Definitely recall Des filling in on the wing at the latter stages of one S O O game and could well have been on his debut game- manly al

Helpful all round considering recent circumstances , that it is now settled ,even allowing for a bit of caution on the 3 year component Hardly think however that the signing and the final contract amount is going to assist that much in picking up good level or a couple of good level forwards ...- manly al

The Daly Cherrygraph
Recall reading a pre match team rating just before the 2013 G F that had the Roosters just very marginally ahead and that seemed to be based on Soony Bill's ability to sometimes be able to change the course of a game . Even doubtful if he should have been eligible to return to the N R L that...- manly al

T K O has the playing style that seems to suit or assisting the Manly mid field play Can not underestimate his late off load ability as well which may be able to be utilized at various stages as the season progresses .Holding his own defensively . Next season is another matter but working...- manly al

Looks like the equation is coming or could be coming down to Fogarty on 750 K for 3 years , not an unrealistic possibility now that D C E could stay on for a year or 2 on similar money[ or slightly more ] or taking a punt on Walsh ; Which would definitely be the least likely outcome . Just...- manly al

Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]
Not too sure whether there is an unofficial agreement between him and Manly to stay on already or if he continues to just not make a call on his future for whatever reason . Would have to be some outside interest if he has not made some type of an ongoing unofficial commitment to Manly but...- manly al

Options for D C E would seem to be on the very limited side right now . Not even sure if the Roosters would even be definitely interested at this stage with that young or emerging half making an apparent good impression recently , Sandon Smith going apparently well again and Sam Walker on...- manly al

Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]
Would have to be a serious discussion point for the Sharks game with Jass versus Jake at 13 , Bully starting at prop and Simpkin starting and big minutes at 9 Be more inclined to think that Simpkin to 9 a or should be a given , deceptive runner and does not shirk the defensive...- manly al

Is Mestrov looking to get out?
Personally i would not care if he did back flip and was prepared to stay on 750 K for one year and even taking into account the past few week 's shenanigans . if last night 's turnaround in form and attitude is any guide and strictly in the professional sense . In addition to the hardly clear...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Great win and commitment all round , every player really put in and lifted , Defence held up when it mattered and played to their strengths again in attacking plays .Turbo does make a major difference but again pretty good team effort all round where the stakes were naturally pretty high in...- manly al

Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Will be interesting for the middle rotation . Waddell should go all right , Maybe Brown will go to 13 and Jass to prop for a while . No quite as much impact when Bully has been coming into a game but it is what it is Bully should have already been given more minutes previously and on...- manly al

The Actual 18th Team: Perth Bears
From what i can gather , the franchise is going to be jointly owned , at least initially by the N R L and W A government . Then the franchise being up for sale after a couple or few years . Just can not see the logic or practicality on so much emphasis on the Bear ;s connection or input . W A...- manly al

Guess that everything is relative but the Broncs were allowed to pick up Ben Hunt for what ? - 500 - 550 K . Seems a bit on the dubious side Really do not think that Arthur can be a viable option , Maybe could be a competitive 6 somewhere out there at a realistic price to...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Much will depend on the general fitness level of Alioia , Bully and Brown , if they can hold up all right , should be able to stay relatively competitive in the middle . And that does not take into account Turbo of course . In the circumstances , more likely Navale to come on to the bench...- manly al
