I'm starting to feel sorry for the refs . .
I think most of the "high" tackles are because there are three tacklers trying to stop the ball carrier. How can you wrap your arm around when you are shoulder-to-shoulder with a fellow defender? Also, most of the bad head injuries happen in head clashes between friendly fire. If the refs gave...- The Who

An officer of the Tactical Response Group is respected. Can't say that about a referee.- The Who

I'm starting to feel sorry for the refs . .
Oh, I forgot in my original diatribe to include a further artifical imposition placed on NRL refs: Having to remember the names of every player! No longer "Number 13, out here now!" Can you imagine how much time they must spend learning the players' names? It must be like tedious schoolwork. I...- The Who

I'm starting to feel sorry for the refs . .
I know. There must be something wrong with me. But the expectations we are placing on the on-field ref are unrealistic. The poor buggars have to deal with rule changes every week. Crackdowns on transitory issues. Bunker clowns in their ears. Doctors diagonising from their divans. Dopey...- The Who

All NRL Games [Round 9, 2025]
I'm pleased Manly isn't playing in Magic round for two main reasons: 1. The rules around high contact/sin bins/send offs will be changed in some way due to the current backlash and officiating will be a magical mystery experience. We can sit back, watch the mayhem and laugh as some teams get...- The Who

Why Manly are the most frustrating team in the NRL
Yeah, we are wedded to a frustrating team. But I reckon the most infurating team to follow is the 'Tits. They score outstanding tries and regularly jump to impressive leads. But every 'Tit fan must know that disaster is only one set away. Their defence is shaky at best, and opposition teams...- The Who

Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]
I thought Jazz proved himself to be a more effective lock than Jurbo, who should now only be considered as a front-rower.- The Who

Manly Needs a Full Reset
Bulldogs also were among the two worst clubs in the premiership for a few years. Then the Leagues Club and sponsors tipped in buckets of cash, above and beyond the Cap yet 'mysteriously' hidden from NRL auditors (if there is such a thing). At least we've never won a wooden spoon. I'd suggest, if...- The Who

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Agreed. I've tipped against Manly in the past three matches, hoping to be wrong. I'd much rather a Manly win than earning a point in my tipping competition. Sadly, I feel our season is cooked, again. I had thought we'd finish 5th or 6th but I've lost all confidence in a revival. I imagine I'm...- The Who
