Lehi deserves the 1
I don't think many have called Tom out for poor form, it's called not being on the field- maxta

Lehi deserves the 1
Firstly I personally like your work Disco and a fair summary of Toms performances, that has not suprised at all..... but let's add a couple of other things.....his 2021 was Super human and only 1 season Hayne got Eels to a GF off his back compares in my time watching footy.... You have last...- maxta

Lehi deserves the 1
Maybe due to the fact when Tom's able to hobble on 1 leg, he is auto selected at fullback.....if Hoppa or Koula played fullback those 5 games Manly may have won also. Most would agree a fully fit Tom is up with the best fullbacks on the planet, problem is he is injured majority of the time and...- maxta

The Daly Cherrygraph
DCE was ordinary, as was Munster behind a badly beaten pack. Haas owned the middle. Not to defend DCE, but the bloke who has really fallen from grace at NRL level and again last night is Ponga who has been non existent- maxta

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Best chance Manly have is how tired and sore Haas and Carrigan are from SOO If Brisbane show up at 80% Manly could hang in for a while, till strangled out of it and Reynolds....even past it, always plays well behind a pack who beat down on their opposition, so preying Manlys middle hold up to...- maxta

Lehi deserves the 1
Thing is, theres no stability across the team many games and while I agree the pack needs an injection of faster feet and quality, it's still very important to have a player at the back in the 1 jersey offering direction, enthusiasm and consistently revving the team from the back. I mean our...- maxta

Lehi deserves the 1
Your bang on with WHY personally I feel Lehi to fullback Has more vision and leadership skills and will only get stronger with time and confidence- a Natural Still understand Koula as well - so fast and unreal hovering around for second faze and has that blistering pace Either way I'd be happy...- maxta

Lehi deserves the 1
Tom T is out again and not gunna bag him personally, but it's almost become a week to week proposition. Lehi has been 1 of Manlys Best all season and 1 of few to hold his head up, even after some terrible losses more than holding his own. Just maybe, it will be Lehi at fullback on a permanent...- maxta

2026 recruitment & retention
I reckon has ability and is competitive Bob, but so busy winding others up and hiding behind his players, loses the plot....and if playing for Manly I'd still cheer when he gets smashed- maxta

Sea Eagles' Feet of Clay
Any side who is consistent, will field a consistent team. Manly fail here with various ins and outs, including the most important sector - I hate the phrase but "Spine"... the FB out more often or injured than not and DCE is the only constant figure, with Brooks there....but can be very quiet...- maxta

Rebuild at what cost?
I dont feel winning a spoon, is part of the path to building a dominant team that challenges to Win premierships. There is always the fact blooding youngsters who have great potential, but need to "grow" into consistent NRL players, is a challenging necessity to aim for. Thing is, still need...- maxta

Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle
Plus Koula sprinting up outside Williams who ran between Brooks and Koula and away to score untouched... The damage was done however, through offloads "in the middle" to build the momentum Simple yet effective game plan, especially when 1 team is significantly hungrier than the other- maxta

Waddell - a pleasant surprise
To be honest Waddell was crap .... but I thought there were about 10 players as bad in a terrible performance .... and this thread if I recall was from 2024 after we beat Penrith and he did play well "THAT" game ....hence the title Pleasant Suprise- maxta
