    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Yep, game changes significantly without the sin bin, or even without the obstruction penalty. Ideally someone can really break through this year in the starting front row role in Tent's absence. Hopefully he returns in 2026 alongside a true partner in the prop rotation. Anyone see how Navale...

    Suspected Achilles... This guy can never get a clean run can be?

    2025 Rumoured and confirmed signings (NON-DISCUSSION THREAD).

    Not sure whether to put this here... SHOOSH Which million-dollar forward (it’s not hard to guess who) is fighting to save his career at an NRL club after a sluggish start to the season? He is free to negotiate with rival clubs from November but will be offered an early release unless his form...

    Yet again, the $150k number has been pulled from thin air by the Daily Telecrap. Some of their journalists like Dean Ritchie were good enough not to disclose it, so another one went ahead and made it up. We could only offer a min wage spot. Souths offered a much better deal from what I've...

    Hooker Recruitment

    By three nines in the 30, those would be Croker, Simpkin and Muagututia. Muagututia isn't quite there yet, so I wouldn't mind another hooker, maybe with the versatility to play lock. Your wish is answered, and early too, Zaidas is making his NSW cup debut in the #14 on Sunday. Hope he does well.

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    I'd be playing big Ray Ray over Faulalo. Have more confidence in him coming out of our own end. Their pack outdoes us... We need to find a point of difference.

    2026 Penrith Approach?

    Laiafi has the potential to be an AFB, Payne Haas type player. Question is whether he has the attitude for it. Haas became an NRL regular under Seibold at a young age, so he would know what he's looking for. As for Olakau'atu, I could see him becoming a No. 13 later in his career, when he...

    Hooker Recruitment

    In total, Seibold has gone hard for Mozer, Paix, Simpkin (we got him), Brailey, and now Starling, since the back end of 2023. That's also when Croker started having some issues. I think the increase in tempo shows Croker's body might be breaking down. We signed Simpkin at the point when we...

    Jamie Humphreys

    This number isn't true. It was plucked out of thin air by Buzz Rothfield. Yet again, Mestrov confirmed that Souths offered him coin that we could not match. Beyond the point of us losing him we only signed Tevaga and Taukeiaho, both on min-wage contract spots. We literally could not offer him...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Sipley is unsigned for 2026, and I suspect we won't be resigning him, he would be a massive upgrade, and probably on similar coin at this stage in his career.

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Brown and Talau will almost certainly come in, making the bench: 14. Simpkin 16. Bullemor 18. Talau 21. Brown That's a very very light bench. Hence, if those two come in, they'll probably switch Simpkin and Tevaga, so that the bench is: 9. Tevaga 16. Bullemor 18. Talau 21. Brown The numbers...

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    I would love to see: 1. Turbo 2. Saab 3. Hopoate 4. Garrick 5. Koula 6. Brooks 7. DCE 8. Paseka 9. Simpkin 10. Taukeiaho 11. Olakau'atu 12. Burbo 13. Jake (hope he's fitter this week...) 14. Talau 15. Tevaga 16. Bullemor 17. Brown I think Koula would have the greatest confidence to burn...

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

    Part of the reason we lost on Friday was because we didn't respect the Warriors, errors leading to poor position, not getting into the arm wrestle, etc. What message would it send to the Raiders if we rested our best player against them? They would be absolutely filthy, and ready to tear in...

    Line speed and ruck area

    Croker is often the one leading the charge with regards to line speed. It's an underrated part of his game, and I always notice we lack it particularly when he is unavailable. I noticed it frequently when we had Simpkin at #9 last year too. We should be a team able to sustain a big pack, with...

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    DCE and Turbo did not manage that game whatsoever. I have a nagging feeling that DCE and Turbo ignored the game plan completely. I remember DCE saying something like in an pre-match media interview last year that "whenever we have executed Seibold's game plan, we have won", at whatever point...

    Mate, how about you consolidate your thoughts in a single post instead of bringing up literally every single different thread to enhance your negative, uninformative viewpoints? It's honestly verging on spam across all these threads.

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    Throwing it around with no shape or straight running has really cost us this game. Errors have left us completely gassed.

    Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    All have fair points about Faulalo. I'll reserve my judgement until after the game. Hope he plays well. When Hoppa debuted, there was some conjecture about playing him at centre, and moving Garrick to fullback. Hoppa has previously been playing at centre well in NSW cup. Adding onto that, there...

    Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    He was absolutely folded by the Roosters in his second game in first grade last year. Trial form does not dictate NRL form. Especially when his opposition in that trial was reserve graders.
