    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    That should read "or is it just something you assume??

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    I would regard attitude & behaviour as being very important aspects of a Professional Sports person. In fact it is what's missing from some of the best players and this can detract from their performance. A player's character can be just as important as their natural talent. Some 'just' above...

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    Yes, Parker's defence is very good, he reads the play well. In attack he can make a break and then offload to a faster player.

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    I forgot about Lodge, he is an enforcer. He could come off the Bench. Is he injured? When is he due to return? When is Saab due to return? My observation is that a few of Manly's Backs are only effective when in open space. In defence and under the high ball they are not as effective as other...

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    Great to see my comments have played 'Devil's Advocate' and stirred the pot. I'd like to get some input from Max Krilich as he is someone I respect and admire. I remember the days when the media would interview Max to get his opinion on a current Rugby League matter. Nick-named 'Thrower', he is...

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    No, Old mate did watch the NSW Cup game today. Even though they got flogged 38-10, there were a few players that I would promote to 1st Grade. Parker, Bullemor, Wakeham, Woods, Schuster?? Woods needs to 'channel' Beetson and offload the ball in tackles. Schuster needs to run some angles and draw...

    Stop the Clock when play has stopped, like they do in AFL.

    Another 10 minutes and we may have won the game. Our defence was OK, it was our points scoring that was in disarray for most of the game. Another 10 minutes and ...............

    Or 50 minute halves without Clock stops.

    Do Manly need to bring some players from NSW Cup into 1st Grade?

    Watching Sea Eagles 1st Grade team play today made me very sad and depressed. I know that I need to see a Psychologist after watching Manly play so badly, though may be the Players do as well. I mean who was the guy wearing the #1 Jersey, has he played the game b4?? The guy wearing the #7 Jersey...

    Stop the Clock when play has stopped, like they do in AFL.

    It infuriates and frustrates me when the Clock keeps ticking whilst we all wait for a scrum to pack. When the Referee blows their whistle for a knock-on or a forward pass or a penalty or a Captain's Challenge, for any reason, and the play has stopped, they should stop the Clock. I haven't timed...

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    Manly fans and keen observers will remember the Refereeing 'blunders' in the 2013 GF. Even Roosters fans I've spoken to about the 2013 GF admit that their were a lot of errors in their favour. It makes you wonder where the 'officials' were looking when the incidences occured. Were they...

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    When the 6 agains and penalties started to go against Manly, Phil Gould made the comment that "Referees don't like it when one team starts to dominate the game" The penalties were given at the wrong end of the field and at a time in the game that had an adverse effect on Manly's energy levels...

    Manly's defence can win Premiership 2024!! Discuss.

    Manly's round 2 victory over The Roosters at Brookie was based on their defence. There was too much lost ball and a disallowed try that disgusted Gus Gould, that kept Manly's score to 21. Manly's defence was powerful and effective, stopping a quality Roosters side from scoring more than 14...

    AUSTRALIA DAY, Why we celebrate. The Truth

    Apart from a small % of people the Labor Party is still quite a conservative political party. Gough Whitlam was Constituition Monarchist, that's why he accepted his sacking by the Govenor General. I told Gough many years later that he should have called in the military and arrested Malcolm...

    AUSTRALIA DAY, Why we celebrate. The Truth

    The Anglo-Saxon settlement in the Netherlands was a movement of continental Angles, Saxons, Franks and possibly English Anglo-Saxons into the lands formerly inhabited by the ancient Frisii, Cananefates and Batavians.[1][2][3] These migrations occurred after the population drop of the Frisii...

    AUSTRALIA DAY, Why we celebrate. The Truth

    The Capitalist Economic System is very elitist and doesn't give people a 'fair go'. The Capitalist Economic System gives privilege to a very small % of the population. We don't live in an egalitarian society as John Howard and the Liberal Party say we do. There are a lot of hurdles and obstacles...
