The Manly Sea Eagles have finalised a proposal to play at least one game in China over the next three years according to the Sydney Morning Herald. With the Sea Eagles and Canberra Raiders having major sponsors that both have ties to China, the game is seen as a great way to promote the game…
The NRL has released the following statement in regards to Manly Sea Eagles winger David Williams after he was charged by Police: The National Rugby League will await the completion of court proceedings before determining if any disciplinary action is warranted in relation to the charging of Manly player David Williams. The NRL Integrity Unit…
After being hit with a fine for breaching the 2012 salary cap the Manly Sea Eagles have made a statement on their web site. It reads: The Sea Eagles today received a fine notice from the NRL in regards to alleged salary cap breaches in 2012. The $85,000 penalty was the result of an alleged…
The Canterbury Bulldogs have beaten the Manly Sea Eagles 32-30 in a Golden Point Extra Time game that was soured by poor crowd behaviour by Sea Eagles fans. With the Bulldogs dominating the first half and the Sea Eagles being slightly unlucky to not convert what possession they had, the Bulldogs looked in control for…
The Manly Sea Eagles are proud of the fact that they are the MANLY Sea Eagles, and everyone else can simply go fuck themselves. That’s fine. Lets face it, that attitude has been very successful for them. I would suggest that the Sea Eagles need to start thinking ahead though. They need to start thinking…
A sub standard crowd for an elimination final has watched the Manly Sea Eagles defeat the North Queensland Cowboys 22-12. This is a game that will be remembered for a very long time and for all the wrong reasons. First of all, as predicted Manly fans didn’t turn up in big numbers at all. 18kms…
You know, 18kms isn’t very far. That is the distance between Manly and the Sydney Football Stadium. I’m the first to say that the Sydney Football Stadium isn’t the best place to get to if you don’t live in inner Sydney. I have made the journey there many times before to watch NRL games, State…
Daly Cherry-Evans is a 23 year old halfback that has proven himself in big games, won a premiership with the Manly Sea Eagles and represented Australia. You simply don’t get many young halfbacks that tick all of those boxes. I don’t mean right now in 2012….I mean ever! Right now Daly Cherry-Evans is one of…
The Manly Sea Eagles are the 2001 National Rugby League Premiers after a dominant display in their Grand Final showdown with the New Zealand Warriors. I was going for the New Zealand Warriors in this match and they looked pretty good early on. In fact, the first 30 minutes of the match reminded me a…
Grand Finals are life changing experiences. For players, it is about that life long goal they have always had to reach the great pinnacle of the sport. It is a chance to live a childhood dream. For coaches, it is about going over everything a million times in their heads. As their team walks out…
So here we are, the last weekend of big NRL games for the season. I say the last weekend of big games for a reason. Next week, next week is more than a big game. Next week will be life changing. We are now down to four teams and I have to say, I liked…
Rugby League at its highest level is a male dominated industry. You only have to go back ten years and anything from female journalists to female board members were just about unheard of! Thankfully, times are changing, to the point where we have even moved on from the forced, token female presence. Now we are…
Rugby League is the only sport I know of where events that happen in and around the game can all be linked to its ultimate demise. Such was the case in the fallout of Friday nights brawl between the Melbourne Storm and the Manly Sea Eagles. The first fight was not bad, but nothing spectacular….
The pass was forward, no doubt about that. The Manly Sea Eagles are filthy about that pass. They have ever right to be as well. It was a mile forward and neither one of the referee’s or touch judges noticed it. Hold on, how did we get here? Go back to last Monday night, and…
The two referee’s have changed the way the game is played and we have gone away from wrestling, forward play late in the game, and we are seeing free flowing, skillful football late in games. I think this has really hurt the Manly Sea Eagles. Manly have become successful by playing the percentages. Play smart…
The Manly Sea Eagles obviously live in a glass bubble, thats the only conclusion you can come to when you hear that they are pissed off about the handling of the Brett Stewart affair. So upset are the players that they have threatened to boycott the end of season Dally M Awards. So, lets think…
If you are wondering why the NRL took until Wednesday to ban Brett Stewart for the first five rounds of the competition, just look at the Manly Sea Eagles board. The NRL gave the Sea Eagles every opportunity to do they right thing. They allowed them time to meet, twice, they even contacted Manly and…
The reason the Manly Sea Eagles are the best team in the world is because they have all the right people making the right decisions as far as the football team goes. The people with the money left the football brains go out and do their job. They don’t get involved in the football decisions,…
Its sad that journalism has slipped so much that these days you have to read all the news and then interperate what the real story is. Its just so lucky that I’m here, standing as the last bastion of journalistic integrity! Over the last couple of months we have seen a few stories published stating…
The Manly Sae Eagles are the 100th Premiers after they destroyed the Melbourne Storm 40-0 in the Grand Final. It is the biggest winning margin in Australian Rugby League history. The game was close and predictably hard fought early on, and while the Sea Eagles scored two unconverted tries early in the game you just…
The Manly Sea Eagles have soundly beaten the New Zealand Warriors 32-6 to book their place in their second straight Grand Final. You could see Manly were clicking right from the kickoff while the New Zealand Warriors looked a little shaky. The Warriors combination’s just didn’t gel and as I in my match preview, I…
Once again it was a contender versus a pretender, and Manly did it easily. The 38-6 win gives Manly a week off which I’m sure they will welcome, and see’s St George/Illawarra bundled out of the finals in a most embarrassing way. Manly really look the goods right now, and if it wasn’t for the…
The Melbourne Storm beat the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval last night but Manly can take heart. If it wasn’t for the terrible, shambolic play of their halfback, Matt Orford, Manly would have won the game. Orford started his game off with a forward pass that dribbled across the ground just a couple of…
Everyone has been hopping on the Manly Sea Eagles bandwagon over the last couple of months, but you won’t find me on there! The thought among experts is that Manly have not just improved on their 2007 form, but they have even improved over the course of this season and their standing at the top…
You have to wonder where Steve Menzies stands among the games all time greats. At the age of 42 he is still running around for Manly, scoring tries seemingly every week. Early on in his career Menzies copped a bit of a bad wrap, and funnily enough it was because he was so good. Playing…
Canberra’s resident idiot Todd Carney seems to be in hot demand at the moment with reported offers from the Penrith Panthers and Manly Sea Eagles topping the $1.6 million mark over a four year contract. Its been known for a while that Carney is shopping himself around despite denials, but why Penrith or Manly would…
A great crowd of over 32,000 has seen the Manly Sea Eagles beat the North Queensland Cowboys 28-6. Manly looked the better side for the entire game as the Cowboys just seem to be holding on for most of the match. Playing behind a beaten pack, Thurston, Bowen and Payne were just unable to get…
The Manly Sea Eagles have run out 30-6 winners over the South Sydney Rabbitohs, ending Souths amazing season and putting the Sea Eagles within one game of the NRL Grand Final. Its was a tough, close game for most of the match with South’s defense holding out Manly well, but a critical call on a…
Its been an agenda for a while now and for some stupid reason it persists despite the fact that on field results prove it would be a disaster! Now Jamie Lyon mentor and close person friend Noel Cleal Has told the Sydney Morning Herald thats Lyon is up to the job of playing five-eight for New South…
How good are Manly going. At the top of the NRL ladder, flying high and playing really well over some good opposition. As I watched them last weekend I thought about why they are so good…..and it hit me like an weekly Adrian Morley stiff arm that supposedly bounced off my chest! Manly brought players…
