    My top 10 experiences supporting Manly

    I stayed overnight outside the gates of the SCG, always a unique experience, I was already on a high as my Carlton Blues won the VFL grand final the day before and we listened to the BBC world service to listen to the English football, I got about two hours sleep, we sat on the seats in front...

    My top 10 experiences supporting Manly

    Hey there everyone, 2025 makes it the 50th year of supporting Manly and I want to let you know what are my top ten moments that I enjoyed the most over this time. Please note that these are games I actually attended. Moment 10: The 1976 grand final win. I was 9 years of age, my Dad started...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    The boy was given every opportunity at Manly, the club invested in an 800k a year contract and that was on potential. Since 2022 his form has been frankly abject and the club did the right thing moving him on. You can have all the talent in the world but you have to work hard and want it and...

    Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack

    Jake I believe should play no more than 65 minutes a game and he is a solid prop these days. We need some speed from a 13 to take the heat off our 6 and 7!

    Trial V Panthers

    What was so evident in the game was our failure to control the ruck and play the ball speed, we were lapped in that space and the penalties and six agains conceded were a result of that. Penrith play the same way all through their grades, they are very disciplined and strangle you through field...

    Trial V Panthers

    Penrith have a winning culture all through their club, this might be a 3rd string team but their play is identical to their first grade. Manly plodding along committing every error on the spin. Thank goodness its only a trial, its obvious that this team still struggles in the wet and they must...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    The boy is damaged. He needs support and I am not sure he is getting it. Prodigious talent who has not been able to maintain the fitness needed to excel at the top. I cannot remember the last time I saw him smile on the field and his last 3 years at Manly were so poor. The boy is a free spirit...

    Club News 2025

    Apart from the injuries, far too many suspensions have really underlined his performance at our club.

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    We have to learn to control the ruck with and without the ball, too many times we are schooled in that area and its holding us back, we need a running 9 who can kick from dummy half to ease the pressure on our halves. That is why Melbourne and Penrith are so dangerous, they never seem to be out...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    After watching the grand final live one thing really stood out for me was the structure and systems of the Storm and Penrith is they just do the 101s so well, watching that game was like a game of chess and it was one or 2 small errors that decided it. Manly have to develop that sort of...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    Our defence is the obvious barrier to us being a top 4 team. We have a glaring weakness down our left side especially, Saab and Garrick get it wrong too many times and DCE is more vulnerable now. I think we need to have 2 x hookers playing and we need them to control our ruck and run from...

    1986 MANLY

    I remember 1986 as a year where a premiership was a real possibility, the team beat the Whingers, the Filth dogs and Dragons away from home and were top 3 for most of the season. It all fell apart in the last two rounds losing to the Vermin and Whinger back to back and then undone by the Tigers...

    2025 Origin period - Blessing or Curse?

    Origin stifles the league, play origin over a period of 3 weekends mid season so the comp is not affected and its fair to all teams!!

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    Everytime Burbo plays centre, he gets totally exposed and we concede far too many points. At best a backrower or bench but please not at Centre!!

    Young Cruz death to the riff harold mats.

    The Riff have a million and one juniors and poach one of our prospects. You cant blame the kid their system is superior to every club right now. We need to do better to retain our young prospects!

    [Resurrected] Ezra Mam

    What a joke!! This guy drives under the influence, nearly kills people. The sanction is ridiculous. The NRL bottled cause hell know we cant upset the donkeys and he should seriously buy a lottery ticket as his sanction belies the seriousness of what he chose to do that day!

    If we are to go all the way in 2025 who is in our 17?

    For Manly to go all the way a few big changes need to happen. We need a 9 who controls the ruck and creates. That is a huge deficit we have right now. Our current lock needs to play front row. We need more speed and creativity in our scrum base. We must fix our right side defence which is a...
