    Manly Warringah history question.

    I wonder if Manly Oval is up to NRL training standards anyway.
  2. Once Was Brissie Kid

    Manly Warringah history question.

    Well it seems it is true that Manly Sea Eagles have never played in Manly, except for a picnic cricket match on Manly Oval about 15 years ago. The news stories below show Manly Sea Eagles officials trying really hard in the first few years of the club to get some games at Manly Oval. Surely it...

    [Resurrected] Manly Jerseys what is your fave

    Manly also wore a white jersey and white socks retro late 1970s strip vs Eels in Round 10 of 2009. Used a jersey number square on the back of the jersey too. https://www.gettyimages.com.au/editorial-images/sport/event/rd-10-sea-eagles-v-eels/85743359

    Honouring contracts ..

    If they bring in rules it will just be giving the ARU and French and Japanese rugby a free kick to negotiate without any competition from the NRL clubs. That's how ARU got Sailor and Tuquiri 20 years ago when NRL had rules banning other NRL clubs from negotiating. But there's NRL clubs who'd...

    I can't see it. I think the camouflage is working.

    2025 Jerseys

    Yes a good throwback in cotton. I'd like to see the white alternate too, used mainly in 1995.

    one area Manly must improve in 2025

    Being able to stop opposition momentum. Among many examples, there's still too many times the team gives up 3 tries in 20 minutes. Being the better team for 65 minutes means jack in NRL.

    These Black and white rules are still grey

    100%. Trying to make it more black and white, as the NRL have been doing, will just cause the same mess as the past 10 years. I don't know how much more black and white or simpler that could be. If it is a deliberate head high tackle, send the tackler off. If it was careless, penalise them...

    These Black and white rules are still grey

    Exactly. Even without any blow to a player's head, and without wishing to disparage anyone, any HIA done of any NRL player or even the referee at the 70th minute of a NRL could end up not passing the HIA due to consequences of fatigue.

    These Black and white rules are still grey

    Since the NRL began in 1998 there have been some really dopey rule changes dreamt up, but this one could top them all. Without even the benefit of three schooners of beer, more than a dozen obvious flaws and inconsistences and just general stoopidity can be rattled off as why this idea should be...

    Don't Hold back Rex 1984

    Robbed again at Kogarah, Edition #425. What the heck, ref? You give StG a penalty try AND you bin the Manly player as well? For what wasn't even a penalty. At 1:49

    1986 MANLY

    Yes disappointing. Balmain had played mid week to claim 5th place, then Manly rolled through them to lead 12-0. How you lose from there, after the same thing happened to Manly in 1984, was just terrible. Look at Manly rolling through Balmain for two tries, Cleal(!) kicking goals from the...

    1986 MANLY

    Manly beat the Dogs home and away in 1986. Have a look at Cleal absolutely monster their pack for a try. At 34:00. Then Chris Close too at 36:45 for another try. It didn't help that Bozo took the captaincy off Cleal when Vautin came back from injury vs Parramatta in the final round of the...

    1986 MANLY

    100% agree, except Cliffy wasn't playing 5/8th at all in 1986 (Mitchell Cox was). At Norths in 1985 it was Lyons at 5/8th and Cox at #7. The only time in 1986 that Lyons-Hasler were in the halves combo was one Panasonic Cup game when Cox was out injured or rested. When Cox was out injured...
