    Cust Gone ...

    Can't really comment but Smokin Joe may be able to, what is Zane Harris like? Has played for Workers and our Flegg teams albeit during the COVID era. Has been picked at 9 and played 7.

    'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

    They made fewer mistakes but had the ball the least so what little ball they had they couldn't use. The interesting thing will be whether that is systemic or player related. He has weapons now, Addo-Carr Dufty et el whether his style of play will get the best out of them remains to be seen. Then...

    [Resurrected] Ben Trbojevic hoping to follow in footsteps of big brothers at Manly Sea Eagles

    The intent was to play him there for a few games at Blacktown, see how he goes then get him back in the rotation, then during origin or rest periods switch him there if it did work out. The other alternative should he be in the rotation from the start of the season is move him there during blow...

    [Resurrected] Ben Trbojevic hoping to follow in footsteps of big brothers at Manly Sea Eagles

    Ok left field silly season suggestion. Could Burbo develop into a back up fullback for his brother? Ben is 193 cm tall, 105 kg Tom is 194 cm tall and 102 kg so body wise no great difference. Not sure about speed wise and at this stage from what we have seen Tom has it well and truly over him...

    Fark the Storm

    Chalk and Cheese comparison between the way the Warriors CEO handled the press during their incident and how the Storm CEO handled his situation. Wouldn't even conjecture on what the white substance was as he didn't know !!! When asked if it was sugar he said he would not like to make...

    Annesley's weakly "why this happened" report

    The Keppie incident did not rate a mention in today's briefing.. Obviously the NRL thought it was handled well by the referees. In actual fact one could assume that there was only one game played on the weekend. Oh and apart from the touchie not lining up the conversion for the ref everything...

    Signings very quiet

    I would target a couple of players on Nov 1 with a hope for an early release. Joey Manu - fixes the centre problem and is a ready made cover for FB when required, nice bloke and lots of upside. Then a smokey Matt Doorey he seems to be close with a few of the guys already (links to Saab, Titmus...

    Nothing but pride

    With the finals experience (or lack thereof) that we have, the missing ingredient for me was the hurt of missing out on a GF. We have that pain now in the psyche of our players. It is what is needed to build resilience.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Which other 19 year old in the NRL carries so much expectation from the supporters? I can imagine if he was at 6 and didn't play like he did v Parra EVERY WEEK he would be copping it even worse.

    Annesley's weakly "why this happened" report

    It was interesting watching yesterday. I have had nothing to do so have watched it the last few weeks. Yesterday was different. Normally he doesn't get many hard questions from the jurnos online. Yesterday Rothfield joined the session. He asked the questions that the supporters would ask...

    [Resurrected] Girdler hates us

    Some perspective time. All the hype about how hard the Roosters had it with their injuries. 1. Their squad has played 1706 NRL games v Manly's 1732 2. Their Squad has played 164 rep games v Manly's 124 3. Their squad has now played 133 games of Finals footy v Manly's 85 Go figure

    Milking Penalties ( 2022)

    Simple solution is to err on the side of caution. He went down holding his head and staid down for a few seconds. Should have been a mandatory 15 min HIA assessment and a forced interchange counted as part of your allocation. That will slow the milking down. If a player is really hurt and tries...

    Daniel Ala

    Lets not forget that if push came to shove you have Burbo who has played centre and given the stocks we have in the 2nd row could be an option. Especially if you wanted to rekindle that Schu / Burbo partnership from the juniors.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Roosters [Finals Week 2, 2021]

    The ref asked if it was a report, the bunker must have said no

    Blockers Okay

    So when is a Blocker not a blocker and becomes a Sleeper - NRL Rules state Sleeper - An attacking player who loiters next to the play the ball area and who causes an obstruction will be penalised.

    Blockers Okay

    What I find frustrating when watching the weekly review by Annersley is that he goes to great lengths to emphasize that no two incidents are the same and cannot be compared. Viz a viz the penalty try and no penalty try decisions last weekend. He takes a breath then shows clips of several...

    Other Games [Round 25, 2021] ~Final Round~

    We have had Cummins once this year and conceded 11 infringements and the Knights conceded just 2. The Cowboys have had him 3 times losing the counts twice. Roosters have had Sutton twice this season and have gone down v Penrith 11-9 and up v Knights 11-8 they have only won the count 7 times...

    HELLO top 4

    How much store do we put in history? No team has won the comp after conceding 50 points or more during the regular season. Therefore, if history repeats - Eels, Roosters and Souths are no chance. Leaving Storm, Penrith, Manly, Newcastle, Raiders and Sharks as the only ones with histories chance...

    Latrell Mitchell’s ban

    Mitchell didn't miss Manu and Robinson didn't miss Perenara either. One goes for 4 weeks at least and one goes for $20k and maybe one gets sacked for missing the whole show in the bunker.
