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

    Not too sure with Koula 's contract . Certainly recall when he was re signed for 3 years up until 26 i think with an option in his favor for 27 that he was being courted a bit by R U . Thought that it may have been more in the 450 - 500 K range but only a guess and do have to pay a bit extra...

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    Brooksy seems to reflect the sides overall form trend the past couple of seasons and this season so far in particular , very inconsistent and quite a gap between best and very ordinary overall form level Really disappointing unfortunately, this season to date for sure . Also had the impression...

    Do feel a little sorry for D C E specifically just in the rep footy sense as while not in the champion category , has clocked up a largely impressive origin stint . Not so charitable in some previous lead up club games for origins from him when he has just been mainly focused on trying to...

    Ball playing lock

    Sure that Manly would have preferred to have kept Walker in that utility or 13 sub role and the 350 K that he was valued for that role at the time was probably quite realistic . Quite understandable that he would have been inclined to then take up the Warriors offer to switch there with an...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Probably should just focus on quicker play the balls as well with some of initial hit ups . Noticed in the 2 nd half in particular , Knights defence was easily able to reset and then be up in the faces of any general Manly attack . Certainly blunts any helpful go forward or sweep plays when...

    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    Interesting balance trying to get the best outcomes with the current 9 options . Froggy [ starting ] and Simpkin complementing after that, may offer the most value . Jazz can certainly manage a worthwhile role there as well but given the also open question who can offer the most helpful input at...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Just pure self indulgence with D C E irresponsible kicking Game result and critical momentum shifts did essentially turn as a result and totally unfair on the guys who were really trying to put in and do what was expected of them . Brooksy not helping with his lack of management input as well...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Not too concerned with Sipps, will be fresh and sure that he will have a decent dig Maybe would have preferred to have kept Jass at 13 , noticed that he has [ or has been carrying ] a minor injury so not sure if that was a consideration but should have made not that much difference Knights...

    Simione Laifai

    Doubt if he would have been elevated to the top 30 squad unless the coaching staff are fairly sure that he has some definite ability and potential . Probably has to have some time in Flegg [ if he hasn 't already ]and at a more competitive level and see how he can manage that . Certainly does...

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

    Definite savings approaching with those three instances but also will need definite upgrades to Lehi , Bully , Burbo and maybe to a lesser extent Koula who is probably on decent money already . Maybe even Talau and Faulalo Could be a few hundred grand in resultant savings but would more look to...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Turbo was pretty good i st game of the season against the Cows and did seem very promising with the Turbo factor from the back ongoing but cruel fate has stepped in again . Would still expect Turbo to resume full back duties when available again for this season , even into next but even if it...

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    Would have thought slightly less but to suit both parties and no doubt priority soon will be an upgrade to Lehi and then beyond 27. Even to a lesser extent Burbo but in both instances , can only anticipate a major reduction in Jake 's and Turbo "s future deals for whatever time so that naturally...

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    Would have to be one of the most prolonged laid back and casual Manly re signing exercises that i have noticed since i have been following the club Hope that it can be definitely finalized this time , Can only see positives for both parties when it does become official

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Paseka , Alioia and T K O would hardly be rated in the slow department or lacking leg speed , even Sipley has seemed to have improved his leg drive in recent seasons . Agility slightly different matter but still need the bigger bodies with mobility to generally provide the crucial go forward ...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    So many positives but probably understated how well the defence aimed up , was organized and worked for each other . D C E showing what he is really capable of again but also can not understate Brooks 's much improved performance level . Plenty of things pleasingly going Manly "s way which can...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Really should not have played last week . Could only conclude that the prospect of playing Origin again superseded his main responsibility to Manly and being able to fully recover from that cork . Maybe there was a bit of confidence from the medical staff that he could be right to go but must...

    Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Think much will depend how well the Manly defence can hold up and possession share . If Alioia can add a bit of bustle and the rest of the pack can stand up and which they are quite capable of , maybe not so much pessimism at how well the side can actually go Much also will definitely depend...

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

    Tends to be fairly reliable and has a go but shown up defensively by committing too early against the Storm and the Broncs no slouches [ or tend to be ] in attack also if given the opportunity
