    Garricks performance at centre

    And who's the player inside Garrick in the defensive line? The same bloke who was inside Harper and confused the s**t out of him as well: Cherry. But really, it's pointless to point the finger at one link in that chain. The whole left side - Haumole, Cherry, Garrick and Paulo - have got to get...

    No, but somebody thought it was, and since it wasn't called, they decided to go for not an obstruction instead.

    [Resurrected] Keppie re-signs 2026 ... Unleash Keppie NOW!

    Where he will no doubt be unleashed… They're looking for scapegoats at Souths right now (almost as much as we do here), so I'm not surprised he's been dropped. Shame, really. They are light on for forwards and I was hoping he'd establish himself there.

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    I'm not sure Toff will walk straight into the side. He's a big body and might need a game or two in the reserves for some match fitness. I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching staff stick with the same pack and bench.

    Hope so, but I also hope the players aren't banking the two points already. We've made a habit of playing down to our opponents' level for a few years now. Just one of the many bad habits we need to break to be a contender.

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    Agree, frank. But I'll be f***ed if I'm going to spend 11 minutes of my life listening to Annesley explain what you just explained in 15 seconds.

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Big, big game. If we finish the round three from four, the positive feelings and hope we've all been feeling will get a nice, timely boost. If we end up two from four, not so much…

    Does Burbo cement a Top 17 spot in 2023 ?

    Yeah, unfortunately he was mostly invisible yesterday, except when he was making game-changing mistakes. But it's one poor game out of three.

    Just on the speed factor, how good was it to see four Manly players outpacing the Parra defence when Garrick made that break and put the kick through that Turbo scored from? Paulo, Haumole (!) and Koula could have also grabbed it.

    No problem at all, mate. It did not feel like gloating to me:-) I hope you are right. But we have shown no signs of addressing it for years.

    Leaking points in the 20m

    Agree 100%, mave. But, for whatever reason, it seems to be the choice the coaches have made.

    Leaking points in the 20m

    It worried me how quickly and how easily we gave up points after we'd scored in the first two games against the Bunnies and Roosters. But really, that's been the case for years. I haven't trusted our defence for the better part of a decade: we can't defend inside our own 20, and once a team...

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    Mate, that edge defence has been a problem with us for years, and yes, it was also a problem in the first two games. Every coach in the NRL knows you can beat Manly on the edges, and if they are half decent at their job, they will aim plenty of traffic down the left side. I'm not sure if we can...

    Blacktown Workers

    Really like the look of Clayton Faulalo every time I see him - kid's a footy player, good in the air, and knows how to find a try. Lehi Hopoate is another natural. Hope to see them both in the top grade for us at some stage.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    That was from the dropout not going the 10 metres, right? I wondered, with the new rules, whether we were allowed to take a shot at goal there.
