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

    Guess that the main priority after yesterday 's disappointment and being generally outplayed has to be ,what can be realistically fixed as soon as possible. Alioia has shown improvement in the early stages this season so hopefully is available again to start , Taukeiaho maybe better off the...

    How do we unlock Koula?

    Koula apparently has a player option in his favor in 27 and doubt if he would be that keen to stick around if he is mainly considered as a winger or even bench option . Maybe or his family still have some interest in diverting to R U and could only see it as a major loss to Manly if that...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Guess that it could be helpful for his development or preparation for Walsh to playing some N S W cup this season but looks like Wakeman and Arthur are going not too bad as halves there at present Nevertheless and especially for getting a harder edge defensively , would think an advantage...

    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    If Manly "s defence is switched on , definitely have the attack to get the job done Know that Pappy is a quality player but good opportunity for Lehi to step up if he can inject himself to best effect

    How do we unlock Koula?

    Koula despite his undoubted ability can only do so much to utilize this to best effect . Getting better opportunities is hardly down to him , good indication last week what he is capable of when he is given even half a chance so will just have to rely on more of that . And however it can be on...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Think the point has already been made and hardly any merit in trying to sign Fogarty above what he is currently valued at that 650 K range .and in all likelihood the figure that the Raiders will stick to in re signing him soon And despite the good range of attributes that Fogarty does have ...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Just not sure what is going on with Bully, Did hear one report a couple of weeks ago that Manly were in the process of [ or trying ] re signing him . Should be fairly obvious that his form level has been quite impressive for a while now so would assume that any outside interest would have...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    That "s interesting , so essentially Taukeiaho and most likely Sipley in for Paseka and Alioia Koula and Faulalo in for Talau and Ray Ray . Jazz in for the Lawman , Simpkin for Gordy . Storm a bit off their game in the early stages last season. Presume the Storm are the favorites with the...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Presume there is still a top or a top 30 spot -_ spots available and for Patolo if he can keep his improvement going and to be considered longer term . Think that Sipps has knuckled down reasonably well the past couple of seasons , then guys like Faulalo , Schoupp , Arthur definitely offering...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Bit more of a demanding role defensively for Lehi as a 6 but has seemed quite reliable at one or on the wing so most likely well within his capability playing as a 6 . Natural ball player and good attacking instincts and ability so definitely no problem there . Kicking wise , not so sure but...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Hard to say how this one may go , tend to think that Manly can be quite competitive , although Storm obviously not at that stage of being there for the taking , despite some apparent recent patchy form . So many other factors usually at play also like ref "s calls and general rub of the...

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    Also not sure what to make of the suggestion that the club with mutual agreement was going to wait until round 6 or so to see how D C E was travelling and try to come to some arrangement then . Or whether that was before D C E apparently told the club in Dec or so that he would not be at...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Just find it surprising that D C E was preferring to leave the club for 24 and 25 and when he was apparently still on a one mil K Manly contract . Could not have been not that much more on offer elsewhere unless there were some other inducements . Just the question on whether he is signed...

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    Mestrov opting out of his planned N R L 360 appearance last night should set the tone on how things should proceed ongoing and trying to dial down the temperature to a more sensible level Surely that most or all of the detail or purported detail or versions and of any general interest has...

    2026 halves plan

    Some of those suggestions naturally would be based on the proviso of Brooks reverting to 7 for 26

    2026 halves plan

    Looking more unlikely for Fogarty to take up any Manly offer . Know that Arthur has played the occasional game at 6 for Manly but not sure if he would be the answer there however would be more suited then Turbo . Talau had that bit of a brief stint there just after mid season last...

    2026 halves plan

    That "s the way it could be heading and only watch highlights with his play but does not seem to lack general speed once he winds up a bit . Maybe will not develop into a Yeo type 13 but could have the credentials to do a reasonable job there Have Navale who looks like coming on well and may...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    Not too sure whether it was D C E being so long in a Manly jersey now or just going into a total support Manly mode but personally just did not register associating D C E with any off field issues or past week antics yesterday when he was playing .Probably a combination of both ...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

    Scoreline probably a fair indication of the difference between the sides , even allowing for the disallowed Eels tries as Manly pretty much bombed a couple . Maybe not ideal conditions for open footy but really do not go for the more one out plays for the mid range set options when spreading...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Don 't think it really matters in terms of Humphreys situation , whatever range of reasons or main reason, he or his management decided to move on towards the latter stages of last season . D C E was still contracted for season 25 and another year or expectation of being mainly at Blacktown...
