So not only a better performance from Turbo but a much more cohesive effort from our boys in both attack and defence. Very pleased by the result and the effort shown.

Thoroughly enjoyable article and several interesting points that I had forgotten, thanks. This is the era that I started really getting into the NSWRL, so will always hold it in very high regard and affection. The 90s though was the high water mark for rugby league for me though, notwithstanding the SL war.
One question though, did Sterlo say “If we freeze it right there… and as play continues?”

Enjoyable article, thanks Vincent. You make a compelling case and I agree that Burton should be in the discussion. In any case though, I just hope NSW pick players in their best positions, which has not always been the case.

Matt Burton is the ideal five-eighth to complement the Cleary show in Origin

Tommy went to the States and came back a naturally aspirated 2L diesel. Would it be inappropriate to mention Les Darcy or Phar Lap?

Me too. How absurd!

I find it interesting that a lot of pundits think Turbo is our best player and that we’d be lost without him, despite Garrick being a very capable deputy. I actually have nightmares about DCE going down. He is clearly our best player and has been for some time. He just deserves a better team around him.

I’m sure the Las Vegas venture will be every bit as successful as the Longbeach Origin in 1987.

All I can say is that he must have some incriminating photos of someone important.

Morgan Harper has not been named in the team to play Brisbane this week. Weird.

I think it was to retain Josh Schuster. It was a poor decision then and is a poorer decision now.

ANALYSIS: Titans put Dolphins disaster behind them, but Manly remember what happens when Turbo doesn't play

So pleased for long suffering Tigers fans this morning. Just watched the replay and it was a very gutsy performance from the Tiges. Good on them.

This Manly performance is reminiscent of the dark days of the Northern Eagles. 10 minutes of commitment and 70 of mediocrity. They just don’t look like a well coached team, and are short on outside backs. Good on the Titans and Keiran Foran. Still hurts seeing him run out for the opposition!

Excellent article, thanks Graham. Lest we forget.

Remembering the elite Australian sportsmen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country

I’d love to have Wighton at left centre for Manly, but I don’t think there is that sort of money available under the cap.

Maybe Latrell is helping his mate “test the market” to squeeze more money out of the Raiders.

If Walker is punted, he will still be in high demand. He’s a very good young player and there aren’t many first grade quality half-backs running around.

Nope. Neither has the temperament or the requisite toughness for Origin. Very good club player though.

I like Turbo and Trell in the centres and would like to see Dylan Edwards at FB if Teddy isn’t fit.

Good points, EJ. Yeah, could have been a lot worse for us tonight. Doesn’t get any easier next week though…

ANALYSIS: If this is the 2023 Panthers, then everyone else should be very worried indeed

Excellent analysis, Mike. I think though that if Manly tighten up their defence around the ruck and improve their discipline, they’ll be a handful for Penrith next week. If they don’t, you are right- the Panthers will win by 30.

ANALYSIS: Young scores four as Manly and Newcastle fight to epic draw - just don't talk about the tackling

It’s a good opportunity for Manly to show that they can win win without a full-strenth team. Looking forward to it.

Dunno, GB. The Knights have been showing a bit of ticker lately and I reckon we really have our work cut out for us.

Yeah, he’s definitely a player of the future.
