TV with the...

    Poll added - Sea Eagles Everyone in League jersey

    I am just so tired of organisations or people of positional & public influence trying to force others in to becoming personal billboards for their own social messaging. As my employer, you can expect me to support the company's service & business strategy every time; that is my job. BUT, you...

    ‘Show respect’: NRL’s message as Hasler, Manly face $25,000 fine

    To add insult to injury, we are told today by Andrew Webster that his mail from within the NRL is that Robbo will only get a stern talking to by the NRL after his comments post match against the Panthers. Apparently, he did not name the referee as Des did. Did he really have to name him for...

    I want blood

    I thought the sight of Jake trying to rally the team and most (including DCE) not even looking at him, instead wandering off and paying no attention, said it all. We have a cultural and team problem. They were and have been simply dreadful, and show none of the proud history and grit reminiscent...
