    DCE to announce retierment

    I'd make one addition to that list even though he didn't play in the grand final. That was John Gibbs. He did much to get Manly to the 1978 grand final but injury kept him out of the Grand Final side. He was selected for the Kangaroos given his outstanding efforts that year. So he and Martin...

    DCE to announce retierment

    Only Cleary in my mind is a match for DCE. DCE's range of skills is well beyond most other half backs playing. He dominates in games. You know who's boss out there. Sure he makes mistakes at times, but I would suggest, as I have before, its because he has in the past decade been playing with a...

    DCE to announce retierment

    Gosh lets hope Joey Walsh lives up to his reputation and potential. Its a big gap to fill.

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Crazy system there. 34% of eligible voters chose not to vote. Shows how much they care.

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Do you think for one moment the Liberal Party would not have considered something similar. Morrison was almost sending us into a serious trade war with China (with Murdock's support) Politics is always about slamming the opposition. Dutton is doing it continuously and with as questionable...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Unfortunately we both know there are political implications to this decision. Great if it benefit PNG and a team from that neighbour was always under consideration. However its choice ahead of the much better financially backed and stable Perth, I strongly suspect was a political decision...

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    I remember that '69 grand final. Biggest boil over I can recall. The rising brilliance of South Sydney was expected to roll the Tigers easily. Balmain played it tactically, slowing the game down, feigning a constant flow of injuries, maintaining strong defense. Put the Rabbits off their game...

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    Oh the memories. Almost brings tears to the eyes. Great years, great players, great games.

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    In my usual convoluted and expansive manner, all I was trying to suggest is understand we are all conditioned to believe or accept perspectives, just as those on this site are rabidly Manly supporters. Its an emotional response, not a logical one. And as Goebbels demonstrated and we're seeing it...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Now Woodsie, I know I can be a a pain the a at times. Its in my nature. Perhaps its because having been in the work I had, researching is a fundamental. But hey, doesn't mean I'm right, though I operate on what seems the most probable, not what is absolute. Always leave the door open for the...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    That's why you should vote based on which party offers the most sensible policies. Voting for the one party over and over is why the US is in such chaos. I was raised in a conservative right wing family and voted that way until my mid 20s. I saw things then that disturbed me about the policies...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    I base my opinion on policies not media propaganda, like the majority in the US seem to have done. This is not about left or right wing nonsense that so many fall into. Its about examining the policy issues. What impacts on us all. I'm supportive of some elements of the Labor party, the Greens...

    Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028

    Though I think you over glorify the Albanese government (there are issues I feel that are contrary to our interest such as in fossil fuels etc) I do agree that in general they are doing a fairly reasonable job. Internationally I applaud most of their efforts to take a stand on some issues that...

    We were blessed at centre

    Quite right. O'Connor's last game for Manly was in 1992. Lyon's first game for Manly was in 2007, though his career started in 2000. Excellent combination, but I think Lyon-Fulton was a superior combination, and would have been lethal outside Cliff Lyons and Toovey or DCE

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    Where's our best defender, Jurbo.

    We were blessed at centre

    Noel Cleal Ron Gibbs Both ended up in the forwards but they were also a terror at centre. Chris Close Darrel Williams Kevin Iro Peter Gallagher Dylan Walker Some didn't reach their peak or were just good in the role.

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    Agreed Bozo. Great full back and had he escaped injury over so many years he would have challenged Eadie for my best Manly full back. A shame we never saw that consistency and frightening skills of 2021, every year. But we now have another potentially outstanding full back in young Hopoate. If...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    Having watched Turbo's style, he does a lot of what I would identify as 5/8 type play, running in to create gaps for outside backs.. His roving stile is actually quite similar to Lockyer, though he's a little quicker and stronger. Watched him in the centre closer to the action and he was...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    Read recently of talk about Turbo to 5/8 and young Hoppa to full back when DCE hangs up his boots. Memories of Lockyer's move which proved very successful
