    2026 recruitment & retention

    Sure, that's exactly what we need, but is it really what we look for? Evidence suggests not.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I think Seibold credited it to Steven Hales.

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    I loved that quote, too, Rosko. And that ringing endorsement is followed by the revelation that Seibold has two weeks to "turn it around", which presumably means winning our next two games or he's gone. Even though it's at home, I would be shocked if we beat the Tigers in our next game (because...

    Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't

    Mate, I don't think Scott Penn understands or even likes the game of rugby league. He likes being the owner of a rugby league club, which allows him to get his head in the papers, and he certainly liked hanging around the coaches and players when we were winning premierships. But outside of...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    What an absolute f@#king clown show. This has Scott Penn's "leadership" from afar all over it. Seven-minute interviews? Assessment sheets listing each player's deficiencies as a rugby league player? Leaks to both the Murdoch press and Nine? Not even @God can help us out of this one.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Maybe the catering budget at 4 Pines Park can only take the hit for another couple of years…

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I agree, but I still think it's almost a certainty that he'll be at the Roosters next year. And really, while the most important thing for Manly supporters is that he won't be at our club, I'd be a little upset if another fanbase - especially the Roosters' fanbase - didn't get to experience the...

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Ooh, awesome! I feel so much more confident now we've called in the auditors. Seriously, can any of these key stakeholders teach our boys how to tackle? Or to give a sh#t about their performances? Otherwise it's just more blather and noise.

    Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Agreed, SER8. As much as many of us would love to see it, dropping our captain to reserve grade would only set the club up for a media beatdown. He will be here for the year and we all need to deal with it. But it's wild how quickly opinions can change. At the end of last season, and even at...

    The Manly Way

    Can't say they haven't had a lot of learning opportunities, can they?

    The Haumole Bible.

    Without Haumole, our pack just got even less intimidating than it already was. There is no way to replace him because he really is a one of a kind. But surely it's as good an opportunity as any to give somebody coming through the ranks a shot instead of Chee Kam or Waddell. Navale? Patolo? Anyone?

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    It's taking the easy option, every single time. We have no desire to be involved in "the grind" of rugby league at all. All we want to do is score tries, off every single play. We are, in three simple words, soft as f#@k. And it's probably just a coincidence that those same three words also...

    Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Well, at least this thread should be mercifully free of posters confidently predicting the huge number of points we'll be putting on this week's sub-standard opposition…

    Tom Turbo .. interesting if true

    If you still think he can come good, then yes, it's a difficult decision. His ceiling is so high that it seems crazy not to make allowances for him. But I'm just not sure there is any timeline remaining in the NRL multiverse where Tommy is 100% fit. It feels like these days he lands somewhere on...

    All NRL Games [Round 15, 2025]

    The idea that they would replace the best young halfback talent in the NRL with a 38 year-old was always ludicrous.
