    Kick off change

    At least we can agree on something. Go Manly.

    I will be absolutely shocked if Jake Arthur can turn into a good lock. He would need to put on 20kg of muscle to defend in the middle and bend the line. I do like the out of the box thinking though and i do agree Jake T needs to be moved from 13.

    Kick off change

    I'm surprised you didn't stop watching the game after the shoulder charge was eliminated. Sounds like the kickoff change will be the final nail in the coffin for you.

    Kick off change

    There should be a middle ground to make subtle changes when it makes sense in the game. But given your tone of your response I guess that's something you don't care about.

    Kick off change

    If it makes the game safer for the players, then I'm good with it.

    I think you have summed up the Woods experience well.

    Was he asked to leave from them or released? Not sure what you are getting at?

    I'll take the side of 4 different employers.....absolutely. Thats just common sense. But hey maybe its them and not him? And that's nothing personal as i said I'm ok having Lodge on the team if it's low risk for Manly i.e. low dollar, short duration contracts.

    Lodge didn't get shafted by the Roosters. He was let go because they didn't want him on the team. He did what he has always done in his career at Easts. Starts off well through his power and intimidation and then wears out his welcome. It has happened 4 times now. I'm ok giving the guy another...

    Agree that the forwards look better this year. Sipley in particular has turned from a fringe first grader to a really impactful player in the last 9 months. Aloiai is also somewhere back to his best (although littered with poor discipline). Brown has been impressive in a short sample size. Back...

    I think Lodge's two-game performance last year has been pretty glorified on Silvertails. I'm ok to have him on low coin at the club but those who think he is going to be a game-changer throughout a season will be disappointed. I'll take a 9-year sample size over 2 games.

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

    Thats what we all said before last game...and we still lost!

    Agree Mark. This would have perhaps got messy in court and Manly might have had to pay him all or most of the contract out if it went Schuster's way. We just don't know. At least now Manly can move on.

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

    The world is a better place when Sharon Woods isn't named in the 17.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    It has been hard to get a big name when we don't have the money as have been paying the big 3 contracts and then upgrading all of the younger guys coming through. We haven't lost any big name players in the last few years (since AFB). To do that takes up most of the cap. DCE, Turbo, Jake...
