Single biggest issue…
Yes, I question his perceptions of what we need in the forwards...This is a guy who once told Willie Mason that Aiden Tolman was the best prop in the competition. I guess the once thing in his favour is recruitment is a slow moving beast. Sure, he's been there since 2019 but the game has only...- Snake

Single biggest issue…
I think the answer to the forward conundrum involves junior recruitment. Chasing big name forwards (like Payne Haas) with our salary cap is impossible. I like the Aloiai signing because he has some leg speed and did not break the bank but to get 2-3 others, we probably need to look internally. I...- Snake

Yep...there's times when I wanna pick Dessie's brain about the recruitment/retention. I like what he's done with the backline, but the pack needs heaps of work.- Snake

I deliberately left it out - as I mentioned in the post that went with the poll - what is the most significant? I came up with the different issues for the poll, because they're all playing a part. Collectively, they've added up to a pretty ordinary season.- Snake

I think we'd really notice what DCE does if he wasn't there. He has some weaknesses in his game but he was playing behind the Penrith pack, I think he'd be destroying opposition.- Snake

Single biggest issue…
With the season pretty well done and dusted, I’m curious to know what people see as the biggest footballing issue at Manly… Of course, there can be (and probably is) more than one contributing factor, but what is the biggest? Personally, I don’t like the lack of leg speed in the middle. I...- Snake

Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic
I think Ben is just solid. He won’t let anyone down but he is not going to turn a game on its head. A solid player shows their worth week in week out by consistently working hard and not letting their teammates down. When that kind of player gets 15 minutes here and there, it can be...- Snake

Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic
I wouldn’t get too excited about Flanno. He won a premiership (so did Michael McGuire lol) but everything else about his time at Cronulla was mediocre. He won them a spoon. They limped into the finals a couple of times. Made the top four once. He was hardly an elite coach in the vein of Bellamy...- Snake

The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
I’ve seen enough footy to know what consistently wins big games…players like Schuster help you win scoring shootouts against the Tigers and Bulldogs. Players like Foran help you win close finals.- Snake

Gracious Ricky Stuart
Salmon was 11 when Stuart left Cronulla so I doubt it.- Snake

Post-Game Discussion Manly v Eels [Round 21, 2022]
He needs to develop an in and away…he’s too lanky to step a fullback but he should be fast enough to feign running in one direction before gradually changing to the other. Gutho did it to Garrick last night and he is nowhere near Saab’s speed.- Snake

Post-Game Discussion Manly v Eels [Round 21, 2022]
Does anyone else feel the 38-0 magic round drubbing was the writing on the wall for this year? I knew there and then that we were long odds to play finals this year. That was the low point of the year for sure.- Snake

[Resurrected] Lachlan Croker
I really like Croker and think his defence is such a massive piece of our puzzle but he still really struggles to have any impact with the ball and I think it’s hurting us big time. There’s just no threat or variation or subtlety around the ruck for Manly. Essentially, unless we can run a block...- Snake

Garrick’s Stocks Rising
Des is notorious for pushing players through injury. Always done it. Also, when you have to be the last line of defence as often as Garrick had to be last night, you’ve got bigger problems than his fitness to worry about. Garrick still caught his bombs and chimed into the attack nicely (one...- Snake
