Time for "Captain's Challenge" to be Introduced?
Refereeing decisions need to be cleared up & improved prior to finding more time wasting in the game. Some players stay down to get the penalty. At times theres a blatent hit & its not replayed , other times it is & theres a penalty for the lessor infringement??? Video refs need to be able to...- MK Eagle

Revenge on easts
Already so many stoppages in the game, would prefer more competent refereeing & video ref able to rule on foward passes. Also really annoying how at times when a player is down or theres an incident like Jennings knocking the ball over the sidelines decisions are reviewed & reversed & other...- MK Eagle

I Am Sick To Death Of All This SBW BS
I hope he does stay, would prefer to beat Bondi boys with him in the team & have no doubt Manly will do just that. Agree about the double standards to keep him & they were doing the same with Inglis & were also attempting to do favours to bring back Falou, its like a special favour to the club...- MK Eagle

Credit to coach Geoff Toovey
Its clear Manly could more than match any team in the NRL & though there has been loads of reasons given for the GF loss, only injuries over key players stopped Tooves at the final hurdle from getting his much deserved credit. Super effort from a bloke who has overcome huge hurdles to have this...- MK Eagle

Goals in the off-season
Grill these new front rowers in early training to work out the best options from day 1, this will be the area to ensure is in good order. Get Jake trbojevic around the top graders as much as possible, as he will be of massive importance in 2014. Have noticed many leaving him out of the top 17...- MK Eagle

Backup plan for Snake...
Really - that makes it so much better. Only helps support the idea that solid backup is needed in this position. @ Niccipops - all good - Brett is the best so understand the support & theres no doubt of his dedication to Manly, I know he also knocked back a massive Illawarra offer to stay...- MK Eagle

Backup plan for Snake...
Whats ridiculous is the dinosaur mentality of not looking to the future where there is an obvious area of concern. How many games did Brett play in 2012 & 2013?? Do you think when he did play, he was fully fit?? Do you really think its a guess he wont be fully fit again & that another injury...- MK Eagle

Stewing On Glenn's Deal
This was the nail in the coffin with Hasler for me, 1 thing to cut deals with the enemy & try sneak your best players with you to the dark side. It went way further with this attempt to plot the demise of the team he was coaching, keep in mind at the time there was to be no increase to the...- MK Eagle

Backup plan for Snake...
Still recall Snake in 1 of his 1st games vs Sharks - 2 slashing long range tries & thinking - "YES -we have our own Brett Mullins" - well he only got better. I lean towards Hiku early, he is tough & reliable & though he lacks dash so did Ridge, though he made up for it with silky skills as Hiku...- MK Eagle

Backup plan for Snake...
Firstly I will state Snake is not only my favourite Seaeagles player but THE most important player at Manly. The thing is, his legs seem to be getting worse & quickly. Anyone who has had major knee injuries will know they effect strength, balance , speed & confidence, plus have a snowball...- MK Eagle

SBW in the GF
The thing SBW or Robinson got right, was move him from attacking the right edge where Foran & Matai made him look 2nd rate & played him on the left edge & mid field. Lack of closing him down proved fatal, without his 2 moments we go on to win by 10 - 16 points imo. PS - Watch for the new...- MK Eagle

2014 Ladder Predictions
In no particular order I think you are pretty close but not sold on Penrith. They played above themselves in 2013 & not convinced Soward is any more than an average half in NRL standards. Definately right about Tomkins - he is world class & if Snake retired today would be happy with him at Manly.- MK Eagle

Grand Final Refereeing Errors You May Have Missed
Watched a replay & noted plenty of these poor calls & more, even a few that went our way. What I did notice is they came home better in the last 30 minutes & either the intensity dropped at the 50 minute mark, or all the tough games caused a massive fatigue at this point. There were lost...- MK Eagle

Why have a Grand Final
Personally love the finals series. Look at the atmosphere in the leadup with every Seaeagles fans going nuts prior to the big game & in fact, right through the finals series. I have seen many games where Manly have had worse calls yet overcome the ref factor but unfortunately not the GF. The...- MK Eagle

2014 Front Row Concerns
Looking ahead Jatz theres a few players I would consider front row workers in the Bryant mould, we have signed for 2014.... No big name front rowers & with Kite/Rose gone it could be regarded a problem area for us as there is plenty of unknown here, as Isz pointed out.. My opinion as a Massive...- MK Eagle

My Perspective - what's yours
The sad part for me is the fact we could have won. Sure there were some poor calls & we got the rough end of the pineapple but there were plenty of key moments that cost the match. The effort was there, but SBW was kept quiet as a kitten 1st half & was allowed so much latitude with the game in...- MK Eagle

2014 Front Row Concerns
This area is our biggest concern for 2014. The part that gives me massive hope is *Jake Trobovic who will be the front rower we have been crying out for & looking for in recent times. This kid will be a premier foward sooner than most think, the most excited I have been about a junior...- MK Eagle

is the end of era?
NO....This is the start of a new era & there are exciting times ahead. Have unearthed some super players, turned unwanted players into quality top graders & the halves who promised to dominate the NRL, now are. Led by Jake Trobovic who will be our foward leader before long & Sao, the areas of...- MK Eagle

Wolf has been GREAT
I still feel theres room for the Uate/Taufua & Wolf style winger Mark. Heres the thing - admittedly he was out jumped by a taller winger in the 1st try but did he have much help or protection?? If Wolf gets a decent pass & scores that try with 9 minutes left , he becomes the matchwinner &...- MK Eagle
