Lodge, you Monster
Certainly taken on a merry go round type saga but guess all that really matters now revolves around if he is motivated or capable enough to play some decent level footy again . Maybe not that encouraging with some of his late season form in 24 and injury concerns but surely again , onus on him...- manly al

Club News 2025
Actually, more concerned with the other prop "s input . Bully can do some real good things but not a starting prop to try and get some ascendancy in the ruck area . Jake, Mr Reliable there and very solid but not much more Alioia , the majority of the time injured or...- manly al

Is the comp more even in 2025
Could well be a relatively even comp this season and especially if the Tigers can step up a bit . Not sure with the Warriors and the loss of Johnson and A F B but Fisher - Harris is a big in Panthers maybe down a notch or so , bit unknown with the Eels . Some differences with the Manly 2011...- manly al

Club News 2025
Haumole is a heavily marked player and has been for a while so unless there has previously been some good go forward , not that easy to always bust through a defence . Same with late switches , usually off D C E , can not be that that deep and mainly depending on an oppositions defence being...- manly al

Trial V Wabbits
Think the halves combo of Matterson and Arthur is interesting . Had the impression that Matterson not really that suited to a 6 role but not a bad turn of speed and general footy awareness , Maybe has had a good off season and an opportunity to show a bit of versatility and playing ability...- manly al

The Daly Cherrygraph
Actually D C E turns 36 quite soon but just based on his prevailing general fitness and still no doubt footy ability , no reason why he can not keep producing top level footy . Would have generally preferred him to opt out of rep footy but if it can act as some extra motivation and in the...- manly al

First TLT, whats your predicted team?
Was a backrower , Max [ i think ] Haley who looked to be going O K at Blacktown last season but maybe has not moved to the Manly grouping . Then Manly recruiting the likes of Patolo and Chee Kam . Apparently Schoupp wearing 13 in that recent hit out against the Dragons and maybe playing more...- manly al

The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.
That should have been 8 into 7 backline positioning of course . Manly backline can be good but not that good down one back position- manly al

The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.
No question still that the Manly backs are one of the better groupings going around but still have to try and accommodate the 7 into 6 backline placements and still mainly revolving around the Lehi - Talau option Most likely at this stage , Lehi slotting in i st up somewhere . Wish it was...- manly al

Trial Games
Well , can only hope so .. Looks like Gutho was quite proactive and motivating his charges well but they are without Hunt now also . Probably just a bit more vigorous then a game of touch footy or Oz tag and think that i did notice Seibs was going to rest quite a few of the bigger guns until...- manly al

Trial Games
Not too sure who actually was in the Manly squad for this hit out but do not like the or some of the reports of the Dragons getting the better of the contest . Only a basic hit out of course but recall last season , Dragon coach Flanaghan being quite impressed with the Manly effort and rating...- manly al

That would be interesting if he had some time in the back row or however the formations are in this type of a hit out- manly al

Lodge, you Monster
Can "t see any real downsides with this new arrangement . Not much different really with Arron Woods previous contract deal and relative connection with the main squad . Going to be a pretty fair Manly reserve grade pack if Lodge can find a bit of form and guys like James and Matterson can...- manly al

The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz
Well , will just have to wait and see and then what position the coaching staff thinks he can offer the most value . Talk that he can play or be considered in the backrow or even as a back up 9 but would think prop with the present squad make up and now with Alioia 's reported recent injury [...- manly al

The Bully files
Had the notion that Bully could develop into an effective edge type player and was tried there in some of his early appearances for Manly a few seasons ago . Not a worst option type player there but just based on his attacking style and hole running or attacking ability , much more suited to...- manly al

The Bully files
Would probably have to rate as one of the better finishing props going around , seems to have found that helpful knack of timing his runs with some quick foot work to gain some effective go forward . Not too sure that i have noticed him break any i st up tackles all that often but as long he is...- manly al

Silvertails greatest ever whipping boy
Think that Lewis Brown was playing for the Panthers just prior to coming to Manly Could be wrong but think that he also played as a hooker briefly apart from the back row and very occasional fill in centre for Manly . Jason King would hardly or surely hardly rate as a liability during his...- manly al
