    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Great memories Darren! I went with my dad and grandma to the record game, and it was impossible. Grandma was elderly but loved manly, a kind person gave her a seat on a bleacher but then she couldn’t see. And we lost! The previous parra game on that list in 82 was awesome, I got in because a...

    Cooper Johns

    I agree Ryan, I found it a bit cringeworthy, belittling himself so much for a laugh. Also a bit ****ty that his Dad introduced him as Manly's worst 5/8. If I were him I'd be proud. It is extremely difficult to make it in first grade. Cooper was a great junior player, and made it into NRL squads...

    Zac Fulton off to Bradford Bulls

    There are still a couple of Fultons in the juniors right? Kobe for one seemed a creative livewire type of player.

    UFC’s plans to put roof over 4 Pines Park

    Imagine the scenes when there are nurses’ quarters at brookie oval? It’ll be like a carry on movie! Players will stay back after training for extras. Night shift nurses will be suntanning on the hill during training etc

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Both teams will struggle readjusting to a regulation sized field. Burbo’s try from last week, for example, would have been a foot short of the line if the field was normal.

    UFC’s plans to put roof over 4 Pines Park

    It makes no sense. With or without a roof, why would ufc train in the middle of a vast grass field? Even with a boxing ring in the middle it would still be stupid. Why wouldn’t they just train in the existing centre of excellence? If it is about fights, the venue is way too big in surface...

    What about playing in the wet? I love it in the rain.

    Remember when silvertails were calling out for manly to sign that chump hetherington? :0)

    Garricks performance at centre

    I think Garrick goes great at centre. He is elusive and fast, and souths were back pedalling a few times when he took them on. Decent line break too. Last year in the game where he played centre (before getting injured) he scored a couple of tries from memory, one he stood up his opposition. I...

    Is Jaxson Paulo a starter

    I was underwhelmed, he was a bit passive. He should have been anticipating that brooks cut out pass, but he was back on his heels. I guess another chance is a good thing, but fualalo looks a goer, or Talau at least has height.

    Manly v Rabbits Vegas

    I have a huge problem with the name “allegiant”. It is not a word. It sounds so dumb. The word is “allied”. I don’t even know where to start, did trump coin this term?

    Pre-Game Manly v Rabbitohs [Round 1, 2024]

    Would love to see turbo skating through a gap, and Saab. League on ice would be amazing.

    Matthew Ridge Doco - brings back the memories

    In my view we shoulda let ridge walk. Cleary would have strengthened manly through the late 90s and early 2000s, and we might still have him and Nathan.

    [Resurrected] Manly & the media (and the "media" in general)

    This week there have been 2 notable SMH articles with "Manly blindness". Both by Christian Nicolussi: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/in-rare-air-is-this-penrith-team-the-greatest-the-game-has-seen-20240213-p5f4gg.html This article attempts to compare great teams from different eras.

    Manly v Rabbits Vegas

    With the small field, I think the coaches have erred with their team selections. It would be the perfect opportunity to select only smaller players such as Gordon CKT, maybe even bring back Tooves. Little blokes would make the field look bigger and they would easily scoot by the bigger...

    Manly v Rabbits Vegas

    Completely agree. I think this will be a big factor in the game. Look for more switches 1 or 2 off the ruck because they will run out of room wide. It is a bit of a dud having the small field. Defence will dominate.

    Trial V Roosters

    Roosters will be concerned that the manly reserves and flegg team members were still in the hunt after 75 minutes. Easts realistically should have been 30 ahead by then, on paper. If the manly backs could catch bombs there would have been an upset. Only beaten by errors.

    Zac Fulton

    Zac is from Moree, his dad lived there for quite a while, so it is quite plausible Zac has indigenous heritage.

    Trial V Roosters

    That is the Blacktown backline for manly, some decent forwards picked, but it is mostly the depth 14 out of our top 30. Hodgson would be our #4 fullback after turbo, Garrick and koula. I will be surprised if the roosters put that full strength team out there for more than 1 quarter, so it...
