    Top of the table

    That win gives us effectively a buffer for the Minor Premiership. If we drop a game two teams below are unlikely to overtake us on PD. The teams that could do that are 4 points behind. I'd like us to win the MP not just because I want us to win everything but also for the cash.

    MANLY V ST MERGE [Round 19 2014] 21-7-14

    The game seems almost a footnote now to all reported off-field drama (what's new at the Manly soap opera Sea Eagles?) but I thought it was an outstanding win. The Dragons were desperate, played pretty well error-free in the first half and had some tricks, plus some favourable referreeing...

    Nofoaluma was short

    From TV replays I thought it was grounded short and rolled onto the line (with dubious control). I asked about the legality of this with a previous try against us that I thought was rolled over the line. Anyway, I think it was not a clear try from replays. Even Ray Warren, in the inerminable...

    David Williams

    I'd still like to see Gutherson bulk up a little for first grade. No doubt he has some class but I expected him to get tossed over the sideline with every tackle.

    What about Watmough? Did suspension include State of Origin?

    Manly v KFC [Round 16 2014]

    "The premiers roll on". Weren't you watching Friday night? The premiers got rolled! The history books say since Manly entered the comp Easts have won (bought perhaps the more operative word) 4 premierships to Manly's 8. Overall head to head: Sea Eagles 81 Roosters 43 Drawn2. That's despite the...

    Manly v KFC [Round 16 2014]

    Arrived back in Australia just in time to catch most of this match. With a fit and in-form Brett Stewart I felt pretty confident and so it turned out. A couple of things perhaps canvassed elsewhere. I can't temember more runs from Ballin. I wonder if this was a surprise tactic for the Chooks...

    Sponsorship

    I saw the Kyocera announcement too on email. At the supporters' function in Melbourne we were told of the struggle to find sponsors with a saturation of professional clubs in four football codes in a relatively small population competing for endorsement. So congrats to the club on continuing to...

    Manly v Newcastle [Round 10 2014]

    On Uate's try, it appeared he grounded it short of the line and rolled it there under his arm. Is that OK? Double movement I would have thought as he didn't really have forward momentum.

    Blues Team

    Bad luck Taufua (probably did himself no favours with last night's catching display) but very happy we only have two bench players in the two sides (remarkable considering we are clear second).

    Last 13mins Storm Game

    This might open me to all sorts of accusations of negativity but the disappointing aspect of both Storm losses for me is that our onfield leaders did not take charge the way theirs did at the end. Even our last play at AAMI was bad. Shovel along the backs and kick it out on the 4th. While there...

    Raiders looking at Gutherson

    We took Chee Kam from the Raiders u20s and they weren't happy about it. Keeping talented juniors is challenging now.

    Manly V Storm [Round 9 2014]

    It's been reported on a News Ltd site that Buhrer could be put in the halves (if DCE does not play). This doesn't fill me with optimism. Still I would never write us off. I think if we defend well we could scrag a win as the Storm aren't quite the power they were and will be missing some...

    Brett Stewart - Origin?

    I am afraid from my Manly-centric view of the world I want none of our players in Origin (Taufua is maybe OK on the wing but he still got hurt playing nines) and certainly not Stewart. Queensland can win forever as far as I am concerned as long as we win some comps.

    Manly v Raiders full game

    This has been noted (still with no match for a fortnight we might as well bask) but from the defence side it was tremendous the way we nullified, perhaps even embarrassed, Milford. At one stage he actually ran in a circle when we had him bottled up. Obviously he was rattled with the errors he...

    Manly v Raiders full game

    Being unable to watch it on the day I caught the replay yesterday. My favourite try was Hiku's last. Three superb passes from DCE and the Stewarts. When we play like that we look like a team of five-eighths from back when five-eigths were not just extra little locks. On Hiku perhaps I am wrong...

    Sunday's crowd

    The crowd was extremely disappointing, yes OK it rained (for a while) and Brookie is not the best for wet weather but under 10k on a Sunday arvo is still terrible. The team is performing, the admin seems to bring in new sponsors every other week (I think there was a new one today in a club...

    Why Snake must stay.

    I think the second half capitulation to the Storm was worse than the Tigers loss. To give up a 20-point lead at Brookie and play some really dumb football was worse than being steamrolled at Leichhardt. Stewart had a bad comeback match there but still did some good things defensively and set up...

    Stewart confirmed with the Raiders

    Hold on, I thought the Stewarts were going to rugby, King to the Raiders, DCE to netball and Wolfie to The Footballer Wants a Wife reality show. Nicely done
