    SBW heading back to Rorters

    So SBW will be paid $150K by the Rorters. After tax he would clear about $110K Apparently flights are $13K each x 5 people = $65K. Isolation bill for 2 weeks at least $6K for the family. Then accommodation rental in a Bondi penthouse for 4 months. Not much left .... or do the Rorters/Uncle Nic/...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Parramatta [Round 10, 2020]

    Five things Id like to see this week. Jake not taking a settler one off the ruck on the 4th tackle when we are in the red zone. Garrick kicking at100% after a week of solid practice. Croker, Cust and Levy taking the pressure off DCE by kicking in general play. A try from a kick. Must be only...

    Annesley admits Manly should have been given a penalty in his opinion

    I dont agree that the ref was blameless in this. Both he and the touchie saw the incident. That is why he sent it to the videoidiot to see if it was a penalty try. He should have said that if it wasnt a penalty try he was considering a prof foul and penalty. This is what usually happens. The ref...

    1977 Jersey Flegg Side

    Went through Balgowlah Boys with Ross. Finished in 1975 so he was 18 then. He played Union then with Phil Cox who was in our year and Mitchell Cox who was a year behind.

    Poor Hex!

    I wish Parra would sign him.

    6 Again

    It still means a quick play the ball and the tackler is out of the next play if they just roll away. Needs to be a way of rewarding a good tackle around the legs.

    6 Again

    This is what Des was more concerned about straight after the game rather than the ' forward pass. Think it was the same sort of count last week. This is another way that refs can influence a game with discretionary decisions. The penalty against Marty early also shows how one on...

    Who is the big boy on the left?

    Over the past two years Manly have quietly gone about building the best young group of forwards in the league. Waddell, jetski, saddler, keppie, boyle, sipley, Olakau'atu and Paseka have been recruited to join the five established first graders. 2020 will see the benefits of this recruiting.

    Rule Changes

    The argument against one point for the losing team after golden point is that it would mean that there would be three points allocated to these games rather than two points to all other games. I would like to see 3 points a win and two points to the winners in extra time and one point to the...

    Is there any signing verifications? And Top 30.

    Clubs had to submit 25 names last week. I think it is then 28 prior to the season, then 30 by June 30. I think that the 30 originally posted will be very close to our final squad depending on what happens with hooker position. Any other club only have one new player that wasn't in their system...

    2019 Rumoured and confirmed signings (NON-DISCUSSION THREAD).

    They have signed Williams the English half back and will have to upgrade Bateman and probably others after making GF.

    ESPN say Sea Eagles biggest threat in 2020

    Todd's list of things to do once GF was over would have included finding a way to hamper our chances in 2020. 2017 deny compensation for the injury retirement of Brett and Steve. $1.2 million off salary cap. 2018 $330 off cap plus refuse compensation for myles retirement $500K. 2019 $330 cap...

    Happily, Manly sign Turbo brothers!!!

    There was an article last week where a journo was saying that the Roosters roster was valued about 1.8 mil over the cap but then tried to explain it away by saying that some players would play for less to be at a club with a chance of winning the comp and also it improved their chances of making...

    Does the Game have to be so fast?

    A few ideas. Reduce the interchange to 6. Will lead to more space for the creative players later in games. 5 points for a try and 1 for a conversion. Will reduce the possibility of draws (and would have given us the win on Saturday!) Why should a team try that ends with a try in the corner be...

    Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 8, 2019]

    If anyone had suggested at the start of the season that we would be favourites to win this game with ten of our contracted backs out (Turbo, Walker, Jorge, DCE, Anderson, Funa, Cust, Smith, Jnr Hoppa and Hodgo) they would have been shouted down. Shows how far the team has come in just 8 weeks.

    Inglis ****show will be interesting

    It isn't Brett and Steve Matai that this should be compared with but Myles last year. He announced his retirement and I assume wasn't paid by Manly but his $500 K salary was included in our cap. This is supposedly to stop clubs oaying players for long term contracts to get them to sign.

    Sharks trial moved due to Brookvale playing surface

    Just watched part of the womens soccer grand final at Kogarah. Field looked very worn in a lot of areas. Wonder if Telegraph will have a story and photos on Monday.

    Scariest players - Now & Then

    The toughest forward pack I have seen was the Eagles '72 side. Randall, Reilly and O'Neill will always be in the list of the hardest men to play league. Add Alan Thomson who was a tough tackling second rower, Herman Hamilton who was a man mountain and Freddy Jones who was an old fashioned tough...

    What's you favourite play that you don't see anymore?

    Kicking duels. Sometimes would last for a few minutes. The forwards loved them as they just stood in a ring around the kicker daring them to run the ball. Saw one at the SCG. Think it was against Saints. The fullback spilt the ball and Herman Hamilton picked it up and strolled over.

    ”Horhay” Tafua

    I am happy for Jorge to be on one wing as he is a great finisher and carries the ball well on kick returns. I think the criticism of him under the high ball is a bit exaggerated. Having said that I would hope that he has 15 minutes taking high balls under pressure at every training session and...
