    If Snake is back, where does Hiku go?

    Hiku had a fine game , but was caught out of position when Fifita scored from the grubber. We need Stewart if Reynolds brings his A grade kicking game.

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    Today we saw the dividend of Toovey's justifiable referee rant and fine. Taufua's try would have been called "no try" before going to the video referee if Toovey hadn't blown up previously.

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    Last time Manly played the Sharks Horo operated on the left and scored off a short pass from Foz exposing Townsend. Symonds scored simply by running over DeGois one pass off the ruck on the right. Symonds looks better when he operates on the right (but not too wide). He was probably trying too...

    How the Manly-Cronulla feud began

    The 1970 World Cup final between Great Britain and Australia at Leeds is easily the most brutal game I've seen. I still remember it like yesterday .It leaves the 1973 Grand Final well and truly in the shade. Quite a few players were involved in both matches including Fulton , O'Neill , Reilly ...

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    RE: Manly v Cronulla [finals week 2 2013] game day thread Hopefully we might see a bit more subtlety from Foz . I don't really like to see him smashing the ball up at a million miles an hour with little or no footwork before the line , especially with Tagataese lurking. I'd like to see him...

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    RE: Manly v Cronulla [finals week 2 2013] game day thread I still can't believe the game he had against Manly at Brookvale this year...2 bombs for 2 tries , a try assist fror Pritchard , then kicking the winning goal. The planets aligned for him that night and that game no doubt helped him get...

    The BulLOLdogs #LOLBULLDOGS Mega Thread

    The writing was on the wall when they were beaten by the Broncos the week before with a backline including Lachlan Maranta at wing/ fullback (one of the worst finishers I've seen in first grade), Alex Glenn at right centre and David Stagg on the right wing. Inu looked the most dangerous back...

    Manly v Cronulla [Round Finals Week 2 2013] game day thread

    RE: Manly v Cronulla [finals week 2 2013] game day thread The Sharks are 2 centres and a winger short of being a premiership threat. Robson just shovels the ball out like Trent Hodkinson and is almost as slow. Carney could barely walk after a grubber into touch towards the end of the match...

    Brett Stewart availability for Sat

    The same rumours were doing the rounds about Snake not playing against Melbourne 2 weeks ago and they were off the mark. I expect him to play. Last year Toovey didn't play mind games with selections , but this year is different.

    Taking that extra step

    Bulldogs are the masters of this tactic , epecially Perrett and Inu. This takes the markers out of play and gives the illusion that the defensive line is inside the 10 metres as well. Perrett often breaks into a jog as well after he plays the ball to give the illusion of the markers being even...

    Roosters next week!

    The key is to slow down the Roosters' quick play the balls which are the best in the NRL. Looking at the tries they have conceded this year , there's no real recurring theme. Jake Friend used to be an unreliable defender with poor discipline...even though he's improved out of sight he did miss...

    Bench vs Roosters

    Hiku on the bench is a must . If Snake , Wolf or Jorge were forced from the field we'd have no options .

    How Will Ricky Stuart Go With Canberra?

    Stuart played Daniel Harrison at right centre for Parramatta today...Tyrone Roberts used him as a turnstile to score after only five minutes.

    Souths Vs Roosters

    I can't believe Maguire is persisting with Farrell and Asotasi. Both players have plenty of errors in their game (especially under pressure) and it was no coincidence the bombs were all going Farrell's way. The Walker/Farrell combo is a turnstile in defence (not exposed tonight but will be over...

    Barba the truth comes out

    According to various media reports Barba travelled to Brisbane to play against the Broncos pending a "fitness test". I thought his papers were stamped never to play for the Bulldogs again .

    Barba the truth comes out

    There were rumours earlier in the year about Josh Morris having a massive falling out with Barba after an incident. His form seems to have improved since Barba has been punted .

    Some Real Psychological Damage done tonight

    The Storm were foxing in my opinion. It was evident at the ground that they weren't switched on for long periods (no defensive line speed at all in the 1st half , forwards not winding up , Smith looking totally distracted and the body language of some of their players ). Having said that there...

    Barba the truth comes out

    Greenburg wanted to punt Barber earlier in the year but Hasler didn't . Greenburg undermined the team's Grand Final preparation last year by carrying on in the lead up week like they'd already won. Greenburg wasn't impressed that Hasler locked the media out after losing the Grand Final. It's no...

    Watmough

    Don't forget that he is performing consistently well under duress due to a chronic pinched nerve in his neck. A similar problem contributed to the retirement of Andrew Johns , Gorden Tallis and Nathan Brown .

    Glenn Stewart Injury

    I'll be more joyous if G. Stewart plays next Monday.
