    2026 recruitment & retention

    Think that a big factor still has to be just how much value for money clubs can get from their highest paid or premium level type players . Seems to be a given for instance in the Storm's case with Munster , Hughes , Grant and Pappy regularly performing to a high level and a relative good...

    Post-Game Discussion Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Lackluster attack certainly did not help and Sharks hardly played that well either but at least a good effort defensively in the middle in the main containing a fairly solid and robust Sharks pack . Some of the broken field defence hardly ideal though .and a few too many off loads , a real...

    Media will always speculate i guess until a subject fades into a bit of insignificance

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Maybe at year's beginning or before the season started and Manly had an able replacement but really only trying to suggest the most helpful ways now to settle things down and not affect the team 's ability to perform as best as possible ongoing . Still think that it more down to D C E for...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Might be better if D C E does not disclose where he is likely [ or definitely ] heading until seasons end . And if he has already committed , probably will just cause even more consternation on the background and controversial aspects to his publicly stated positions if it is disclosed...

    [Resurrected] The need for change thanks to Concussion.

    R L is certainly not the only code having to come to terms with concussion issues , seems even more of an issue with A F L at the present time . Also seems to relate to the same factors causing more problems for some time now , slightly bigger , stronger , more fitness enhanced players ...

    Tommy Talau

    One tough hombre for sure . Was starting to lose a bit of ommp and resilience the last couple of seasons of his career in around 81 , 82 but after almost 10 seasons being one of the real hard men at A R L level for Manly and on the international stage at times , little wonder Outstanding...

    Calls For An Indigenous Australian International Team

    Nothing wrong with innovative suggestions but this one would just seem to have too many less then favorable aspects . Let alone the always vexing issue on what should actually constitute an indigenous background or eligibility . As has been mentioned , already have the annual Maori...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Looks more likely now bringing in Fogarty , Overlooked there was still another Raiders halves prospect out injured at present and apparently , Raiders not that keen on offering Fogarty more then a one year deal Probably are going to need some of the saving on D C E "s contract to upgrade...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Probably not too far off the mark but in terms of the initial stages , 100 % sure that the initial offer to both D C E and Foz was 750 K ; [ ironically what Manly have offered D C E now ] and D C E was more then prepared to accept that initial offer in late 2015 . But Foz apparently didn 't...

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Going to have to do much better defensively against the Sharks when compared with that effort the last time they played them at the end of last season , let alone that below par effort against the Storm last Sunday . Admittedly , many results and form levels all over the place so far this season...

    Burbo to lock?

    Concede that he just generally rates on the average or just above average at times level on N R L standards but really not much else on offer right now . Middles or lack of enough consistency and ability there , the real problem at the moment

    Seibold Ball

    Guess that is the thing also , if the Penns did ever consider selling their ownership stake in Manly, how the other stakeholders with the Manly footy club and those pair that bought a 15 % component many years ago now , would or would not be impacted . Presume they would still be entitled to...

    Seibold Ball

    Apparently requires around the 22 mil figure [could even be a bit more now ] at a bare minimum to operate an N R L franchise . Really not sure how much would be received or accrued for Manly from gate takings , memberships , sponsorships and so on and with the current cap at 11 , 3 mil ...

    Seibold Ball

    Certainly some very interesting insights there Guess that even if it only results in say a 5 % competitive [ and that is just a speculative take ] advantage and in the recovery and preparation areas , can make a real difference on a season "s prospects . Probably was more trying to emphasise...

    Burbo to lock?

    Really can not see Burbo ever transitioning to a 13 . Quite a respectable game again yesterday on an edge . Seems to have always had that problem of hanging a bit back defensively a bit wider of the ruck and not committing sufficiently or early enough especially against a more nimble opponent...

    Seibold Ball

    Not too sure how good or not Dymock is but biggest problem defensively at present , just don 't have the cattle in certain positions to cope when under sustained pressure or minimizing bad reads . As long as Arthur senior would not destabilise the joint to any extent , maybe not the worst...

    Seibold Ball

    Storm to their credit have seemed to have done quite well with money ball or initial money ball acquisitions for some time now and particularly in recent times with their backrow and outside backs . Plus Bellemy 's ability to somehow get the best out of them and over tome now also . Not too...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Don 't think it really matters again what D C E "s future intentions are , just as long as his full focus is to try his best to help Manly be as competitive as possible for the remainder of the season

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Pretty sure at least twice left his wing as a wrong option and on another occasion a bit slow to react defensively near the line , Still has good attacking ability and think his best position is at full back by far but of course already have some very capable players to cover there
