    The Ruck

    Couldn’t agree more. We like it loose. Assume the opponent will let us play and hope passes stick. Plan B is wait to get the ball back and try again

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    I think it’s fair to say by the closeness of the results, that manly do rise to the occasion. The truely annoying part is they don’t rise above, they are almost always just below. Just imagine if they actually had a standard they could maintain or effort that they brought each week. You can...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I’ll rephrase. We are great against lacklustre opponents. Storm were flat, Penrith rnd 1 were likewise. Energetic and disciplined sides have us covered. A couple of good wins sure but many more that were terrible. We are extremely ordinary and our style of play is rocks or diamonds. But hey...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    The coaching staff have gone all out on this touch football style of a game. It’s failed miserably and only worries other non tacklers. Good sides have no troubles with us. Sadly we are going to have another wasted 3 year term from a coach who didn’t work out. My only hope is we don’t resign...

    Manly - Top 8

    In reality we aren’t really fighting for the 8. We simply aren’t that good or committed. Our hope is to avoid being humiliated in the process of failure. IF they play with heart and have a genuine dig then losing is tolerable. What we’ve seen so far gives me little hope

    Manly - Top 8

    Mate we are just learning, it’s all about learning lessons and as you say, little fixes. This side is delivering the same tripe they have since 2016. Small periods of good form but never enough to balance out the chronic flat spots and downright shockers. We were conned into thinking this side...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    Saints are playing with commitment and speed with and without the ball. We look so slow thru the middle and statue like in defence. Saints love playing us. A huge form reversal for manly to get close. Saints by plenty unfortunately

    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    Sadly that’s our good 40 mins. Now watch our fade out

    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    Same **** every game. What are the odds on storm scoring immediately after halftime and then 3 in 10 minutes to finish the game. All the ball, all the advantage and stuff all to show for it

    The Clean Out 2024 Post

    DCE is not the issue. He is blu chip and never misses a game. A lot of $ but he has been value. The T’s are crippling the joint. It’s like they are getting a local junior loading. They were never going to leave and are now so overpaid vs their value, it almost guarantees the club cannot surround...

    The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group

    That’s it. Our squad is actually worse. We may get lucky with a medical retirement but with the big 3 likely to play longer than they should it will take a ruthless and brave admin to pick players on form. Jake’s speed in 2026 is going to be entertaining not to mention TomS body.

    The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group

    This must the longest period of learning or a work in progress ever. Playing very poorly and losing winnable games and then lifting but still losing harder ones is not a recent trend. You can bank on it. It’s beyond the coach. It’s just the manly way. Love your optimism but are we better than...

    70 minutes ok - 10 shockers

    Look at the grit of that Canberra side. All the excuses to get run over with 2 men down. They played tough. If only Manly could muster that kind of care factor ever. manly have zero fight. They need things to go their way and play pretty. Have no trouble following a struggling side but this...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    They will get flogged by a far more committed and disciplined Melbourne. I suspect the players are still learning

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Agree but we are conceding more than we are scoring. Plan B as is defend and play tight if it’s wet, or if they are rushing up, or you are protecting a lead, or near half time. We are trying to score off every play. No one wins consistently doing that

    That "Empty" feeling

    Exactly we are 100% attack and nothing else. No grit no graft. The fact they were even contemplating playing schuster in the second row gives you an idea of the mentality.

    That "Empty" feeling

    We only get interested when we have the ball

    If manly get within 40 points I’m taking as a positive…… and for second half

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    The poor bloke went all in on a team of sprinters. Great if sides let us play and give us room. But we seem to have no plan B. We run around like idiots and then just wait to get the ball back. All out attack is a shock weapon. Not sure if we copying someone or trying to a trend but no ones...

    This site is entertaining ...

    I wished I shared some people’s optimism but it’s hard to ignore history. This is straight out of the playbook circa 2016 to 2024. Moments of greatness but so many more that are just sub par and inexplainable. Almost always involving limited resilience, poor defence and endless quotes about...
