    Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't

    I reckon Manly have tried to emulate the Storm constant success, by building a team around a few "High priced" Stars Year after year Storm go deep into finals time...we usually from my memory over the past 20 years. They always seem to have a gun spine - Hookers clearly the Best - which is a...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    There is enough talent to be a definite Top 8 side Yet turn up soft, frazzled, confused and look strangers in defence....even the attack which was at least slick in games lost, is looking flat and the kicking game is in the horrendous bracket. I recall opposition fans were envious of the...

    Maybe worse than the Eels game ??

    Maybe...the Eels game was a nightmare, but this may just top it by a cherry. The intensity was lax and there was an almost a vibe Manly did not know how to stop the momentum and were shellshocked expecting to just play out the 2nd half at 50% and get the win, but after getting boo'd off the...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Well what a great 1st half....winning collissions, running with aggression and support, solid kick/chase game. :clap: Then we go to the sheds where the aliens ship was awaiting The players though looking similar, have been cloned by a rabble and the players are off to the pub. That 2nd half...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Tom T is out again and not gunna bag him personally, but it's almost become a week to week proposition. Lehi has been 1 of Manlys Best all season and 1 of few to hold his head up, even after some terrible losses more than holding his own. Just maybe, it will be Lehi at fullback on a permanent...

    Defence effort best part of Win

    Just a thought The Cows are a very good attacking side and Manly looked on a mission defensively, shutting them down well all night. Cows had an "off" night, but I feel they are a team who fold when under the pump and Manly, led by solid defence, won the game on the back of tackling hard and...

    2 worst issues at Manly today - outside Defence

    The attempt to shift the ball and play sideways before earning the right and firstly winning some momentum through the middle. Yes there were arguably without the 3 best front rowers in Paseka, Aloiai and Jake.....but still need to go forward to give your back's space Even last night the 1st...

    Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle

    The Manly middle is near the worst defensively in the NRL and take Jake out - it is.... So slow to get up and the dummy half is already in motion as they struggle to get onside....and when there is an odd decent tackle and win contact, still allow the attacker to win the ruck and play it fast...

    Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out

    They say you always get something out of a loss, personally I don't find much good out of it, though you can reflect on where the opposition exposed your defence.... Regardless of Anderson scoring 10 tries and Howarth burning Garrick 2nd half, the real leaks started centrally....and who better...

    Massive turning point today

    Look we were smoked Storm came to town and killed us But 1 thing After falling behind after a 3 try blitz 1st half, Manly kicked hard and finished the half well on top though down 18 - 10 Early 2nd half, Ben T gets tackled half way with Jerome Hughes, hanging on like a leach, Ben plays it "with...

    Is 'The Bull" the Most improved player in NRL

    Well played Bullemore ! The Silvertails tells a story of a bloke who has been damaging in recent times and deserves the accolades. Had the attributes, but lacked effort early days at Manly, but credit where due, has a big motor and is quite fast, plus he is hitting harder defensively and post...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    To Boo DCE starting this Sunday is not the way to go....in fact I reckon Eels fans will enjoy it, but I have high doubts the other Manly players will appreciate it. Still wearing the Seaeagles emblem, he is still part of Manly in 2025 and "IF" he is in opposition colours in 2026, that's the time...

    What a Hoppatunity !!

    The Turbo is out and we need some hero's to stand up Sunday, enter Lehi Hopoate ....... As always the engine room is the place this starts and ends....but the importance of the 1 in the modern game is a match breaker more than ever. The young man in the Hot seat has all the skills to get it done...

    The ruck interpretation kills us

    I see Manly lose on both sides of the coin in recent seasons In attack, opposition like NZ tonight, seem to get away with holding us down. I feel every supporter can claim this at times, but when it happens to Manly, it continues all game and there are errors and pushed plays in the back of it...

    Frustrating game lacking resilience

    Firstly Manly were expecting to just rock up and "outscore" NZ Well to play the flash you need to Win the bash Manly didn't handle the physical exchanges and the latitude given to the NZ defence, where the champion teams take on the bad calls and get pi""ed off, showing the resilience to simply...

    > Siosiua Taukeiaho <

    Big bloke played unreal Ran with vigour but smarts looking for offloads, which is 100 % what Manly need to go next level....you don't break down Penrith, Storm without 2nd phase play Felt he was exceptional last night and deserves some recognition

    It's a "Big year" or "Bust" for Aloiai !!

    Every now and then Aloiai comes up with a strong game....even a couple in a row. But I'm gunna call it straight up, has been very disappointed with majority of his time at Manly. He had that enforcer type of image based on some tough rugged games for the battling Tigers and seemed a likely...

    Brailey on outer at Newcastle

    I doubt we are still searching for a 9, but Brailey is a reasonably good quality all round dummy half with great service Whispers growing Kinights are keen to see him look elsewhere Couple of Manly things- already have a few vying for this role now so depth seems ok, but not at that standard...
