    Kicking responsibility

    Against the Warriors, I am confident that we will address the incredibly soft defence we all witnessed in the opening exchanges against the Vermin. Jake will be back and Starling should start. Lawrence had a shocker last outing, so hoping he is relegated to bench at best. I pray that we don't...

    Fire Dan Ferris Immediately

    We are missing the defence provided by DCE and Jake. The real question is why we have become so dependant on Cherry's defence? For goodness sake, DCE shouldn't have made so many tackles and taken so many forward hit ups in the first 4 rounds. It was one of those unnecessary hit ups that led to...

    Salary cap question

    Not sure how the salary cap works, so this is a genuine question. If we don't play Symonds, Mateo and Burgess in first grade this year, do their salaries count towards the salary cap? Is their treatment just a ploy by our management team to offload one or all of them to secure a big name second...

    The Loss To The Tigers Was Through No Fault Of Our Own.

    It was a good call to play Jake at lock

    Sea Eagles Refuse To Release Symonds

    Looks like we are scheming to sign a big, rugged second rower before 30 June. Are there any quality second rowers currently on the market? Any from England?

    DCE

    DCE made 30 tackles last night. Far too many to expect him to also play the dominant half role, controlling both sides of the ruck. DCE was understandably flat and just not fit enough last night to master the challenge of being everywhere in attack and defence. Thurston appears everywhere in...

    Thoughts on Game1

    We missed getting the NRL memo that it's now OK to strip the ball with two or more in the tackle. Hasler was certainly watching the season opener and certainly instructed his players to strip the ball against us. Hasler 1 - Barrett 0

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    True, the Eels got a raw deal, and we didn't have to pay over the odds for an over the hill player ... but .... the NRL have essentially made the case for us that the Eels behaviour was illegitimately predatory ... And if we were the victims, we should be recompensed. Fanciful, I khow ... Not...

    Addison Demetriou?

    This is a dumb thread IMO. Great under 20s player that was never going to make it in the top grade. Sorry, sentimenentality aside that for those that followed him in the lower grades, I think our recruitment decision to cut him was the right decision.

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    So let me get this straight ... Watmough was enticed away from Manly on what appears to be an illegal TPA. Hoppa was also enticed away on a promise of a TPA that was not delivered. If Manly were unable to retain these players, because of these arrangements, then surely we are the party that...

    Mitchell Pearce Aus Day Scandal

    OK, 20 page fascinating thread ... Let's keep it going Confession time! What's the worst thing you have done when mortal, now or when you were young. I don't remember pissing my pants. I don't remember humping an animal I don't remember sticking my tongue down a females throat to test if they...

    Full Team List for 2016,

    Tamou at starting prop with Jake at lock has a 2016 grand final feel about it ... And still have the capacity to add 3 cheap players to fill out our top 25 squad. 01. Brett Stewart 02. Jorge Taufua 03. Steve Matai 04. Jamie Lyon 05. Tom Trbojevic 06. Dylan Walker 07. Daly Cherry-Evans 08...

    4 GF rip offs in a row

    Reckon we lost fair and square in 82 & 83; as much as it still hurts to admit. 95 was the first of the rorts; skinniest 5m defensive line seen all year in that game, 3 tries from forward passes and a 7th tackle try that the league world seems to forget. 97 was arguably worse; the Knights were...

    Jamie Buhrer 2016

    I like his ticker, intelligence and work ethic on the field. But I don't like it when one of our forwards regularly gets rag dolled. Not fussed whether he survives the rebuild or not, and I'd rather purchase Gavet to complete out intimidating pack. We have lots of options for lock. I'd like to...

    James Gavet

    I'd sign him up, will come cheap, and will complete our forward rebuild.

    Liam knight

    Liam Knight's performance in the u/20's grand final was a revelation. An 80 min starting prop performance in sweltering heat. He bit his tongue. He did the hard and tough work, over and over again. He will be a future star. By my reckoning, a supreme wide running backrower in his early 20s and...

    CEO BOZO

    Why not? He is pulling all the strings and spending Penn's money. Let's face reality, a clean out and accelerated rebuild was necessary. Next year is a rebuild and climb up the ladder year. The year after, we should be targeting grand final day. Our greatest victory this year was retaining...

    Hayne and Cummins Grand Final Match Performance

    Bump. It hurts to revisit, but geez we were screwed.

    Grand final appearances

    I became a Manly fanatic as a 7 year old in 1972. For 50 year olds like me, we can still claim that our team is more successful than any other, based on our grand final appearances over my lifetime of support. Manly have made 14 grand final appearances over that period. I would encourage each...
