    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Not sure about highly favoured Home ground? - lost last 3 Lost 5 from last 7 Except 2021 I think they have been beating us for fun lately , admittedly at home Man for man on paper they beat us easily but everything points to big internal trouble in both camps so hard to pick I think they...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    He’s right It’s Gary Winter and co all over again Look at all the good teams , mobile fast forwards with impact off bench and a good hooker .. then look at ours The Melbourne game a few weeks ago lit our deficiencies up in lights .. a two year old can see the way the games is going . The sad...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    We have lost our last three at home and 5 of our last 7. The only reason you could see see us as favourites would seem to be the Brookie factor yet that seems non existent- arguably our worst performances have been at home I’d say bookies are counting on Cardigan and Haas not backing up. If...

    Mainly ain't Manly anymore

    Yep Talk to the older guys that played with him or knew him well Every year I attend the old boys / fans function on the Gold Coast at Yacht Club then Burleigh Bears. A lot of them now call GC home.Quite a few legends and first graders/ lower grades. Great days with a consistent theme. The...

    Galvin

    And won a comp with Burleigh Bears and dominated at that level. Watch his 2019 GF win over Redcliffe .Was inspirational at BB. Had a season at Titans / covid / etc Not every player blooms early You don’t lead try involvements in NRL as a fringe player Corey Walker ring a bell.

    Metcalf

    Easy answer They could have been catered for by NOT recruiting Brookes or dropping him after the abomination “ free throw at stumps “ fiasco and his many **** games since .Why is Brookes a roadblock to young talent? He fails for ten years at tigers yet he’s the roadblock. I thought he may have...

    Metcalf

    That’s my point. He played zero games while blokes failed above him and beside him. The games I saw, quite a few , he had obvious talent. He got let go by the sharks the second time because he had blokes in front of him who play extremely well and win games , especially against us lately ...

    Metcalf

    Seem to read a lot of talk about Weekes, Humphrey , Fainu etc leaving. Might not be common knowledge and he gets less attention but Luke Metcalf leads the Dally M table right now and the Warriors may lead the comp at the end of the weekend - he replaced a legend. Metcalf was a junior prodigy...

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    I get that but to me the Sharks game wreaked of the straw that broke the camels back re team morale. The difference now is DCE has definitely checked out. You could see it in the press conference and the coach looks like he has no answers I actually thought we would beat Penrith too We had...

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Out pack and bench are woeful Paseka and Aloia , although not great are at least competitive We’ll get slaughtered down the middle DCE has given up Tommy is hurting Overall the incredibly weak forward pack and DCE issue around morale is insurmountable in my opinion I expect a shellacking to be...

    Jake T.

    Take away the great bloke, wonderful performances for years and just stare at the screen and watch him play. He would not be considered for any top 4 side at prop or 13 or bench ( as he doesn’t add anything from bench ) As much as we all love him he is done. If we actually had a pack that could...

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    Yep Next week and no byes over origin will finish that pipe dream These “regular” pigs would not even look like making a top 4 side 17 Two or three might make a top 8 side 17 Waddell Ben T Simpkin ( but has potential ) Aloia Sipley Jake ( yes Jake ) Frog Brown Lodge Chee Kam Gordie CTK Tevaga...

    No Heart

    Watch the sharks hooker , that’s the standard needed in the NRL good sides Simpkin is a work in progress but not in the same class as yet Our weak forwards are made to look even weaker with our 9 travails over the last few years

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    He’s not that type of player.. he’s a competitor , loved the tough stuff and has skills … I’ll bet he won’t drop off , not in his DNA But I suppose my main point is there are players out there with value who are not wel ivef over 30 and on the slide Storm proved it every year … the other...

    No Heart

    I get that but in the grand scheme of things it happens so often. Last sharks game was exactly the same. We get behind at halftime we lose and that’s been happening for years. That comes down to deeper issues than Brooks messing up a pass. We rately win the big moments and it’s been happening...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    Watch Erin Clarke play every week. Warriors got him for nothing after he left a few years ago.They now have an elite 13 and it shows in their results. You could see his ability in a **** Titans side.There are players out there if you can identify them , which is why the Storm is the benchmark. ...

    No Heart

    We got beat by 16? The turning point was a flat pathetic effort in the first half from a substandard pack with a captain who has checked out. In reality there was so much luck in that first try ,shark error , miskick ny Ola that fell to Saab. Individual effort from Koula for the second after a...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    The play that says everything about this bloke was the kick on the first tackle after the six again just before the second try …1 Gold plated DCE panic play we have seen for a decade 2. he just doesn’t care Imagine if that was the Storm today … actually don’t need to imagine , we saw it three...
