    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    I noticed last week he had terrible marks on both sides of his face. Was worried he wasn't well then.

    MVP: Rd 18 v Souths

    3. Turbo 2. Simpkin 1. Koula Again though, Lodge and TKO were good first up, and Sipley had his best stint in a long time.

    Sione's the one who's surprised me. Props generally take longer to develop, but he always showed a lot of promise in the lower grades. I wasn't happy when he left for the Tigers, but I figured we still had Samuela and Latu so it didn't matter quite so much. And he had to bide his time at the...

    Tigers sign Feledy

    I think you are thinking of Miski, in the UK.

    Game Day: Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Mentioned this earlier in the week, but I think the Souths side matches up a lot better against us than people think. Yes, they've lost a lot of games in a row, but so had Newcastle and the Titans till we played them back into form. We will have to fight and snap and win the middle, and not go...

    That moustache on that head is not a good idea. He looks like a hobbit in a leather bar, cruising for a bit of Bag End rough trade.

    Tigers sign Feledy

    Turns out… we do! Good thinking, Disco. Turns out the Tigers are still crap! Good thinking, me. Yeah, he's still pretty much the same size as he was when he was 16. I thought he was a fantastic prospect when he was tearing it up in the juniors - really smart player, great leader as well. But I...

    The most joy Trent Barrett has ever had at a Dogs game. See him jumping around in the box? Usually he does that dead-behind-the-eyes Ken doll thing. For once he was - quite literally - animated.

    All NRL Games [Round 18, 2025]

    I'm pretty sure we tried, but he went to the Dogs instead:-) And yes, I jokingly replied that nobody had any love for Billy Waters, not even in the Walters clan, but he has been playing really well as an impact player. Am I right that the Broncos haven't lost a game since we belted them at...

    I can barely walk and talk once the jet lag kicks in. Kevin Ward, on the other hand, gets off a plane and powers Manly to a grand final victory.

    I'd been thinking about this highlight - one of the rare Northern Eagles highlights I can remember - ever since this thread arose from the dead. Again, pretty early on in King's career, and what a great way to announce himself. Thanks for posting!

    Have any VHS tapes of 1993 Manly games?

    I was at that game. Wasn't much else to cheer about from a Manly perspective that afternoon. But man, Elsegood had such a great rookie year. I remember one try, very early on in the season, where he took the ball from a tap and put on an outrageous side step to break through the line and score...

    Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?

    Everything will be clear by season's end. Right now, we can go one of two ways: find some form, string a few wins together (doesn't even need to be that many given current ladder positions) and end up inside the top eight, or continue to explore new levels of mediocrity and wind up missing the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Pleasantly surprised to see we're sticking with Jazz and Simpkin at hooker.

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    So now we have at least two more than we did a few days ago. @XV-1, you should start threads like this one more often!

    I hate the bloke, so I'd much prefer he stuck with your lot.:-) But I also heard the Cowboys (who will need a hooker next year) are another potential destination.

    Just followed your link, Andrew. Somebody else has chimed in and is now saying he's gone to the Bulldogs. Even though I have no idea who he is, I'll be disappointed if that's right. :-)
