    Souffs game

    Souths looked as fit as I've ever seen a team look in round 1 . They must have been hammered by Maguire in the off season. Inglis, Sutton and even Tuquiri looked fitter than you'd normally expect at this stage. The trick is to peak at the end of the year which is something Manly always aims to...

    2014 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    I doubt very much Hasler is genuinely interested in Fifita. The Bulldogs are over-stocked with props as it is (albeit injury plagued ones like Kasiano and Klemmer). There are probably two reasons why the Fifita offer is being played out in public: to make sure that the Sharks won't be able to...

    No panic yet...

    I was at the game and thought Melbourne were going to get 40 plus put on them . Cameron Smith has certainly slowed down a bit but is still influential . Billy Slater was obviously carrying an injury, Fonua was lost in defence in the centres and Tonumaipea kept getting caught too far infield...

    Sea Eagles V Storm [Round 1 2014] discussion tread

    Both Melbourne's flanks got carved up in the 1st half but Melbourne's weight of possession in the 2nd half resulted in noticeable Manly fatigue after about 60 odd minutes (a bit similar to last years GF). Melbourne's bench rotation played a role (the bigger bodies were bending the line ...

    Sea Eagles V Storm [Round 1 2014] discussion tread

    Manly by 20 plus. Fonua will get carved up in defence if he plays right centre (assuming Chambers marks Lyon ).They also have a winger making his debut ( Young Tonumaipea )who will probably line up outside Chambers which will make them vulnerable on both sides . Ben Roberts has a long kick but...

    Aaron Woods to manly?

    Manly could really use a strike forward like Jason Taumalolo . This guy would be a human wrecking ball under the Manly system. He's gone backwards development wise under the Cowboys coaching but that just means a better price tag .

    Aaron Woods to manly?

    Jason King's experience up front is important at least for next year . There was talk of Wolfman signing a 2 year extension a couple of months ago. I must say I was a bit surprised when he copped on field verbal barrages from Killer and Snake during the finals. Normally a mistake results in...

    Aaron Woods to manly?

    His form tapered off after SOO , but he has a lot of potential. There were rumours back in June that he might be signing with Manly for 2015 and beyond (he's under contract until then , not that that seems to count for anything these days). There were also rumours of interest in Curtis Sironen...

    Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed

    I watched the Fox sports coverage as well but the coverage was the same (albeit without commentators talking through their wallets like Sterling and Gould). Notice the groan Sterling let out as Lyon's penalty try unfolded and the joy in his voice when Jennings scored. Hayne cracked under...

    Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed

    Another crucial call was the penalty against DCE after he tackled Jennings around the 71st minute(after Lyon was blocked by Jennings while chasing a DCE bomb). I can't find footage of the complete incident as Channel 9 showed a replay of the block on Lyon at the time and you only see the start...

    Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed

    DCE gets tackled by Jennings at the 69min30sec mark , is on the ground and held about 20 metres out, then Jake Friend does a flop with a swinging arm to the head/neck. That's a penalty every day of the week. If Manly players were coached to stay down it would have been reviewed and the officials...

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    As I mentioned in a previous post Des Hasler devised an effective gameplan against Souths : Walker/Farrell sometimes present a staggered defensive line especially when the attacking dummy half feigns to go right then swings the ball left ; Merritt can get caught coming infield unnecessarily...

    what do we really honestly think?

    Souths' form over the last 7 matches is nothing to write home about...losing to the Cowboys, Storm and Roosters, beating Manly and the Storm in controversial circumstances , just holding out the Bulldogs and beating the Tigers after being down 18-nil .

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    RE: Manly V Souths Match Day Thread The Round 24 Bulldogs v Souths game shows the way to beat Souths (even though the Bulldogs lost, Hasler was very eager to play Souths again). They really exposed Walker and Farrell in the last 25 minutes. Their other tries came from Merrit rushing in and a...

    2013 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

    Maybe we could get Ray Warren to do the commentary for next year's NSW Cup match between the Bulldogs and Manly . It would go something like this :"Did you see Chase Stanley chase Cheyse Blair ? "

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    RE: Manly V Souths Match Day Thread The good news is that Farrell and Asotasi escaped suspension against Melbourne as they are weak links. The Walker/Farrell corridor can be exploited . Asotasi makes a lot of errors. Maybe the role played by Issac Luke can be shared by Buhrer/DCE and Hiku (if...

    Manly V Souths [Round Finals Week 3 2013]

    We had the game plan to beat them last time at BlueTongue Stadium but we were derailed by the Matai no-try ruling. Basically play at high intensity for the first 25 minutes or so , establish a lead then use the remaining petrol in the tank to hold on. Souths have wobbled in the 2nd half both...

    Watmough in any era...

    How about when he channelled his half-back days in round 20 2012 at Brookvale against the Dogs in the 2nd half when he drifted across field and put King into a gap to score beside the posts.

    Ch 9 Commentary

    In all honesty , the channel 9 coverage has been shambolic for years. The number of times they show replays of totally inconsequential incidents during the game at the expense of missing live action is gobsmacking and reeks of amateurism. The producer also thinks it's almost mandatory to change...

    Manly v Souths

    When he went off against Melbourne he sat on the interchange bench for a couple of minutes and twice put his head in his hands. I couldn't tell from where I was sitting whether it was fatigue or disappointment with aggravating scar tissue in his hamstring. He then went to the sheds and got his...
