    2025 recruitment & retention

    Rorters sign another backrower in Fifita, they have both the Butcher brothers, Wong and looking at extending Crichton, they also have Topouniua, Ethan Roberts and Blake Steep coming through. Surely they can’t keep all those players for two positions..

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    The third party options we should be very competitive with if the owners were willing to utilise their diversified business groups/ companies to come up with the remuneration that the Donkeys can as an example. Penn has the ability to do this, the question for me is why he isn’t.

    Tom is a Myth

    I think that’s one of the concerns with Koula at the back is does he have the passing game at the moment, only seen glimpses of him there last season however his speed and footwork are major attributes for a fullback. If Tom gets picked for origin we will get a few more games with Koula at the...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Dollars wise in the cap is one of the variables along with positional in the squad, getting a decent backrower for this season is a challenge with what’s available and the duration of the contract. The only players not used in the 30 squad this season are Brad Parker, Jake Arthur, Jamie...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Recruiting for 2024 with 4 spots needing to be filled by June 30 is interesting with the balance for 2025. Off contract end of 2024. Nathan Brown - In discussions for contract extension. Gordon Chan Kum Tong - Nothing of note for extension as yet. Jamie Humphreys - Nothing of note for...

    Badger is in charge of the Roosters v Warriors and in the bunker for the Panthers v Bulldogs game.

    Tom is a Myth

    I think Tommy is playing origin, watching him in the nine games this season he doesn’t look to be switched on for the full 80 minutes, I don’t know if that’s injury or self doubt due to previous injuries. From the nine games played this season the spine hasn’t unlocked Koula, the thing that I...

    Tommy Talau

    The left edge in attack is not where it was with Garricks speed, Talau has done well with ball returns though he isn’t a winger for me in today’s game you want speed on the wing. Talau has been safe, which is a band aid solution there on the wing.

    Tom is a Myth

    I share the sentiment on Garrick, very good winger and the attack on the left edge has suffered without his speed there. Turbo his effort plays in attacking the ball have been below expectation this season, letting bombs bounce rather than go for the ball hasn’t been in his game over the years...

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    Astonishing that Annesley has come out and stated that Badger will be refereeing this weekend in first grade, the performance over the last two games has been extremely poor for an official. Nothing to do with gender when the officiating is poor.

    Waddell - a pleasant surprise

    He was poor against the Raiders, he has played well up until that game. There is a reason he is on minimum dollars for a player of his age and experience, for me he isn’t a week in week out 80 minute player, does a job off the bench for 20 minutes. The club hasn’t made any visible movements in...

    Paul Kent in trouble again

    The absence of Paul Kent from Fox Sports could be a bonus for the network if its ratings when he was stood down last year are any guide. The culture at Fox Sports is again in question after the street fight that resulted in the sidelining of its loudest and most prominent voice, but the company...

    Simple maths Tom + Jake = Paul Gallen

    I have watched Humphries in two games this season with him playing 9 in NSW cup, his ball distribution from dummy half was very ordinary. I share your opinion in the club need a number 9, someone that compliments Croker would be a start, see how Gordon goes against the Dolphins, with both...

    All NRL Games [Round 9, 2024]

    The NRL referee cupboard must be very empty for Badger to be in charge of another game. Disgrace that she doesn’t get put back to NSW cup after last weeks performance, players must be disappointed when she gets put in charge of their games..
