    New rule? Leaping for bomb

    There was a penalty the other day for a player jumping in the air for a bomb, not contesting or having eyes for the ball and not touching the opposing player who was leaping for the ball. Was I imaging things? I’m sure he didn’t touch him. So penalties are give these days for scaring players...

    Line speed

    Every knows Penrith have been the benchmark team who are fit and determined enough to press forward with fast defensive line speed. They sprint forward in defence as a unit, get three in the tackle and roll or twist the player to slow the play. This has been the trademark style of play for all...

    Shafted in 2019 Semi vs Souths

    Hard to forget that match where Jake was our second sin bin. We went from having a 6 point lead with 13 to go to losing the match. Jake‘s absence n the middle was telling. DCE blew up deluxe. Harsh decision to say Jake held back Gagai to warrant the sin bin. I just want a fair go from the...

    Shafted with short turnaround

    Why wasn't Melbourne‘s postponed game moved to Monday? Why weren’t we allowed to have kept our scheduled game time, given matches resumed today? Is it fair that Melbourne will be a day fresher when we play them? Under the circumstances, a 5 day turnaround for the Melbourne game is rough. We got...

    Soft

    Soft ... is what we dished out in round 1 and the trial. Wooden spoon contenders. Pretenders. Worst start I can recall since following Mamly early in 1972. Contrary to reports today that Hasler is under pressure, he is the one person that can steer the ship towards our next premiership...

    6 again stats

    I only watch Manly games these days and get the feeling we always lose the “6 again” count and most often in the first half when early dominance is measured and rewarded. Am I right? It‘s such an advantage to get 6 again and I’m often left wondering why we are penalised. Am I one-eyed?

    Bozo, declare war, please

    Love him or hate him, good to see Fulton come out with a statement on the salary cap investigation. I'd like to hear a lot more from him once this matter is resolved. He is such a powerful figure in the game and it would be awesome if he publicly tears strips off Greenburg for how inept he has...

    Best draw this year?

    Who had the best draw this year, in terms of most 6+ day turnarounds? Wouldn't happen to be Cronulla followed by the Storm. Just had a quick, curious look back at this years draw, given they meet in the GF, and it certainly looks like they were both given a huge leg up. The favoured ones?

    Kicking responsibility

    Against the Warriors, I am confident that we will address the incredibly soft defence we all witnessed in the opening exchanges against the Vermin. Jake will be back and Starling should start. Lawrence had a shocker last outing, so hoping he is relegated to bench at best. I pray that we don't...

    Salary cap question

    Not sure how the salary cap works, so this is a genuine question. If we don't play Symonds, Mateo and Burgess in first grade this year, do their salaries count towards the salary cap? Is their treatment just a ploy by our management team to offload one or all of them to secure a big name second...

    4 GF rip offs in a row

    Reckon we lost fair and square in 82 & 83; as much as it still hurts to admit. 95 was the first of the rorts; skinniest 5m defensive line seen all year in that game, 3 tries from forward passes and a 7th tackle try that the league world seems to forget. 97 was arguably worse; the Knights were...

    CEO BOZO

    Why not? He is pulling all the strings and spending Penn's money. Let's face reality, a clean out and accelerated rebuild was necessary. Next year is a rebuild and climb up the ladder year. The year after, we should be targeting grand final day. Our greatest victory this year was retaining...

    Grand final appearances

    I became a Manly fanatic as a 7 year old in 1972. For 50 year olds like me, we can still claim that our team is more successful than any other, based on our grand final appearances over my lifetime of support. Manly have made 14 grand final appearances over that period. I would encourage each...

    Stand and applaud Toovey

    Wouldn't it be great if we all stood as one, and applauded, facing Toovey, just before kick off at his last home game as coach?

    Was that a dog shot doctor?

    Player safety management. What a joke. Jake was deliberately taken out in the Raiders game and suffered concussion. Mitchell Barnett lined him up and smacked him in the head when he wasn't expecting a third man to join the tackle from his blind side. A deliberate dog act ... A Grub of an act...

    Mid season player trade?

    What is the deadline for Manly to do a mid-season trade with another club? Is it 30 June? Hasler turned his season around a few years back when he signed Inu and Perrett before 30 June. Maybe there is time yet for us to bolster our weaker positions at the expense of where we have surplus...

    Bozo

    I've been in PNG for the week, so still in catch up mode over all things DCE and Bozo's new role. I am sure many of you are like me; the return of Bozo warms my heart. Geez, the guy reeks of success with everything he does. A respected immortal. I have been deluding myself ltoday since Bozo's...

    Limit penalty kicks

    yeah, just trying to get my mind off our continued losses. As we all know, penalty kicks are such a huge advantage for any team; a kick to get a team further down field and a full set of 6. Rule should change so that after a penalty is given, teams are only able to kick for touch if there is...

    just dumb

    Dumb play tonight and cranky that we are 1 from 6 and stone motherless last; I haven't had a shot at anyone at Manly since the T-Rex and Wolfman days and I have a need to vent tonight. Good move from Tooves with the co-captains tonight. Also good move to start with Turbo Snr. But for the life...

    Who is our captain

    Haven't heard anything but suspect it's Lyon. For mine, I would have DCE and Foran as co-captains in 2015. Reasons: Lyon would be a leader on and off the field anyway and doesn't need the (c) against his name. Snake needs to start letting DCE call all the big shots on the field and of course...
