    Bulldogs Grand Final Performance

    Congratulations to the Bulldogs for one of the most dirty and cynical performances by a team I've seen . Graham leading with his head to use it as a battering ram on numerous occasions (he knocked Dave Tyrell out with an identical tackle in 2013), Tim Browne trying to inflict further damage to...

    Ennis' late shoulder charge on DCE

    I heard Snake blowing up deluxe to the referee about the late shoulder charge on DCE in the first half by Ennis on DCE after he got a kick away. Channel 9 showed it very briefly . Does anyone have a link to the incident as there was a suggestion that there was contact with the head.

    Tactics versus the Bulldogs

    Lyon said around a month ago that Manly know when to peak and that the boys just LOVE playing footy. Well that "love" has not been evident recently. Maybe it's time to throw out the tip sheets and tell them to have some fun and just play what you see. However , let's look at what the Dogs are...

    Post Match Analysis

    A total of 40 missed tackles for the match by Manly continues the recent trend. There was too much arm grabbing suggesting an attitude problem . The defensive line speed was probably the slowest it's been all season.The forwards are not hunting as a pack. The long kicking games of DCE and Foran...

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    A short passing game around the ruck with lots of angled runners (especially Watmough and Symonds) to keep the big Souths forwards off balance. Tuquiri to be tested at every opportunity as he has a propensity to come in off his wing unnecessarily and leak tries. He's also very slow to turn , so...

    Tactics For The Cowboys

    Lui and Taumalolo slide very slowly in defence especially to their right hand side so the space around them can be targeted especially with short inside passes. Ashton Sims is also vulnerable in defence one on one . When we played them in round 7 Foz was halfback , Lyon five eighth and DCE...

    Toovey's Presser

    Good to see that he had a go at the referees tonight. The time to make a point is when you win . The wrestling by the Bulldogs in the ruck was as bad as I've seen this season . The irony wasn't lost on Toovey when DCE got penalised for apparently holding Hodkinson down (in what was a routine...

    Tactics versus the Bulldogs

    The Bulldogs usually bring their off-side game to Brookvale which partly explains their reasonable success here in recent times. Their defensive line often jumps the gun and they are invariably offside when defending their line (more blatantly than any other team in my opinion). Their markers...

    Tactics to Beat Souths

    A short passing game around the ruck with frequent outside/in angled runners (especially Watmough) to get the big Souths defenders off balance. Followed by quick play the balls and quick hands to get poor defensive reads from Champion/Tuquiri/ Goodwin and Merritt . Merritt and Tuquiri have a...

    Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed

    DCE gets tackled by Jennings at the 69min30sec mark , is on the ground and held about 20 metres out, then Jake Friend does a flop with a swinging arm to the head/neck. That's a penalty every day of the week. If Manly players were coached to stay down it would have been reviewed and the officials...

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    We had the game plan to beat them last time at BlueTongue Stadium but we were derailed by the Matai no-try ruling. Basically play at high intensity for the first 25 minutes or so , establish a lead then use the remaining petrol in the tank to hold on. Souths have wobbled in the 2nd half both...

    Glenn Stewart Injury

    I'm not sure how accurate this is , but according to the NRL Injury Update today on the Tom Waterhouse blog , Glenn Stewart could miss up to 6 weeks with his eye injury. I suspect this is a hypothetical worst case scenario. Has anyone heard anything definite about the injury ?

    Ode To Des

    Here is my tribute to the ex-Manly coach : There was a coach ,quite deceptive and steely Whose story was told by Thomas Keneally But much has changed since that tome was conceived Like friendships corrupted and people deceived He was staying at Manly , or so he pretended While players were...
