    Who should we buy for next year

    Seriously these clips are not the full story. He is bang average and a sulk if his team are getting beat. There's a reason none of the top ESL teams have even took him. For every highlight theres a kick out on the full, throwing the ball in to touch etc. Not up to the standard Im afraid. Same...

    Lama Tasi?

    He's going well in super league. He is a strong hitter and runner, also does big minutes and is a unit. However he isn't neccessarily a stand-out front rower, even in the ESL, although thats not always a requirement for a prop I admit. Put it this way, I would have him at my ESL team...

    2016 Halves Choice Merged Mega-Thread

    A big unit yeh, runs good lines as well actually for a big guy, knows his way to the line, could be worth a punt at 23 YO, definitely has the athleticism and size (196cm 111kg) his height doesn't slow him down either. If we were to look towards super league for an answer to the forwards though...

    Mose Masoe - prop rotation 2016

    I see Mose Masoe's name thrown about on here a lot. He's currently at my home town team St. Helens, and tbh I don't really quite know if I do or don't want him playing for Manly. On the one hand I remember his form for Penrith in 2013, and he was outstanding. The second half of the year I...

    2016 Halves Choice Merged Mega-Thread

    Trust me, this a definite no no. This guy is terrible. Steals a living as a half because he can support a break, rarely makes any breaks himself, his kicking game is terrible and he is reckless with ball in hand. If you want to look at Warrington the one player who could go well is Stefan...

    Who should we buy for next year

    This. Brother is a dogs fan (I failed him :() so I watch a lot of their games and he watches them all. We have both come to the agreement that Hodkinson is essentially an enabler, or as Joeboy said; a cog. Sure he'll kick well and is a strong defender but thats about it, everything else in...

    Tom Burgess

    Agree with this. Would be a good start in beefing up the front-row. HOWEVER Tom isn't as good as George (yet), so we shouldn't be expecting that of him. No doubt he can develop his own game and style though, and has potential to be a top front-rower. Klemmer would also be in a similar...

    Thoughts on Alex Glenn?

    Can understand the interest - has ability, and is still young, aggressive also. Would be a reasonable buy - but I think at the moment there are just far more pressing areas to focus on for recruitment - the obvious two being the halves and front row. Get them sorted and then a player like Glenn...

    Gee what a shock

    Really hope this doesn't happen. We need to stick together now more than ever. We support the club, the badge and the history. We don't have to support certain players or guys behind the scenes. They may all be laughing at us now. That comes from hatred sprouted from jealousy. They may mock us...

    Money Talks - Lets do something!!

    Too right! It's easy being behind them when they are winning, and we've had plenty of that. The rest of the team need us now more than ever. Stick with your team through thick and thin, never give up on the guys who want to be there. Us against the rest of the NRL - just how we like it. How...

    Huuuuge 2nd ROW depth

    Fair point, I got a little off topic there. Back on topic - I agree regarding Lui. Expecting a big year from him. Was far better when used as a lock instead of a prop. Going to be really interesting to see who gets the nod in round 1.

    Huuuuge 2nd ROW depth

    Interesting that not a lot of people see Luke Burgess in the 17? I would have thought he would be a strong option as the second bench prop?

    Hodges In 2015

    I recently bought the season highlights DVD from 08 to quench my boredom in the off-season and I was surprised at how many times Ballin would run from dummy-half, particularly near the opposition line, and often would find the line and score. It hadn't been an element of his game I had been...

    Rate our chances in 2015

    I'm also positive for the season. I think we will get off to an inconsistent start with some new faces bedding in and maybe some changing in the team to work out what our best 17 is and where people fit in best. Not to mention potential contract disputes that I really hope are sorted by kick off...

    The Kieran Forum

    Im sure I'd enjoy a few teams throwing 6 if not 7 figure deals my way @;) I can kind of understand where you are coming from. You're right, Foran is extremely tough and has a great work ethic and will to win, he put's in the big hits, leads the line and kick chases etc and I can see to some...

    Koukash behind bid to introduce English franchise into NRL

    This guy just loves kicking up a fuss with wacky ideas. Does it all the time in the Super League. I like his enthusiasm for change, it is needed desperately in England, but part of me thinks he does it for his own personal gain as a brand with his club Salford than a genuine love of the game...

    Big Willy Report

    Yeh I'm hopeful. Got a point to prove, and seems to be very self-aware about his role at the club. The noises coming out of pre-season seems to suggest he's took up the leadership mantle in the pack as well. Let's hope he will lead the way on the field as well.

    What are your top 5 memorable moments of supporting Manly?

    Being a brand new fan in the context of some of yourselves who discuss moments from the 70's, 80's and 90's and have been lifelong fans some of these may be minor moments and appear slightly random, but since becoming a Manly fan these are the moments that have stuck with me - 5) The Foz...

    There's the door!

    I think its just the constant speculation. The Watmough situation has finally been resolved after months of will he won't he. We are in the middle of a Foran saga after months of speculation, as well as DCE. Now this is going to spark more 'will Matai leave' talk. I think to some extent...
