    No juniors no worries?

    It was a bit scary reading articles years ago about how clubs like Parra ,Pennies, dogs , Broncos ,Wobblers from across the ditch have all the juniors and the bickies combined and us Beagles , Bunnies and Rooters may as well just relax , nothing happening any time soon. It was hard to argue with...

    No offload needed

    Instead of standing around looking at a teammate desperately try to free his arms to offload, why don't players go in and extract the bloody thing in person at no risk and wait for the Ref to blow that whistle as a try is awarded. Same thing if he is held up over the line but still alive, just...

    [Resurrected] Haslers first year

    In 2004 Hasler finished his maiden year as a 1st grade coach. His team finished in 13th position and conceded 30 points a game(754). A young fullback shone despite this and hinted at better things to come. In 2016 Barrett will finish in a similar position in his maiden season with a developing...

    A player not getting sent off for foul play could cost a GF win

    It is possible someone will win a GF one day due to taking out someone like JT in the first 5 minutes. Say a careless high shot and JT is gone for the game. Terry Lamb taking out Hanley could have won The dogs a GF. Is it fair, as is currently the case, that the hit man stays on the field and...

    A couple of highly rated players I don't get

    The title could be worded better but I did my best. Some players you hear the experts talk about and seem to have general rating as top notch but I don't quite see it when they run around. Jame Graham and Aiden Tolman come to mind as I watched them last night. It is clearly not a fair or direct...

    The radar could be turned off soon

    Our old mate Des climbed aboard the latest stealth bomber in 2012 which was upgraded repeatedly in the next four years with no expense spared. Co pilot was the great recruiter Noel Cleal. His former club was rendered virtually toothless with backended deals , ageing troops and plundering by Des...

    [Resurrected] The Penny has dropped from a great height!

    We are going around in ever decreasing circles talking about coaches , injuries , culture and every other possible reason why Manly are low on the table in 2016. I have missed the most important point. Leading up to our recent golden era something went dramatically right with recruitment and...

    Could a team win the Grand Final on the eight tackle?

    I might have missed something but I can not recall a solution to the issue of teams getting an extra tackle. Are we relying entirely on one very busy stressed person only to count the tackles? Can't the weekend warriors in the bunker have a button to press to count tackles which is then...

    Did Cliffy and Beaver sneak on the field

    So often we hear of someone being the new "Sonny Bill or someone else"but Buhers try on Sunday was an exact replica of Menzies / Lyon . Not many ball players could deliver a try like that. The timing and the subtle deception was perfect and a reminder of DCE's skills which reappear in a good...

    Plenty of wisdom sitting on the couch!

    Plenty of us have strong opinions as to why NSW have been dominated in S.O.O for a decade. I do like listening to different views as it is a major part of following sport, the bit where we crap on about it. One of the solutions put forward is to pick the best players and stick with them as...

    Manly may have the games best spine soon

    Parcell , DCE and the Turbo look to me to be the best spine within 2-3 years. Even next year with all 3 fit and strong anything could happen. Clearly we need good players to allow them to play well. It is critical to weed out players who can not defend well or learn quickly. One factor in our...

    Not many favorites win the title?

    It seems to me that only sometimes does the premiership favorite ( At the start of the season) win the title maybe 10 % or a bit more. I think Manly were favorites the year after one at least of our last titles but snake got injured. I imagine Souths were favoured last year and Easts the year...

    Amazing lack of Superstars emerging in the last 8 years

    I have followed NRL since the early 70s and have always enjoyed the emergence of a potential Superstar and the development of some into a recognized great. The list is endless until you look at almost anyone who has started in the last 8 years.Where are this eras players like Fittler , Johns ...

    Forward Pass nightmare

    I watched the game last night at a pub with a very loud band playing and heard none of the commentry. We seemed to score two tries the first of which would be allowed more often than not, and may have been forward and the second one I did not even imagine a forward pass was on the radar. Of...

    Deceptive Missed Tackle Count

    I was interested to look at the missed tackle count after the Broncos game and I was particularly interested in Vaves count. It said zero missed tackles. I think he has been quite good for us and I do not know how good he is at defending. However apon observing the replay of Milfords try up...

    Standing Deeper

    I would like to see players standing deeper on many occasions and hitting the ball at 100% speed. I would say wingers may be shallow to chase the kick but I see so many instances where an overlap is created and the winger has to check his run and hits the ball at 70% speed and turns a likely try...
