    Should we get Hasler back?

    I may not be a lifelong Manly fan like a lot of you guys, but I bloody care about this club and what it stands for... In my opinion, you know what definitely isn't Manly... begging someone to return who shafted the club, stabbed it in the back, abandoned his mates and chuckled on his way out the...

    Kapow at prop

    I'm not sure I buy this long term. I think this is more of a 'we need a spark in the middle, let's put our most explosive forward there and see what happens' kind of move... BUT tbh I would do the same. If we're getting pummeled in the middle or we are looking flat, which we have done a lot...

    Is this team SOFT?

    Definitely. Couple of our signings - Myles and Lussick - were meant to be enforcers, but have looked slow and weak for me. Brown - maybe I hadn't watched enough of him but I thought he was far more stocky and aggressive than what he has shown so far, looks like a kid out there. Lack some...

    Do you support Trent Barrett? (Part 2)

    I voted yes. He's still the coach, I do not want him to fail, I want him to be a success, and sacking him now and hiring a midseason replacement will do absolutely nothing for the team - therefore I still support him. Is Baz a bit of an easy target for all this? Baz's appointment was conceived...

    Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 9, 2016]

    Referee has been an absolute disgrace, game was gonna be hard enough as it is without him gifting back to back sets on our line for non-penalties. Boys stuck in there well, although our tryline D needs work. I know we have injuries, and a poor ref, but we are still miles off this level. Fair...

    Killer announces his retirement

    I feel so lucky to have had this guy play for both St.Helens and Manly. The sheer thought of having a player of his caliber at Saints is beyond a dream today. I was probably too young to understand how much of a coup he was for the club, but I was not too young to understand just how awesome a...

    Jeez you're right just checked his profile. Troll - should've known.

    Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 6, 2016]

    With all due respect mate, you know absolutely nothing about my knowledge of the game, and just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I'm deluded, so please don't tell me what I am or am not. I didn't even comment on the quality of the performance as a whole, I just said it was a good...

    Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 6, 2016]

    Agreed, good point! We don't seem to look to threaten anybody in offence from tackles 1-3. It's like we take 3 simple plays and then shoot on the 4th. Need to challenge D earlier in sets and drain their energy more!

    Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 6, 2016]

    I'm with you mate. When we click, there is serious points in this side! I also noticed the raking of Darcys eyes in the tussle!!! Sh*thouses! An action disguised as pulling him back, but he kept going for his eyes!! It's a good dilemma! But you're right... walker is making good progress, he...

    Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 6, 2016]

    T-Red... boy has he upped his intensity in his last 2 games. Running hard and tackling harder! Special mention to Api's D. The big forwards think they're gonna trample him and he levels them everytime @:D I just chuckle everytime someone tries it

    Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 6, 2016]

    Couple of thoughts on tonights game: - Vave and Lawrence. They bring a noticeable difference off the bench. Our go forward gets a real boost. - Lussick. Without being outstanding, he is contributing positively to the team. - Halves were good again. Api has a great short kicking game...

    [Resurrected] Dylan Walker determined to be Manly's long-term No.6

    Still raw, but getting better each week. 4 tries in 5 shows he's becoming quite a weapon on that left edge. Link up play has been better as well whilst far from polished, shame DCE's injury will slow that progress.

    Fire Dan Ferris Immediately

    I've wiped rounds 1 and 2 from my mind completely haha so they don't count! In all seriousness we were absolutely garbage for the full 160 minutes over round 1 and 2. That was just lack of quality + structure, not fitness. Sharks effort in first 20 I'm putting down to lack of confidence v a...

    Fire Dan Ferris Immediately

    We were poor for the first 20, but 3 games in 10 days is mentally tough never mind, physically. It's like a constant sprint that you can't have a rest with. The build up to a game is intense, then when you play it's like a release, and you recover for the next 3 days or so, before the intensity...

    Manly hold talks with Coote

    Not sold on this. I can kind of see the thinking, he is far too slow to play fullback as good as he is, and with Morgan at 6 Cows won't be desperate to keep him. I feel his form is more of a right time right place kind of thing. Always been a talent but was out for 3 years basically, and was...

    Think of it like this - We are in the 21st Century. It's 2016. 2000-2099 is the 21st Century.

    Nateosaurus Myles

    Myles is known as a tough defender. Was it 2013 the Titans beat us at their place early in the year and a couple of our players tweeted Myles was tough chopping away at the knees all game? He always attacks the legs and uses his weapon-head - really makes the ball carrier uncomfortable. His...

    MVP: Most valuable player for [round 3: sea eagles v sharks 2016]

    Roasted em pretty hard last week, and rightfully so. This week was a different story. I'm not getting carried away by any stretch, but the main thing was the D. The effort from everybody (Myles + Vave much much better) was visible, we were smart, aggressive and energetic. Pretty good Sharks...

    Time To Call Out Barrett And Certain Players

    I honestly don't care if we had a team of prop forwards or a bunch of kids. There are some things that you just expect from anyone playing for Manly or any team aspiring to be successful, and there is no excuse even if you're playing with a bunch of strangers - - linespeed. Absolutely...
