    I love Nathan Brown

    He was very ordinary in the trial game and looked out of touch, played good when he came on with Bully at the 20 minute mark against the Storm, went to the line with the ball and looked good in that link man role. Problem is both he and Jake are similar players and having them both out there we...

    Josh Aloiai

    He was good yesterday and the week before, I thought he was the pick of the forwards and he had intent with every involvement, didn’t get much help in the middle. Josh has lacked that consistency and for the team to be competitive he needs to bring that every week, hopefully the bad games are...

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

    They have De-Balin and Couchman linking together in the middle with their offloads and then the threat of a fresh Liddle coming off the pine. I expect Seibold to continue with the conservative team selections, though the tough calls are looming and if the injection of Turbo glosses over those...

    NRL Games [Round 6, 2025]

    Robinson is getting away from conservative selections and backing their promising younger players, dropping Townsend was needed a couple of weeks back, the young forwards adding enthusiasm with and without the ball are good to watch.

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

    Dragons forward pack will be a challenge to get on top of, how long before Seibold makes some personnel changes.

    Jake T.

    He does a fair bit of work off the ball Jake, looking at his last three games he has only made a total of 33 metres post contact in three games, that stat is not good enough for first grade and definitely wouldn’t be origin worthy. It’s not only Laurie Daley that needs to make a big call, there...

    The Haumole Bible.

    A bloke like Haumole all you need to do is get him early ball or put him in a one on one situation and you get points, the lack of ball playing and creativity from the halves is below par.

    Frustrating game lacking resilience

    Lack punch in the middle and second phase play, the player with most post contact meters this season is Hoppa with 380 meters, Haumole 361 meters, Bully 248 meters and Jake 133 meters, Jake made 71 of those post contact meters in two games and 62 post contact meters in the other four games...

    Jake T.

    Trbojevic’s turbulent form The form of Origin-winning Blues captain Jake Trbojevic is causing concern among NSW Rugby League power brokers as attention turns towards this year’s series. Trbojevic is too tough to justifiably be called rugby league’s version of Bambi but in terms of being rugby...

    The Haumole Bible.

    Have noticed the last two weeks the lack of early ball Haumole is getting on the right edge, DCE is not using him effectively in the opposition 20, all that early ball today and nothing executed. I would like to see him on the left edge occasionally when they are attacking in the opposition 20.

    Post-Game Discussion Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Ordinary game, lucky the Gummies are struggling also, could have been a lot more points put on. The attack has been struggling and today it showed up, one try from a kick and the other two from an intercepts, Brooks and Talau got lucky with that, though both Brooks and DCE were well below par...

    MVP: Rd 6 v Sharks

    3. Aloiai, looking for a middle to standup and he did that, had a decent go. 2. Faulalo, finished well and looked likely running the ball. 1. Bully, put in with his defensive work today to complement his running game. Thought Simpkins went well and he really should be starting.

    Did well Faulalo, unlucky not to get that one..

    Game Day: Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Looking for the intercept, the last couple of games Brooks, Faulalo and now Talau looking for the big play and creating an uneven defensive line.

    Game Day: Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Been very ordinary Brooks and DCE have been bog average, no shape or structure with the ball.

    Game Day: Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    A fair few of the other 16 players could learn a thing or two watching how much aggression Haumole tackles with, gone passive the middles and hopefully they have some intensity with their defence tomorrow.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yes I seen him play in round one against the Bulldogs and last week against the Eels, good ball runner who bends the line, solid enough in defence and has a good offload, the Dragons are stacked with young edge and middle forwards, the pick is probably Halangahu but he is signed longer term...
