    [Resurrected] what the f**k is wrong with our club

    I don't think it is just Manly. There's something seriously off with the NRL game itself. Too many games are utter rubbish. Too much bunker, six agains and too much stoopid rules etc.

    [Resurrected] what the f**k is wrong with our club

    17K sell outs, even if it is very home game every season, pales badly when compared to every other club except Sharks, Dragons & Wests. Dogs will have a Good Friday crowd better than three Brookie sell outs. Long term, Manly are stuffed unless somehow Brookie is grown to 30K. That seems very...

    Fair enough. I was clumsily trying to say there's more tries being scored now. Sixty points a game whether 50-10 or 32-28 is not rugby league. It is some other junk football code. It is bordering on AFL.

    The 1997 Sea Eagles made a grand final in a season where they lost 41 (7 tries) to 8 vs Norths. Factor in how the NRL in 2025 is a 2x or 3x higher points scoring league than footy in 1997. A 50 point loss in 2025 is a 30 point loss 20 years ago. A 48-24 is more like 36-18 in 1990s or 20-5 in...

    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Sadly games against Storm are never a two-sided contest. Storm are playing today not only against Manly, but also the 3rd member of this tri-sided contest, the rules and officials and trying to either milk them or get the better of them. Yes, Harry Grant, I'm looking at you.

    NRL Games [Round 5, 2025]

    NRL go to Vegas and boast our players aren't scared they have "no helmets". Now back home they penalise all the players for love taps to the unprotected head due to being scared everyone will get sued. American probably asks, and maybe soon the law companies, so why aren't you NRL wearing...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Good omen. Found this wonderful SMH newspaper pic from Rd 3 in 2005 while clearing out old stuff yesterday. Surprised it hasn't seemingly been used again anywhere since 2005. Is the game-winning try in Manly's 25-18 victory over Storm. Looking back it is arguably THE moment Manly's 2005 to 2014...

    Manly Trivia

    In 1978 Johnny Gibbs kicked a field goal to give Manly a 1-0 lead vs Sharks (about 14m 10s in the video). In 1986 it was repeated when Cliff Lyons kicked a field goal vs Canberra to give Manly a 1-0 lead. Try it in 2025 and the media will create an uproar about spot fixing betting allegations.

    Dr Google found ex Kiwi international Gene Ngamu being involved with Manly Oval, so it probably is him at Brookie. Thank you to former Kiwis league international Gene Ngamu who, as the Green Options Landscape Management lead groundsman at Manly Oval, played a crucial role in supporting our club...

    Seibs should be calling his old England RU five-eighth Owen Farrell. Point to SBW example and it's time to challenge yourself in league. He is from Wigan. Son of Andy Farrell. And he is talent.

    Manly have only ever won a grand final with an ex Manly player as coach. Go knock on the Clearys door and see if father and son want to try a new challenge for 2026 on.

    I keep thinking this DCE is as much about feeding traditional and social media as anything else. This has happened to Manly before with Hasler, Fulton and Lyons all not offered new contracts. World didn't end. After 257 games for the Manly club over 12 seasons, Manly did not offer Hasler a...
