[Resurrected] Hasler named Titans coach after shock Holbrook exit
If Des is in line for an early exit, he is right where he wants to be. Once the Titans bite the bullet and sack him, he can get back to doing what he loves to do best: discussing the finer points of contract law with his legal team and chasing a big payout from his former employers.- Ron E. Gibbs

Why Manly are the most frustrating team in the NRL
The only explanation I can come up with, when everybody clearly knew that was not a 40/20, is that Lehi threw the ball away after they made the wrong call, and so maybe they figured they couldn't give us back possession. Still doesn't make much sense, but I like to think there was at least some...- Ron E. Gibbs

It's wild that we managed to beat the four-time defending premiers and the team currently running last in the same night!- Ron E. Gibbs

Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
I figured we'd play better and that having Turbo back would be a huge lift, but I also thought we'd be too light on in the forwards to get the job done. Turns out we were not. That was one of the best wins I can remember in a while. As others have said, we managed to hold firm when the tide...- Ron E. Gibbs

MVP: Rd 8 v Panthers
3. Simpkin. If we were looking for him to stake a claim to be our starting hooker, he did just that. More runs from dummy half in the one game than we've seen in the last five years. 2. Haumole. Terrifying man, and his hands were excellent tonight - great passing game (as opposed to last week...- Ron E. Gibbs

Caleb Navale
Good involvement in stopping that try on the line, too. He definitely has the makings of a good player, and it'd be great to get him more minutes in the top grade.- Ron E. Gibbs

Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
See, this is why I think it's tough blaming performances like last week on the coach. If you don't keep throwing the ball away every time you have possession, you're a much better chance of staying in the game. But this has been a great improvement so far. Good control, good defence. And...- Ron E. Gibbs

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
If Sean Keppie was still with us, he would easily be our number one prop. And even though he has improved at Souths, he is still very ordinary. That is how stretched we are for decent forwards.- Ron E. Gibbs

See the smile on Kurt Capewell after the game? Almost like he knows he'll be running into Ponga in a Christchurch nightclub toilet cubicle in a few hours' time…- Ron E. Gibbs

The Daly Cherrygraph
I still can't see how $750K is a "lowball" offer to Cherry. He's been paid wheelbarrows full of money by the club over a long period of time. He's also 37 years old. That offer would have taken that into account. It would also take into account the club's salary cap position overall. The hope...- Ron E. Gibbs

JArthur leading try assists in NSW cup
Yeah, that's all I was thinking of Nordburg. Last season he was injured so he didn't even get that.- Ron E. Gibbs

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
For some reason I think we'll put in a better performance than the last two this weekend (not a high bar to clear, admittedly), but I still think we'll fall short. My main hope is that Mitch Kenny is way more important to the Panthers than I think he is.- Ron E. Gibbs
