How cool that the Manly club has taken a direction bringing old legends back to mix with Todays team in 2023.... This is a great move that has been missing along with many other great concepts from the club. I say a Massive congrats to the Manly club building together and this type of thing is...

Interesting statement by Manly signing Tuipulotu for 2 more years today, as Garrick has a mortgage on the left wing so maybe the club has him ahead of the injured Saab ? Or maybe not an overly expensive player to have on the books, who they signed now as his price could well jump if Manly keep...

That's a good point to have a 2nd kicking option and I know blockers are illegal, but surely we can get better protection than last week, as they had a free shot at DCE and though the officials turned a blind eye to the offside defenders we allowed them access to him like a bull at a red cape...

Fair call as he has the zip to get down quick and there is no winger or fullback gunna run around that kid, he had a bad miss on Gutho last week, but the technique is there....just ask Sivo who he brutally cut in half !

Ok don't just hold them starting like monsters the first 15m, dish it out with even more venom so they know there's no bullying in this game unless it's Manly. Play the long game down their end and don't give them sets near the 20m zone so it limits that sweeping right hand side play. Give the...

No better on the chase then Foz, as he realises the importance of winning this battle all day will go a long way towards the winning result come full time. Foz made this a trademark through his career and let the player returning the ball know through contact, they were in for a "tough set" and...

Thing is, we all know how precious the officials can be in relation to pressure on a kicker and in general really, but if we are to contest against heavyweights, we are a long way to losing a footy game if no heat on Cleary, Reynolds, Moses types kicking games....need to be up in the face and...

Ok this comment has got me in trouble at home for years, but now let's talk footy !! Great win to Manly again against Eels, but this (little, BIG) area we were murdered and was the biggest key imo, that kept Eels in the game.... On tackle 5 when getting out of our end of the field, we now have...

I think it's great to start the season under a new coaching staff, vital positional changes to gain confidence and gel, but you want to beat the best to be the best. Definitely helps to start the season 2 - 0 and though these teams had a couple out, we will be a far stronger side next time we...

The theory is no doubt still there....thing is, with the modern day game and frantic speed...there are simply moments where attacking numbers will come at you 100 mph out wide with an overlap which actually started (inside) and the decision from my chair, while holding my 12th bourbon is easier...

Unfortunately - probably about right there Woodsie....do agree it's impossable to simply turn that tap off, as opportunities will no doubt open up there at stages. In truth - Iv'e always been of the belief the best way to minimise this issue, is to really dominate and control the speed in the...

No doubt and I think you forgot Guoc on the right side but here's the thing Just don't want a shootout every week to get the Win

That part is true....I feel if the determination and energy levels can be maintained, once fully fit we finally have a team that can be strong defensively. As stated that Souths right edge is a deadly attacking unit, so if Tuipulotu decides to rush in constantly will get murdered out...

This is exactly what gave the Eels a sniff to fight back.....a few offloads and ab lib style plays created havoc as it broke down the defensive line and we were not set, leading to a couple of poor 1 on 1 tackles that led directly to tries.

So the battle in the trenches was lost in the majority of games in 2022. Opposition was winning constant quick play the balls and blowing up our ruck area, before shifting wide for easy tries. Defensively contact was soft and often only hand grabs and 1 player involved n the tackle. As opposed...

The more Manly are not spoken about and swept under the carpet, the better.... This is a new improved version Not "Under the radar" Try " Not on the radar"

Tom is on Top by miles Daylight 2nd 3rd Teddy - Papp - Mitchell on any given day..... Walsh is the 1 on the climb, looks very dangerous in 2023 Like Edward's as your reliable all round fullback for value

I would expect Manly win 3 - 4 of these games based on form
