    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Can't recall who but two of the talking heads on FOX both commented that Manly seem to have a method in their tackling that is more of "hitting" in the tackle rather than the "cuddle or wrestle". Different enough for them to note it. Whether we can sustain it is the issue as well as offloaders...

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    True, but the problem is say, Jake takes those extra three steps, albeit slowly and Moretti slides with him also. Is he still deemed to be in the defensive line even though it's staggered. It could be argued that he had stopped at the point of contact by Moretti also, again a staggered line...

    So he should, if RCG doesn't come as 4th man in, nothing happens except the penalty

    Rule changes

    Not to mention the "helllld!" call. How many times do we hear it, yet the tacklers are still working the ball carrier or put them on the ground?

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    We were up 14-0 after what, 15 minutes? We had 90% of the ball in that time. Anyone knows that it wouldn't stay that way, when possession swung their way so did the scoreboard, three tries each at h/t and possession was pretty even. The referee always has an influence when possession is 50/50...

    Is Brandy the biggest knob ever ?

    Agree. The weird thing is that the bunker rule on "black and white", not feel or interpretation whereas the on field ref does. Why does the on field ref have some latitude on interpretations of decisions but the video ref doesn't? They are referees also so why are they hamstrung when in the...

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    Both Origin affected teams, we had no DCE or Jake and we know how influential they are to our chances.

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    Yep, and the powers that be tell us that this is what we want! I'm going to watch footy FFS, I don't care what the WI-FI is like or if the pies are gourmet. Although $30 GA in the stadium is pretty good I don't get why the away bay is $65 and reserved seating, I suppose it's their way of...

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    $65 for adults, $50 for kids v $30 for adults, $15 for kids...BUT the cheaper areas are general admission areas. All other Bays/areas are reserved seating so as much as I like bashing Parra, the Away Bay is the same price really. Bronze $65 Silver $80 Gold $100 Either way, it's a stack of dosh...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Yep, but they were worth 2pts when tries were 3pts so why wouldn't you have shots? I just looked it up, Simms kicked something like 68 field goals in three seasons, no wonder they changed them to 1 point! Not to mention giving the opposition a seven tackle set if you miss now.

    Nathan Brown Impact?

    Interesting that his first three games for us just happen to be against his former clubs.

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    Yep, look at last weeks game for example. Croker got pulled for a forward pass from dummy half by the touchie - which was the correct call. Roosters get possession. Three tackles later, Smith throws a forward pass from dummy half even closer to the touchie and he let's it go, Roosters score in...

    Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    I'm sorry @Remy, the excitement of him making an impact is tempered by the deficiencies he has - Tafua at the end had more speed and upside than Ray does in my opinion. Moses and Brown will have a field day kicking to and in behind him. Surely Faulalo on debut would give us more to be excited...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Will be interesting to see which way Siebs goes this week replacing Talau. Does he go Koula on the wing, Burbo centre and Bully, Waddell or Parker. Or bring in yet another winger? Please not Ray though.
