    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Such a disappointment if Bennett cant get this kid motivated. Got immense skills that have been seriously wasted. If he fails, he's one I got quite wrong about. Whatever the cause, its a shame the mental attitude does not match up with the obvious potential. I'm still hopeful, but if a coach of...

    Burbo to lock?

    Granted young Burbo has a bit to do. I would suggest a couple of points though. When attention is drawn to a young player, expectations are high. This is a kid from Turbo and Jurbo stock and therefore there's a tendency to expect unrealistic wonders from the youngest. Ben is not going to be as...

    Burbo to lock?

    I like it Rmd. He's been developing year by year, and at 23 for a forward he is approaching his best years. The kid has speed for a forward, good defense and could cause trouble out wide given he plays centre and would effectively become an extra back. Needs to be tougher and stronger and...

    Lehi Hopoate

    And a top forward he is. Cleal played much of his career in the forwards, but also did some stints in the centre and broke one or two tackles there

    Lehi Hopoate

    Bring back Noel Cleal. He knew how to break a tackle or four.

    You might say that we can be thankful to Wests for their largesse to the Sea Eagles

    For Manly, defense or show them the gate

    Coaching and the media. The latter for sure.

    Probably right Disco, given what ISZ is saying that lower clubs often pay overs for top players. I was tending to give a basic market value given his age, but then clubs would up the price to ensure they got the prize

    DCE to announce retierment

    Agreed LC. I think back to 2018. We were one game away from the Wooden Spoon that year and much depended on DCE to avoid that trophy so to speak. DCE has got Manly out of many scrapes over the years. His experience during our very ordinary years over the past decade kept our head above water.

    DCE to announce retierment

    I wonder if DCE impacted so well in his first season because he had been held back in lower grade because of the half backs we had then, and had his first game when aged 22. He certainly exploded onto the scene in his first year. I remember watching him play some games on TV for Manly's then QLD...

    DCE to announce retierment

    I'd make one addition to that list even though he didn't play in the grand final. That was John Gibbs. He did much to get Manly to the 1978 grand final but injury kept him out of the Grand Final side. He was selected for the Kangaroos given his outstanding efforts that year. So he and Martin...

    DCE to announce retierment

    Only Cleary in my mind is a match for DCE. DCE's range of skills is well beyond most other half backs playing. He dominates in games. You know who's boss out there. Sure he makes mistakes at times, but I would suggest, as I have before, its because he has in the past decade been playing with a...

    DCE to announce retierment

    Gosh lets hope Joey Walsh lives up to his reputation and potential. Its a big gap to fill.

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Crazy system there. 34% of eligible voters chose not to vote. Shows how much they care.

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Do you think for one moment the Liberal Party would not have considered something similar. Morrison was almost sending us into a serious trade war with China (with Murdock's support) Politics is always about slamming the opposition. Dutton is doing it continuously and with as questionable...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Unfortunately we both know there are political implications to this decision. Great if it benefit PNG and a team from that neighbour was always under consideration. However its choice ahead of the much better financially backed and stable Perth, I strongly suspect was a political decision...

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    I remember that '69 grand final. Biggest boil over I can recall. The rising brilliance of South Sydney was expected to roll the Tigers easily. Balmain played it tactically, slowing the game down, feigning a constant flow of injuries, maintaining strong defense. Put the Rabbits off their game...
