    The jersey debacle: Why did nobody work towards a compromise?

    At this point I think it's safe to say that everyone in the world is aware that the Manly club buggered up the implementation of the Everyone In League jersey to the point that it will be used as a case study in how not to do things in a rugby league club for years to come. And one of the...

    Ian Roberts on "Mr Inbetween"

    Any other Silvertails fans of "Mr Inbetween"? Just watched the first episode of the new (and final) season, with Ian Roberts doing an excellent job in a guest role. Matt Nable is also a regular, so at one stage there were two ex-Sea Eagles on the screen. Can't think of any other Aussie series...

    Time for an ownership change?

    Yes, Trent can't coach, and most of our players can't play. But does anybody really think a change in coach is going to magically make us competitive again? Given this is a results-driven business, do the Penns need to go? Does anybody think they actually have a longterm vision for the club? Are...

    While we're at it…

    … How bad was it to watch Gutho as the winning captain in the Eels' press conference? I was overseas when he was moved on and couldn't understand what the hell happened, and it makes even less sense to me now than it did back then. I never bought the argument that it was him or Tommy, that there...

    No stream of the PM's XIII/PNG game?

    I'm sure I read somewhere that the NRL site was going to stream the game but I can't find any sign of it. Anyone know what's going on?

    What else needs to happen? Or will changing our coach be enough?

    If the team keeps losing (and there's pretty much no reason right now to think they won't), it's likely Barrett will be fired. Results driven business and all that. But will that be enough? Will any other coach be able to operate in the environment the management/owners seem to have created...

    Login and other issues

    I've been in the US over the last month, browsing from an iPad on the road. Works okay, but I noticed every time I tried to mark the football forum as read, the animated icon in the top left corner would pop up but nothing would happen. Site wouldn't time out but would simply sit there. I...

    Dear Joe Kelly, Scott Penn and Scott Penn's beard trimmer

    Just a quick heads-up to let you know that if you sacrifice Geoff Toovey in an attempt to mask your own incompetence and replace him with Nathan Brown or Trent Barrett or anyone else (but especially Brown or Barrett - I mean, please…) I really won't be very happy about it. I'll also stop taking...

    Neil Evans leaving?

    Small piece in the "Telegraph" today about our media manager, Neil "Stumpy" Evans leaving over a contract dispute with David Perry. I thought he did a great job and will be sorry to see him go.

    Was Matai injured?

    None of the commentators mentioned anything but I noticed Matai was missing from the field towards the end of the second half. Looked like Tommy Symonds was playing centre. Was Stevie hurt or was I seeing (or not seeing) things?

    New threads/replies not updating

    Hey Dan, Having trouble in the league forum where the thread display isn't being updated. Every time I visit the site it looks as if all threads have been read (or marked as read) even though they haven't. Cleared the cache and cookies on my main browser (Safari 6 on OS X) and it's still...

    Anthony Watmough, Unlikely Voice of Reason

    OK, so who's been writing Choc's dialogue with reporters over the last few days? Every word he says not only makes perfect sense, he's so calm and level-headed about the whole situation it's not funny. It's as if he's suddenly become a Zen Master or something. As others have said, he's emerging...

    Do referees not penalise marker defenders anymore?

    Noticed not just in our game but a couple of other games over the weekend that it's seemingly impossible to get a penalty these days for marker defenders not being square. Is this all part of Bill Harrigan's "no penalties" approach to the game?

    Buhrer and Oldfield in Origin camp

    Just noticed this piece in the Telegraph: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/tariq-sims-gets-taste-of-blues-big-time/story-e6frexv9-1226073916003 Oldfield and Buhrer, along with Tariq Sims and a couple of others, have been given a taste of the Origin camp.

    Anyone else think the Roosters will beat the Tigers?

    Just going through tipping options for this week and in the upsets department I'm leaning towards the Warriors over the Titans and the Roosters over the Tigers. I know the Warriors are frustratingly inconsistent but I also figure the Titans are overrated and their form of late has been poor...

    Watmough accused of slapping sponsor

    From the Herald: http://www.leaguehq.com.au/news/news/watmough-slaps-sponsor/2009/03/07/1235842667742.html This is getting ridiculous . . . JUST days after his man-of-the-match performance in Manly's World Club Challenge triumph over Leeds, the rugby league player Anthony Watmough's playing...

    Beaver on a Sunday afternoon?

    Now that Beaver's announced he's leaving I'm very keen for my twin boys (who are about to turn two) to see the great man in action while they've still got the chance. As I always say, you're never too young for a glimpse of Beaver. The problem is we need a Saturday or Sunday afternoon game...

    Moving to the northern beaches

    Hi guys, After several years in the eastern suburbs (I know, I know) the wife and I, now with twin boys in tow, are moving to Frenchs Forest. The best part is our boys will grow up in close proximity to Brookvale Oval. Anyway, I've never lived in the area before (the closest I got was Neutral...

    Police Call Off Search for Watmough

    Found this over at Fire Up, the blog of the FBI radio show: http://fireuptoeyhumans.blogspot.com/ Sure it's a little late, but it's still funny. Police Call Off Search for Watmough Rugby league: Police today called off their search for Manly rugby league player Anthony Watmough, who is...

    Watmough

    How good was Anthony Watmough's game yesterday? Big hits and great clean up work in defence, and lots of metres in attack. And best of all - no mistakes. There were a lot of good backrowers out there yesterday (BK, Beaver, Waterhouse, Puletua), but Watmough was probably the best on the field...
