    Pre-Game Knights v Manly [Round 13, 2023]

    Jake Arthur was signed specifically, to act as cover for DCE. I realise he’s only joined this week but he’s probably got more first grade experience than Cooper. Combine that with how Copper played the last time we played them and I think Jake needs to be at least on the bench, if not the...

    Jake Arthur

    You’re spot on about Eels fans and even though it’s fair to say, all supporters groups have their bad element, this long Premiership drought has made the majority of them so frustrated and bitter. I remember how it was for a lot of us early in 2008, after finally making the GF in 2007 but...

    Post-Game Discussion Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

    It didn’t look promising early 👀 but they turned in the type of performance, I was hoping they’d bring last week. It was shades of 2021 with lots of good team play. Obviously very happy for Tom. Hopefully he gets picked for NSW and rediscovers his true form. Well done boys, really proud of that...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Have to agree. He’s had enough opportunities to turn around his poor form. It’s time to give some others a chance, starting with Toff and Ben.

    Game Day: Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

    I think we’re due for a solid performance and a win at the end of it. If not this week, then next week. Most of us were hoping for a win against the Storm but probably didn’t think they’d win like they did. I’ve got a feeling today could turn out like that. It’s Reuben’s 100th game, the old boys...

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

    Very little effort or application in the first 40 mins and at 20-0 the game is effectively over. 40 minutes of grind and actual effort produces 1 try but not before giving up 2. Every now and again, they seem to start the game with intensity and can maintain it long enough to have a chance of...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Yep, I’ve made similar statements in the past. Players like Schuster don’t come along very often. He’s going through a rough time at the moment but he’s a generational talent and someone to build a club around. I couldn’t believe the club chose to publicly admonish the kid like that. As a...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Titans [Round 9, 2023]

    How can they come out and play the Melbourne game with such commitment and grit, then dish up 2 performances like this? The Titans were embarrassed last week but they looked like a team that was focused and determined to make amends. We looked the usual; sloppy (Sipley), dumb (Keppie) and...

    Post-Game Discussion Tigers v Manly [Round 8, 2023]

    I will admit the commentary was terrible Thats a fair summation. Now imagine if we’d beat anyone other than the Tigers, we’d all be thrilled. Last year we’d have lost that game. The 2 points is all that matters.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    I’m ok to be critical when it’s warranted but they had no decent possession in the attacking red zone. He didn’t cost us the game by doing stupid stuff. Yes he missed a tackle that led to a try but he also made plenty of effective tackles throughout the match. We won the game and he played a...

    Post-Game Discussion Tigers v Manly [Round 8, 2023]

    We won. With 10 mins to go it looked like being a frustrating loss but it didn’t turn out that way. So how about a bit of perspective. Consider the injuries we had during the game and amount of possession the Tigers were gifted by the referee. On top of that, the Tigers were fresh off the bye...

    Aaron Woods

    He went fine for his Debut. Talk about literally, living out a dream. Just like him, I (probably like many of us on this forum) grew up wearing my Manly jumper and going to Brookie to watch the games. I wasn’t at the ground that night for the Battle of Brookvale but I remember it well. Along...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Storm [Round 7, 2023]

    Really pleased with the win but on reflection, our attack was very clunky. Back in 2021 we’d have Turbo sweeping out the back, attracting attention. The multiple options this created was why, he along with Garrick and Saab all had over 20 tries each. Then there were the switch back/inside balls...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Storm [Round 7, 2023]

    What a relief, but geez….didn’t we need that win! Credit where it’s due and Cherry Evans was fantastic tonight. I’m not saying he should play like that every week, or even every second week. But as I’ve said plenty of times, when you’re the team captain and highest paid player, he needs to play...

    What are we missing the most?

    Yep, agree with this but Penrith and Melbourne have developed this “mental toughness” thru winning games. In that they both play a style that wins regularly. Part of it comes from good coaching. However a lot of it, is the playing group having confidence in both the system and the team leaders...

    What are we missing the most?

    What are we missing the most? Simple, Tom at full fitness. When he’s fit and playing with confidence, he’s one of the best players in the world. On top of that, he gives everyone else confidence and the team just plays better.

    What are we missing the most?

    Well perhaps if he wasn’t soaking up $1.25m of the cap for all of that time, we could have afforded a decent “organising” halves partner for him. Or maybe if he was capable of steering a team around the park (as you should reasonably expect if you’re paying $1.25m for a half) it shouldn’t matter...

    Never been so embarrassed

    I’ll admit, I was embarrassed to watch them give up 5 tries to none in the first half as well. Some credit should go to Penrith though, as they are defending premiers and playing at home. The sharks game last year and the debacle against the cowboys, were worse for mine. It’s still a long season...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Penn could have chosen Flanagan as head coach but opted for Seibold instead. It’s far too early to say if it’s a failure. He deserves a full season in the role to be judged on his ability to handle the head coaching job. I was of the opinion last year, our biggest issue was Des. I still believe...
