    Burgess & SBW Impact....

    I take your point. He had a strong finals series. Still, he looked to have real potential and was consistently very good for them in 2013. In 2014, finals aside, he didn't seem to get anywhere near the form of the year before when he was being touted for a SOO spot. Considering 2014 was the...

    Manly Sea Eagles Tries of the Year 2014

    Personal favourite of mine from memory was Symonds try v Sharks (think it was sharks, correct me if I'm wrong). Was it foran who chipped it through to Snake who popped it off to Symonds who had a 30yd dash to the line. Like poetry in motion.

    The NRL's top five centres

    Without a question of a doubt the best centre in the world, and the best centre I have ever watched play the game.

    Burgess & SBW Impact....

    Agree with all of this. One thing I would say is that despite losing Mini and SBW, Roosters still have some leaders in their team and a good coach with a talented roster to fall back on. I don't see where the leaders are in the Souths team. Inglis? As many have said in other threads...

    Foward pack better than 2014??

    All things considered I believe we are... Its a case of we have got maybe not what we wanted (I'm sure we would have all loved to see a superstar front rower come in, obviously salary being the reason we can't)... but more so a case of we have got what we needed. All our signings haven't...

    2015 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    This was the assumption I made. Also, Watmough didn't say it days before signing.. Foran doesn't seem to be the type... ... Then again they never do until they do.

    2015 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    Also didn't Foran say less than a week ago he wouldn't make a decision until in to the new year? and that he wanted to 'get his boots back on first'.. that was only last week, doesn't seem to be the kind to, or have any reason to explicitly lie - when presumably a deal was near to completion in...

    Tetevano suspended

    I don't disagree with you, I think you are spot on as to why he has been sacked by the club and by Newcastle previously... this was merely my reasoning as to why I don't believe he should play here is all.

    2015 Premiers - Why we can win

    We're in with a really good shot. We were walking away with it last year with 6 weeks to go and then we imploded. This year we have taken out the disruption, and IMO have improved in the front row, where we've been lacking for a while, and I would say improved as a squad in general. Only...

    Tetevano suspended

    Exactly. Whether they like it or not, NRL players, and all sportsmen and women for that matter, are role models to the wider public. They are in a privelged position where they have the ability to change and influence peoples lives for the better or worse. As you put, if you're prepared to take...

    Tetevano suspended

    Definitely.This scumbag should be in prison, never mind our club.

    Manlys best since fulton, Napper or Snake

    Totally agree. Inglis is a freak of nature - sometimes - Lyon is all class all of the time. Lyon all day long. Plays with all the heart in the world, backs it up by having the freakish skills to win us games from nothing. Deadly given the ball in space, and outstanding defensively. A true...

    2015.....Top 8

    Wow totally forgot about the Panthers, they go in to my 8, Warriors dropping out and Panthers to finish 6th. Everyone else drops down one.

    2015.....Top 8

    One thing I think about this year is there is no clear top 8 with so many teams potentially on the brink that can burst in to the 8: Tigers, Sharks, Warriors.. I'd go: 1) Manly - always compete, most consistent and we'd have wrapped it up much earlier last year had we not had off-field issues...

    Price of jerseys

    To be fair I have never checked out Lovell - although I may do now - only because I live about 20 minutes away from DUL so can nip to and from the shop instead of ordering online. Yeh the logic I used to try and explain was that essentially the demand is very high and therefore they bump the...

    Price of jerseys

    I get my merchandise from this place in the UK - downunderleisure.co.uk - he sells the shirts for about £60 (about $110) and always gets new stock in come the new season. When a friend of mine went over to Aus I asked him if he could bring me back a jersey, he agreed but when he got there he...

    Assistant Coach

    With respect, that isn't entirely accurate re Brown. He did coach Huddersfield to the next level, but as I mentioned earlier his ability to recruit quality players in the positions the team needed was an extremely large part of that. He brought in the likes of Luke O'Donnell and David Fa'alogo...

    2015 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    RE: 2014 Rumoured and confirmed signings. Im a St.Helens fan and it's come out this week that his manager has said he is definitely staying with us and seeing out his contract in 2015. Nowadays that doesn't gurantee anything. But he certainly hasn't been released, and he wouldn't be...

    2015 YART

    Understand what you mean re Choc and power, but a little harsh on two forwards in their first year of first grade. Not saying all players don't do it straight away, many do, but not all players who aren't absolute wrecking balls in their first year are then going to be considered a soft touch...
