    Lack of patience

    Stoked we are in the top 4. And hope we can stay in the top 4. But for mine what is holding us back is the lack of patience especially from DCE and co. Pushing passes and kicking early is doing my head in. Repeat sets, completed sets and pressure win games. Not miracle balls. PS how good is...

    Impact off the bench

    Having the best starting front row in the nrl I reckon it’s going to be hard to have equal impact off the bench. Gowski is a solid toiler and Waddell would make a great 80 min back rower. But opposition teams and most importantly coaches must be licking their lips for when Taupau and AFB come...

    Curtis Scott

    Who would want Curtis Scott for next year? If Walker goes and we don't get Ramien, Gutho etc we could do worse. Worth the risk for a two year contact especially if we are paying him less than half of what we would be paying Gutho per year i reckon. Doesn't look like the the type of player...

    Trent Merrin

    Trent is looking for a new home back in the NRL. I reckon he would be a good fit at Manly. Would bring a load of experience and is a hard worker. Plus not injury prone. Could slot in the back row alongside Jake and Siro. What an awesome back row that would be. Get him for 3 years starting 2020!

    Team for next week

    OK so lets assume Tom is out next week. Who is in your 17 v Knights? Elliott (deserves the spot after todays performance) Taufua (on fire last two weeks) Suli (get him back) Jack G (for mine quick enough for the centres. Doesn't miss tackles. Gun tackler) Garrick (keeps getting better) Elgey...

    Danny Buderus and Matt Nable

    The former is the worst commentator to ever grace an NRL game. Anxious and can barely sting a sentence together. The latter is going great guns. Huge fan of Nable. Going great guns. Thoughts?

    Dale Copley

    Dale isn't starting for the Titans. If Titans were willing to release him would you sign him up? Better cover than Elliott in my opinion and I'd start him in the centres over Parker any day of the week.

    Jack Gosiewski

    This guy has been impressive in the trials. Reminds me of a young Watmough the way he hits hard and tries to run angles. If he stays fit he is a genuine first grade back rower. I also like his utility value. Could cover centre, maybe hooker. I doubt he will get the nod over Sironen or Thompson...

    [Resurrected] Karmichael Hunt

    Looks like Hunt is leaving the reds. Would be a very handy pick up. Solid defender with loads of experience. He is 32 but has had a pretty easy last 6 or so years. So really probably the body of a 29 year old. Would be a solid center/wing/fullback! He has had his troubles but by all accounts is...

    Ken Sio

    Looks like Ken might be leaving the Knights. Would be a handy pick up. Solid player and a good finisher. Would pick him over Wright and Parker any day.

    Settled Manly Line Up

    After Sundays big win the most pleasing thing for me is surely we now have a settled team and Barrett has picked the players who should be playing first grade. Tanginoa, Lane and Perrett off the bench were huge, and a motivated Hastings had great impact. I think Lussick should have a few games...

    Lussick to start next week

    Lussick and Perrett really made a difference coming on yesterday. I think starting Lawrence against Napa and JWH was a mistake. Lawrence biggest asset is his speed and would be best off the bench to expose tiring forwards especially before the break. Lussick and Perrett owned it yesterday. Was...

    Fonua Blake appreciation thread

    How good is this guy going. Major impact off the bench. We don't loose much when he comes on for Taupau. Ran for 290m in the last two games. Won't get picked for origin but i'd consider him if i was picking the team. Makes Merrin look like fairy. Please sign him up long term!

    Best team if all fit and available for round 4

    Manly Sea Eagles are back and the culture has been restored. Bring on round 4. Turbo (Turbo time everytime. Culture leader) Taufua (Solid as a rock. Manly in his blood) Walker (Back to his best. Please stay and embrace the new culture. We need you) Kelly (Keeps surprising. Kid just keeps on...

    My take on the game and player rankings

    I thought Manly were just unlucky and Parra were just too good. I honestly think we can make the 8. Will get it right next week against the Bunnies. But overall i'm not that unhappy with the way we played. Uate was dangerous, Taufua's effort and speed were awesome, Sironen is solid with a good...

    Could we see Hastings in the centres this year?

    Am i crazy for thinking that Hastings could be a decent center in 2017? Very similar to Jack Bird in size and speed etc. 6ft 1 and 95kgs. Doubt it will happen and not sure it could work but surely has to be considered. I think if we are going to make the 8 we will need to take a few risks...

    2017 Captain

    So who should captain Manly in 2017? I know we will all have our different ideas and opinions but keen to get everyone's thoughts. Jake is the obvious first choice but i also think Lussick could be a great leader. He does the push the boundary with his aggression but i think 2017 he will play...

    Joey Lussick

    Just wondering what everything thinks of Joey Lussick. I've never seen him play in any grades and am unsure if he is the real deal. Will be play first grade in 2017? How good can he be?

    2017 Starting Line Up

    Ok now that the dust has settled and we assume no more players are coming to Manly i would be interested to know what your starting line up looks like. I'm naming my team on the assumption that everyone is fit AND Locke has a successful return in the trials. And on the assumption that Stewart...

    Waqa Blake Ripple Effect

    With Waqa Blake signing a 2 year contract extension with the Panthers i find it hard to believe they can afford Hiku, Whare and DWZ on their roster for 2017. I really hope they release DWZ and he signs with us. He is very solid and gives us some extra X factor. Turbo Taufua Walker DWZ Uate DCE...
