    Mark's "Your Top 8 & Wooden Spoon" 2024 predictions thread.

    This is conditional on Manly not suffering long term injuries to Turbo, DCE, Brooks, Ola, Koula, Jake and Garrick (and Schuster if he can get his s..t together) Sydney City Souths Manly Penrith Broncos Melbourne Warriors Cronulla St George wooden spoon.

    Is Weekes the next Gutherson

    Concerns me that despite the obvious talent being shown by this young player, there has been no sign of him signing up on an upgraded and longer contract. Is on the open market and the vultures are circling. Surely the recruitment people can see the kid is a keeper. Or is he to be given a free...

    Tries, Tries, Tries

    Not sure of records of try scoring in Manly's past but I dont think I've ever seen a situation in their past when their two wingers have scored 20 tries a piece and the full back 19 tries in one season. That in itself must be a record. Taufua and Williams scored 20 each in the 2013 season, while...

    Partiality and the NRL Referee

    Look I don't like having to bag referees (of course anyone who starts a statement like that intends to do just that), but yes I have a major gripe about the refereeing system in the NRL. So what are the issues. 1. NRL referees don't seem to be sufficiently accountable. Players are carefully...

    Why is Brookie Oval now 4 Pines Park

    Perhaps I'm just thick or behind the times, but I got confused by the name 4 Pines Park for Brookvale Oval. To quote another confused soul 'Please explain'.

    Will the Real Des Hasler please stand up

    Might have noticed my absence. Just stood back and watched for the beginning of the season to see if Des had learned from last year. I'm disappointed because it seems he hasn't. Certainly Des developed a champion set of players in his 2004-11 stretch with Manly and they did the job for him. But...

    Short Term Thinking for Long Term Goals

    Having watched Manly for over 50 years I've seen the ups and downs and have always had hope things would improve after the lows. I am not so confident at present. What I am seeing at Manly is firstly an excellent recruitment strategy at the juniors level, getting a number of classy young...

    Why so many injuries?

    The latest injuries to Taufua and now Schuster, both out for the rest of the season, begs the question Why? For the past few seasons Manly has had this continuing spate of serious injuries to its players, that seem well beyond what other clubs are experiencing, and one wonders if there is...

    Should Jarrod Mullen be allowed back playing in NRL

    Mullen has been on a 4 year ban for steroid use and supply cocaine. He is yet to complete his 300 hour community service order on the second matter. He's applied to be allowed to return to the game, I suppose in 2021. My personal view is guarded but I also believe that rehabilitation is useless...

    Is Des Losing his Mojo?

    Come on Strone. What's your thoughts. Would be interested in others also of course

    Who will be offered top Rugby Union post

    Interesting that Greenberg quit (or was pushed), at much the same time that Castle has resigned from the top Rugby Union post in this country. Has a deal been made and Greenberg is to be offered the Rugby Union post? Just a thought. Remember Gallop and his sudden move to soccer.

    Which are the danger teams for Manly in 2020

    As a start off, I think Melbourne and Sydney City will slide a little. My team to watch is Canberra.

    2013 all over again?

    Surely this is becoming more than just coincidence that Sydney City are gifted a grand final win through refereeing decisions. Once could be construed accidental, twice suggests something more sinister. The manner in which Sydney City is defended over salary cap issues, promoted by the media...

    The Rise of Salford

    Salford were on the way towards relegation last year, and looked done and dusted. This year they are playing in the final against Wigan for a chance to play St Helens in the Superleague Grand Final. So what happened? Consider two young Manly discards, neither given a look by Barrett last year...

    REFEREEING ACCOUNTABILITY

    The question regarding the quality of refereeing comes up weekly followed by the usual silence from the NRL and if we are lucky a passing comment by the head of referees. We know it is a tough role to play, but these guys are being paid big money to get it right, and too often they don't. Add to...

    Sign up the Kids First

    Before the Sea Eagles recruitment people start searching high and low for backs and forwards to fill the gaps, they need to sign up several of the youngsters to at least 2-3 year contracts. Some of these kids will be better than what we can recruit in a few years and being raised in the Sea...

    Is the NRL competition rigged?

    The recent Warriors-Storm referee debacle has even high profile ex players commentating for the various media outlets asking questions only posed by parochial Rugby League supporters in the past. Is the NRL manipulating the game through favouritism not only in their salary cap, TPA, no fault...

    Who is our best ever half?

    Its reaching the stage where the question will be asked. Is DCE as good as Toovey and where does he rank in today's halves? For mine DCE has passed Cronk as the best half playing in the NRL today. That's not to suggest he's yet up there with Cronk and Thurston at their best, but I cant see any...

    ITS A CONSPIRACY

    I love a good conspiracy theory. You know the second shooter who did in JFK. The secret service elimination of Marilyn Monroe. The agenda through Blue Book to debunk UFO sightings. Lots of fun and worth pages and pages in pulp magazines. But sometime conspiracies are real. Two issues that...
