    JArthur leading try assists in NSW cup

    Yeah, that's all I was thinking of Nordburg. Last season he was injured so he didn't even get that.

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    For some reason I think we'll put in a better performance than the last two this weekend (not a high bar to clear, admittedly), but I still think we'll fall short. My main hope is that Mitch Kenny is way more important to the Panthers than I think he is.

    JArthur leading try assists in NSW cup

    I don't quite know what to make of Jake Arthur. His numbers in reserve grade have always been excellent, and even when he was on a hiding to nothing at the Eels, he did show glimpses of talent in the top grade. And I love that he's a wholehearted, effort player. But his opportunities with us...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Except when the numbers are, as others have pointed out, completely made up or wrong.

    Should Turbo/DCE Play State of Origin?

    Both shouldn't be picked on fitness or form. Both will be picked. Both will play. Manly will not benefit in any way. Yay.

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    I hate that I have to keep bringing this up, but can we ever have much confidence in Turbo finishing any game, at any time? We are at the point where we simply have to have cover for him whenever he starts a match because there's a pretty high chance he won't finish it. It's why Lehi has to be...

    NSW Cup 2025

    I will admit I also thought Feledy was going to be a star. But in the limited times I have seen him play since he left, it looks like he hasn't grown at all since he was 16 or 17.

    Smart and Savvy Recruitment

    Aren't they all at least 15 years too young for the club's taste? Also, it looks like they run fast and with energy. That is not "The Manly Way".

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Do we have enough data on Belinda Sharpe yet to know how much we hate her?

    Jamal Fogarty

    [Manly recruitment staff's ears prick up at this.] "Sounds like just the kind of guy we need!"

    Jamal Fogarty

    I think Fogarty would be an excellent replacement for DCE and I'd like him at Manly, but I get the feeling this is all just a charade and he'll stay at the Raiders. People will complain that we bungled the negotiations and showed our hand too early, but really, just like with DCE, Fogarty is...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Every time he steps on the field he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. Every time he gets out of bed he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. We can't keep him in cottonwool forever. But you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with Tom. And if he does go down again, you are right...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Thanks for posting that. He comes across as a great young bloke, smart and articulate, with a genuine love for the Manly club and the players. Obviously not traits we were looking for at the time.

    Was he concussed at the time?

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Try to watch replays of the last two games and you'll see every bad habit and poor option the Manly team has become known for writ large. The points on the ladder don't really reflect how insipid our performances have been. But I think the most depressing part of it is how eerily familiar it...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    To this day, whenever I need a "dead behind the eyes" passport/ID photo taken, I imagine that I'm Trent Barrett. Warm up with some pushups in my undies on the nearest bar, and I'm ready to go.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Is this a rhetorical question? Because, based on our recruitment, the answer is easy: all of them. We want them all.

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    This may be my exasperation and/or desperation speaking, but I don't think there's any point to resting him. Nothing seems to mitigate his knack for picking up an injury, so I'll go the opposite way: if he's available, play him. If he gets hurt (again), he gets hurt (again). If he doesn't...

    Seibold presser ..

    Having him on the field at all is such a roll of the dice these days. You never know how long he might last, so my inclination would be to play him. We need the win, and he's just as likely to hurt himself getting out of bed on the bye weekend as he is during a game. So unless we're going to put...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Wait… he did what? Kudos for his bravery, especially on a team of rainbow-hating Bible bashers like ours. I thought he had a pretty settled life with the wife and kids, but the heart wants what it wants.
