    Seibs Going Right Off at Presser.

    Worst refereeing peformance of the year ... and that's saying something given the joke that refereeing has become this season. Those repeated "six agains" to the warriors were a joke and Garrick was plainly a victim of dangerous play. Only the bunker and that so-called referee seemed to think...

    The six-again rule has become boring, predictable and too subject to utterly inconsistent interpretations by referees. It's ironic that when a team is attacking close to the line the game is almost back to the days of the tedious unlimited tackle rule eliminated in the 1960's. Referees give a...

    Are We Fit Enough

    I thought the refereeing was focussed on a grandstand finish frankly. Some of those penalties were fifty-fifty at best and the Sharks got on a roll against a side with players unable to come back on due to injury.

    Paseka injury... why is there crickets on what Sharks did to him?

    Wise words there feathered friend. Some players are clearly more equal than others. That tackle went virtually unnoticed, and it was far worse than a hip drop in my eyes.

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 18, 2023]

    Sadly, just can't see us winning this game. The Roosters will want it more than us. Hope to be proven wrong though.

    MVP: Rd 13 v The ‘Ponga Is A Protected Species’ Knights

    Manly v Newcastle at Newcastle is always a refereeing one-way, biased affair. It is the one game of the year I can barely bring myself to watch because it always happens up there no matter what referee is in charge.

    Why is the team consistently flat?

    Agreed, but I think DCE is the obvious exception at present. He can't try any harder!

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

    I I agree that some teams do it far better than we do. Cronulla were very effective in showing how it's done when they played us. We could or even should be clever and do the same given the current laxity on this rule by referees, but our lack of speed admittedly makes this difficult. I cringe...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

    Walking off the mark has been a blight on the game for a number of years and yet is rarely discussed and plainly not even seen by the NRL as a problem. It is designed to unfairly disadvantage the defending side. Many sides deliberately and systematically use it to gain an unfair advantage.

    Trouble within the club?

    I never though the day would come when I was envying the way other Sydney clubs like the Roosters, Cronulla, Souths and Penrith operate so professionally.

    It's early days, but I'm getting worried about Seibold too.

    Worst move in recent seasons letting them go.

    Yep, we give away 2 young potentially good props to add Woods to our roster and let Moses Suli go to St. George. The Saints hierarchy must be thankful we are a recognised charity.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

    DCE could not have tried any harder. Sadly, in terms of enthusiasm, he stood out from most of the team. Confused, dispirited and completely outplayed just about sums it up.

    Jack Wighton free to negotiate ...

    I'm getting sick and tired of the stronger sides getting the top players. The competition is currently even this season, but it's a worrying trend and despite the evenness of games this year I already suspect the same "big name" teams will make the eight ... Roosters, Storm, Souths, Parramatta...

    Robinson has coached that team to really push the ten metres for a number of seasons now.

    To all you naysayers...

    I couldn't agree more with you. An amazing turnaround, and a great credit to the players and coach. I could not believe the difference in our team tonight. Very Canberra Raiders v Broncos!

    The Dead Wood needs to go!!!

    Some astute observations mate. Well done. Line speed of our forward pack is a huge issue.
