This is when being a Manly supporter is even better and you know we are starting to again become a competitive force....the trivial things start raising their heads like this 1.
A full news article about DCE dropouts and that he has 1 foot in the field when kicking even when the ball is on the line.
Well Hello....Iv'e deadset seen blokes 2 - 3 metres in the field with dropouts and way more than this time line where they should have been penalised but it's "crickets" on that stuff.
How about a serious issue in the game Storm and others specialise in, which is being tackled, getting up up walking 2 metres off the mark to put the marker offside and allow the dummy half to knife through the guts, leading to Massive momentum shifts and many tries...this is a Real thing for the NRL to look at and a game changer.
But I do love the hate, if we were coming last would not have copped a mention, maybe we are on the way back ....

The NRL's head of football has moved to clarify the rules around goal-line drop-outs amid constant claims from fans about Daly Cherry-Evans and the way he takes them. The Manly Sea Eagles captain has moved to a new technique for kicking drop-outs in 2024, which sees him stand in front of the goal-line before he kicks the ball.
Cherry-Evans likes to kick the ball to his right on drop-outs (targeting Jason Saab), making it tricky because he's right-footed. It means he gets himself in front of the goal-line before kicking the ball - although the ball is always on the line when he makes contact.

All season long, fans have been questioning whether Cherry-Evans is allowed to be in front of the line to kick the ball, with many suggesting he's in an off-side position. But Graham Annesley finally cleared up the situation in his weekly briefing on Monday.
The NRL's head of football stated that as long as Cherry-Evans drops the ball on the line or behind it before kicking, he's allowed to stand anywhere. "Some people are saying 'he's off-side', but you can't be off-side from your own kick," Annesley said.
