    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Simpkins was great; GCKT not up to first grade standard. Just use Jazz at hooker if Simpkins needs a breather. Jazz was very good at 13 also, lot more energy and did well as the link man.

    Caleb Navale

    Much better value than Waddell; is not ill disciplined and didn’t make any mistakes and made his tackles. Our defence overall was so much better because we had a more mobile pack of forwards. Simpkin was outstanding and needs to play big minutes if we are to threaten the better teams.

    Trial V Wabbits

    Agree James looked more mobile today. Also think Simpkins showed why needs to be our dummy half; crisp passing and a clever try and I thought he defended well too.

    Trial V Wabbits

    Not really impressed by Arthur; what is it with the nothing last tackle kicks

    Siua Taukeiaho Signs

    I read that Taukeiaho has been a mentor in the past to May, so if he can get him to Manly will make his signing worthwhile. Otherwise he is another in the long line of over the hill signings that will not take us to the next level.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    According to zero tackle, he is meant to be a development player in 2025 and join our top 30 in 2026

    Great season- bad game

    I get that each club has a leadership group or a senior playing group that sets the standard. But you can’t have players like Croker and Aloai that don’t even justify being in the team. We haven’t addressed the dummy half role since the demise of Manase and the defence has been bad all year and...

    So far off the pace

    When Roosters can replace Brandon Smith with Connor Watson, then you can see how far off the mark we are. We don’t have 1 decent 9 in the club, let alone missing fit fast forwards. Unfortunately the comp is geared to Penrith, Storm and Roosters, and we won’t compete unless we get an owner with...

    2024 FINALS: [All Games: Week 1]

    Well deserved by the Sharks; hopefully can keep it going and beat these cheating Storm

    2024 FINALS: [All Games: Week 1]

    I’d rather be able to train in their ability to hold down the opposition and never get penalised. I hate them more than the Dogs, and that’s saying something.

    Go On Record Manly vs Dogs Week 1 finals score

    I think Bulldogs win for a few reasons; they were missing Crichton and we had a fit Turbo last time. We did lead comfortably in the second half, but the game turned on DCEs 40/20. Always hard to beat the same team in a rematch given they only played a fortnight ago. Can’t predict the score. P.S...

    Pre-Game Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    If you compare the respective spines you can understand why, even if Humphreys is a late switch for Lawton.

    Women's Origin game 2

    The only reason NSW started laying on the player because they could see Sharpe refused to penalise QLD. Yet somehow the only inside the 10 penalty she could find in the second half was to QLD, which lead to their try. Of course it has to go to a decider in the first ever 3 match series when the...

    Women's Origin game 2

    The referee has been pathetic; how did the woman who pulled the players hair not go to the bin? Let alone the blatant flops and holding down by QLD.

    Croker

    If that were true it says more about performances of the rest of the team. I’d love to know what Ennis is doing, because I don’t see any improvement in our dummy half creativity from any of the hookers we’ve tried.

    Kaeo Weekes

    Don’t think winning 1 premiership with a star studded Roosters team over 20 years ago qualifies as a great coach. Aside from the year Canberra was unlucky a few years ago, his other teams like Parra and Cronulla didn’t threaten.

    Turbos D looks down on past?

    I was at Brookvale the day we played Parra in 83 and we were soundly beaten in the battle of the top 2 teams. Gibbsy played reserve grade that day and had a blinder but still couldn’t crack a spot back in first grade before he chose to retire. He was my favourite player growing up, had lightning...

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    I listened to Annesley trying to justify the non awarding of the penalty try to the Warriors when DWZ was taken in mid air then dropped the ball as he tried to put it over the try line. As if the try wouldn’t have been scored without the illegal tackle, let alone no sin bin for a professional...

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

    Just because he doesn’t miss a tackle doesn’t mean he’s not a weak link in defence. He is too slow around the ruck.. we should have had our starting props on at that point.
