Sack Seibold Immediately
Has to be considered also the likes of D C E , Turbo , Jake , Brooks are taking up just over 3 . 5 mil of the cap , pretty much one third . And if not getting value for money and predominately regular below par performance outcomes or in Turbo 's case also regular non - availability, sure is...- manly al

Sack Seibold Immediately
Guess if the pressure and even necessity may occur if things can not improve even marginally with Manly stocks and indirectly Siebs , certainly is going to be an expensive pay out. Taking into account he still apparently has 2 and a half years to run on his current deal Then also still taking...- manly al

Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
Another concern to ideally address A S A P: is the sides inability over the past couple of games to score points on a more consistent basis Had been one of the side 's genuine strengths and to often put them in game winning positions but against two of the lesser rated sides recently and...- manly al

Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
Think that there definitely has to be some positional changes but very much doubt moving Turbo to a 6 role is going to help much . Pretty much being nullified with his attack now and at 6 , probably even more ineffectual . Plus his now almost regular susceptibility to injury and even more...- manly al

The Haumole Bible.
Better then out for the full season , Might be an opportunity to get rid of some niggles as well , one of the best busting forwards in the comp but not always getting the ball in optimum positions and just getting too much attention and a but hammered with the ball . Still adamant to give...- manly al

NSW Cup 2025
Only in the trials from recollection . Thought that he really had a bit going for him earlier on . Good work ethic , solid built and reasonably mobile but just that next level of intensity maybe an issue- manly al

[Resurrected] Lachlan Croker
Froggy usually has been quite effective with that close in , mid field defence , including locking the ball up and general tidying up but as was the case when he was playing in the halves , really struggles with lateral defence in more broken play . Sides have woken up now the best way to...- manly al

New coach Poll
Pretty fair call that Holbrook does have a bit going for him . Maybe could bring him in as an assistant coach , could be interpreted as a bit of an indication of lack of confidence in the present coaching grouping but looks like a bit of a shakeup required here as much as the main playing group...- manly al

NSW Cup 2025
Some interesting observations there . If Walsh looks to be coming on really well in coming weeks , maybe every reason to give him a crack in i st grade latter this season if the circumstances warrant . Could even be a case to say move Brooks to a 14 role next season as a back up to possibly...- manly al

We are Laughing stock of the NRL
Personally would go with a Croker - Simpkin combo , use Jazz as a prop . Can "t see the point of replacing Ola with Waddell , not going to offer much there , As mentioned in another post , think that a player with some leg speed and line breaking ability like Bully would be a better choice on...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]
Hard to come to terms with but just too many things working against this current Manly line up for a couple of months now to have any serious expectations they will be able to do that much better any time soon . Know that the Titans for whatever reason have had the wood on Manly sides the past...- manly al

Aloiai Gone
Hopefully Bully has definitely committed or agreed to terms for another few seasons and Tent can make a full recovery by season "s end Then leaving most probable Jake and T K O to carry on into next season as other likely middle options , Sipley may well stay on but with status quo there ...- manly al

Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]
Can only expect the Titans to try and lift a bit , whether Manly give them that opportunity will be the main factor Will definitely need D C E and Brooks to be on their game more and a particular character test for D C E to show a true professional approach after the origin call . Very much...- manly al

Aloiai Gone
Credit to Aloiai for really trying to put in and being quite competitive on his few appearances this season but over the past 3 seasons or so , probably has as bad a game availability deficit as Turbo . May have helped a little bit late last year when Manly edged into the finals and his presence...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Looks increasingly like Hass or one of Hass" s consideration is being part of a squad with serious premiership prospect in the near term but then also the main preference to still be based in the S E Qld region somewhere . Either way , right now , can not really see Manly [ and not only Manly ]...- manly al
