    I respect your views Cochrane. If you don't like him that's fine. That's a personal choice. I just suspect many look for fault, pretending its not about personal dislike that causes me concern I just feel DCE has been demonised for factors others display with impunity I suspect its because he...

    See this is where I disagree strongly. He is the one player in this team who has shown commitment. He may be slowing down this year but he's the oldest first grader around. What do you expect? The fantasy point system testifies to his commitment through stats that have him regularly one of...

    In a side like Melbourne,I feel he would be considered easily one of the very best players this generation. Same with Penrith, Sydney City. He was an exceptional talent otherwise how is to QLD selectors continuously brought him into their side, despite his unpopularity owing the the Titan's...

    MVP: Rd 24 v Tigers

    3. Koula. A star 2. Burbo Tackled his heart out. No missed tackles 1. DCE I'm convinced age has caught up with him. Not commitment. Just an aging body few other players could manage in first grade

    Seibold should be giving young Walsh a spot on the bench to give him a taste of first grade. Cant understand the coaches we've had over the past decade. Other coaches give their young players opportunities. Manly's recent coaches seem too fearful of giving them a go. That's why we lost so many...

    [Resurrected] Tom Wright

    Sorry Woodsie but the subject was raised and the issues even in recent times remain relevant. Or have you missed how effective the Sea Eagles have performed in the past decade. Point had been made. I move on.

    [Resurrected] Tom Wright

    Never had a serious chance Al. Played four first grade games with Manly and I think at least two of those games were not full 80 minute affairs. There is no way you could determine a player's potential after that short a time, yet Manly let him go. It was intended that he play centre according...

    We were blessed at centre

    Not quite as good as the lot I picked in my opinion but they could be devastating, especially Cleal.

    [Resurrected] Tom Wright

    We know how to choose the good ones and then let them go before they show what they can do. Gutherson, Wright, Weekes etc. Boy we could have used those three in the last decade. But no, the recruitment group knew best, didn't they, despite the protests of the fans. Captain and best player of the...

    We were blessed at centre

    Yes forgot Matai. He's in that group. What I recall was McDonald was tall, solid and could motor. Bit like a fast Lowe in the centres, Branigan was silky smooth, Gartner and Shearer were just damn quick, O'Connor wasn't tough but clever, Hill was like Matai, hard running tough, great fend...

    We were blessed at centre

    Innes was a top line centre but he was fortunate at Manly to have Terry Hill, who helped create space for Innes on many occasions (sometimes illegally by briefly holding an opposition player long enough to allow Innes to run through a gap). Amused me how often he got away with it. Hill in my...

    My only concern would be throwing Walsh into a team that has lost its way. Not opposed to it. Would be nice though starting your career in a winning team.

    Johnny Mayes

    And then for those old enough there was Frank Stanton, who was actually Manly's star back in the mid 60s playing half and centre. He was actually a very clever player and should have played for Australia.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Getting back to recruitment, I think Manly's greatest need is good ball players. That is players who can create opportunities for others. There has been a dearth of such talent at Manly for the past decade. During Manly's halcyon days between 2007-15, they had the advantage of several ball...
