    Mid-season Report Card

    Good thread 👍 I see Manly a C+....or maybe a B - Been some nice Wins along the way The biggest problem is consistency, the difference between Manlys best and worst, is far bigger than a team who would command an A rating Manlys best is maybe an A But worst is maybe a D If Manly can change...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Manlys right edge is the way you see it, DCE and out......and they should have joy tonight, provided they can win momentum middles first to create opportunities, not just shift like the Eels game before winning the ruck

    You can only ask the question Brookie - you gave it a red hot crack mate :happy:

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Was thinking the recipe to winning is shutting down the forwards, to minimise the danger men Ponga and Sharpe. Then something hit me.... Don't worry about them, concentrate on our game. Turn up like the Brisbane game - we win. Turn up like the Eels game - we lose.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I damn hope so - I mean when he FIRST got a run at Manly he was Super good....looked so aggressive and strong in attack and defence and was taking it upon himself to be "The Leader of the Pack"....but been pretty underwhelming since, not terrible, but plain average , which is way off the bar he...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I spent hours with these 3 at a shoot....and I couldn't believe how true they were to the image the media plaster out about "True Manly men".....they lived up to the tag and then some, humble, friendly and nothing was too much for them to be a part of and had the priveledge of spending quality...

    Hass goes to market

    Great post, so well constructed and direct, yet not a whining type vibe....simply factual and pretty much a 2 + 2 of why ppl continually see red flags out Bondi way, yet the NRL turns a blind eye to it. I recall the Foz situation very well and the lady involved seemed a bit confused at the time...

    Simione Laifai

    I reckon you touch on some good points, as there have been a few similar built youngsters with Huge upside, who have failed to meet the demands and speed at NRL level But on the positive, I look forward to seeing if he does have the desire to make the Top level, as the potential is certainly...

    Run Koula Run

    Very well written and hard to argue with the logic you make here The points on Ponga are fair, he looks "out of touch" badly, but I really feel the momentum his teammates are building, or lack of momentum, as his timing is off and 1 thing about confidence players.....once they have their...

    Burbo

    Very true and it's not just his input as in strong carries or good tackles.....he has been running great lanes as an option runner both tight and wide "like when Koula scored late".....these are effort plays and it's a great way for any player to show up and make an impact not just for...

    Run Koula Run

    Ponga is a confidence player....and 1 of the most naturally gifted in the game. Knights look flat, disinterested and way out of form. Do agree that Sharpe is a gun, great talent.....but having him at 6 is good enough for now as he played plenty of 5/8 as a junior, so just needs a better platform...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Not a great thing for Lodge to be overweight......claimed he was taking up boxing and I have been around that sport to know they pride themselves on having high endurance and the training schedules are all about keeping weight down, unless jumping up divisions which I doubt that is the case as...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    I think Lehi played better Saturday night than a fit healthy Tom has played in 2025 I fit them both in, but feel it's an injustice for Lehi to lose the fullback spot ....adds steel from the back and will only improve with game time.

    NSW Cup 2025

    It's very hard to rate tackle efficiency in a team that getting carved up all over the shop and you just happen to be "part" of that team As an example, Cam Murray is a defensive demon with both great technique and huge numbers If he is part of say NSW with quality players around him will have...

    All NRL Games [Round 13, 2025]

    Just wanna say how important that skillfull dummy half is....Melbourne looked scrappy at times If you have a great 9 who touches the ball far more than anyone else on the field you dictate the game Without Grant I'm confident saying that Storm are competitive, but will fall short in the big games
