    I'm selfish. I want them both. Both have upsides that will benefit the club in future, if they don't drop their bundle.

    Agreed. Its the unexpected and the seeming play from nothing that makes him such an asset when he's fit. You're right. It happens too often to be a fluke.

    Does Burbo cement a Top 17 spot in 2023 ?

    Again I say PATIENCE. He's 22 just starting his career. Every game is a learning experience. So he made a few mistakes. Surprise. They all do it when they're young. He'll learn from that.

    RIP PHIL LOWE

    Loved watching the rangy Phil Lowe. Glad Manly had him for a few years. He and Reilly certainly added class to Manly's early premiership wins. Sad to see his passing.

    That's conjectural Leonard. That is not how I saw it in 2021. I've said it before, stats are much more reliable than personal perspectives. Not perfect, just far better. Otherwise why do most major sports rely on them. I'm not saying he's perfect and his efforts in 2022-23 were hardly...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Schuster's defense seems to be criticized continuously. The figures don't seem support that. He's certainly not Jake or Croker, but in 2021 his tackle rate was just under 30 a game, he was one of the few 80 minute forwards, his tackle percentage was in the high 80%s which was better than several...

    Parker to centre on Sun.

    If there was a necessity for Garrick to go back to the wing, Burbo is a far better option at centre, not that I would want to move him from the back row.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    I can see why you would perceive Schuster's manner in the way you have, and maybe there is a problem in that regard. Its however difficult to interpret motivation in other people because we tend to see things through our eyes and not theirs. Some points though. Its most unlikely that a first...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Thing is with Schu at his best is that he adds somethng to the team that is otherwise lacking ( except for maybe Turbo and a little with DCE). That is the UneXpected. The present line up is quite impressive with two top tier halves, clever speedy centres, one explosive winger, an outstanding...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Wont happen even if you wish it would. The contract is signed and the money spent. No other team is going to fork out the equivalent monies and if they offer much less, Manly is paying the remainder for several years for no one playing. Waste of time contemplating having him leave. Would you...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Agreed Leonard that this has been going on as you say ad nauseam. To a lesser extent as I pointed out, the criticism aimed at Burbo has gone on for a few years, though less prominent as an issue. The same criticism of DCE when he was struggling to hold together a side with Turbo out for 50% of...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    No question that Schuster has been a disappointment over the past 2 years, but then injury has plagued him during that period, just as it seemed to be doing to Burbo. Short memory by some may show that Burbo was not being seen as a first grade potential only just last year. Steady but not built...

    Your views on 2024 after Round 1

    Takes between 4-6 rounds before the cream starts to settle at the top so these initial rounds are just a taste. I like Manly's structure and talent across the park this year. Power and speed with a lot of creativity in several players' game. Injuries will always be the key. Good start defeating...

    UFC’s plans to put roof over 4 Pines Park

    Great concept. However without trying to put too much of a dampener on the project questions come to mind. 1. What is the pay off in spending $300 million on the stadium and who is footing the bill. That's a lot of moolah and I dont see what a US company would get in return for such an outlay...

    Does Burbo cement a Top 17 spot in 2023 ?

    Ah yes but in 2021, he was in the second row and played like an extra 5/8 as well as playing 80 minute games and having a tackle rate on average near 30 only bettered by Jake and Croker with a high completion rate in tackling. He can manage it, no question. Just needs to get that head and body...

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

    If fit Schuster in my opinion will definitely be in the 17, though Seibold may bring him in slowly through the bench leaving Burbo first choice in the back row. Same forward pack with Schuster for Waddell, Humphries for Lawton. Talau or Vaega for Saab's wing.

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    Trouble with tags about people is that they tend stick. Human nature really. Brooks struggles now and then in defense in a side going nowhere and suddenly he's a poor defender. I recall all the nonsense about DCE. Then there was Walker. Suddenly they blossom and all somehow is forgotten though...
