    Finals Week 1 - Non Manly Games

    The Broncos have been surprisingly good the past few weeks and have been hanging tough. I think they're a great chance to upset the Cowboys who weren't quite as impressive as they were made out to be last week.

    Storm vs Bulldogs next week

    Really interested to see how this match pans out. Ben Roberts the player is the equivalent of Ricky Stewart the coach...he keeps failing but still gets a gig. If Widdop was still with the Storm they'd be a good chance to win the competition , but Ben Roberts makes too many diabolical mistakes at...

    Post Match Analysis

    The last 20 minutes was basically touch football compared with the previous 60 . It's drawing a long bow to take anything out of it, but as a coach you have to search for anything positive. Toovey's demeanour at the presser said it all. Confusion reigned around the ruck in attack when Hodges...

    DCE didn't seem keen on taking the ball to the line all night. Foran however did and looked dangerous when doing so , even with a limited forward plaform . I'm talking about his mindset with the ball in hand.

    Post Match Analysis

    Taufua has been making the same mistakes under the high ball for 2 seasons now. He should have been taught by an AFL expert by now how to position his body to take a mark because that's most of the battle. If he loses the contest he should at least try to prevent grounding or dislodge the ball...

    Post Match Analysis

    A total of 40 missed tackles for the match by Manly continues the recent trend. There was too much arm grabbing suggesting an attitude problem . The defensive line speed was probably the slowest it's been all season.The forwards are not hunting as a pack. The long kicking games of DCE and Foran...

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    At least we finally had a utility back on the bench but despite Joey saying it was cover for Snake , it was to cover for Hiku moving to hooker if Hodges needed a spell .

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    Souths look like they have a bit of a plan B this year compared with last year's version. They have a bit more flair to use if they can't get the better of the grind.They've been auditioning for finals football the last few weeks by playing the match essentially in a corridor 10 metres either...

    Watmough [Merged Mega Thread]

    RE: Claims that Watmough agrees to 3yr Parra deal Choc's manager has obviously done a deal with Weidler/Channel 9 to provide a series of "exclusive" interviews a la Bec Hewitt and Woman's Day. He obviously has to come up with something interesting otherwise it's an epic fail. Hence the...

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    Souths might be flat from the Roosters game last week so it might be deja vu. I don't want to see Manly's forwards getting belted going 19 metres in 5 tackles coming off their line followed by DCE getting a kick away under extreme pressure (unless of course it's a 40/20 lol). Quick darts from...

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    Even if Snake plays I'd have Gutherson on the bench. He is a gun and will eventually play Origin .The back 3 are all carrying injuries and Toovey rarely uses all of the benchies anyway. If we lose any of the back 3 early on we are stuffed as the only options are Symonds or Horo to the wing...

    Tactics To Beat Souths

    A short passing game around the ruck with lots of angled runners (especially Watmough and Symonds) to keep the big Souths forwards off balance. Tuquiri to be tested at every opportunity as he has a propensity to come in off his wing unnecessarily and leak tries. He's also very slow to turn , so...

    Snake out, can it get any worse

    Foran just said in an interview that Snake's hamstring was tight after training yesterday. The same thing happened this time last year and he never fully recovered.

    Snake out, can it get any worse

    Gutherson's only just back from an extended lay-off with a broken foot , so it will be a big ask to play fullback. More likely Hiku to fullback and Gutherson to the wing .

    Tactics For The Cowboys

    Just as well Snake is playing because our strength is Snake chiming into the backline especially on the left forcing indecision in the defensive line. . A short inside ball to Snake from Matai or Foran might catch Lui out. .

    Tactics For The Cowboys

    The Cowboys right side defence is Lui/Moga/Feldt. Feldt is quite poor in defence positionally speaking , often leaving too big a space between himself and Moga. Expect Matai to attack this channel, or even Jorge running an outside/in line. I suspect most of the attack will be aimed there, and in...
