    Pre-Game Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    The ref in the Roosters / Saints game yesterday obviously did not get the same memo on forward passes that our ref got last week. I counted at least 6 forward passes from Saints that did not get pinned. Even the mighty Gus Gould picked that up in commentary. We got pinned I think 3 times last...

    Pre-Game Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    That's close to a premiership winning pack and bench right there. The concern has been and still is our defence out wide. Surely that is more than obvious and fixable. Someone please say yes it is!!!

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    Paulo has been in the squad for most of our games so I assume he stays. Been steadily improving with each game so I think Talau unfortunately will miss to make way for Saab. On the forwards, I would start the Bulley who I thought had a great game last week against the big warriors pack. Great...

    Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

    Obviously a brilliant diversionary tactic to lull the Worriers into a false sense of security. You can see them relax as Woodsie trots out there!!!

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    I read the article. I was asking if anyone knows anything about these "performance clauses". Example Weight? Selection in NRL? Try Assists? Average Tackles PG??? First I have ever heard about performance clauses as they are avoided by player managers like the plague.

    Does anyone know anything about this "secret contract clause...that safeguards the club against significant financial loss"??

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    No dispute on that. The fact is we did offer the Shu a significant contract based on significant potential. So far we have not seen that potential. So we are now down to persevere or punt. I would be persevering longer with the guy while most on here probably would not. Simple difference of...

    Also just a reminder that the great Cliffy Lyons was 26 years of age when he came to Manly and then took 12 months before he finally played 5/8. So he was actually 27 before he played 5/8. Prior to that he played almost exclusively lock. The Shu is only 22 years of age!!!!

    Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

    I know what you are saying and got to agree. My point would be imagine how damaging he would be if he was running even at half pace when he gets the ball. Imaging Haumole running more like Kikau!!!! Now there's a sight to behold....if you are a Manly supporter. I think that is a massive upside...

    Pre-Game Manly v Panthers [Round 5, 2024]

    Same. I think that humiliation and embarrassment from last week might just ironically be the ingredient to knock over the premiers at Brooky this week. I do however feel that DCE's game needs a minor restructure so will be interesting to see if the coach and the captain feel the same way...

    Honest but fair summary of today's game

    Good post. I also thought our middles played well just poor execution from our edge / backline guys. I don't think you will see that many number of mistakes in one game ever again (hopefully). For mine, I think Seibold needs to simplify Cherry's game. He looks like he has a lot going on in his...

    Post-Game Discussion Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Post of the year!!! Brilliant. Brought a smile to my face. I thought our middles played well. That's my only positive. Hopefully the rest of the team turns up next week against the Panthers.

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    Yes I am guilty of being a slightly biased and one eyed Sea Eagles supporter. I do think however this is more a reflection of how well our team has started the year and more specifically how well our forwards are going. Particularly the front row and especially with Lodge and Sips as backup. Yes...

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    I have not been his biggest fan since the Rainbow fiasco a couple of years back but got to say he is playing big minutes and playing really strong. With Taniela they are arguably the best front row in the comp. With Lodge and Sips looming on the bench, I think that would be a premiership winning...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    There are a few possible variations for the Shu. However I would be keeping it really simple for him with a view of getting him more focused and fitter. He could be really destructive in that middle of the park in and amongst the big boys particularly as they get tired. Gives us a whole new...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Well said @Bearfax and totally agree it's a confidence thing with the Shu. Lots of contributing factors here that would destroy anyone's self confidence but not the least of which has been his varying / changing position(s) in the team. I think they have nailed it this weekend by naming him at...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Another great performance against another Top 4-8 side. Really impressed with our forwards who I thought hammered the more fancied Roosters pack. I said earlier in the year that Brooks will be the buy of the season and can only repeat that. What I really liked was that DCE and Tommy had...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Our Recruitment and Retention team have made some really smart decisions last 6 months. This is is one of their best. I know Tuilagi played out of position in the Eels game on Friday night but wow some seriously bad defence and slow pace there. Surely had to be playing injured???

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Me to. You only need to go back to the trials a few weeks back when our reserve grade side almost beat their close to full strength star studded 1st grade side. That's when Young got injured. This time they play our big boys in front of a capacity crowd at Brooky. Hence my good vibes for Sunday...

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    I think you got the score line right but I see it going the other way. Loved our 1st up game against Souths and thought our forwards stood up really well especially when the chips were down. A real solid look around Tom this year but thought Brooks was an absolute revelation in the halves. The...
