    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Hi Jo Glad you are back positing and keeping us informed about the Juniors with your inside knowledge. I note there are 37 players you have listed in the squad at the moment. Do you know many will that be 'culled to' before the season starts? And, if they do get 'culled' from Jersey Flegg, are...

    2023 Pacific Championship

    It was just one of those days, like Sea Eagles beating Melbourne 40 - 0. It happens when one team is really ‘on’ and another ‘not so’. With the level of competition and the talent missing, albeit lots from both sides missing, the result probably would have been reversed, however, all credit to...

    Addin Fonua-Blake

    In my dreams I hope ADF remembers and cherishes how the Sea Eagles released him on compassionate grounds, as opposed to the Dragons, who basically ‘sacked him’. With the Sea Eagles potentially releasing so many props, is there a potential ‘feel good’ story there? Lodge, AFB, Jake and Paseka in...

    Oshay on the move?

    The Mole is usually right more often than wrong with his rumours. I’m not disappointed if Aloiai leaves, and wish him good luck if he does so. On his day, he’s actually a very good player, however, those days are far, and unfortunately, few between. Maybe Seibs likes what he sees in Navale and...

    [Resurrected] Lachlan Croker

    He’s very underrated by some here and I think Ennis may help improve his game with some niggle

    The Penn Ownership

    Love them or hate them, without the Penn family our club would basically be ‘Kaput’. They have invested millions, and yes, they’ve made millions from the sale of the club premises, however, that’s just purely a business decision and within their rights to do so. Sure, Scott is not like a Nic...

    The Haumole Bible.

    Haumole's second 'family', the Fainu's, are now all over at the Tigpies, and if you saw how emotional Haumole was when he made the speech on the presentation of Samuela's debit jersey, I think they are pretty damn close. Given those circumstances, any employer would be 'jittery' about the...

    Nathan Brown

    I’m all in on signing Brown. I want some mongrel in our pack where other teams know that when they are playing Manly they are going to really feel it and actually do not like playing us. It’s the old ‘Oh damn, this isn’t going to be good’ scenario. We already have Jake, who we know hits harder...

    Josh Addo-Carr and Ryan Matterson swap

    I just love the rumours. The Kennel would be going crazy. Maybe JAC is out of favour with Gould. However, yeah, no, I can’t see it happening. Why would Eels swap Matterson for a winger? They’d have an amazing backline and finishers.

    Kaeo Weekes

    Good slick to Kaeo. He has immense talent and I hope he achieves his goals at the Raiders.

    Flipping the 'forwards win matches' mantra in 2024

    I think if you look back at those days of the early 80's, of Manly v Parra, Manly had by far the best forwards in the comp and all of them played SOO or for Australia, whereas Parra, apart from Price, were toilers and they basically had 5 of the Australian back line. Gibson's philosophy at...

    Our 'new era' logo is not new

    I don’t mind it. It’s just a logo and I don’t think they spent much on it, given it’s just and old logo and has been changed from left to right. For all the amateur or professional designers out there, I challenge you come up with something better, and post it. It could be interesting to see ideas.

    Referendum

    This referendum is an interesting one. About half my extended family are claiming they'll be voting YES, while the other half claim they'll be voting NO. Those who claim to be voting YES, are either really passionate about it or think it's the right thing to do. Those who claim to be voting...

    Who was the often maligned NRL star who didn’t turn up to a tough pre season training session with a well known sportsman?

    Come on Bulldog (Daily Telegraph), name him, as it leaves it open to so much conjecture. I just hope it wasn’t who I think it may have been, and hopefully not one of ours.

    Going to Vegas

    It will take the players at least 5 days to get their sleeping patterns back in to proper sync on return to Aus. If the NRL draw makes them each play one of the other teams travelling after the bye, and then the other the week later, it should be okay, as they’ll be on a an even health situation.

    Manly v Des.

    I think you may have a short memory Swoop, as Manly certainly doesn’t fit the mould you are referring to, when he first was in charge. If Des thinks he has a case, then he’s entitled to sue, just as everyone is who believes they were wrongfully dismissed. Whether any of us agree with it or not...

    Rugby league broadcaster Barry Ross passes away

    Rex and Barry were great TV viewing in the 70's. Rex gave Barry heaps and so much crap went down with Rex, because most of the Channel 7 production team couldn't stand him. I am certain the set collapsing on him was a set up, however, I can't be sure, whereas, I do know the Sound Manager...

    2023 Pacific Championship

    It's all just about the money from and administrator's viewpoint, however, I am sure the guys love being selected to represent their nation and it's a sense of pride and it looks good on their resume when looking for a pay rise. As for PNG as the next team, it has to be so, as it's their...

    Woods Stayski

    That’s a good perspective, however, who do you have in mind? We have lost four of our junior props with apparently massive potential. I understand Des, has a philosophy that if you think you have enough props, sign another one, and while some may say Des is past it, just look at prop injuries...
