    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2024]

    Titans are trash tonight. One thing I find odd is that the Titans prop gets 10 mins for a high tackle, but McInnes doesn’t go off for an HIA. By its nature, a sin bin worthy high tackle must have been delivered with force, so McInnes should have gone for an HIA.

    Horsbororough or Saifiti?

    Easy decision! Every team needs a ranga or two

    The Salary Crap

    There’s no perfect system. Publishing players’ salaries along with all formal offers received during a negotiation would help with transparency. That’s the thing that’s missing.

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    It’s a pretty easy one for me: Croker to start, Simpkin on the bench. Fully fit, our problem is not attack but defence and as we get to the end of the season, hopefully finals, defence becomes even more critical. A Croker / Simpkin combination provides a good balance with tactical flexibility...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    You might be misunderstanding my rationale. Garrick is a good player and I enjoy watching him play. But when we re-signed him last time, I’m sure it wasn’t a low contract. So if you are trying to make room in your cap, you have to consider letting some of your mid-cap players go where you (1)...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I’m not so sure we do have much up our sleeve… I hope we do! I would err on the side of being proactive in managing the back 5/6. Things move quickly in this game if we are not careful. If there are takers for some players at full freight, you’d have to consider it. Also, im not sure how much...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we look to offload Garrick before the start of next season. We have both Hoppa and Talau on good value deals who will look for upgrades, and in fairness, they have outshone Garrick this year. The club might also be questioning the value of Koula’s deal… I agree with...

    Cross-Forum-Discussion All Other Games Round 20, 2024 discussion

    Bob, we have been asking for at least 10 years!! You’d think Fox would have done some market research and realised he detracts from, rather than enhances, the viewing experience.

    Yikes - that’s one of the worst mistakes I’ve seen from the Tigers winger!! Enjoying this game, despite how loose it is

    Quac dropped

    Whenever I see the title of this thread, I wonder how I missed us signing a Vietnamese player…

    Origin III - The Decider

    I love that! I like Luai - niggle on the field, seems a really decent guy off it. And now, his football is speaking louder than his words (or non-football actions).

    I blame Haumole solely.

    Pre-Game Manly V Titans [Round 20, 2024]

    I like Karl Lawton at 12. Brings back memories of Glenn Hall in 2008. Unheralded, playing well above expectations.

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I think a lot of clubs rated Flanno but at the time he was signed by Seibold he was damaged goods and many clubs seemed too scared to give him the head coaching job due to a fear of stakeholder backlash. Seibs gave him the soft relaunch for his career, and St George were sufficiently desperate...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I guess where we will disagree is that I’m not convinced we have a top 8 roster (ie players 1-30). We have some guns, but also some roster fodder. In my view, there is limited scope for a coach to materially improve personnel in the short term (0-2 years), increased scope in the medium term...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    True. But at the same time, coaches inherit a roster and need time to reshape it in their image. How much time - 2, 3, 4 years - is the issue up for debate.

    I was referring to the likely suspension, which has now actual. We were already light on up front …

    Josh Aloiai

    Josh has been one of our best this year and has forced me to eat a bit of humble pie. But that trip warrants a suspension, without taking into account his horrendous judiciary record. 1 step forward, 2 steps back as they say. Dipsht behaviour costing us again …

    Post-match Interview | Manly V Melbourne

    Don’t underestimate my contribution!!! AlxFromSingapore is soon to return to his native habitat, so it was good to catch up for a great Manly win in before he does. I’m not sure what some of the locals were thinking of us yelling at an iPad in the restaurant though lol
