    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Did note that Shu was listed as making 27 tackles in his Blacktown appearance and presume that he played the full 80 [ well maybe not but just presumed ] So not too bad an outcome taking into account his i st proper hit out for this season , some suggestions that he seemed a bit sluggish at...

    Koula or Koula "s top shelf ability would be wasted on the wing and just no way to get the best value from him Same really with Garrick , maybe not to the same extent but going well in the centres since his switch Don 't think that Faulalo is available until May or so , most likely Ray and...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Fair point but guess that it is or should be largely irrelevant whether it was on an edge or centre . Actually was not aware of the missed tackle stat until i read it on here as he still had a reasonably good game . Has certainly improved his overall defense in recent times but still probably...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Shu was apparently tracking all right in his pre season preparation [ well according to some reports ] until his bout of sickness and injury . Really pleased that Burbo is establishing himself as a capable edge player but still missed 8 tackles yesterday and would not say the full package yet...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Maybe could have made better use of a few sets during the game but certainly a good brand of attack in general and just like the up tempo defence , really had the Rooster's measure and really pressured them for a good part of the game . Almost seemed a bit surreal when , was it May or Whyte...

    Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Looks like only one N S W cup game and on a Saturday early Arvo being televised at the present time

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Tuilagi seems a good individual type player but with Manly anyway just could not seem to eliminate those usually costly lapses at certain times . Probably was on some pretty fair money at Manly as well , not sure how his contract [ or remaining] Manly contract arrangements were settled but...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Especially at 500 k each and with Brooksy virtually ready to go from the get go literally . Sam has ability but no more then the likes of Bully and Burbo for contemporary comparisons Latu [ who has been a bit injury prone in recent seasons ] certainly has the ability to get to a good level...

    Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    Big test for the Manly wingers but fairly hopeful that they will be up for the occasion . Might be a bit of an arm wrestle for a good part of the game but signs were good from Vagas when the Manly endurance level was quite impressive . Heaps of quality players on both sides and if Manly can...

    Could be interesting where Parker may play in the Blacktown line up . Obviously did not play in Vagas so probably best for him to have a run again even if he is on the extended bench for i st grade Shu to be in the back row so most likely Parker centre even if he is being looked at more as a...

    Strong lineup but maybe still the requirement to give Froggy a break . Lawton , Humphries types also maybe still needed in the mix on the bench

    Two wins against quality sides for the opening 2 games would sure be a great start to the season

    Woodsie's Team List Tuesdays

    Interesting one with Talau on the wing , may not have the general impact that Ray Ray can sometimes provide but the slightly safer option consideration coming into play no doubt and looks like rates O K on the individual ability scale as well . Maybe would have liked a Sipley impact type forward...

    Just seems to be a bit of a pattern sometimes and unfortunately when regular and good contributors just stop posting for whatever reason and unexpectedly Even before you finally joined , can recall dedicated posters like Batty , the Better Robo ,Kevin Ward , Snake no doubt a couple of others...

    Understand this perspective too but also think to give credit where credit is due and he has done everything expected of him to fit into the Manly way so to speak and reestablishing himself as a good level i st grader again . And the added benefit at this early stage at least performing quite...

    UFC’s plans to put roof over 4 Pines Park

    This looks like a much better or feasible type of planning or proposal options . Considering also that Manly only play , what is it , 10 or 11 home games , in a normal season [ plus also hopefully regular finals home games in future times ] . Certainly has a lot more going for it then that...

    Your views on 2024 after Round 1

    Storm looked impressive [ well certainly defence wise ] but they always seem to start well . Panthers and Roosters have the roster to be up there again , Broncs maybe not as formidable but of course a gun full back in Walsh . Looks like the Cows could be quite competitive though Manly should...

    AI article:It may be the end of Josh Aloiai’s season.

    Looks like above post is in the wrong thread . So just on Alioai , hardly in Manly 's best interests to move him on if his form in the Vagas game can be a norm for him this season

    AI article:It may be the end of Josh Aloiai’s season.

    Titans must have been a bit ordinary last night , Dragons have had not that bad a lineup in recent seasons but can not see to many changes to their main squad and Titans again probably should have played better Titans did have Dave Fifita and Foz missing but seem to play their best footy with a...
