    2025 recruitment & retention

    I know it's the same in other sports My Manchester United soccer team have held onto and kept re-signing guys who are really good, but constantly injured in the hope they will come good. They never do. It's why Penrith do so well, lack of injuries to key players.

    Josh gone, Aloili released to super league, a lot of money there.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    You had to take Brooks to take the pressure off an aging DCE. Ben T has been given a go. Paulo came straight in. Lehi is talked up and I think managed well with his size at present. Gordon and Jamie could get a chance this week.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    This is the guy we need!! we need a top class 9 and he is it. Perfect opportunity and him playing in ressies is madness. He would want out. Cook would see Brooks, Lodge and Brown and see the fresh start, redemption and opportunity at Manly.

    Manase Fainu - Discussion

    I've said it a while ago, this kid was going to be a superstar and it's all gone. He would have been our starting hooker for 10 years and set him and his family up like Ola did. I worry for Josh as well.

    Article by Paul Kent in tomorrow's paper

    You can't blame Keith's death in 2020 for this. All of us have had to move on with loss of family and friends. It's probably a case of Josh not loving footy, maybe he's always felt the pressure to make the big money for the family and set them up for life. You see other similar kids loving it...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    I'm sure we all hope Josh fires up. It will help us immensely as he is, and as so many say, hugely talented.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    This case is so odd as at 600k plus we have this guy for quite a few years already has never really shown much at all. Currently not even considered for first grade at present and for years we have talked about his weight and subsequent injuries and he's signed until end of 2027. Seems to have...

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    You should have tried getting over the Spit Bridge too. Crawled for an hour and a half just to get back into Sydney.

    Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

    I was there that day against Parra. No joke, fans were hanging on the hand rails on each step of the southern stand as I was in it. People sitting in the walkways of stands too. Everyone was literally standing below me. It was nuts. Not as crazy as the Norths game. Got there at 12 for a 3pm...

    Is Weekes the next Gutherson

    I think we will spend big time on a half when DCE finishes. Latu needs a few more years so may get him back etc at the right time. The young Alexander is going great guns in matts I hear too.

    Is Weekes the next Gutherson

    I just can't see where Weekes would fit with us? Not at 1, 6, 7, 9 or 14. Tom or Tolu, Brooks, DCE, Froggy, Gordon and Jamie. Maybe as a 14 but the two young guys are talented too. We are chasing the gun half from the tigers so not long term for 7 for Weekes.

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    I hate to say it but if we are still doing the local kids first then it will be one long season. The year we used all the Scone kids with the coach from there was pretty bad.

    The Manly Way

    I enjoyed the first two immensely but the past two ones have been tedious. Not sure where they can head but as mentioned, was it the last one where we watched guys just going up and down. Love to see Ennis working drills with the hookers, DCE kicking to Saab in the goal line (bombs practice)...

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    That left hand side could be lethal. With Brooks, Schu and Tolu. Massive potential with tiring forwards and poor defence reads. Brooks changes everything as he is a runner.
