    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Both have been poor for me, to lateral and no shape with the attack, over 550 first grade games between them and getting outshone by a pair of struggling halves.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    The halves have left off where they were last week, very poor again in the red zone, Bully gives them something in the middle, outside of that Haumole is playing poorly tonight and they don’t look likely in breaking the defensive line.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    No Turbo and these other leaders are not delivering again.

    Galvin

    He has been good for Manly Seibold, he is one of the better visionaries in the coaching game, I do like how he is backing the young halves publicly and building around them, it will give confidence to other up and coming younger players to consider playing at Manly when the coach will give you a...

    Croker

    He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee before Christmas 2024.

    Croker

    Simpkins defence has been one of the better areas of his game, his defence compared to Tevega is better. Simpkins 190 tackles made and 12 misses. Tevega 131 tackles made 13 misses. He may well be overrated, though he is the best of the bunch at the club for me at nine.

    Who are the media mouthpieces for?

    Dean Ritchie has been in full support of the Rorters of late with his articles and defending them on their recruitment on NRL 360, uncle Nick has him singing and dancing to his music now..

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Agree that’s why I suggested edge and middle forwards that are young and have a high likelihood to succeed in first grade. If it means freeing up money I would look at releasing Garrick and Koula to facilitate better forwards.

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    I like how Seibold gives younger players a shot, Hoppa I understand that they are giving him a shot to grow into the one jumper. The problem I see is the seasoned players not performing well enough and they don’t have the upside they once could offer, Tevega, Brown, Sipley, and Jake T are off...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    That knock last season was pretty serious for Croker and I would not be surprised if this did eventuate, a hard nosed player that has done a job for the club, his return at the back end of last season is a reminder he wasn’t the player before the injury.

    Galvin

    Watching him his running style and speed he is very good, I agree centre is probably where he would debut though I would like to see him get a run at fullback in Flegg this season. Watching Fletcher Sharpe play though at six maybe Onitoni will do well at six. Looks to be a player of good...

    Jake Arthur getting a chance to play where the club originally recruited him for would be worth a shot, 30 minutes playing as the link man would be good to see, at least he would go to the line with the ball and attract defenders, Jake T is passing the ball at times 3 meters before the line.

    It’s frustrating when I read the name Jazz Tevega selected at nine!! Seibold is starting to go down the Dessie path on sticking with seasoned players that are not playing well enough.

    Galvin

    Galvin and his management have knocked back the offer the Tigers made, they want to test his value on the open market. The narrative that Galvin has announced he is leaving the club at 2026 is not his doing, that was done by the Tigers who thought they put their best offer to him, they released...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    He is a huge out, there is hardly any punch up the middle without him, Bully yes, Aloiai he has been good the last two games, TKO he goes okay, the other middles look at their post contact meters and that will tell you how much aggression they are running with. No punch in the middle lacks...

    Galvin

    Galvin is a good footballer, he would be a welcome addition to any of the other sixteen clubs, I don’t think he would fix the positions that are the cause of the current teams problems here. Need a front rower with some mongrel, a Lenui prototype would work well, a couple of young forwards that...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yeh the current squad is not very well balanced, to much of the cap in the backline and not enough in middle forwards, Laiafi, Pua’avase and Navale on a supplementary contracts, are the only young forward talent to be given deals by the club. Recruitment wasn’t the best with what they recruited...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    I don’t know how Waddell got a three year deal, it’s astonishing a washed up journeyman on a three year gig, saying that I don’t think he is the major concern with the current pack, TKO good for 30-35 minutes, Bully needs to play 50 minutes and should start, no good him coming on at the 20...

    Caleb Navale

    Plays thirteen and that’s where he should play if they play him.
