    We are boring to watch

    This is what a Cherry-Evans Captaincy looks like. A team with no character, no identity, no leadership, nothing to play for, no reason to sacrifice for the greater good. Season after season, any excuse is enough to crumble this group. Professional athletes posing as a team of players. Under...

    Game Day: Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Very similar in weight to backrowers like Mann, Stone, Radley, Aitken, Lawton etc but I would say quicker and with better footwork. His size is not the issue, the question is more to do with whether he could handle the increased workload.

    Game Day: Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Not a good enough reason in my books. He's actually more a centre. If anything, defending 2 positions in makes things a lot more simple actually

    Game Day: Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Can someone explain to me why Talau can't be used as our right edge backrower for a while and use Waddell in the middle rotation? Surely this improves our mobility across the park. Obviously if a back goes down mid-game, we can revert back to the status quo. Talau completely wasted of late, more...

    Is this where we are headed ( NRL)

    I reckon Dragons and Tigers are certainly safe well into the foreseeable future - their respective mergers pretty much guarantees this. If NRL was to cull (which Vlandys and Abdo have clearly stated this is not at all under consideration), the clubs at risk would be Manly and Cronulla

    Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Your enthusiasm is admirable. This lot are making no surges, sorry bud

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    May as well part ways with him end of 2026 at the latest. Whilst there isn't a premiership-winning ex-Manly supercoach ready to take over, surely a new regime will at least give the club's supporters at least the optimistic illusion of change for the better. Even if it's just a dream, it's still...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    I'm starting to come to the conclusion that our inconsistency may be as a result of simply having an average group of players. Even our "great" backline are most likely seriously overrated by us. Every team can beat any other team on their day, so talk of consistently playing to potential...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Big no from me. Better to give more game time to guys like Navale, Muagututia etc and bring in the highest quality recruit we can possibly land when the opportunity presents itself. He's a decent enough player but not worth a spot in our 30

    All NRL Games [Round 21, 2025]

    What a crazy opportunity season 2025 is turning out to be. Such a shame we can't finish top 4. Having said that, tomorrow will give us a clearer picture as to whether Manly are any sort of threat this year

    2026 Goalkicking

    We would be mad to let Garrick walk. Great bloke, great player. Getting better every year. One of my first picks. Reckon he hurts more than everyone bar Jake after a loss/poor performance. You'll always find a better deal in life, but loyalty is hard to come by

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I could be reading this wrong, but doesn't say last year our opponents converted repeat sets into tries 11% and this year 19%. That's significantly worse this year

    Siosiua Taukeiaho

    Outstanding performance. I think his high standard of energy and enthusiasm is also critical for Lodge to keep up with him in that first stint in particular.

    Seems they missed the memo for the Roosters yesterday

    Our record when you are optimistic mate is not good. After reading your post our odds have just lengthened dramatically. Cheers
