    Massive turning point today

    Aloiai didn't play mate lol I do agree with your sentiment though. I think this a long term side effect of the Trbojevic contracts which have hamstrung us (pun intended). We simply can't afford someone to partner Paseka effectively, and now we've lost him.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    We cannot afford anyone besides geriatric middles, because of Jake and Tom's contracts that have not paid off. We will be too slow there until 2027. In all fairness to Jake, I don't blame him. The rules changed against his game immediately after he re-signed, and it's the failure of the club...

    To the people saying you need an elite halfback to win a comp, remind yourselves of the last halfback not named Cronk, Hughes or Cleary to win the comp. Townsend!!! Anyone who watched last night's game would seriously doubt that person actually has a premiership ring. If the quality is there...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Is this the same Mitchell Moses that the Eels immediately tried to offload by the end of 2018, to keep Corey Norman of all players? Hardly a world-beater then. That's who Brooks had as his only foil for many years; a spoon-winning half, who was told to leave by the garbage 2018 Eels! Moses was...

    Benji Marshall wasn't there in 2014, and didn't play in 2013 alongside Brooks. People say he developed... But could he game manage that well in his later years? They never made the finals with him in that organising position, and he's literally the definition of "eyes-up player", just like DCE...

    Jamal Fogarty

    People very much seem to be underrating him, and the role he will play at Manly. He's not coming to be DCE. He's here to be a cool head, here to help the youngsters, use his strong kicking game, and let Turbo/Brooks/Hopoate play instinctively. Fogarty, if anything, might be trying too hard to...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Does anyone know whether Konz can play lock? Seems a bit strange to have three hookers in the 17, unless they plan on playing one elsewhere. Obviously early days, but I do think Muagututia would make a good lock. He strikes me as a Brandon Smith type of lock/hooker, best suited to coming off the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    For me, Bullemor and Waddell are too similar in role and purpose. Waddell is like Aldi Bullemor to me. Sure, it's got leg speed, is cheaper, and can substitute in the middle or on an edge, but it's just not the same. Probably the hair. I see Navale as quite the point of difference on the other...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    I would be bumping Navale onto the bench in place of Waddell, and swapping Sipley and Brown. I think Navale is capable of stepping up. He's been playing very well in reserve grade, and arguably better than Sipley.

    I agree with you, we don't have enough DCE threads yet.

    Tommy Talau

    Someone (I think in the media because the club is useless with injury updates), indicated a couple of weeks ago, that he had a hamstring tightness setback, that pulled him out of these last two games. He should be back this coming week. I'll be expecting: 1. Hoppa 2. Saab 3. Koula 4. Garrick...

    This could easily be Galvin. That's how far "rookie" can stretch.

    Jamal Fogarty

    Sticky might not be so overly dramatic about keeping Fogarty for two reasons - the two are very close personally, so Sticky does genuinely want the best for him (and can afford this because he's got the Raiders job forever), and because he also has Ethan Sanders, in a similar position to Joey...

    I largely agree but I don't think he can physically walk.

    In all truth... Haumole retired him a couple of years ago.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Remember when there was an apparent divide between DCE and the Trbojevics back after the pride jersey saga? I've long thought that there was more than smoke there. The Turbos very clearly like Seibold significantly, mainly because the four of them are a bunch of nerds, but I was always unsure...

    The Kieran Forum

    This is what I was thinking. Can't have much of a better mentor than DCE, but Foran is certainly up there. He's had a difficult journey too, so would be great for life advice too.
