Our Biggest Point of PRIDE* under threat
I am pretty sure we are were absolutely up $hit creek circa 2000/1/2/3..... an absolute rabble. Yet 4 years later we were beatin in a GF by a crocker high shot and a salary cap rort. And in 2008 we won a premiership. So chill out. It is mid-season 2023. We have a new coach, and some good...- Harmless27

The Daly Cherrygraph
I have just had to force myself through 14 disgusting pages about how Tom is a waste of money and should take a pay cut and retire from SOO etc (which i disagree with entirely)..... and once again it struck me: DCE and Tom are on similar money Tom is a better player - on potential.... But...- Harmless27

Latu Fainu
Fair assessment. But all of that suggests everyone remains un-injured, and in form..... And as we know - only DCE has the track record which suggests that will be the case. If I recall correctly, DCE was already in his 20's when he nailed a half spot with us..... prior to that we had Orford...- Harmless27

Latu Fainu
Given the contract we gave him (the length and the value) you would hope that Fainu would recognise that we see him as our future Very good forward planning in some regards here.... we might end up with a nice DCE baton change in future- Harmless27

Latu Fainu
Fox Sports article about Fainu Speaking of best games, teen playmaker Latu Fainu had a career-defining game in Blacktown’s 46-10 win over the Eels. The 18-year-old made his NSW Cup debut in Round 8 and has taken a little bit of time to settle into the game but on the weekend his true potential...- Harmless27

The Daly Cherrygraph
Here is one for you..... and this is open to both the negative Nancy's and the optimists: How much longer will DCE play for manly? There is every argument right now that he is in the top 3 halfbacks in the game. he is maroons captain, rarely injured, and incredibly consistent. If he was 25...- Harmless27

The Shane Flanagan Influence
Good luck to you Flanno. You were basically the coaches coach - at some stage Seibs needs to be his own man - so I see no problem with this. I like the idea of him remaining with us for the rest of the year.... it is no different to a player changing clubs in future. I seriously can't see why...- Harmless27

Cross-Forum-Discussion Round 15 2023 cross forum chat
It gets a little quiet on here during home games, as a good bunch of posters attend the matches. But a few out of towners will pass their judgement no doubt throughout the game.... Pessimism levels are high on the forum atm. The under-current is basically: Nothing has improved since Des left We...- Harmless27

Shoosh
This would be very disappointing news for the 'why do we only ever take players from Wests and St george' crew here on Silvertails. Lets hope it is innaccurate- Harmless27

Tommy T Injured - usa bound
1. I hope Turbo is ok. Head injuries are no laughing matter - heaven forbid he gets another one in quick succession, and then he is dealing with a world of pain (see Paddy McCartin - for those who think concussion isn;t a 'thing') 2. I thought Tom was hampered and limited in his strike ability...- Harmless27

The Daly Cherrygraph
BY FAR the most consistent number 7 in the comp. He isn't a 10/10...... but he is 7-8 out of 10 all the frikkin time. He is simply superb, and the BEST use of $1m in the comp. If THAT is a 5.5/10 game, then I will happily take it from DCE every week. Any anyone who reckons we should go all...- Harmless27

Half way - report card
Half way report card - good question/thread. Coaching team: They haven't improved the team..... they've tweaked some stuff, they've brought a different voice - but they haven't fundamentally changed too much in this team. At best, they get a C (pass) but certainly not an F. I give the kudos for...- Harmless27

The Kieran Forum
One interesting thing about Foran (who was never my favourite player after the What-now drama)...... Guac, T-Rex, and Fifita,,,, what do they all have in common? Foran seems to have a knack/talent for unlocking potential in edge runners. I know everyone on here says DCE is the problem - but...- Harmless27

Origin - Your Thoughts?
In what other competition in the world do they CONTINUE the biggest league in the world WITHOUT the star players for SOO (or internationals say, in other sports?) Seriously? I can't think of another sport in the world that does something as stupid as this. You rob the comp (the cash cow, the...- Harmless27

Des Hasler!
Do you think there is any chance he will pop up at Saints, or another cellar dweller perhaps? Would he be able to swallow his pride and do an assitant role to share his knowledge and skills with some other young coaches perhaps? Don't get me wrong - I don't want him near our club again. But...- Harmless27

Simply the best
That ad was my first real memory of Rugby League. We migrated to the northern beaches from Ireland in 1991... instantly took up supporting the local team , without a single clue about what the sport was. The tina Turner angle meant my mum loved it too.... and that was that. Life long Eagles fan...- Harmless27

Jake Arthur
Hang on - they've signed Moses and Brown for the best part of 8 years, and no doubt ramping up to payments of ~$1m each..... Yet some people think we've thrown too much money at DCE and Jake? Far out - the eels never fail to disappoint, do they. Basket case of a club. Welcome Jake Arthur. I...- Harmless27

Siebold Tactics
I too am frustrated with some of these tactics - and I am by no means the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to the intricacies of the game (I leave that stuff to the poster formerly known as Technical Coach). I was trying to figure out the whole 'Tom taking a hit up' on play 4 ...... and...- Harmless27
