    Origin Halfback

    Apparently both Head and Gower look uncertain to play before the team is selected, so the Ox looks a shoe-in.

    Google ranking of Silvertails

    What's happened to the Google ranking of Silvertails??? If I previously entered "Manly NRL" or "Silvertails" into google, this site appeared near the top. In the last couple of days the site seems to have dropped off the "Manly NRL" selection and to have dropped down the ranking of...

    Half & five-eighth defence

    Half & five-eighth defence Preston's a well-known turnstile and he's being well shielded. But he's not the only one that might be considered pretty easy targets. Some big names: Head 6 tackles, 68% Kimmorley 21 tackles, 67% Barrett 12 tackles, 72% Lockyer 13 tackles, 70%...

    Lyon to Sign with Parra??

    The TV news was the same. Virtually signed now.

    Finch

    Good call tookey! Hadn't thought of that. It was actually a genuine offer, not an insult.

    Lyon to Sign with Parra??

    If that were the case, why would the Parra players not support Lyon? And why would he want to be with players that sided with the club against him and criticised him and expressed distrust of him and said they didn't want to play with him. In any case, someone should speak to Lyon and...

    Finch

    My rating of Finch increased when I saw his tackle effectiveness in today's herald. It was outstanding. Sticking up for Braith showed loyalty to him - fair enough - but poor judgement because Braith's been shocking and secondly because dumping on his fans & the media wasn't needed.

    Half & five-eighth defence

    Half & five-eighth defence For Burns to be the highest tackler out of the 30 halves and the 5/8ths in the comp is fantastic . For him to beat the next best of these 30 players by more than 30% shows an incredible work ethic and also shows Des' confidence in him. Clearly, unlike most halves...

    Half & five-eighth defence

    Half & five-eighth defence You're misreading the table, Wheel. The first table lists total tackles & the second shows effective tackle percentages, not missed tackle percentages. So Burns featuring at or near the top of both is a good thing. Your observation about lack of weaknesses in...

    New Realism at Manly

    That's a sharp insight C/W that Manly have been far more straight talking and honest about problems. Also the issues are being attacked, not the individuals. e.g. Arguing with refs is like pissing into the wind. It's stupid. And the players are acting "stupid" when they do that. But...

    Half & five-eighth defence

    Half & five-eighth defence Here's the 2006 sorted number of tackles per game performed by each team's half & five-eighth: 33 Burns (Manly) 25 Withers (Canberra) 24 Ropati (Warriors) 23 Smith J (Canberra) 22 Dykes (Cronulla) 21 Morris (Eels) 21 Kimmorley (Cronulla) 21 Finch...

    Lyon to Sign with Parra??

    Deja vu. Orford. Other possible interpretations are Lyon's issues being with Smith, not Parra; and Parra being disingenuous in the offer with an agenda of maximising Lyon's disclosed salary cap figure (Fitzg is spiteful). Ideally I'd like to sign both Burns & Lyon if poss, assuring...

    Toiger Team News

    Haven't heard anything but that's what it smelt like to me. Desperate to win & not play him?????? Nah. More likely trying to pressure NZ to use Marshall sparingly so he's fresh and uninjured and a last-minute surprise. I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if Marshall & Hodgson don't play.

    Sam who????

    Harris is an enigma. Apparently has potential, but hasn't produced the goods. His last game or two for us he took it up and offloaded strongly. Why he doesn't play like that normally I don't know. Hodges has been the same. Except this year all of a sudden he's showing his potential and has...

    To the supposed loyal and true supporters ......

    Good call Garts. The huge difference with the change of captancy is the handling of the media. Everytime Kennedy's interviewed, Manly's status is improved. Fills you with pride. Last year, it got to the stage where I was cringeing whenever Monas was interviewed, awaiting the next...

    I'm stumped by the pronunciation of his first name, let alone his second. Anyone know?

    Brett Stewart is out - team v tigers

    Monas hand was not broken so he plays - see Wheel's news on front page. What a mystery on Stewart. No mention of a reason or duration on the MSE site. Only mention is "for what may be an extended period" (no cause) on this site. And now a rumour of 4-6 weeks in this thread. No news...

    Monas to play against Tigers

    Didn't realise Wheel beat me to the punch with his article on the front page. Well done, Wheel.
