    Tof Sipley

    Maybe Taukeiaho , Patolo and Tevaga are really impressing in pre season training but would still be a few caveats to relying on all 3 to deliver consistently in the middle or offer a definite improvement on having Alioia or Sipley there. Alioia is no doubt still on some good coin so additional...

    Silvertails greatest ever whipping boy

    Thought that Paul Stevo made a good contribution at centre during his Manly stint and in that rebuilding phase . Solid and generally a good positional and team player with some quite reasonable all round ability and passing game Didn "t realize that he made that fairly drastic switch from...

    Based on those highlights , looks like Onitoni Large is very confident and capable of playing as a 6 and more then likely to have a fairly quick trajectory through the Manly ranks Think that he is signed for 3 years which should help to keep him longer term and every indication again of a good...

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    Think that i noticed that Dylan Edwards was asking for around the 700 - 750 K for an upgraded contract around mis season or so and with his current S O O rating as a full back could have even expected a bit more .

    Hopeful that Burbo can have a good season and think that there is still a bit of upside to his game Going to need it too for Manly to get up the ranking order a bit

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    Dylan 's manager is apparently asking or expecting one mil plus now and he is a good player but not that good Expectation that D C E may well go around next year in any case . Talk that Joey Walsh is being elevated to Manly Reggies as a 7 once he fully recovers from his recent illness and a...

    Trial Games

    Don 't think that Patolo is eligible for i st grade until mid year or so unless his contract arrangement or status has changed . Looks like some good wraps on him though and maybe only some injury issues that have held him back which he can ideally overcome . Not real confident with James...

    Not a definite requirement but wonder if Onitoni has even a basic kicking game to be suited to a future higher level 6 role . Can 't see him losing his exceptional or above average speed and acceleration ability and providing he can show some reasonable skill level as a 6 and measure up...

    Onitoni Large

    Yeah , don "t watch a lot of Raiders games but accurate call for sure and even in some limited coverage , could see a few deficiencies still in Weekes overall game . Was mainly referring to some improvement in his attacking effectiveness and his natural speed coming to the fore more . Looks...

    Silvertails greatest ever whipping boy

    Brayden Wiliame just had the unfortunate experience of being selected or playing in Manly sides who lost regularly in that particular era Thought quite unfairly of being targeted actually , did have a couple of defensive issues at the time but was no worse then some of the other Manly backs...

    Good player Gary Stevens. Not noted particularly in attack but just a tireless and hard hitting back rower who gained rep honors R I P

    Onitoni Large

    Really hope that Onitoni can kick on and be a real top level back like Koula . Guess just have to be a bit measured in expectations when the instance of Weekes and others is taken into account . Though of course and for whatever reason , Weekes is doing better at the Raiders recently . Still a...

    Onitoni Large

    Might need a poll to gauge what his ceiling may be then

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    Interesting to speculate but prospects in 2027 seems a bit of an open question in terms of playing personal to help matters . Definitely will have the likes of Haumole , Tent, Brooks and Saab on set contracts, Koula on a players option , D C E unlikely to be on the scene , Turbo very likely ...

    Jacob Arthur

    Now that Jamie Humphrys has moved on , not a lot of depth in the halves so Jacob could be thereabouts to cover but really can only see as a 6 . Outside chance that he could adapt to a 13 role but would have to show this fairly early in the trials for instance . Unlikely to develop into a real...

    1986 MANLY

    Guess that it made that early finals knock out loss to the Tigers in 86 even more disappointing taking into account those good wins against the Eels and Dogs during the season proper . Guess there could have been a couple of factors in not lifting or playing to their potential starting the...

    1986 MANLY

    Guess that it was always going to be a bit tough for Manly to take out the Big one that year when the still very strong and really generational level Eels side was still going around and the Dogs of War Bulldog pack were still dominant . Still , thought that the Manly side of that year...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    Can never underestimate Turbo 's ability to boost or influence a game in Manly " favor but somehow is ideally able to pick up his last line of defence at the back ' May not be as important when Manly can outplay a side in general but in the tighter and higher competitive ones , really can not...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Very interesting and well done . Can only be encouraging with virtually all stats heading in the right direction and hopefully a bit more in the offering or the side capable of delivering it . Not saying that an improvement in the missed tackle area can mean the difference with making a top 4...

    DCE to announce retierment

    Seems in essence over time , high performance player in many facets , not so much and at different times in other areas . Hard to replace , without doubt , indispensable [ or part ] into the future and for overall team balance and effectiveness , can't really see that situation .
