    [Resurrected] jason king

    I'd been thinking about this highlight - one of the rare Northern Eagles highlights I can remember - ever since this thread arose from the dead. Again, pretty early on in King's career, and what a great way to announce himself. Thanks for posting!

    Have any VHS tapes of 1993 Manly games?

    I was at that game. Wasn't much else to cheer about from a Manly perspective that afternoon. But man, Elsegood had such a great rookie year. I remember one try, very early on in the season, where he took the ball from a tap and put on an outrageous side step to break through the line and score...

    Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?

    Everything will be clear by season's end. Right now, we can go one of two ways: find some form, string a few wins together (doesn't even need to be that many given current ladder positions) and end up inside the top eight, or continue to explore new levels of mediocrity and wind up missing the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Pleasantly surprised to see we're sticking with Jazz and Simpkin at hooker.

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    So now we have at least two more than we did a few days ago. @XV-1, you should start threads like this one more often!

    I hate the bloke, so I'd much prefer he stuck with your lot.:-) But I also heard the Cowboys (who will need a hooker next year) are another potential destination.

    We are the masters of bidding against ourselves.

    Just followed your link, Andrew. Somebody else has chimed in and is now saying he's gone to the Bulldogs. Even though I have no idea who he is, I'll be disappointed if that's right. :-)

    @AndWeDon'tCare has just outed himself as Phil Gould. Welcome, Phil!

    Agree that we are probably not an attractive option for young talent at the moment, but in fairness, neither are the Eels. Really, 9.75 times out of 10, it all comes down to money. If we'd offered more money than the Eels offered, he would have come here.

    This. Simpkins is an actual hooker. Will he ever be the world's best hooker? Probably not, but he puts in, has shown an ability to learn and improve, and the team looks better when he is out there. The position has to be his for the rest of the season.
