    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    Manly's only real defence option in 2025 is to be in possession of the ball as much as possible. Having to actually tackle and hold the opposition out, that's too much to expect.

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Look how long that list of names is! Every NRL club has that. That's why the argument that the salary cap is to stop clubs spending too much & going broke is nonsense. They can spend like a wild sailor on whatever they want, so long as it isn't on players. Bring back the 1970s. No cap. Manly...

    New coach Poll

    Manly has never won a premiership without a coach who was a former Manly player. Not going back to Hasler. Cleary is only option from the current NRL coaches. Ballin is not experienced enough. Vote 1 GEOFF TOOVEY

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    If DCE can't steer tonight's Manly team home to a comfortable victory, you'd have to have doubts he would be of any value to the Roosters for 2026. Their squad isn't exactly the 1993 Broncos either.

    Trys or tries ?

    i'm more troubled by the plural of the play-the-ball.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    The NRL has been deliberately made into a snakes and ladders competition. Being a conventional rugby league team means nothing, even dominating for 70 mins and leading by 20 points. A junk team will every now and then win when the snakes combine to neuter the better side.

    Lehi needs a nickname

    I think 'Lehi' is pretty unique on its own.

    1994 at 20:56 looks to me that it is gone.

    A bunker. It was still there in 1986. Visible in the opening crowd shot here.

    More of a mystery is what happened to the concrete walkway tunnel that once cut through the Brookie hill, why was it filled in and what is now inside it? Can see the tunnel at 20 seconds here in this 1978 game.

    We wear the Maroon & White

    Broncos have a 2025 alternate they could have worn last night. Instead it looked like Manly v Manly. Other than vs Manly at Brookvale, I doubt the NRL will give Manly much of a listen if they complain though. Look at how many NRL games are blue vs blue.

    Run Koula Run

    He's not showing any frustration. I just worry in time it will come. And the ARU have tried before. Especially if Suaalii gets a lot of time during the upcoming British Lions tour.

    Run Koula Run

    I worry Koula is not getting enough ball and may soon get frustrated. The guy is a superstar.

    What a relief. Brookie oval is not the grassy knoll.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    First and last time time i've been happy to see a maroon and white dressed team lose on Brookie oval. What, you couldn't find your 2025 white alternate Brisbane?
