    Tom Trbojevic is a Legend

    Absolutely. I know it gets said a lot that he lifts the team but often without pinpointing how. If you look at Garrick’s try, the defence was worried about Tom out the back. Then they ran the same shape for Talau’s try and this time he got the ball and threw the catch and pass. Then when Koula...

    How do we unlock Koula?

    Much like the semi final last year, is there a better sight than a crucial Manly try where this guy’s poetic running style is on full show?! Geez he is great to watch in open space.

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    I love that we challenged the high tackle. It was very important in the context of a comeback for Penrith.

    People are pointing to Fa'alogo slipping, etc. and I get that there were mitigating circumstances. I too am frustrated with the lack of common sense taken by the NRL when a player slips into a tackle. But... I think Latrell is a different case because I don't believe he made a genuine attempt...

    All NRL Games [Round 8, 2025]

    Random question - I’m watching Warriors v Knights and Fox have a promo for the Xavier Coates feature. They showed a replay of ‘that try’ again for 1000th time. Is it just me or is not as spectacular as they make out? It’s a damn good finish but I feel like it’s not much better and/or different...

    If anyone watched the Chooks Vs Saints clash, you’ll see the dangers of a mediocre kicking game. The Chooks started almost every set today from the middle of the field, at least 30m out from their own line. Illias really let them down with poor yardage kicks.

    I have a sneaking suspicion the Pride saga and subsequent sacking of Des has a bit to do with Daly’s feelings towards the club. That debacle was one pf our great ‘own goals’, so again, I take your point.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I don’t think ‘telegraphed’ inflates the price. It’s nice to believe that the number crunchers get their value from Rothfield’s column but it’s a bit more complicated than that. I do agree we don’t want to pay overs because he is no spring chicken and he is a slowish half as it is…but we’ll pay...

    You know, I think you present some strong anecdotal evidence and occasional facts and I agree that DCE has given wonderful service to the club over many years. When he announced he was leaving, I was devastated. I don’t believe Fogerty is anywhere near DCE as a footballer. But… DCE didn’t...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    😂 Can I try? 1. I don’t think they did. 2. Because he re-signed under Hasler and Manly made a scapegoat of his good friend. 3. He knew a release would not be forthcoming but as soon as the current deal is up, he’s out!

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I don’t think the paying more for an inferior product (I.e. Fogerty) criticism is fair because I don’t believe Daly signs a deal of any kind at Manly; he wanted out for more than just dollars. He’ll probably get a mil somewhere else anyway but I don’t think Manly were left with a choice. He...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I am interested in understanding your perspective. You are of the opinion that Manly have botched the negotiations and/or didn’t really want to keep Daly? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but if you can answer the following questions, it’ll help me understand: 1. Why did Manly want to move him on...

    Tof Sipley

    You can pass a HIA and be dazed by head knock at the pivotal moment of impact. Concussion is a spectrum and being knocked out is a symptom. Clearly Sipley wasn’t knocked out but a whack to the head with force can stun a person on impact; that doesn’t necessarily mean ongoing symptoms of...

    All NRL Games [Round 8, 2025]

    Brisbane are to blame for this second half. In the first half, they were combating Canterbury’s line speed but running into the teeth of the defence and winning contact and a quick play-the-ball, that set up the rest of the set. In the second half, they’ve taken their foot off the pedal and...

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

    Saab is pretty ordinary anyway. He helps us score points when Tommy makes his sweeps down the right edge. Everything else he does in the game is mediocre.

    Yep, I think you make some valid points here.

    Not an attack on you but I recall Schuster being a big favourite of yours and I know you blame the club for his predicament, but I think you have to concede that there is a big enough sample size to suggest that no one can truly know what will happen with untried rookies. Jake Clifford was...

    2026 Captain

    I think Jake is the obvious choice. Sure, his game has regressed but he did captain NSW last year to a series win. He didn’t get a heap of game time but by all accounts he was inspirational. Teams with halfbacks as captains kinda kill two birds with one stone, because the 7 is largely...

    Why they ever moved Terry Lamb on, I’ll never know 😂

    Not to mention we don't even know if they'll end up being very good. We've had some media puff pieces and already we're assuming he is the second coming of Jesus.
