    Who decides stuff at the club?

    Given some of the ridiculous decisions at the club over the life of any child turning 10 this year, I wonder if anyone actually knows who makes all the decisions? Penn seems (literally) a world away. Various CEOs seem to struggle to make their mark. Coaches always seem hamstrung. Who is the...

    Our Biggest Point of PRIDE* under threat

    I was lucky enough that my first game of Rugby League was going to the 1972 Grand Final. Been supporting winners ever since that day. And what a wonderful ride it has been with a Premiership every decade ever since that beautiful day when I fell in love with the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles. A...

    Tommy on the fifth

    Can someone please explain to me the logic of Tommy getting the ball for pretty much every fifth tackle. It happens so often it's become much the default option. And nothing ever comes of it. Even my football luke warm partner now preempts it with, 'oh look, it'd the fifth' they'll give it to...

    Politics and Sport

    The other thread was closed so I started a new one because I have an observation. Yay for me! There's quite the controversy over in The Old Dart at the moment where Gary Linekar has been suspended by the BBC from hosting Match of the Day because he described his Government's proposed asylum...

    Alfred Naupoto

    We have a brilliant young man doing all our visual media stuff by the name of Alfred Naupoto and we are so lucky to have him. He does everything from this fun little T Sips bit to the Tommy doco to every other great little offering we get. He's too talented to stay around for long so we should...

    Scott Penn article

    Shave For Bear Cottage

    I know this is mentioned in Club News but I think it needs it's own thread. It's only up to $1400, as of posting ($100 of which is mine). C'mon Silvertails. Put your money where your big fat mouths 😉🤷‍♀️ are...

    No US game in 2023. What a relief!

    @Danny_Weidler · 5m BREAKING: The NRL won’t be playing the opening round in the USA next season. They have not given up hope of doing it in years to come.

    Kevin Iro

    Thought I'd link this really interesting article about where Kevin Iro's life has headed. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/oct/23/my-focus-has-shifted-kevin-iro-on-evolving-from-rugby-league-star-to-ocean-advocate

    Managers

    Oooft! Just thought I'd post so we can keep track. Seibold is with Isaac Moses (Cove Agency), who many say has had too much power at the Eels and now at the Knights. Dessie is with George Mimis (SFX) who also manages, via Paul Sutton, the Trbojevics and Sean Keppie ... hence the quotes from...

    Fullback

    I found this really interesting and thought others might too. I'm sure someone else will publish it but I can only do the link. It also highlights the huge defensive aspect we were missing without Tommy...

    The Postcode Wars

    I was struggling as to where to post this but thought it significant after the year we've had with postcode signs and the whole Manase nightmare so I've just made this thread and, of course, mods can move it if you think it's more general. Tonight's Four Corners did a good story on the postcode...

    Factions

    What the hell is it with Manly and factions and how do we ever get past it? Obviously the most damaging faction shoot out has been ownership and, while that infighting is apparently done and dusted, it does feel like the lingering stench of that particular faction war is still damaging the club...

    Knox on Salary Cap and other blatant unfairness

    Once again, he's spot on here: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/rugby-league-only-has-one-problem-but-it-s-a-bloody-big-one-20220826-p5bcyc.html

    Couldn’t decide which of the gazillion Tommy threads to put this in so started a new one. Him and Bully must get on well!

    Deep deep doo doo

    I have never seen the Club in such a hole. The problems we face largely centre around the seven. They form a block with a great deal of power. A block willing to put themselves before the club. Within this block are not only religious fundamentalists, but several young men who's very close...
