    Double posting suggestion

    So I just opened a random thread in the football forum and six of the last seven posts in that thread are by the same person, all within a 1-hour window. This is just one example and isn't really news to any semi-regular forum poster. I don't want to pick on anyone here but double posting is...

    Pre-game versus Roosters/Titans

    Getting this thread in early. The good news is that we're still in the finals, and have a chance at some redemption next week. Whilst we were always a long shot to beat Melbourne, we have no excuses against either of these teams (most likely the Roosters). A lot of this team are young, and...

    Dally M Medal 2021

    I don't watch enough Penrith games to see if the following applies to Cleary (I imagine it might). The reason I only have a passing interest in the Dally M awards is summarised by the voting for our game on the weekend. Now Tom might just be the best player in the comp (I don't know if he...

    Rugby League in Victoria - Do they even care?

    I just had a quick look at the websites of the Herald Sun and The Age which are two of the largest publications in Victoria. The morning after they've won the premiership for the 4th time... and in The Age I had to scroll halfway down the page to find the first article about the NRL Grand Final...

    DCE and who should be Captain

    He is the definition of a flat-track bully, when we are looking off he is nowhere to be seen... I really don't think it is limited to 2020 either. Compare this to Jamie Lyon who was an incredibly consistent and calming influence on the whole team. We need to sort this out or we are dooming...

    Last play of the match vs Dragons

    Thought I would separate this from the game thread as there are a lot of things to discuss apart from the last play. Replay: https://streamable.com/zo654 You can hear the referees actually blow the whistle, call out Tim Lafai, then decide that they are just going to call full time anyway...

    Cameron Smith’s stunning call for NRL to return Melbourne’s stripped titles

    Not re-signing Glenn Stewart in 2014

    I would like to know... If you were in the position of our administration at the time, what would you have done? I just want to say that I get a little annoyed that people still refer to this decision alone as a catalyst of Manly's downfall. In 2014, largely due to the previously signed...

    Head of Football

    Serious question. What exactly does this position actually entail, apart from the generic "oversees football operations" that is sometimes said in press statements? I am pretty sure we did not have this position in the club during the past decade, so why now?

    Juniors and Recruits

    Firstly, I am guilty of not tracking the players that made the Grand Final of Holden Cup last year, apart from Tom Trbojevic. All I know is that since making the GF last year, we have sacked the Coach (results based business and all) and we are on the bottom of the Holden Cup ladder... 3 wins...

    That didn't look good. Please tell me that wasn't an ACL or another season-ender. :(

    Shoulder Charge

    Honest question... do we even know what it is anymore? I am guessing Jorge will be charged even though common sense says he shouldn't.

    Parramatta Eels tell Chris Sandow he's free to leave after questioning coach Brad Arthur's tactics "Chris Sandow reckons his style of footy wins games, but he won't be playing them for Parramatta for much longer after being told he is free to pack his bags immediately. Sandow cost himself any...

    Origin teams

    Who do you think will make State of Origin this year, and will any Sea Eagles feature in either team? Brett Stewart is an outside chance with Morris injured, but on current form, no one else will be shortlisted, surely? :confused:
