    Smart and Savvy Recruitment

    Aren't they all at least 15 years too young for the club's taste? Also, it looks like they run fast and with energy. That is not "The Manly Way".

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Do we have enough data on Belinda Sharpe yet to know how much we hate her?

    [Manly recruitment staff's ears prick up at this.] "Sounds like just the kind of guy we need!"

    Jamal Fogarty

    I think Fogarty would be an excellent replacement for DCE and I'd like him at Manly, but I get the feeling this is all just a charade and he'll stay at the Raiders. People will complain that we bungled the negotiations and showed our hand too early, but really, just like with DCE, Fogarty is...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Every time he steps on the field he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. Every time he gets out of bed he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. We can't keep him in cottonwool forever. But you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with Tom. And if he does go down again, you are right...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Thanks for posting that. He comes across as a great young bloke, smart and articulate, with a genuine love for the Manly club and the players. Obviously not traits we were looking for at the time.

    Was he concussed at the time?

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Try to watch replays of the last two games and you'll see every bad habit and poor option the Manly team has become known for writ large. The points on the ladder don't really reflect how insipid our performances have been. But I think the most depressing part of it is how eerily familiar it...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    To this day, whenever I need a "dead behind the eyes" passport/ID photo taken, I imagine that I'm Trent Barrett. Warm up with some pushups in my undies on the nearest bar, and I'm ready to go.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Is this a rhetorical question? Because, based on our recruitment, the answer is easy: all of them. We want them all.

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    This may be my exasperation and/or desperation speaking, but I don't think there's any point to resting him. Nothing seems to mitigate his knack for picking up an injury, so I'll go the opposite way: if he's available, play him. If he gets hurt (again), he gets hurt (again). If he doesn't...

    Seibold presser ..

    Having him on the field at all is such a roll of the dice these days. You never know how long he might last, so my inclination would be to play him. We need the win, and he's just as likely to hurt himself getting out of bed on the bye weekend as he is during a game. So unless we're going to put...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Wait… he did what? Kudos for his bravery, especially on a team of rainbow-hating Bible bashers like ours. I thought he had a pretty settled life with the wife and kids, but the heart wants what it wants.

    I am certainly no DCE fanboy, and I wish he'd handled the whole situation with a bit more respect for the club and his teammates, but it's a bit of a copout to blame his departure announcement (or non-announcement, or whatever the hell it was) for the drastic drop in form of the team as a whole...

    Ashton Large

    There have been some big calls based on highlight reels over the years, but he really does look great. Strong defence to go with the flashy attack, incredible acceleration, and seems to have an instinctive understanding of the dummy half role. We could definitely use someone like that in the NRL...

    Lehi Hopoate

    One of those rare players who will find a way to impact a game no matter where you put him in the backline, but he's a fullback all the way, I reckon. Longterm, we have to plan around him as our fullback.

    Also, he sucks! Oh, wait… That was the other bloke.

    Seibold presser ..

    I don't know about that. I actually think our only way out of this mess is to have more players of the current generation, not less. We're old, especially in the forwards, and we're used to losing and not putting in the required amount of effort. If any members of our team qualify as...

    MVP: Rd 7 v Dragons

    Seems like an easy one this week, with everyone pretty much in agreement. 3. L'il Hoppa. Best player on the field by quite some margin. 2. TKO. Has been impressive all year, but his stints yesterday were great. 1. Simpkin. He's a real dummy half, maybe not the best in the NRL but definitely the...
