    Pre-Game Manly v Dragons [Round 18, 2021]

    I don't know if Saab's ever played full back but he's very good under a bomb and has the sort of (Brett like) blinding speed that can create an overlap from nothing. I know next to nothing about his positional play in defence but I imagine he'd have the speed to get across in cover. Could be...

    SOO Game III [2021] - Discussion thread.

    Congrats to the Queenslanders. Played with their usual passion and deserved the win. Now we know how important Cleary and Luai are to the Blues. Every so often Hunt just has one of those games. Let's hope he doesn't have another one for at least a week.

    Sex deprived players are a serious danger to NRL bubble

    Please don't tell Cam. The NRL is under enough financial stress without having to buy his missus another bl##dy ring.

    Sex deprived players are a serious danger to NRL bubble

    Exactly my thought. The brothels of Kalgoorlie are located in the middle of a desert and should be relatively free of Covid.

    I've never really understood that saying. Do they mean that your lucky if you live in interesting times or do they mean your unlucky if you live in interesting times or do they mean may you survive interesting times. May you make it through the Mongol invasion / opium wars / cultural revolution...

    I must admit that I didn't se the game (no Foxtel where I am at the moment) I just listened to it on ABC radio. The callers made it sound pretty dull and spent a lot of the time talking about mistakes and how badly the chooks were playing. You can sometimes get a very entertaining match when...

    I agree. A clever and entertaining ploy to eat up the last few seconds of a close game. Probably the only memorable moment from what was a pretty ordinary game.

    Let's move the comp and all the teams to Betoota. The Advocate can add some journalistic integrity to the coverage. Set up a tent city for all the players and their families. Fence the place like its full of illegal immigrants. A rolled up swag, a billy on the fire, stout boots and big hats...

    Johnson awarded a try where he had no more control than Scorpio last night. Knight given a free pass after taking off the head of a Cowboys player while a Cowboy gets 10 for hitting the head of a falling player. There's no home ground advantage like a red and green jumper. They're a good...

    Suli has to go!

    On the plus side I think we're all agreed on which players we should lend to the Dragons.

    Never Again

    I agree about the game (realistically) being a dead rubber and the advantages of building up some more reserves, but there was no good reason for moving Scorpio from the centres and naming Walker at half ahead of Cust. Altogether some very strange choices.

    Des what were you thinking?

    I can appreciate the argument that we're desperately short of troops and it was worth the risk of playing Suli and Jetski just to get some time into their legs incase they are needed later but, by the same measure, why was Cust left on the bench till the team was cooked. The one position we...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

    I like Des and I have faith in Des but he made some strange and detrimental team selections tonight. As he did against the Knights. I don't know why he keeps selecting running backs in the halves. Cust or Froggy would probably have been much better at half. In saying that, though, the Raiders...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

    Agreed. Halfback has to be the least selfish player on the field. His try assists should be five times more than his tries. We ran out with the most selfish player in the comp at 7 and left a genuine half on the bench till the game was lost.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

    Desperation option. If Cust had been put on before desperation measures were the only option he could have steered us to victory. Instead we went with the most selfish player in the league wearing the 7.

    Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

    This is a good game provided a couple of positives come from it. Firstly sell Suli to any team stupid enough to pay his salary. Secondly only name playmates in the halves.

    Why hasn't Suli been hooked?
