    How tall is Tom?

    Seriously...there’s now way he’s 6’4”. Brad Parker is 193cm apparently, and Tom is towering over him in this pic. https://www.instagram.com/p/COE_yqNBwIW/?igshid=1xgb7bb75is2c I’m thinking more like 6’6”? Yes I know...sweating the important things this morning rather than working!

    Perrett

    Was thinking...it is unlikely that another team is going to pick up Perrett, based on the fact he was what, our seventh-string front rower this season, and his well-publicised health issues which hinder his preparation and training. Based on what little we saw during his short bursts at the...

    High performance

    Earlier this week, I attended a seminar as part of a soccer coaches course I am doing. I'm coaching my son's team, and he's just made it into the rep academy, hence the need to learn a few new skills. The seminar was hosted by the regional representative soccer association, and the speaker was...

    Kapow...and the future

    Marty has been, and still is, a great prop. He’s strong, aggressive, gets through the advantage line and has one of the best offloads in the game. However, personally I now rate AFB ahead of him - all the same characteristics except he’s naturally bigger and stronger. In fact, he is the absolute...

    Kelepi

    There is an article on the Daily CRapograph that is behind their paywall, but states that Kelepi is the NRL's strongest. Anyone have a subscription and able to post a clip on here? Guessing it is similar to the one in the Manly Daily, which states he can deadlift 300kg, bench 185kg and squat...

    Fixing front row problem

    Hate to mess with a balanced team, but moving Jake back to the front row and having Frank at 13 is not a bad solution to the Darcy ankle issue... frees up some bench space for Tanginoa (maybe instead of Lewis) and Sipley.

    Training stories and stats

    I was trawling through a few online documents looking for some inspiration before hitting the gym, when I came across an article from last season about strongest lifters in the NRL. Marty Taupau won overall of course, but Kelepi Tanginoa was rated as easily the most impressive during his time at...

    Training pic clues?

    Quite possibly slow on the uptake here...maybe even very slow...but I’ve just noticed that of the training pics on the club website, there is a clear differentiation between the incumbent first graders and the ‘others’ in the top squad. Existing teamsters seem to train in maroon shirts, and the...

    Back row...then, now, next year

    Was busy stalking Manly players on social media yesterday, when I noticed Justin Horo having some minor banter with Darcy...during which he said "cant wait to catch up soon" or similar. Which reminded me of the rumour that he might be back in 2018. I know, I know...personally I was sorry when he...

    Sea Eagles just ruined my sex life!

    Well...it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just accidentally called my wife "Manly" to her face. It seems I wasn't fully concentrating on our conversation. Lucky she has a sense of humour...

    Where do we need to strengthen?

    I realise this has been discussed to a certain extent on other threads, but consolidating here... OK, so we have hit form, which is great. We seem to have started buying young players with heaps of potential, which is even greater(er). So clearly building for the future. Depending on what you...

    [Resurrected] Api or Parcell? That is the question...

    I think after our first season with the new-look hooking options at the club, the jury is still out on who should be starting hooker for us. I have seen in another thread that it is guaranteed to be Api, but there is a lot of support on here for Parcell as well. It is hard, after having such a...

    Save our Sons

    just putting the Big Ups out to The Beaver... giving up his time again for charity at today's Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Melbourne cup fundraiser. The Great One does not rest... Notable mentions to Dene Halatau and Benji Marshall, also in attendance. #saveoursons

    Unhappy reggies...?

    Might be nothing...but this quote from Pita Godinet stuck out in an article on the NSW RL website today: “We’re not going to play for each other after this season; there’s a few boys that want to move on and I think it’s probably the last time I’m going to play with a few of them. “There’s a...

    Gould on Manly and Tom...

    Sorry if this has been reported elsewhere, but Phil Gould, that excellent judge of football and character, is heaping praise on our performance from Monday night, as well as giving Tom a huge wrap...This is from points five and six of his weekly column in the SMH...

    DCE will have a blinder against Cowboys...

    It is written in the stars. Drove for two hours today, and saw FOUR cars with a numberplate featuring the letters "DCE"... Not that I'm superstitious at all, mind. Or clutching at straws...

    In a parallel universe..

    In a parallel universe, whereby Tooves was still coach BUT he had inherited our current team...would everyone agree that we'd be much higher up the table? We seem to have stopped scoring points - yes, I know we suddenly have VERY makeshift halves, but even so, our classy, timeless backs just...

    Be like the Beaver...

    Just something for a quiet moment here...but I got to thinking last night about the "genuinely nice guys" of Rugby League... like, the absolute polar opposites of your Josh Reynolds, Mick Ennis types. TBH I was watching Jack Reed play, and he always strikes me as a very fair type of...

    Reserve Grade

    You have to wonder how long Manly will persist with The Cougar at the helm of reggies... I really like the guy - to me, he is like a tier 2 Manly legend...not quite up there with Cliffy, Beaver etc, but played in GF teams, held the team together in defence for a long time, never (seldom) put a...
