    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I am certainly no DCE fanboy, and I wish he'd handled the whole situation with a bit more respect for the club and his teammates, but it's a bit of a copout to blame his departure announcement (or non-announcement, or whatever the hell it was) for the drastic drop in form of the team as a whole...

    Ashton Large

    There have been some big calls based on highlight reels over the years, but he really does look great. Strong defence to go with the flashy attack, incredible acceleration, and seems to have an instinctive understanding of the dummy half role. We could definitely use someone like that in the NRL...

    Lehi Hopoate

    One of those rare players who will find a way to impact a game no matter where you put him in the backline, but he's a fullback all the way, I reckon. Longterm, we have to plan around him as our fullback.

    Also, he sucks! Oh, wait… That was the other bloke.

    Seibold presser ..

    I don't know about that. I actually think our only way out of this mess is to have more players of the current generation, not less. We're old, especially in the forwards, and we're used to losing and not putting in the required amount of effort. If any members of our team qualify as...

    MVP: Rd 7 v Dragons

    Seems like an easy one this week, with everyone pretty much in agreement. 3. L'il Hoppa. Best player on the field by quite some margin. 2. TKO. Has been impressive all year, but his stints yesterday were great. 1. Simpkin. He's a real dummy half, maybe not the best in the NRL but definitely the...

    Yep. Just set your expectation to "Some time before 2026" and you won't be disappointed.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Yeah, TKO has really surprised me. His effort tonight was excellent.

    Knee knock, with a Dragons players (can't remember who).

    Unfortunately, Bully picked up a knee injury. I like to think he would have been given more time on the field otherwise, but who really knows?

    The only player we have with any composure is Lehi Hopoate, the youngest member of the team.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Again, got close enough to snatch it, but weren't good enough and didn't deserve it anyway. Definitely a game we should have won and probably would have won if we'd put in an even halfway decent performance. But the handling errors absolutely killed us. Big upside was L'il Hoppa. Still love...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Except chances are he'll be needed at fullback. We just can't rely on Turbo being fit. When he was one of our gun juniors, I always thought Gutho would make an excellent five-eight. Still do.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Same as last week: the team we're playing is not playing well at all, but we have still managed to be worse than them in just about every facet of the game. Lehi and Bully the only ones not mentioned in Kurt Capewell's Book of Rugby League Players Who Suck Completely (available at progressive...

    Jake T.

    Really don't like these head knocks he's picking up these days in defence. There was a time when Jake's defensive technique was a thing of beauty, and he would never get his head in the wrong position when he was making a tackle. Sadly, it seems like another sign that the game is starting to...

    And I thought he was bad last week. This week he's worse, almost completely disengaged from the game and the team.

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say it won't contain a depiction of a rainbow rising over the Gallipoli trenches.

    Great minds, Wombat. We deserve a two-for-one deal on tonight's lubrication bill…

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Even with Aloiai our pack looks average. Outside of Haumole, our forward stocks are at an all-time low, which makes it very difficult to win football games even against bog-average teams.
