Manly Sea Eagles

The Manly Sea Eagles were founded in 1947 and have played at Brookvale Oval since their inception. The Sea Eagles were at the peak of their powers during the 1970’s where they won four Premierships out of the seven they have achieved so far in their history. Manly’s 40-0 Grand Final triumph over the Storm in 2008 is now the biggest victory margin achieved by any Australian Rugby League team in a Premiership decider.

Hasler’s departure could be key to Eagle success

by Fletcher_Celand - January 12th 2012 @ 6:40am

With the dust barely settled on the storm that was Des Hasler leaving the Eagles’ nest for Belmore, the question needs to be asked: does this stand Manly in better stead for back-to-back success than if he had stayed? There is often opinion on high-intensity coaches like Hasler, Ricky Stuart, Craig Bellamy and others, that [...]

Cliffy flies back into the Sea Eagles fold

by John Davidson - January 6th 2012 @ 9:05am

Manly icons Crusher Cleal and Dessie Hasler may have left the club, but another Sea Eagles legend has rejoined the ranks. Former Australian and NSW representative Cliff Lyons has been appointed as Manly’s NSW Cup coach for 2012. Lyons returns to the Sea Eagles are leading the Narraweena Hawks to back-to-back premierships in Manly’s A-Grade [...]

When the NRL GF rematch lives up to the hype

by Fletcher_Celand - December 30th 2011 @ 6:42am

With the NRL draw released last week it got the taste buds tingling for the greatest game of all – right at the height of summer when distractions of pools, barbecues and cricket are oh-so tempting. As always, the first round looked to be carefully constructed to give the 2012 season the bang it deserves [...]

Manly Sea Eagles hierarchy’s gross incompetence

by GoddyofAus - December 27th 2011 @ 1:19am

It’s the longest fall in NRL history, or so it could be argued. How unprecedented it was, that a club that was a month out from winning a trophy, seemingly self-imploded by losing their multi-premiership winning coach. And this was off the back of a circumstance that could have been quite easily avoided. I would [...]

Rugby league’s new era: where to now?

by joshie93 - February 10th 2012 @ 3:00pm

At 11.30am today, on February 10, 2012, rugby league and the NRL in Australia and New Zealand changed forever. A board of eight respected rugby league community members, otherwise known as the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC), assumed office and will took control from the ARL and News Limited.

Why sporting seasons should never cross paths

by Chris Chard - February 10th 2012 @ 3:20am

Much of the talk in sports circles this week has revolved around Channel Nine’s scheduling clash between a One Day cricket international and an opening round NRL fixture. But can we really pin the blame for this on Sutcliffe, Spidercam and the boys at Nine? Surely it’s the sports themselves, in this case perennial Prime [...]

Independent Commission four years in the making, but worth the wait

by David Lord - February 10th 2012 @ 2:00am

It would be a positive start for rugby league’s new Independent Commission if Melbourne and Manly removed their knives from David Gallop’s back. Today is the day, ending nearly four years of bickering, and territorial in-fighting. The 13-man code has at last regained control of its own game for the first time since 1995. And [...]

Federal Court has it wrong on sports broadcast copyright

by The Cattery - February 9th 2012 @ 3:51am

In a rare show of solidarity, AFL boss Andrew Demetriou and NRL boss David Gallop were photographed together yesterday walking through the corridors of power on Capital Hill. They had just finished lobbying both sides of the political divide about possible changes to the Copyright Act to combat the recent Federal Court decision allowing telecommunications [...]

An open letter to Channel Nine

by Ghost Crayfish - February 9th 2012 @ 3:46am

Dear Channel Nine, I write to you as one of many frustrated rugby league fans. Please hear me out. This letter is not about the infuriatingly poor quality of your NRL commentary team, nor is it focussed on the laughably tired format and tone of your Footy Show. I don’t even intend to complain about [...]

The NRL’s scariest players

by CurtisW1908 - February 8th 2012 @ 9:04am

They are the hired guns of their generation. Giants amongst men better known for their intimidating physiques than their skill or finesse. Feared by their opponents, these guys are the real deal. There are two rules when it comes to these hitmen. Don’t run at them and stay the hell out of their way! 10: [...]
