    The Trbojevic era is over

    I totally agree. It was obvious the game plan was to shift the ball wide and Newcastle came alive the week before with the same strategy in the 2nd half. The only way to stop those shifts from being effective is with line speed in the middle (to shut the play down before it gets to the edge) and...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Yeah but if you read the thread, people were suggesting Ennis could be the next head coach, hence my post.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Mick Ennis was asked at halftime what was wrong with Manly's defence and he couldn't string a sentence together. You could tell he didn't really know or understand the problem but also had to conceive of an answer and he couldn't come up with one. He's not a head coach. It was clear that our...

    Aloiai Gone

    It’s been a pretty bloody ordinary contribution from Oshay to be honest. His first season was peppered with ill discipline; be it suspensions or dumb penalties. Then he sorted his discipline out and started getting injuries. Then he played chief agitator in the Pride saga, then went on a stretch...

    All of the props that played games have contributed more.

    Our hooker for 2026

    I think the fact the Dogs are moving on from Mahoney speaks volumes. That he was once their captain adds another layer of subtext. That they’re on top of the table and flying adds a third. That Gus keeps the players he really wants, adds a fourth. We keep hearing it’s cap related, but he’s only...

    Passion for the club

    I respect people’s take on things but I don’t feel it’s that dire. I think we are just frustrated with the way Manly tease supporters with occasional big wins against decent opposition, only to turn around and lose to the cellar dwellers the next. The place doesn’t need to be blown up. The...

    Seibold Spam

    I agree we don’t need the spam, we get message, but…I don’t really agree with the notion that Seibs and Tony are playing the ‘long game’. I think Seibold is petrified of too much youth after his Brisbane debacle and outside of Hoppa (a generational talent) hasn’t really turned to rookies with a...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I hated him for a couple of weeks but more because I felt betrayed by a player I have always defended in arguments with opposition supporters and someone I felt was a 'clubman'. I've come to terms with it now and like you, just feel disappointed. I'm not at the point where I'd be happy to see...

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    Just my opinion. I don't see a premiership as a thing you just suddenly win. It's something you build towards. I think a better building strategy is to allow the new halfback to settle into the club with another experienced half. Then, when Fogarty is settled, he has more capacity to lend...

    Trys or tries ?

    It's to do with nouns and whether they end in consonants with a 'y' at the end or not. Given 'try' is a consonant followed 'y', you add 'ies'. If it was toy, it's a vowel followed by 'y', you just add the 's'.

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    I think it's dangerous to have a completely new halves combination. It'll help Fogarty to settle in better if he is not helping a rookie try and learn the trade, while he himself gets used to the Manly systems. Maybe 2027 is a good time to hand the reigns over to a young star. As for Brooks...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    You've kind of answered your own question - "I really don’t get a lot of hate projected at him on the site...I am disappointed in the way DCE used the media to say he was leaving the club." That's where the hate is coming from. I agree, it doesn't need to be hate but it's not hard to 'get' why...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Seibs doesn’t need to be someone he isn’t. Ivan Cleary won four premierships and never sprayed the team (I’ve read his book). In fact, he sprayed them in 2019 and regretted it, apologised and believes it was a turning point. If you think there’s a one size fits all approach to coaching and...

    Strategy

    Yeah that ties in nicely with my perception of our team. People keep wanting to blow the joint up because we aren’t winning consistently but I think that’s very emotional (I get it), and not entirely well considered. Apparently we let the wrong coach go, but his Dragons got 56 points put on them...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I think the truth sits somewhere in the middle. We can look at games that we win and find 3-5 examples of play breaking down. It happens in every game because players aren’t perfect. They make mistakes whether we win or lose. Often, we make more mistakes in games we lose, further illuminating...

    I see it as reality rather than excuses but also respect your take on things. We are united in our disappointment!

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I think you’ve presented a fair case to the contrary. I was disappointed with the kick for Faulalo late in the 1st half. I felt we had them shot to bits and should have jagged another try before half time. As for the 40/20, I don’t mind so much but take your point. I feel we win with Hoppa at...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    It feels like people are shocked that we aren’t suddenly kicking ahead with consistency. It’s not gonna happen with this roster. We tried last night but we aren’t this great side that beats ourselves every second week. We don’t have the cattle. We don’t suddenly expect the Knights, Tigers...

    Yeah and we are Manly, not Melbourne. They aren’t that far behind us that a few injuries can’t bridge the divide.
