    Precedents set , i think

    I cant link to it at present but there is a classic Manly vs Tigers match from the 70s when Neil Pringle is penalised by Greg Hartley and he runs up and absolutely monsters Hartley. Hartley cool as a cucumber just walks him another 10. Calling someone that name is cruel but whatever happened to...

    Hadley wants AFB gone for 8 weeks

    I loathe Hadley as well. Rolled Gold hypocrite. However, Peter Wicks is not exactly an ideological bedfellow of Hadley. interesting piece he wrote but Wicks is not exactly unbiased when he appears to be very much on the far, far left of just about everyone.

    Grant Atkins abused by AFB

    If the bunker ref was a "P.O.G", Person of Girth, AFB would have gotten away with calling him a "stupid fat C@#%". It's the one insult that everyone gets away with. I say that as someone who is on the "ample" side.

    The Sheridan Stand at the SCG and what it meant to me!!

    I went to all the 78 finals except the 2 replays ( vs Eels and Sharks). I was 14 and travelled from SW Sydney with a schoolmate to the games. It was a real event. Lots of comraderie with us fans being led by Lyall Roberts (he was such a big fan, I wonder whatever happened to him?). In those days...

    Favourite player(s) from other clubs....

    Always loved watching Benji Marshall. He is so naturally gifted even today he is wonderful to watch.

    First Manly game you went to ??

    My first was Manly vs Easts SCG June 1975. Sat in the old Brewongle Stand with my Roosters supporting older sister (she was a Russell Fairfax fan). I think the Roosters won 11-10 or something similar. I think to win the game Fairfax and John Brass both kicked field goals with one of them being...

    'Desperate situation': SCG Trust urges members not to walk away

    My memory too. Nine ran a promo that said the concert would " make Hot August Night seem like a sunday school picnic". Sure. What I remember is that Cadbury sponsored he show and the great man did live ads. Brissie Kid thanks for the link to Longfellow Serenade. Fancy writing a song where you...

    'Desperate situation': SCG Trust urges members not to walk away

    Does anyone remember Neil Diamond doing a concert at the old Sportsground in 1976? It was broadcast live on Channel Nine. Quite an event in those days.

    National Rugby League SHAME

    That's my favourite but these days it probably describes me fairly well.

    1983 Manly Season

    Your conscience can be soothed by knowing that she is 53 now and possibly a granny.

    More Journo Cheap Shots

    Oh and by the way, Kate. Dying your hair blond doesn't make you look any better looking.

    More Journo Cheap Shots

    It is not suggested that Stewart, Watmough or Kennedy were involved in any wrongdoing in connection with Melhem. What a nasty cheap shot that was. Dog act, cynical tawdry journalism.

    New NRL Ad

    To be sure, people aren't always consistent. And I'm so relieved you're not tarring anyone of us as snowflakes (mixed metaphor alert). However I doubt it is truly trying to be diverse. It is being diverse in the sense it wants to appeal to corporate backers who are fully on the"diversity"...

    New NRL Ad

    Also - I really have a problem with calling out the aboriginal angle only - when in truth, we have a lot of amazing cultures and empowerment stories in the game. They have basically said polynesian, kiwi, italian involvement etc isn't as important as the Aboriginal narrative. Not sure that is a...

    New NRL Ad

    If they need an iconic moment I'll suggest one. How about when Gifty gets the Clive Churchill award and tells David Gallop that he owes Brett an apology. That's a real moment of social justice. As for the rest; Macklmore (who?), a couple of women kissing, people draped in flags? Why not...

    MANLY DOMINANCE MIX 1972 - 2019 - The Film

    The beaver try always makes me smile. And seeing Russell Gartner accelerate to score that try in 78 also makes me smile. How quick was he?

    The Devolution of the Sloth

    Watching the Fibros/Silvertails doco it is amazing how bitter Gibbs and O'Grady were nearly 30 years later. The old (Nick Lowe, also John Lennon and Groucho Marx) adage "Time wounds all heels" comes to mind. What struck me was how bitter they and Roy Masters were and how nonchalant John Dorahy...

    Happily, Manly sign Turbo brothers!!!

    Yeah, Woking, Surrey. The place is called, I think, "the Sandpit" in Horsell Common. I was visiting Brooklands at Weybridge which is a fascinating place.
