    Annesley's weakly "why this happened" report

    Just watching a replay of the match and it’s beyond belief how Hughes wasn’t penalised and sin binned. He wasn’t even in the frame when Reuben already over the sideline, and he just slid in with the knees and got him in the head. That was 15 to go in the first half, so how different is the...

    Referees have ruined the game. Absolute disgrace

    How does a team that holds down the opposition and always offside concede so few 6 agains? Let alone the other decisions that the dud/corrupt ref came up with.

    Bad mistakes

    Seriously, expected to be bent over, but the way it happens time after time is incredible. If we had the same calls it would have been no contest.

    SOO Game III [2021] - Discussion thread.

    I can’t believe no one has pointed out that Christian Welch touched the ball in an offside position after Turbo’s pass was knocked down by Ponga. Should have been a penalty around 30 metres out and just off centre which Mitchell would have kicked to tie up the game at 20 all.

    Walker, Sironen, Suli

    I think we should stick to the same 17 unless there are injuries; the shape of the defence is much better with Harper’s energy and the communication seems much better. Tapau has been great off the bench and even Croker has done a sterling job plugging the middle. We are obviously relying on...

    Smokin' Joe's glorious juniors thread.....2021 edition.

    Couple of incidents in the last 5 minutes; Manly winger takes the bomb on the full over the try line and is tackled in mid air over and pushed over the sideline in goal. Why is that not a penalty try??? A minute to go and Canberra marker reaches through the ruck to prevent dummy half to pick up...

    Where do we go from here?

    So you are happy to ignore the fact we have won 1 of our past 13 games? Same coach and he had brought in players he wanted for 2021. Even Turbo was there at the back end of last year. I can’t watch this team play, especially when we keep picking the same players.

    I love ya Des, but!

    I didn’t watch the game but the score was what I expected after having watched the trial. As Ryan correctly points out, the performances are mounting to a point where any other coach would be sacked. id rather see us lose with enthusiastic youngsters than the same second rate players that keep...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Chooks v Manly [Round 1, 2021]

    I’m sorry but if Schuster isn’t slotted into the 17 at kickoff then Des needs to come under scrutiny. He is the best junior outside of Turbo in the past decade, and we don’t have the luxury of leaving him out. Anyone who thinks the selected team will get within 20 points of the Roosters is...

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    If we were coming off a strong season, I’d agree that it’s only a trial. But given we nearly got the spoon and the same bad habits are still there, I fear we’re in for another poor year. And yes, I know there was no Foran,DCE, Walker, but as we have no decent hooker and fullback, tell me how we...

    Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

    Agree; since when is Sione Fainu a dummy half? Why not throw Birt on? Schuster and Harper look good but forwards are getting overrun and most of those are our starting pack

    THE CROKER POLL .. THE RESULT UPDATED!

    Look, every Manly supporter wants to see Croker succeed at 9, but nothing he did last year suggests he will be the right fit. I would have thought Cust at least showed he could make a break, and given the amount of times Croker couldn’t even do the simple things right, I fear that having Foran...

    Hooker for 2021

    Except hooker touches the ball more than any other player, and if he can’t combine with our 1,6 and 7 then it doesn’t matter what other attributes he has. I’d prefer Cust and hope Croker isn’t even in the 17.

    Footage

    Actually if you find a couple of long range tries against Easts at the end of the 79 season, he’d be a shoe in.

    Who was Manly's best in the past 50 years ... Halfback

    The only you tube video of Gibbsy I can find is a try he scored against St George at Kogarah. Would love to see more of those long range tries, and remember him carving up Norths nearly every time we played them.

    1986 MANLY

    Whatever happened to Mitchell Cox? I went overseas at the start of 86 and he was in firsts and playing well. By the end of the season he was nowhere to be seen. I always thought he was a gun at Norths, with his quick acceleration and bootlace tackling style.

    2020 Finals discussion thread

    Take another look, he definitely changed direction as he was aware Kikau was breathing down his neck. That’s why it’s a sin bin because a potential try scoring situation. If he had confidence that Papanhauzen had it covered he wouldn’t have moved.

    Lachlan Croker ...

    I’m sorry but Croker is not even NSW cup standard. He can’t even throw a decent pass or put a player into a gap. It’s inconceivable he played the whole year in first grade, but it took nearly the whole season for Schuster to show in 65 minutes what skills a 5/8 needs. Unfortunately Croker is...

    Alex Johnston

    So happy to take unders to stay with Souths, when not long ago couldn’t fit within the cap. Obviously nothing to see here, which is why there needs to be more transparency around salaries.

    The Book of Albert

    The difference with Schuster is he played in the trial against Cronulla and showed his class and ability to compete against another first grade team. Yet Des persisted with Croker who is average at best, and even Cust has been too up and down. Hopoate is coming off 2 years of injury which has...
