    Signings for 2018

    I'd like to see Hastings and Green in the 6 and 9. Don't really know which way I prefer it but I think Hastings offers more at both positions than is currently being dished up. That would mean you have to figure out which player you like more, Api or Green. I'd suggest Green is a more solid...

    That is actually a pretty good point. We need that workhorse second rower on his shoulder to protect him. Someone that plays 80mins and racks up 40+ tackles a game. Not sure who you could get on the market for that. Sirro seems to be more of an attacking player so Winterstein would be the...

    Not a high standard was set thought. He also gave up points rushing out of the line when it wasn't on. I don't have great faith in him but he is still our best option in the second row.

    Sorry but I strongly disagree. Api has been horrible outside of very good effort. His service is a disaster and killed multiple efforts on Saturday. Even the commentary team made note of it multiple times. Api is no where near our top 3 players. Hastings played reserve grade last year due to...

    Review

    Just throwing my opinion out there on how each player has performed over the course of the year so far. I am sure that many will disagree on some points but hey, that's what this place is for after all. Running through the team list: 1. T. Trbojevic - Tom is brilliant. He didn't have his best...

    Moses to parra

    If I was Cleary I would want Moses gone if he has asked for the release. If he wants to go to Parra do a deal and clean swap him for Gutho. Get someone in who shows heart and ditch the bloke who wants out. Moses is built like a twig and is one big hit away from injury.

    Api a chance for Origin selection

    So the player that many were saying three weeks ago should be dropped from the team now should be picked for SOO? Is NSW in that bad a situation at hooker? Api has improved that past three weeks but that does not mean he is up to SOO. He still misses far too many tackles and his service (whilst...

    Cooper Cronk off to Sydney- Big 3 is no more!

    Looking at the Sydney clubs halves combos I suggest in order: 1. Dogs 2. Wests 3. Parra A potential left field option would be the Sharks but I just don't see them having the cap space to do it. Noting that Reynolds is off contract I would think the dogs would be favorites. They have no...

    Make the 8 is trent safe

    I would argue he needs to improve on last year and make the finals in 2018 to keep his job. Otherwise the club will move on. The finals are not the be all and end all this season. They would be a bonus but I would suggest he stays if he finished 10th or above.

    Winterstein most improved

    The second row pairing are solid and have really improved our defensive line. I would be very hesitant to upset that. With Lussick coming back I'd drop Brown and leave Kapow in the front row. He has been much better in middle rather than the edges. Brown / Hastings are surplus right now. I...

    Make the 8 is trent safe

    I don't agree that he needs to make the 8 to keep his job. The team is still young and the depth isn't there that a couple of injuries could skittle the season. I think if he can maintain the commitment from the players and compete week in, week out, he will be there next year. If he wants to...

    Why BK's pass was so good

    Whilst this is positive that they have this sort of connection already, I kind of wish that it was a designed play as it would mean the coaching staff showed real imagination haha! I guess that was too much to hope for.... Still, bloody good play by those two.

    Our Origin Contenders

    Honestly, I would suggest that Tom is one of maybe 6 outside backs in contention for the 5 spots up for grabs so he is a chance, but may still miss out. Jake I think will get over looked this year as the selectors tend to have their pets and they will stick with the status quo. Walker will be...

    Why BK's pass was so good

    I liked the deception that was involved (which I assume was deliberate). DCE was in the back of the play and seemed to direct BK for a hit-up while he was directing the forwards around him. It drew the roosters defensive line in and opened a huge gap for Walker to exploit. I would be very...

    Next week Dragons (Pre-Game Discussion)

    Noting that Lussick is likely available this week I would have to go with this a my picks: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Dylan Walker 4. Brian Kelly 5. Akuila Uate 6. Blake Green 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Brenton Lawrence 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Martin Taupau 11. Frank Winterstein 12. Curtis...

    Taniela Paseka

    So long as he is on a 1-2 year deal for little money I'd agree he is low risk. I would suggest the club has backed our coaching staff over the Tigers staff (which isn't a huge leap of faith) to get his defensive effort and technique sorted. My suggestion, tell him to follow Jake around and do...

    Taniela Paseka

    I have a solution! We adopt the ground breaking Parra substitution method. If he takes a hit-up on the 3/4th tackle of every set then lays down holding his head we can sub him off for free for a head check. Then clear him to come back on when we have the ball next. See, that Brad Arthur truly...

    5 fullbacks for SOO ?

    IFthe team was truly selected on current form and not some "yes, but SOO is what he is made for. Ignore his club form" set of standard, then T. Turbo has to be THE in form fullback in the competition. Whilst I am bias towards Manly players, can anyone honestly name a fullback who is performing...

    Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 5, 2017]

    I own up when I'm wrong. I was vocal about the size (or lack thereof) last week against the Dogs. Trent and the pack proved me wrong so a tip of the hat to them. I would love to see them back that performance up with more of the same this Friday.
