The Oracle

[Woodsie]

Ok, who will replace wright at the nines???

I predict Lewis Brown.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Yeah i agree. I think it has to be a top 25 player so brown would definetly be in the frame.

 

[Woodsie]

If Perrett is out, then that takes interesting to a new level.

 

[Rusty Cage]

That's a OEE blast from the past!

That's a OEE blast from the past!

Certainly is, I remember the Oracle well, it was as funny as all ****!!

I'm real good mates with Aaron Markie who created and ran OEE, and also ran the MWSE forum until Zorba canned it.

Good times , I reckon if I add my OEE posts , MWSE posts and Silvertails posts I'd probably have 40,000 or so!!

It would be interesting to go back and read some threads in OEE.

Must say Mark, from this "long time Listener, first time caller" type, if there was a forum hall of fame (or shame!), you would be one of the first to get a nod.

Use to love OEE - gday to Aaron if he reads this! Also the Oracle was an absolute tool, there was some other weirdo called Mark from Moree...

Thankfully they don't post here

My first ever forum was way back in the 90's, a young Aussie of the year Bryan Gaensler ran a forum, I was one of the first to take it up, from there to OOE, then MWSE, and finally Silvertails!!

Yes the Oracle was indeed that ,and that other bugger, thank goodness he's no longer about!!

Bryan's career has gone on to bigger and brighter things since then, if you pardon the pun, there was also some tool who was running a Manly Haters site, from memory an obvious Norths supporter, and Norths were still in the comp and hadn't merged with us, so I wonder how he feels after the breakup?.

I used to read the one eyed eagle. I heard a rumour the club closed it down. Not sure if that is true or just a rumour.

No, what actually happened is the club offered the owner ,Aaron Markie, a job, and to start and run their own forum and their first website.

Later Zorba closed down the Forum, and soon after Aaron left.

He now runs the NRL websites ( that each club uses) and the digital app (streaming service).

I think he actually works for Telstra who hav the contract, but that mightn't be right.

Good guy Aaron, we've remained close friends for all these years since.

 

[Bearfax]

Interested that Jamil's name hasnt been mentioned.

That's interesting @Mark from Brisbane and yes Aaron is a good guy. Remember him well and it was a big loss and a shame he left. Glad he's doing well for himself.

Back on topic @Woodsie , I wouldn't be surprised if Dylan Walker replaces Wright in the 9's, being a centre and handy goalkicker.

 

[The Wheel]

Zorba said the same about Dylan in today's paper - good news is that he has fully recovered from his wrist surgery

Don't they just drop kick to convert? Will be surprised if they risk Walker, but they could.

Ha, and me making a comment after Cliffy Lyons retired, my goodness that's awhile ago now!!

Great read, especially some from Mark from Moree. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same. Here is one that caught my eye for many reasons ... look at who he suggests we buy.

I THINK THAT MANLY SHOULD LET KOSEF GO. HE IS NOT A PLAYER WORTH ANYWHERE NEAR 600,000 BUCKS A YEAR. HE IS NOT A MATCHWINNER AND CANNOT REALLY TURN A GAME LIKE A BRAD FITTLER OR ALFIE LANGER.AND AS FOR RICKY STUART HE IS RUNNING ON OLD LEGS. I CAN REMEMBER IN 1995 WHEN OWEN CUNNINGHAM RAN AROUND HIM WITH EASE.PLEASE NOT RICKY!!. LET HIM GO TO PARRAMATTA WITH THEIR FIVE OTHER HALFBACKS. WHO IS BLOODY RUNNING THE PLACE AT THE MOMENT. ALL WE SEEM TO BE IN THE MARKET FOR AT THE MOMENT ARE GUYS OVER 30.WE WILL BE KNOWN AS DADS ARMY.IT IS EMBARRASSING.WHERE THE **** IS ARKO. BRING BACK ARKO. BRING BACK ARKO.BRING BACK ARKO.HOW ABOUT SOME YOUNG BLOKES LIKE TRENT BARRETT ECT. NEXT MANLY WILL START NEGOTIATING WITH GEOFF GERARD AND JOHN RAPER.
