    Post-Game Discussion Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

    Our side decimated by injuries looked disorganised and we made errors, but Andrew Gee is up there with Ben Cummins re his blatant anti-Manly bias. I thought his interpretation of this game was poor and distinctly one-sided. We had precious little ball in the first half due to the lopsided...

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    It's a genuine problem. I don't think too many referees were Manly fans growing up as kids in Sydney's west.

    Looking at Manly's defence

    I like the idea of referees counting 1, 2, 3 (as in amateur wrestling) and penalising the player/s if they stay longer on the tackled player than that. Currently, referees do too much talking in the ruck about "dominant," "non-dominant" etc which is unnecessarily complicated and hard to...

    It's time to put the pegs in the right hole.

    I am beginning to doubt he has his mind on playing with Manly.

    How to feel deflated after winning? .... Follow Manly

    Our team does lack football intelligence. The effort is always there and I love these boys, but we so often don't play "smart." Other teams seem to play smarter than we do in crucial moments and panic under pressure in those final minutes. How many matches have we led this season after forty...

    Can we beat a top 3 / 4 side?

    Sadly the answer rhymes with "blow" and "low!"

    This is a bottom 4 team

    Sadly an accurate assessment.

    It never occurred to me that Craig Bellamy might target Jorge with kicks lol!

    This is a bottom 4 team

    It's sad for supporters, but I reluctantly have to agree. I see a lack of discipline, poor defense, no ability to defuse high kicks and no backs capable of making hard "physical" yards. The players are certainly trying for Des, but the roster lacks high-impact players apart from DCE, Olakauatu...

    "Manly push boundaries. Parramatta are disciplined"

    I sometimes watch part of matches using a steady "three-count" (as in wrestling) of tackles during matches to try a) amuse myself and b) to keep a somewhat objective view of holding down. If players are still on a player after a steady "three count," you can be reasonably confident that the...

    "Manly push boundaries. Parramatta are disciplined"

    This is one of the best comments I've ever read on this forum. Well done.

    Matt Lodge

    I understand the concerns of Eagles supporters, but we do lack grunt in the forwards at present and if available at a reasonable cost Lodge might help provide this. Our team culture might be a positive influence on him.

    Positives from tonights game

    A great observation. Our fragility has been looking us in the face since Cronulla game and possibly much earlier. Tigers game was a scappy win with tries disallowed for Tigers.

    How Soft are our Forwards

    Losing Addin Fonua-Blake was a disaster. I think Souths know a similar feeling (only even greater) now with Reynolds leaving. I hate to criticize our team, but I think it's fair to say our forwards do not physically intimidate their opponents. Haumole Olakau'atu is the exception and Aloiai is...

    Pre-Game Manly v Tigers [Round 9, 2022]

    I fear that Atkins has issues with Manly. Hope he surprises this weekend and we get a "fair go."

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Titans [Round 6, 2022]

    Toatlly agree with your comment, "Honestly the impacts the refs have on these contests are atrocious. The 6 again rule is a complete joke and completely subjective." This ongoing attempt to make a fast play the ball allows referees to dictate game results, in many cases, on a virtual whim. I...
