    Fresh from the hill - yabbas this time

    Deserved win. Watmough could have had 3 tries, should have been awarded one (ref erred in not going to video) and finished with none. You watched a different game to me if you thought Orford was hot and cold. Only criticism I could find for Orford was that a lot of his kicks found the man...

    Travis Burns

    This kid can play. Sign up Travis long term - quick. Burns is now starting to get confidence running at holes - and what a difference! He set up the Stewart try that started the comeback by running off Orford. He is only a whisker away from creating real trouble for opposition defences...

    Glover 1976, Peterson 2006

    How good was that! Kite saved the game with that unbelievably determined run through 4 good defenders. And yes, Matty kicked the winning field goal to top off a great game. But the killer for me was the unnoticed parallel between the 1976 grand final and the 2006 grand final. Neither of...

    Brent Kite you cost us the game

    Understand where you're coming from Corso_Pete. But it's a discipline thing. Like players not turning up for training. If it's not stamped on, then it becomes a cancer infecting the player's attitude. There is NO positive outcome from arguing with a competent referee. And Travis is...

    Back 2 basics !

    Be happy to release Kite, but only because we paid too much for him (not his fault). He's big and has a high workrate, and we could spend our money better elsewhere. Need a quality replacement. An unfortunate game tonight, but that happens sometimes. Lyon at five-eighth would be ideal...

    Back 2 basics !

    Give it a break Downie. Why didn't you say Watmough still has a habit of missing tackles leading to tries ? (which he does). Dunners was only one of several tacklers that didn't complete their job on that ONE Cooper try that you're talking about. Several players stood looking at runners...

    Brent Kite you cost us the game

    Really, tactical decisions cost Manly the game 1. Saints first try - Saints tacked 1 metre out from the posts. 4 players in position - Kite, King, Stewart and another midget (Orford?). King & Kite decide to move wide and the midgets stayed in close. Can you believe it??? 6 points gift...

    Forget Lyon.........sign this bloke

    Lyon's clearly a better player and offers more. But Hannay is quality, will not let you down, good defender, v good goalkicker (especially after Arnold gets to him)- and a fraction of the cost. We're short of depth in the three quarters so if we don't get Lyon, Hannay's a real option and...

    Brent Kite you cost us the game

    Kite dropped balled deep in our half THREE times late in the game - that directly cost us 8 points - and any hope of winning. The first - Saints pressed our line and on their last tackle threw a wild pass 10 metres out that Kite only needed to fall on - or stop and pick it up. Instead he...

    Five-Eighth Poll

    These youngsters have no idea! Can't blame them if they haven't seen them play. Always been a Hoppa fan from the time he came through the juniors, but he's behind Boustead who's behind arguably the best winger ever in Irvine. Ribot, much as I hate his guts, is another dominant winger that...

    Just wondering if we fought this as one

    Daniel, It's a strong man(/woman) who can reflect honestly on his actions, objectively see and admit what needs to change, and not get caught in blaming others. That's the sort of leader I'd happily follow any day.

    Dunley must go.

    I had been most impressed with Cuthbo too and find it difficult to believe that he's not on the bench. As for Ballin, I can't comment. After the disgraceful, sickening treatment of loyal Manly supporters last year on the MSE forum, I've resolved to not do anything which directly provides...

    Andrew Walker - Weekend Article

    Who said anything about scot free? I'm taking about balance and perspective in sanctions, and a fair go and a helping hand to someone in trouble who has provided plenty of positives to both sports. If you tested as having used cocaine whilst a Canteen Worker would that mean that you couldn't...

    Five-Eighth Poll

    All respects to Cliffy, but Cliff Lyons is the best five-eighth ever in the maroon and white only if you ignore Bozo for the position. If Fulton had been included as an option for the position, then he would have been overwhelmingly voted as the best five-eighth ever in the maroon and white by...

    Just wondering if we fought this as one

    Daniel, Good move. Good attitude. We can only hope Manly admin's approach is similarly mature. What stuns me about all of this is the club's apparent narrow-minded, defensive attitude. Surely someone there realises these supporter groups, and the supporters that prefer them, are HUGE...

    Andrew Walker - Weekend Article

    A two year ban by the code for a non-performance enhancing drug? Give me a break. Can understand individual employers not being willing to risk it, but for the CODE to ban him in Australia AND overseas, and for him to be similaly banned from Union is ludicrous, Different issue if it was...

    Dunley must go.

    "Yes, Dunley does have some impact in attack. " At last a little bit of balance. He does have an impact - especially on tiring defences. Have a look at the tackle after his run. Very often its a quick play the ball with the opposition on the back foot because he's elusive and fast...
