    Defence

    Some encouragement ongoing in that on a few occasions last season and particularly again in games early on against the Storm , Roosters and Panthers , Manly 's overall defence was of a real good standard . Maintaining that on a consistent basis has been the real problem. Also that late season...

    Round 1 side , your best guess

    Probably more inclined to include Saab for a wing spot if he is again running quite freely , despite Faulalo showing some good touches in the trials and with Lehi apparently slotted in for one wing spot Also could be a better option to go with Alioia on the bench as a prop option with Bully...

    Trial V Panthers

    Definitely have to bring Large on as best and soon as possible , looks to have the makings of a real good footy player Shame that Joey Walsh has not been able to play any footy to date but sure that there are still high hopes for him as well . Delicate timing if both may seem up to top...

    Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack

    Looks like Jake will be used similar to recent seasons , starting as a 13 then some big minutes at prop and every reason again , to expect again a generally very valuable input in defence with the also generally accepted limitations attacking wise . More concerned who will take over at 13...

    Trial V Panthers

    Should be mainly seen in the context of a trial but just couldn "t control the play sufficiently for extended periods apart from putting themselves under almost constant pressure . Some questionable ref calls hardly helped but again, just could not settle down in general . Certainly big...

    Trial V Panthers

    Arthur and Matterson starting as halfs again but not a lot of depth there apart from the younger brigade hopefully coming on well soon . Understandable Manly apparently showing some interest in Volkman at one stage but now Wakeman on the scene again . Patolo looks like getting some better...

    Burbo to lock?

    Whole previous career has been either edge or centre and best attribute is probably his hole running ability and positioning and doubt a 13 role is going to maximize or suit his general playing style and capabilities . Showed some good maturity and experience passing at an opportune time to...

    Bench for 2025

    Is going to be interesting . Sure that selecting Tevaga as the starting 9 this week would indicate that he is going to be in a game day 17 [ all fit ] , probably bench with Simpkin starting . Good case for Tevaga to start at 9 when there would be a bit more intensity but would think a...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Gets a little technical but guess Manly would still be obliged to that pay out arrangement to the Shu even if he does opt out of his current Souths deal or does not comply with it and with him being a free agent when he did leave Manly N R L would presumably or ideally have some overarching...

    The V'Landy's era .. Pass or fail poll

    Has he still maintained his horse racing admin duties as well since he took on the head of the N R L If so , even more credit to his largely very successful role with the footy to date . Probably overseeing and deftly managing the Covid challenge ,the most notable achievement Always seems to...

    Jacob Sykes

    Didn 't see Sykes play the other night but pleased that he apparently had a good dig and went O K Always had a good work ethic but last season , form seemed to drop off a bit. Recall him playing on an edge for a brief time previously but not really noted for his general mobility Anyway good...

    Trial V Wabbits

    Waddell had some involvement as well . Predictable to a point and can never expect world beating efforts but quite reliable and doesn 't seem to shirk the hard going . Seibs looks to have a quite favorable take on him but no assurance of course that he would be an automatic selection in a game...

    Trial V Wabbits

    Not in the short term [ Patolo in the 17 ] but does look to have the makings of a strong middle forward . Just a bonus also that he can apparently play on an edge So with more match fitness and getting into the grind again , good expectations [ as opposed to great ] that he could...

    Navren Willett

    Just recall highlights of Willett striding away for tries in the lower grades last season and easily pulling away from opposition chases . Bit hard to gauge his general speed rating i guess until he is pitted against higher level competition but sound debut and looks like an...

    Jacob Arthur

    Similar take . Very keen to see how Walsh can go or hopefully progress well A S A P

    Trial V Wabbits

    Actually thought that James did quite well also with some of his runs and general play . Looks fitter and more focussed then last season

    Trial V Wabbits

    Real positive with Taukeiaho going particularly well and with the uncertainty of Alioia concerning injury, form and even availability . Simpkin very tidy and busy and that good turn of pace and deception for that try [ surprised me a bit ] Navale showed some good touches and involvement , form...

    Honouring contracts ..

    Would think that Manly are in not too bad a place in relation to player connection and commitment . Haumole , Saab and Paseka signed real long term now . Koula , Garrick, Brooks on longer term deals or for a while yet . Turbo , Jake and Burbo , general long term commitments as well as D C E...

    2025 Bolter

    Might become a bit more noticeable after a couple of trial hit outs for likely bolters but would be very helpful or appealing for bolters to emerge at 9 and 13 . Large does look very promising . Also had a good prospect previously in Latu Fainu and that obviously did not quite work...

    Honouring contracts ..

    Probably the difference for some time now and with some contracts is the number of options and caveats that are included , usually in the players favor or at the instigation of player managers . So a bit of a contrast to past eras but Beaver Menzies did show some serious loyalty to Manly in...
