    Manly vs Warriors [Round 20 2014]

    Watched the replay of this yesterday. How tough is Foran? He went flying after the mutual shoulder charge with mini-dump truck Hurrell but it was Hurrell who had trouble getting up. Perhaps it's a coincidence but Hurrell had been monstering us up until that point but afterwards he was only...

    Supposed "Crisis at Manly" Megathread

    I am afraid this is not a "supposed" crisis. It is the real thing. The most chilling line I think from the article was this "Whether or not that (the salary cap) was the reason Glenn was forced out I am not so sure." That shows to me a very deep distrust in the club

    To the legends from the fans.

    I had hoped all the players involved would be Manly for their careers but realistically the salary cap was always working against that. I have no real idea of the ins and outs of this issue other than what is reported but I would say to those thinking of leaving that other Manly men have done...

    Supposed "Crisis at Manly" Megathread

    From what I have read (with no inside info) I get the impression that the board schism is finally filtering down to the players. It is perhaps remarkable that the team remained insulated from it for so long.

    NSW & Holden Cups - Round 19 Team Lists, Info & Results etc.

    The highlights video of the reggies game is up on the NSWRL website. http://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2014/07/23/mounties_v_sea_eagles_vb_nsw_cup_rd_19.html It does give a sense of the gulf between that and first grade. There are some easy runs through the middle for tries from both sides. One of...

    Glenn Stewart return

    Assuming we get our plan A backrow of Stewart, Watmough and Horo together that leaves Buhrer, Symonds, Lui, King and JSL tussling for a bench spot (assuming that's the pecking order above Hasson and Andrews). Who would drop out? I'd probably say Lui even though he has been pretty consistent.

    Top of the table

    That win gives us effectively a buffer for the Minor Premiership. If we drop a game two teams below are unlikely to overtake us on PD. The teams that could do that are 4 points behind. I'd like us to win the MP not just because I want us to win everything but also for the cash.

    MANLY V ST MERGE [Round 19 2014] 21-7-14

    The game seems almost a footnote now to all reported off-field drama (what's new at the Manly soap opera Sea Eagles?) but I thought it was an outstanding win. The Dragons were desperate, played pretty well error-free in the first half and had some tricks, plus some favourable referreeing...

    Nofoaluma was short

    From TV replays I thought it was grounded short and rolled onto the line (with dubious control). I asked about the legality of this with a previous try against us that I thought was rolled over the line. Anyway, I think it was not a clear try from replays. Even Ray Warren, in the inerminable...

    David Williams

    I'd still like to see Gutherson bulk up a little for first grade. No doubt he has some class but I expected him to get tossed over the sideline with every tackle.

    Glenn Stewart

    What about Watmough? Did suspension include State of Origin?

    Manly v KFC [Round 16 2014]

    "The premiers roll on". Weren't you watching Friday night? The premiers got rolled! The history books say since Manly entered the comp Easts have won (bought perhaps the more operative word) 4 premierships to Manly's 8. Overall head to head: Sea Eagles 81 Roosters 43 Drawn2. That's despite the...

    Manly v KFC [Round 16 2014]

    Arrived back in Australia just in time to catch most of this match. With a fit and in-form Brett Stewart I felt pretty confident and so it turned out. A couple of things perhaps canvassed elsewhere. I can't temember more runs from Ballin. I wonder if this was a surprise tactic for the Chooks...

    Sponsorship

    I saw the Kyocera announcement too on email. At the supporters' function in Melbourne we were told of the struggle to find sponsors with a saturation of professional clubs in four football codes in a relatively small population competing for endorsement. So congrats to the club on continuing to...

    Manly v Newcastle [Round 10 2014]

    On Uate's try, it appeared he grounded it short of the line and rolled it there under his arm. Is that OK? Double movement I would have thought as he didn't really have forward momentum.

    Blues Team

    Bad luck Taufua (probably did himself no favours with last night's catching display) but very happy we only have two bench players in the two sides (remarkable considering we are clear second).

    Last 13mins Storm Game

    This might open me to all sorts of accusations of negativity but the disappointing aspect of both Storm losses for me is that our onfield leaders did not take charge the way theirs did at the end. Even our last play at AAMI was bad. Shovel along the backs and kick it out on the 4th. While there...

    Raiders looking at Gutherson

    We took Chee Kam from the Raiders u20s and they weren't happy about it. Keeping talented juniors is challenging now.

    Manly V Storm [Round 9 2014]

    It's been reported on a News Ltd site that Buhrer could be put in the halves (if DCE does not play). This doesn't fill me with optimism. Still I would never write us off. I think if we defend well we could scrag a win as the Storm aren't quite the power they were and will be missing some...
