    Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic

    Well you were absolutely correct. I think he's been going alright and couldn't understand all the critics. Well he showed you all today. Was fantastic in defence, played in different positions, scored a try and had a real dig. Congrats Burbo.

    The Ruck

    It looked to me that we'd gone back to the Barrett days of defence. Let em come and hold them upright without any forceful first contact. Who wouldn't run flat out at that defence. Oh yes Trent was a genius......not.

    Garrick general news thread

    Unfortunately Cherry (who is generally a great 1 on 1 defender but can get spooked and turn in) left Reuben stranded for 1 try.

    Lehi Hopoate

    Wow...that's exactly what I thought. He reminded me so much of Matty Ridge. You must be a genius!

    Lehi Hopoate

    I'll give you another reason....he doesn't make that extra effort running across field that is required to make the last ditch tackle on a winger as he did so easily in 2021. Whether that's because he's cautious to run at 100%, I'm not sure. But he's certainly not the defensive player he was.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]

    Totally agree. Garrick sometimes is 'all about me'. He had chez and brooksy inside him when he kicked. Earlier in the first half Ola had arms clear to offload 10 out and Reuben's waiting another 10 back organising his next play....there is no next play if he just pushed up, easy try.

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]

    Well don't take a peak at Manlys record in the wet...including the last 2 weeks. It's nothing short of abysmal and that's over 10 years.

    Salary cap probe: NRL investigates Ponga third-party deal

    And Manly didn't cheat the cap....it was deducted from those wise NRL salary cap auditors who are allowed to show their discretionary powers (bias) that the negotiations weren't at arms length to the club.

    Why can’t Manly maintain a lead? (Rugby League Eye Test)

    So really all that is required is better concentration, a change of attitude in relation to valueing defence over attack and greater commitment to faster line speed. Surely they can fix all of that by Friday.

    Post-Game Discussion Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    Go and watch Parker in reggies. You'll wonder how in the hell he gets a run.

    Post-Game Discussion Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    Yeah....thier defence is worse than the tigers. It's appalling. We give up 5 tries every week. The defence coach, whoever that is, needs to be sacked. The system just does not work.

    Soft underbelly

    Is it just me....and looking for excuses. ...or is the north/south downhill way of running a bigger influence this year than in previous years. All our good starts at Brookie (and the parra comeback) have all been on the back of running downhill. As has all the opposition comebacks. Is it time...

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    I can tell you that Manly embarrassed the other teams that went to Vegas. Manly through Mestrov organised a fan day for all the Supporters that were there. Nobody else bothered. Also I saw him at Honolulu airport on the way home having a little R & R as was I. With his arms full of bags etc and...

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    Just a shout out to Jake, who week in week out does his job. No fuss. Just gets it done. Doesn't matter what ground, what opposition, when in the game and whether we're winning or not. Just keeps putting in. Those who vote for MOTM each week.....don't forget the passionate blond guy in the...

    Post-Game Discussion Post-Game Discussion - Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    Absolutely. Manly were the only team that won from last week's slog, that was the extra time games. All 4 teams gave up more than 30 points and Manly had to get on a plane to start this week's prep a day late. There is no way we win this game last year. Yep....a ****ty win, but a win none the less

    Pre-Game Manly v Panthers [Round 5, 2024]

    If you want to remain positive or at the very least slightly optimistic.....whatever you do, don't check Manlys wet weather form.

    Woodsie's Team List Tuesdays

    I find the constant is the defence. This compressed line that comes up and in and the cover comes around the back, gets caught out too many times. Can someone explain to me why we continue to use this system year in year out and yet Penrith have a system where everybody holds their...

    Refs' managing games:

    You may remember some years ago Ivan Cleary hinted at exactly that. There were referees that changed the momentum in a game. Just before half time and after a glut of possession by one team. He was given a warning as he was insinuating bias refereeing .......really. Officials should look at...
