    Anymore signings?

    Wow that is very optimistic. Here's hoping mate. But if we had Dally M winner, wing, prop and rookie of the year, a backrower in top 10 try assists and another scoring lots of tries, we'd surely have to finish higher then 5-7! We'd have to be in contention to win the thing with a year like that!!!

    What will our new recruits deliver

    Mate, I've played 6 before.. I am definitely not a 6 :giggle: How much has he played there? Was it because he was a first choice half, or because he was 'filling in'? Same argument applies to Api IMO as well. Only played 6 because of the bad injury toll at the Panthers, never a first choice...

    What will our new recruits deliver

    I've not seen much of Parcell, but really don't like the idea of him playing 6 if he is a 9. Correct me if I'm wrong, all the success he's had so far is at 9? He's played very little else other than 9? Why would we throw him in at 6 at NRL level? I don't even see many transferable skills...

    ISC Jerseys - 2014 to 2015

    Yeh I've noticed this as well, I have a couple of jerseys from years gone-by and this years is definitely thinner and lighter. I actually prefer the change it feels more comfortable when I train in them or lounge round in them. Although I can fully understand it does have a cheaper feel with the...

    You're right. We were buzzed early season about getting some gun forwards with supposed our war chest left by foz, and one by one they signed elsewhere or resigned. Now we're left with 'if and maybe' forwards again. 'If Myles plays in a champion team again he'll find his Qld form' 'Maybe...

    Look I completely agree with you that we need a big prop forward to really challenge, a Tamou or Moa or Tapau would get me very excited and that should be our primary recruitment target without a doubt. But I don't buy that we are useless without a big pack and that's including the signings...

    New Team for 2016 season

    I am still unsure about the no. 6 shirt next year. It's a funny one because Killer has openly admitted he hates playing 5/8th and at his age it would mean he would be seeing his career out in a position he's clearly not happy with when he should be able to enjoy that time if you get me? I think...

    Hodges

    Thanks for the info guys, seems the kid might be dynamite, hope he gets a fair crack, I am keen to see him play.

    What's Parcell like? Anyone got any raps on him? Seen virtually nothing of him.

    GAME DAY - Manly v Rorters [Round 25, 2015] Toovey Farewell Tour

    Hands up, I was one of the ones who believed Hodges was worthy of a bench spot throughout this year. Thrown in at the deep end last year and performed admirably, was it something like 50 tackles v dogs. Showed some guts, whilst not being the final product. But jeeeez he has been disappointing...

    GAME DAY - Manly v Rorters [Round 25, 2015] Toovey Farewell Tour

    Reffing has been poor, particularly for their second, but blaming them is bulls***... Jesus, we've had 5 sets on their line and barely looked like a threat, they've had 3 and scored 3, there's no excuse for that pile of crap goal-line D. Attack is slow and predictable and D is weak. Toxic...

    Memorable Manly tries 2004-2014

    The guy who made this video has a youtube channel called - 'tech-flo'.. it's a bit random but he appears to be fond of Manly and there is a few more really good vids on there, like a 17 minute Snake one, a montage of Killer and Matai for about 15 mins, amongst others. Check it out, definitely...

    Non-Manly Games [Round 24, 2015]

    Hate the dogs, is there an all-rounded grubbier team in the NRL at the moment? I thought when Ennis left they'd cool it, but players like Reynolds have actually gone backwards because they're more bothered about being a grub than actually playing football. Wa*kers.

    Non-Manly Games [Round 24, 2015]

    I was just going to post the same thing. I tipped at the start of the year that Souths wouldn't be anywhere near as successful this year because he was their backbone. When the going gets tough they all turned to him, if he didn't give them that lift in the GF then the momentum was all with the...

    We won't make the Top 8

    Does nobody fancy Tigers to beat the Dragons. Though Dragons were p**s poor tonight. Wests are awesome one week and woeful the next, let's hope they land on a good week.

    Rangi chase 2

    He's a classic big fish in a small pond type of character, he's also a sulker. Would be a big gamble and I don't know if he's motivated enough to make the step up to this level.

    tom t for hiku

    I can't remember all of those penalties specifically, but being penalised is not something new for us this year and it stems from the same problems. Losing contact means we have no control over the ruck and we get pinged for holding down or interference. It actually is part of the pattern...

    Defensive line speed

    Agreed. But we don't have the time to get back to our line, get set and get up at them because they win the contact and offload/play the ball too quick. We get caught at sixes and sevens and just don't have the defensive structure to cope.

    tom t for hiku

    Same old pattern appearing again. We get some good ball and apply some pressure and appear to be getting on top - make an error, gift opposition the ball, our defence flounders and they score. Seen it all year. Our problems start in the middle - either they dominate the tackle and get a quick...

    Sam Moa

    I fall somewhere in between on this debate. I actually like Starling quite a bit. I think he required that first season in first grade to bed in and at the end of last year found some real form and dare I say mongrel. Mobile, good engine and honest (e.g. chase back v couple of outside backs...
