    [Resurrected] Keppie re-signs 2026 ... Unleash Keppie NOW!

    Sean Keppie getting extended twice in as many years when he has never been off contract is strange indeed. He averages 60m a game, has no upper body strength and gets dominated In most tackles. His fitness is miles off the pace and once he ‘knocks up’ after 10-15 mins, he makes consistent...

    Line Speed is 60% of the game

    Burbo had a great combo with Schu in the juniors. Would love to see Burbo put his head down and add some size to his frame. He’s not gonna make it with his current shape. Tuilagi & Guac will start. Guac needs to get deeper and run onto the ball. He needs to do this consistently and also show...

    Line Speed is 60% of the game

    That’s a great point. We have to work out who we are playing for. What we stand for. We are carrying too many blokes that are happy that they’ve made first grade. There’s a difference between making it and wanting to win once you’re there. Schuster for mine is the absolute key moving...

    Line Speed is 60% of the game

    We have to give Fainu, Fifita, Tuitavake & Fulton plenty of football next season. They will all be in the top 30. If they don’t make the 17, they must be playing regular NSW Cup with a view of getting them in as soon as they are ready. Paseka, Sipley & Keppie need to be challenged. How Paseka...

    Line Speed is 60% of the game

    I think for Des to get back in favour with the powers that be, he needs to acknowledge that the style we are playing is not working. If he shows he can adapt and get us playing a more uptempo / less cumbersome style, that will get him resigned. I think he sort of gets it, with plenty of ball...

    Line Speed is 60% of the game

    You need line speed. Penrith sprint off their line for 80 mins. I went to Penrith Park in rd1 and expected us to win. No Cleary. Turbo fit and us coming off a top 4 finish. I walked away knowing that we were miles off the pace. They kicked to Saab in the corner and dominated him. Turbo second...

    Club Structure / no NSW Cup is the issue

    We have had some great results in the juniors since 2015 you’re right. But the lack of focus on reserve grade has let some players slip through the cracks at the development stage and others have been let go through poor roster management. If you’re gonna run a skinny operation, you can’t make...

    Club Structure / no NSW Cup is the issue

    Melbourne have been blessed by uncovering a succession of absolutely once in a generation players. True modern greats. When Munster jumps ship and Bellamy retires, they will find themselves in a position of vulnerability. They are already on the way there in my opinion. They have had the pick of...

    Club Structure / no NSW Cup is the issue

    I think the root cause is underfunding by the ownership group. I believe that the Penn’s see Manly-Warringah as a first grade operation only. Which worked great when we had a team full of stars and made 4 GF’s and won 2 comps. But that was 10 years ago. 1) The NRL grant covers the salary cap...

    Club Structure / no NSW Cup is the issue

    I’m saying continue to scout from Western Sydney, it’s clearly an area that is working. And yes our junior pool is small. The challenge we have moving forward is that all the good kids that are aligned to the Penrith junior league are desperate to play for the Panthers. It’s seen as the...

    Club Structure / no NSW Cup is the issue

    You’re always gonna have politics in footy clubs. People outside the club, that would like to work in the club, are always gonna think that they can do better. And once employed by the club, those people think things should only be done their way. Which leads to inevitable conflict. The reality...

    New Winger - Christian Tuipulotu

    He is Jorge Taufua. And not the 2013 version.

    Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)

    Extend Des until 2024 & announce we are wearing our pride jersey in round 1. Then we’ll see who’s really in or out.

    Eagles Query

    The joint venture ceased at the end of the 2001 season. License reverted back to Manly for the 2002 season but due to licensing requirements had to play as the Northern Eagles in 2002 with the same name & logo as 2000 & 2001. The club used the Eagles logo on that ball for all supporter...

    2022 Jersey/s

    Most teams are running three kits now, plus a few one off jumpers such as indigenous round etc. No reason why we can’t have maroon with white hoops for home, white shorts and maroon socks. White with maroon hoops for away, with maroon shorts and white socks. And something funky for our third...

    2022 Jersey/s

    White shorts brought instant improvement. Bringing the hoops back will = a premership!

    Top 4

    The thing with coming from 5th or 6th is you have to beat three of the top four teams with weeks 2 & 3 away from home to win it. Makes it extremely tough, particularly if you have to travel to Melbourne. Would be 1978 stuff. The premiers always make the 4 and win week 1.

    Suli has to go!

    I’ve got Walker as our back sub on the bench. Can cover the entire back line. Need a back on the pine for HIA, etc. In saying that, didn’t realise how solid Lawton is. Can play 9, backrow and centre at a pinch.

    Earned himself a full game for Blacktown next week.

    The Manly CENTRE dilemma is coming...

    Cust is the right call at 6 with Foz out. Clearly Manly are playing two ball players either side of the ruck with Tommy sweeping both sides. If Schuester moved to six we’d lose our shape.
