    How long will it take Des to win a comp

    What made 2008 so special was the utterly hopeless position we came from cerca 2003 - but its fun being arrogant after the 2018 we had. By my calculations we have until 2029 to get there and IF it can be done even by then that would be pretty amazing given the current outlook - Des or no Des.

    Membership - now is the time

    Thanks mate. Good to see things look like they are going in the right direction - especially the relationship with the FC. If that is actually the case this will become more obvious to us outsiders in time. You are right there are still some questions without any answers. What will Peters'...

    Membership - now is the time

    I wonder (a) did they cotton on to that before or after being rejected by McGuire (and Taylor(?) or does a season with Northern Eagles count?)? and (b) will they stick with this "Manly bred" rule for the next coach too or is that just for when we are at rock bottom? Its nice to see some...

    Biggest Regret

    Gutho - but regret isn't really the right word (skeaking for myself anyway - as I certainly had no say in it). Regret can be reserved for whoever it was who made the decision to push him out. He wasn't even off contract at the time! If we were cheating the cap we really were doing it wrong...

    Stadium flip back

    No idea how they can justify the Allianz rebuild. It needs some work but with a capacity around 45,000 it will still just be a shiny home ground hosting 15,000 for roosters or waratahs games. I'm not sure how any "refurbishment" of ANZ can fix its problems much more than sliding the lower tier...

    Help needed. Home Vs Away penalties

    I really want to see a breakdown of penalties awarded in the second half to team in front compared to the team trailing. It would make sense for the team behind to push the envelope more and if the refs are doing their jobs then more risks would lead to more oenalties against the team trying...

    2018 - Full draw ?

    Nobody of course! I would never try to argue that everything is fair. Realistically it is impossible to have 16 teams play 24 rounds and even pretend it's going to be fair for everyone. If you are borderline top 8 or top 4 it might make the difference when you look back and see how many top...

    2018 - Full draw ?

    If we can't beat the teams from last year's top 4 we won't be premiers and won't deserve to be. The dogs, bunnies, tigers and dragons were bottom 8 teams that put us away this season, effectively knocking us out of the top 4. Maybe we are better off with less games against opponents we will...

    2008 grandfinal

    32,095 there that glorious night. 28,908 there last night at the same stadium for a sydney team v an out of NSW team (at their regular home ground). But Manly constantly cops it about poor crowds!

    The channel 10 deal With cbs

    I think 7 has the world cup with commentators including Dan Ginane from MMM and Andrew Moore from ABC. It will be interesting to see how they handle the transition from radio to tv (in light of Hadley's issues) but it will be good if there are a few viable options around for other networks to...

    Dan Ginane the next ray hadley.

    No comparison. The 2 are completely different for mine. Agree with Ginane or not he is not afraid to express HIS opinion and argue it out with actual reasoning. He may be passionate but at least he is honest - not like some of the other toe-the-party-line-sicofants on 9 and Fox and he's not...

    Rumours

    Home? Was that when he played a couple of games for Melbourne's feeder team up there? Or is it more like "home" in the sense of "Suncorp is the Maroons' "home" ground"?

    Walker was not offside

    So sick of hearing about the hand of Foz! The footage used to prosecute that "theory" has Foran's hand visible with the ball behind it and Thurston's hand behind Foran's and LITERALLY somewhere between Foran's hand and the ball. None of which is 100% conclusive but I'm not even sure its possible...

    Bill Harringan and Sean Hamstead on Matty Johns

    Agree with everything Harrigan has said BUT... was he not the referees boss who implemented dominant and surrender tackles? Ever since that nonsensical attempt to control the game was brought in the referees have been too busy trying to manage the game and coach the players to worry about...

    Farewell for Brett & Steve

    Definitely something fishy going on. Fact: Matai and Stewart have retired. Fact: Both cited medical reasons. Fact: Both have pre-existing injuries. Option 1: New Injury. - Insurance pays - Cap exemption - Nothing stopping farewell Round 1 Option 2: NRL scam (see Choc) - Insurance doesn't...

    Smith and Slater

    I resisted picking Captain Scum in my team all year and lost most weeks to teams with him because I wanted to have players in there that I enjoy watching and cheering for. Not the best strategy I know but it's supposed to be fun. This week I just said "ah fkit if I pick him it will just...
