    Aloiai Gone

    I dislike him, but not because of his religious views or convictions. I don’t agree with them but also don’t care what he thinks. However, he was ill disciplined on the field and perpetually injured, which meant he cost more than he contributed. He comes across an arrogant tough guy without the...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Lucas, Healey, and Moale would be a serious step in the right direction for next year. Doubt the first two happen though.

    Manly’s Future – A Club in Decline?

    I’m itching for some success but it doesn’t matter what happens because Manly isn’t just some hobby that I can park when things aren’t going as planned…it’s been the backdrop of my life since I was a little kid. It’s like family and you never turn your back on family. It’s more than the players...

    Adam O'Brien

    He seems pretty dry and uninspiring to me but he knows a thing or two about the game. Outside of 2025, he did quite well with an average roster at the Knights. Outside of Ponga, they've had a pretty mediocre spine and he was able to get them into the finals most seasons of his tenure. He has...

    Manly’s Future – A Club in Decline?

    Again, I think this is one of the scenarios that pop up on the forum from time to time where we're obsessed with the idea of a dichotomy; is it the players or is it Clearly, when it's both. He's an elite coach with a great roster. Put that great roster in the hands of Barrett and they don't win...

    Adam O'Brien

    The guy’s not stupid; he’d know that the quickest route back to a head coaching role is to be an assistant at a successful club. Further, he’s already worked with Seibs and already has knowledge and knows what he’s about. He can learn systems at the Dogs and potentially take that knowledge into...

    Tommy Talau

    The game evolving to include wingers and centres as forwards is the biggest myth going; it’s not their involvement that has evolved. It’s been happening since Adam was a boy. It’s just that they’re better at it now. Wendell Sailor and Lote T were doing for Brisbane in the late 90s and early...

    2027 Head Coach Candidates

    He left Manly by mutual agreement after a punch up with one of Baz’s staff…I doubt he’s keen to return to Manly. He signed a confidentiality agreement.

    Jack Bird

    From memory, he was let go by Manly and returned to the Gold Coast Titans but never played FG for them in his second stint. He was largely ineffective towards the end of his time at Manly. There were a couple of good seasons where his leg speed was effective but I always think of his time at...

    Garrick general news thread

    There were suggestions that path needs to be cleared for Large, and I can only hope that's the case. He can run 100m just a tad slower than Koula and faster than Jesse McClean at Penrith. He is big and has all the skills. Given we have Brooks, the Fog signing, and the Joey Walsh debut, it's...

    Garrick general news thread

    I’m surprised how maligned Garrick is within our own supporter base. He is a great competitor and always gives 110%. I thought he made a good fist of centre and was a real threat. Sure, his edge had issues but I think defending between DCE and Saab had a lot to do with it. I think he’s a class...

    2027 Head Coach Candidates

    I’m baffled by this from Barrett. I get that we can all be a little bit cynical and quick to judge people in the public eye but seriously, what a goose… It’s a clear attempt to shift the narrative away from his own lack of success, calling them ‘false starts’ before suggesting that he chose the...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I reckon all coaches flog their players and there’s just a media narrative around Maguire that’s gained traction. They won the comp because they have the best roster in the NRL.

    Who gets your nod for Captain ?

    He was great that day against the Knights when Humphreys made his debut.

    Who gets your nod for Captain ?

    I’ve never liked the idea of a new recruit taking captaincy duties. You earn your stripes so I’d keep Fog well away from it. It’s Tom and Jake’s team; one of those two and I’m happy.
