Waddell - a pleasant surprise
Aged well for me....better than all the blokes mentioned who have not played 1st grade above him so spot on Played ordinary tonight and as mentioned was "not inspired " by his signing at the time. However if he plays a good game and deserves credit, why would you bring it up tonight in a team...- maxta

Defence effort best part of Win
I think great point. I mean personally I rate DCE a very good player in his own right, but he offers a far more flambouyent style, not so much a controlled style, he didn't fluke his selections at the highest level, but thing is at rep level he has 16 "world class" players around to allow him to...- maxta

Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Certainly no excuses with SOO The 2 Eels out Moses and Lomax have been the 1 bright light, while I reckon the Manly game plan will now simplify which in a way will be a more disciplined maybe direct style Manly if serious should get home here- maxta

Will Croker be back?
Fair call, has the quicker legs and 1 thing he does offer is stout defence, I recall a few head on tackles and thought it was Jake- maxta

Defence effort best part of Win
100% fact Stewbojevic, I mean have now witnessed a few seasons where we beat the dud teams by 50 and then come finals...we struggle. It's like once the intesity rises and the footy comes down to old fashion grit, field position and dogged defence, we kind of get out armwrestled....and i think...- maxta

Zak Hosking, Frizell, and where I went to skool...
Need forward additions but not sure they Top the list Still appreciate the thread, as it's an area needing much improvement and if we could get the Frizzell from 5 years .... maybe even 3 years ago would be perfect I feel some quicker, younger middles would be ideal- maxta

Defence effort best part of Win
Just a thought The Cows are a very good attacking side and Manly looked on a mission defensively, shutting them down well all night. Cows had an "off" night, but I feel they are a team who fold when under the pump and Manly, led by solid defence, won the game on the back of tackling hard and...- maxta

Can’t believe we’re 6th
This shows what an "open season" we got in 2025. There are teams lagging bottom 4 who lost games by 1,2 and 4 points and could be sitting top 6 also with just results a bit different. The 2nd half season there should be a breakaway Top 4-5....and the other teams will fight for that finals...- maxta

The Daly Cherrygraph
Some pretty impressive signage there GE, seems these kids (or parents) come up with a few good 1 liners to get the rewards.... Must confess, I would likely end up with 1 of DCE's smelly boots in my Bar/Sports room....well for 2025 and 2026 it goes into the firepit .... @:)- maxta

DCE has copped plenty on here and I'm a bit mixed as wanna support him while still in the Manly jersey, but a touch of class after the Cows game last night....a young girl in the crowd had "DCE forever a Manly Legend" or similar to this...and below, can I have your boots....so well after the...- maxta

Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
Defence is effort :wait: Cows have many attacking guns, but were kept at bay by strong comitted defence most of the night. Really proud as defence = effort and this was a game on the road that showed a hungry team, that went at it for the full 80 minutes. Manly can always score points, so if...- maxta

All NRL Games [Round 11, 2025]
It has to be 1 of the best solo efforts ever Stumbling and hopping on 1 leg after being 3/4 tackled, gets the kick ingoal, gets himself ingoal, dives full length to score cm in from the sideline Nawawasawawsswawsawsa having horrible moments like spilt 3 balls and make it 4....regardless great try- maxta

What’s really killing our 2025 season?
Definitely not mate - always insightful and you bring plenty to the table including "having an opinion" and respecting others.....even if you see it different. It is far more than 1 problem and this is why this topic will go around in many circles, but same time makes it interesting, but for...- maxta

What’s really killing our 2025 season?
Thx "The Who", always good contribution and happy to give you my thoughts. The simple answer is Yes. There is still an onus on every NRL player to be accountable for what they doand to simply use the coach every time things go South is wrong, but you will find every player who wants to play for...- maxta

What’s really killing our 2025 season?
100% fact Yeh it's funny how a certain mod who know zero about the game, feels a coach does not influence or "motivate" a player. It's true players "should" have self motivation, but if the coach loses the dressing room it's common sense this shows on the footy field - well for those who...- maxta
