    Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    The single biggest reason why we lost to them last time round. I hope Dymock and co have prepped our boys appropriately for first contact - wrap the fkn ball up boys! Rip in Manly

    Kick off change

    And this can all be traced back to literally one moment in the game's history: Bellamy deploying the wrestle. So effective that the game evolved into this mess. As you say, if the NRL are so keen to tamper, then they should be rewarding classic technique, and certainly not penalising it! Ffs

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Obviously I agree with you re his, almost inconceivable, actions in NY. I am not attempting to defend him, nor am I in a position to truly judge him either. Simply, I come on here to chat footy. He's a good player. I'm not saying he's a good person. I love Manly. Does his inclusion in our team...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    I see some here taking sides with his previous employer without knowing the details, fair enough I suppose. And others throwing out stats, working very hard I might add, to understate his influence. It's quite clearly personal, because anyone who watches footy for the sake of footy can see he's...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Surprised to read some comments re Lodge. Broncos 2018-19 he was an absolute weapon, followed by a little dip after injury (around the Brisbane to NZ to Bondi transitions). Roosters 2022 he almost single handedly carried the Roosters into the finals. At this point, he was being seriously...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    This is good to know. As we most likely won't be recruiting for 2024, 400k of the 600k owing can be written off this year. This means we have an additional 2.2Mil for 2025-2027

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Yes true, talking ball park just to get a sense of the calibre of our new recruit.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Well in fact the Schu payout means we can get an edge forward of the same calibre as Lawton. $400k/yr vs $600k/yr in quality

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    $1MIL for a month of pre-season training and playing 3 reserve grade games?! ($400k + $200k + $200k + $200k) Also, 2021 was the season he was fit and focused in the backrow all year - the year after Keith died. He wasn't Keith's only friend in the team, nor is he the only big body. Not trying...

    Garricks performance at centre

    I reckon that's spot on. Garrick has a high footy IQ. I remember him struggling on the wing, and he learnt. I remember him struggling at fullback, and he learnt. I reckon this time next year, he could be on a similar trajectory as a val holmes...possibly. he's always managed to figure it out. If...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Stats are like mini skirts...gold

    Garricks performance at centre

    Our right centre needs to be particularly strong defensively next to our captain, or a mind reader!, to compensate for DCE's erratic decision making. I feel for Garrick as it's probably the toughest gig in the NRL these days lol.

    Lodge, you Monster

    First game in 9 months, and in 43mins, he made 16 runs for 131m (43m post-contact), 2 tackle breaks, a faster play-the-ball than Nella, 23 tackles (2 misses, 0 ineffective), 0 errors, 0 infringements. You're personal hatred of the lad clouds your footy judgement. When fit, he's clearly one of...

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

    I think we should be a little cautious when talking about our win/loss so far. After 7 games last year, we were also 4 wins and 1 draw. It's still way too early to be giving ourselves a pat on the back. Our defence is horrible. In fact, we are letting in more tries per game than last year, and...

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

    100% especially on our highly experienced leadership group - particularly DCE and Turbo. We need them fired up and focused
