    Simulation in the game

    One of the blights of todays game is the simulation or in other terms diving that is going on. We see all clubs do it, especially when there is a try on and a defender falls over if the slightest contact with a lead runner happens, it often occurs when that defender has either given up or has...

    Game Management

    I've had time to calm down and digest the result of todays game. The team did so much right, played so smart and times and so dumb at other times. All the hard work of the first half was undone by a pushed pass right on half time and the intercept killed the good work. Why on earth were we...

    Vale Keith Barnes

    Today we learn of the passing of Keith Barnes (Golden Boots). Born in Wales, emigrated to Australia and was one of the greatest fullbacks who played the game. A Balmain Tigers legend and leading point scorer, prolific goal kicker who won so many games for the Tigers. Outstanding work as a...

    The indiscipline at our club MUST stop!!!

    Here we are halfway through another season where it is obvious that our team is way behind its rivals in every facet of the game!! What really disturbs me is the total lack of discipline around the club. Right now rumours are leaking from the club about player movements and it is clear that all...

    Trouble within the club?

    I write this article knowing that emotions are high after witnessing last nights game. It seems to me that all is not well within the club for a few reasons. We have a new coaching team that is assessing the entire playing squad and trying to build a team moving forward that will be...

    Good signs so far!

    Trial form is just that, so you don't want to get too carried away and so far what we have seen is a breath of fresh air, the team looks hungry and free of the shackles and playing an expansive, exciting brand of football. I've said it for years that must encourage and nurture young players...

    We are so off the pace of the competition its not funny!

    Like all of us I had a great feeling to start the season that we were ready to challenge for the premiership and after 10 games which is a good measure, it is clear we are miles behind the top clubs. We started the season on the backfoot and the form has been very patchy and every time we meet...

    The power of a few

    It is interesting to see over the last few days how some of the elite players get their way. Latrell Mitchell was rightly rubbed out for 6 matches for his attack on former team mate when the Vermin played the chooks last time. The NRL has caved in and allowed him to return 1 round earlier due...

    Hub locations for NRL games

    I understand that the NRL is considering establishing some hubs away from Sydney to ensure that games get played for the last 8 weeks of the competition. It is clear that we are likely to be in some sort of lockdown for the next month minimum and restrictions will only be eased bit by bit. I...

    Ticket prices

    Like a lot of you, I am disappointed with the prices that we are being slugged to watch footy at Brooky this year. I just brought some tickets for the ANZAC day clash with the Tigpies at Bankwest and I purchased 4 tickets for 100 dollars. I do hope that next season the club really looks at the...

    Football Club AGM

    Tonight I attended the Football club AGM. This meeting was held tonight after the postponement in December due to the Covid 19 outbreak on the Northern Beaches. What was great about the meeting is we had Stephen Humphries, the CEO of the Sea Eagles do a speech and take questions from the crowd...

    My favourite Manly supporter moments.

    Over the last 45 years I have loved this club and I want to start a chat about the top Manly supporter moments that we love. The 1978 grand final winning team will always be the team I love the most. What that team had to endure to win the premiership against all the odds stands out as a side...

    We are always the victim and it's never our fault!

    I had a bit of a chuckle today when Scam Smith said that he blames David Gallop for the salary cap scandal where his beloved Drizzle cheated their way to premiership success and the expense of our club and the rest of the competition. History has a habit of sometimes overlooking the facts of...

    Why is the club not targeting a quality number 9 signing?

    As we are all aware its very much the silly season in relation to rumours and signings for next season. You would of thought that after the disaster of the 2020 season that the clubs biggest priority would be to sign a seasoned number 9. I think it is a dangerous ploy to assume that the team...

    No where to run, no where to hide!

    Well it takes an absolute thrashing to highlight our deficiences, short comings and problems as a club! I saw only a few players having a dig tonight and too many passengers once again who made it very easy for the Vermin tonight. To lose 56 points is a shower. Not since 2005 have we conceded...

    Evolve or perish?

    I witnessed last nights match and what really stood out for me is the evolution of the two teams out there last night. I saw a Penrith side full of youthful exhuberance, powerful, energetic, fast and a solid game plan based on hard running and astute game management from an inform halves...

    This team has not got it!

    Four weeks ago our team was so strong, resilient and aggressive. What I see right now is a negative and passive team. Our defence in general has been quite solid but week after week its being asked to do too much work as our issues right now are what we do when we have the ball. Our team has...

    Under the radar and dealing with adversity

    The thing that I saw today was Manly show great adaptability to change their game plan with 30 minutes to go and keep the game plan simple after losing Tommy. The leadership our pack showed as a collective really stood out for me as they showed how much they are improving as a unit. If you had...

    Vale - Noel Kelly

    This evening we learned that Noel Kelly ex Western Suburbs player from their great era in the 1960s and also captain and coach of Wests in that eras and also a distinguished career as a Kangaroo. My memories of him are his time with Rex Mossop on controversy corner on Channel 7 in the 70s and...

    The Sheridan Stand at the SCG and what it meant to me!!

    I started following Manly in the 1970s and in that era Manly were regular finalists and always a threat to win the premiership. I started followng around 1975 and I got my first taste of the Sheridan Stand in 1976 when Manly battled the berries in the preliminary final and a Bozo drop goal...
