    Tom and Jake

    These two idolise the club and have since they were kids. Loyal to a fault and have given their all. We win more with both of them than we lose. They are not responsible for the idiot roster and coaching decisions. I cannot believe the mounting attacks from you drunken, lazy sausage roll...

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    Do we believe it’s true? I must admit I’ve always given it credence.

    Dessie by Roy Masters

    Brilliant article. I'm sure a savvy techie type can get behind the paywall. Also, sorry for new thread. Had no idea where to put it. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/a-teacher-schemer-dreamer-but-des-hasler-definitely-isn-t-paranoid-20250811-p5mm0o.html

    The Cleary Ciraldo Style

    It seems we've hit a bit of a necessary evil in the evolution of coaching but gosh I hope it doesn't last and we evolve into something entertaining again. Whether it was Ciraldo inspiring Cleary of just Cleary himself, this method of building automatons who just run and run and tackle and...

    The Manly DNA

    So many talk about how we need a Manly man (teehee) as coach. Currently, there is no chance. Probably the closest would be Chad Randall who seems to be making his way through, what should always be, a very long apprenticeship. Not possible then BUT we do have plenty of Manly DNA that is not...

    Strategy

    One for the footy heads. Regardless of the DCE non performance in the Knights game last night, and given the available personnel, what would you lot have done when Lehi went down? I understood the movement of Ben T to centre but when it was clear he was being monstered out there, what changes...

    Burbo

    Anyone know what was wrong with him? Club just said 'sick'. Typical great communications from the club. Sure missed him. He's been one of our best lately and would have plugged the defnce massively as well as made actual breaks. I actually think if he'd played, and Seibold had a clue about...

    Bit of fun to pass the time

    I've discovered this 'guess the player name' game. It refreshes every day. Sometimes really difficult due to the international nature of our competition, as in not everyone is called Tom, Dick, or Harry. https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl-footy-names

    Who decides stuff at the club?

    Given some of the ridiculous decisions at the club over the life of any child turning 10 this year, I wonder if anyone actually knows who makes all the decisions? Penn seems (literally) a world away. Various CEOs seem to struggle to make their mark. Coaches always seem hamstrung. Who is the...

    Our Biggest Point of PRIDE* under threat

    I was lucky enough that my first game of Rugby League was going to the 1972 Grand Final. Been supporting winners ever since that day. And what a wonderful ride it has been with a Premiership every decade ever since that beautiful day when I fell in love with the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles. A...

    Tommy on the fifth

    Can someone please explain to me the logic of Tommy getting the ball for pretty much every fifth tackle. It happens so often it's become much the default option. And nothing ever comes of it. Even my football luke warm partner now preempts it with, 'oh look, it'd the fifth' they'll give it to...

    Politics and Sport

    The other thread was closed so I started a new one because I have an observation. Yay for me! There's quite the controversy over in The Old Dart at the moment where Gary Linekar has been suspended by the BBC from hosting Match of the Day because he described his Government's proposed asylum...

    Alfred Naupoto

    We have a brilliant young man doing all our visual media stuff by the name of Alfred Naupoto and we are so lucky to have him. He does everything from this fun little T Sips bit to the Tommy doco to every other great little offering we get. He's too talented to stay around for long so we should...

    Shave For Bear Cottage

    I know this is mentioned in Club News but I think it needs it's own thread. It's only up to $1400, as of posting ($100 of which is mine). C'mon Silvertails. Put your money where your big fat mouths 😉🤷‍♀️ are...
