    Jamie Lyon and my pursuit of signature...

    A fellow Pom, St.Helens AND Manly fan. Obviously a very intelligent man. Agree regarding Lyon as well, best player I have ever seen in the RedVee, and one of the reasons I became a Manly fan as well. I was lucky enough to bump in to him in the club shop one day back in 06 shortly before the...

    Sam Moa

    Myles Ballin Moa/Tamou (IF either sign on) Brown Symonds Buhrer Api Mateo Jake Starling/Lussick. If our 2 new signings are myths, Jake T to start + Star/Lussick share bench spot. Think Lawrence is done (unfortunately) north of 30 with a serious injury, also don't think he's got near his 2013...

    Dunamis

    What he does he does well, but needs to do more of it. Also got form for dropping the ball a tad too often, I'm a fan though. He must play lock.

    LiveBlog GAME DAY - Manly v Rabbitohs Rd 16, 2015 [1295890]

    Our defence was very poor again tonight, as it has been all season, there is something systematically wrong with it, and effort and intensity will only take you so far. We work our arses off for 20 mins, finally break through and within minutes concede. Okay fair enough it came from an error...

    Ivan Cleary

    Tough call on Cleary. IF Tooves were to go I'd be happy with Cleary. I can understand why people would have doubts over him. But I think he's been to two clubs and taken them very far compared to where they were when he took over. I understand Manly has different demands than the other clubs do...

    Tooves and Hookers

    I don't think you can ever have a concrete style as a coach, I think you've got to look at your squad - which will change year in year out - and adapt to do what's best for those particular players, because that will be something completely different to all the other teams. So for our hooking...

    [Resurrected] What position did you / do you play ?

    I was not blessed with speed, agility or grace, and so I have always been doomed to the front row. Still play for my local side here in the UK - Pilkington's Recreational. Have had the honour of representing my county, Lancashire, and Great Britain at amateur level. The story I most fondly...

    Game Day Manly v Broncos [Round 13, 2015]

    I agree mate, but not just in this game I think it's been all season. We are around half way through now and we have just seen a performance that was as soft as the one we suffered through in round 1. People keep saying "we will turn this round" "get so and so back and we will be competitive"...

    2016/2017 forward pack

    Agree regarding Leary. Started off a little slow, but last few times he's been in the side he has been immense. Tackles well above his weight, energetic, great engine and with a little more size could be a handy weapon going forward. Also think he is better off starting the game rather than...

    The Turbos

    What strikes me about Jake aside from the obvious huge hits, great motor and strong running, is how cool he is with ball in hand. He carries the ball in 2 hands right until the last second, which is a tough ask when you're winding up in to some meat heads, keeps the opposition guessing and...

    LiveBlog GAME DAY - Manly v Penrith Round 10, 2015 [1292332]

    Frustrating because of the manor and timing of the defeat. Just as we get our tails up so to speak with back to back wins. Would have been nice to get a 3rd under our belt going in to the bye with a tough few rounds coming up. Few posters talk about realism. The reality is we have been...

    Ritchie Myler

    No worries mate.. lucky you, cause he's not worth the time @:D The better choice would be Ratchford from Warrington.. potential to be top drawer. Although wouldn't pin our hopes on any of the halves knocking about in Super League, there is a real lack of quality halves for that standard, never...

    Ritchie Myler

    This guy is terrible. Seriously not even good enough for the better teams in the ESL. The fans at Warrington can't stand him.. makes a highlight reel because of his support play but he has a limited kicking game and is a poor decision maker as he's not very cool-headed with ball in hand... the...

    The past, the present and the future

    Great post Mark! Honest, passionate and objective in equal parts! Always tried to adhere to this quote an principle; 'the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy'. As fans it is hard not...

    We will win in Melbourne

    Love the positivity.. even if we get shafted, we go again next week

    No to Maloney and Snowden.

    Surely they can't be judged on one performance? Regardless of whether you would have them or not?

    All class. Epitomises what we all want as fans... legend. Congratulations Matt, can't wait to see you rip in for the next few years.

    Who should we buy for next year

    Yeh I know, and the guys made a career off the back of it, been nowhere near that form since. Also the ESL man of steel award is discredited by the fact that they just pick the flavour of the month at that time, it's not based on the guys who deserve it across the full season. Trust me mate...
