    12 & 13

    I like your thinking. Jake to prop. Brown at 13, Lawton second row, burbo to bench. Burbo has had some good patches but has been best in the games when he switched to centre imo. He’s not in our top 2 centres nor in our top 2 second rowers right now. But pretty good bench cover so I’d put...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Humphreys so impressive yesterday with his passing and defence. I wish we could keep him. Brandy’s son is impressing in the juniors so there is a bit of a production line

    Blacktown Workers

    I saw it live. Underwhelming and I couldn’t understand why they didn’t go left more often. The Blacktown team had Parker at left centre most of the game, and Ray outside him. On the few occasions our halves went left we made inroads. The right side attack was poor, and Newcastle scored 3 or 4...

    Pre-Game Manly V Knights [Round 19, 2024]

    I hear you Bob, but that Knights v Raiders game on Sunday was very poor by both teams. Knights not in scintillating form, I guess neither are we, but manly had plenty of fight vs the Cowboys.

    Origin III - The Decider

    Yes, he’s an 80 min back rower, not a bench impact player. If he’s not ahead of the starting backrowers Martin and Crichton then fair enough.

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

    Take another look at the disallowed try due to Saab’s forward pass. Dce does an amazing pass that Saab runs on to and makes the break. Inside him Reuben is held back by cotter (I think) grabbing his jersey. So that means Garrick is not available to receive a simpler pass from Saab. The...

    Game Day Thread (Dark Mode)

    I don’t think a second echo chamber is the answer. One is enough. You may as well start a WhatsApp group with a small group if you want a private chat. I don’t log in much these days, and I must say I am enjoying games more, not dwelling on errors or dud calls as much. This is not a comment...

    Pre-Game Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    He signed today on a million dollar contract. So in silvertails ironstine terms it must be immediate and a million a year. I don’t make the rules.

    Garrick was shouldered in the face, when Dce got hammered off his feet it was a clear shoulder charge. Lots of this throughout the game.

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    I guess so, yeah. But pretty silly of feagai to expect Kyle to be able to stop haumole on his own. Even if Ben wasn’t there, the early slide meant a certain try. It usually needs 3 tacklers to stop haumole in that area. It looked like number 5 was saying “he’s yours” :0)

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    There were a few aspects of both tries unexplored. With haumole’s try the saints player number 5 makes an early decision to go left and mark our outside man/men. This is a key reason why Haumole had a gap to run into. Flanagan initiated the contact with Ben too, he didn’t have to touch him. So...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    I tend to agree, ST has become an echo chamber of negative opinions. There is not much humour on here anymore. I still visit occasionally but it is a yawn fest. Watching the games and seeing good spirits among the boys win or lose is where it’s at.

    Post-Game Discussion Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

    I’m not crying. The goals would have got us closer, but Penrith too professional. Also a couple of nothing penalties got them some momentum in the 2nd half. Manly should learn from that. My main takeaway is that Lawton is not the answer for 60 min of every game. Froggy is maligned on here by...
