    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Sadly games against Storm are never a two-sided contest. Storm are playing today not only against Manly, but also the 3rd member of this tri-sided contest, the rules and officials and trying to either milk them or get the better of them. Yes, Harry Grant, I'm looking at you.

    NRL Games [Round 5, 2025]

    NRL go to Vegas and boast our players aren't scared they have "no helmets". Now back home they penalise all the players for love taps to the unprotected head due to being scared everyone will get sued. American probably asks, and maybe soon the law companies, so why aren't you NRL wearing...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Good omen. Found this wonderful SMH newspaper pic from Rd 3 in 2005 while clearing out old stuff yesterday. Surprised it hasn't seemingly been used again anywhere since 2005. Is the game-winning try in Manly's 25-18 victory over Storm. Looking back it is arguably THE moment Manly's 2005 to 2014...

    Manly Trivia

    In 1978 Johnny Gibbs kicked a field goal to give Manly a 1-0 lead vs Sharks (about 14m 10s in the video). In 1986 it was repeated when Cliff Lyons kicked a field goal vs Canberra to give Manly a 1-0 lead. Try it in 2025 and the media will create an uproar about spot fixing betting allegations.

    NRL Games [Round 4, 2025]

    Dr Google found ex Kiwi international Gene Ngamu being involved with Manly Oval, so it probably is him at Brookie. Thank you to former Kiwis league international Gene Ngamu who, as the Green Options Landscape Management lead groundsman at Manly Oval, played a crucial role in supporting our club...

    Seibs should be calling his old England RU five-eighth Owen Farrell. Point to SBW example and it's time to challenge yourself in league. He is from Wigan. Son of Andy Farrell. And he is talent.

    Have you ever seen the rain? He ain't going to lead a Brookie Pittwater revival.

    Manly have only ever won a grand final with an ex Manly player as coach. Go knock on the Clearys door and see if father and son want to try a new challenge for 2026 on.

    I keep thinking this DCE is as much about feeding traditional and social media as anything else. This has happened to Manly before with Hasler, Fulton and Lyons all not offered new contracts. World didn't end. After 257 games for the Manly club over 12 seasons, Manly did not offer Hasler a...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110830443 The secretary of the Manly club, Ken Arthurson, said today that his committee had decided reluctantly to end negotiations to resign Fulton. The committee met last night after North Sydney's offer of a reported $40,000 a-season to the champion centre...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    Was a long tim ago. Wasn't there even a tv commercial made in the Manly dressing room, with Frank Stanton "What's that other team, Bozo?" "Oh Easts, Frank" and the team all laughing. But your memory seems better than mine. Here's a story 3 days after the grand final all about Bozo and Easts...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    This whole thing is just silliness. If DCE retires at the end year or goes to another club, what's the freakin' difference to Manly. If he was a 23 year old Phil Blake, ok i get it. But he isn't. Geezus get over it. No one booed Bozo in 1976 when it was an open secret where he was going at the...

    Mestrov & Penn vs DCE: Who is lying?

    DCE doesn't warrant any booing. He is a Manly great, no matter what happens the next 2 years. Same as 1976 grand final winning season Manly when Fulton then went to the Roosters for 2 seasons and won nothing. Remember in the video below when some wanted to boo Ron Gibbs in 1987 and the hill had...

    Like every club the players are here for 2025 and to win this season. This won't derail Manly's 2025 season. Manly made the 1995 grand final in the middle of a super league war that erupted in March and April 1995 and players were signing for 1996 all over the place.
