    Joey Walsh

    Tony Williams playing as a 6 must have been daunting for the opposition and showed a bit of skill level with the ball from memory . Probably a bit under utilized in that area when in the Manly i st grade pack but could have been other reasons as well

    Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Somehow , Turbo managed to hold his own against the Panthers [ just ] Struggled against the Sharks to put it mildly . Wasn 't moving too bad against the Cowboys , seemed more a confidence and timing issue with some of his blues . No doubt still not 100 % fitness wise but thereabouts , quite...

    Joey Walsh

    You are pretty much on point with your general posting but unless my recollection is i bit off . Quite sure that Sunshine coast win was in 2009 with Trent Hodgkinson the 7 and T . Rex as the 6 in the final , Then in 2010 , D C E with a full season with Sunshine coast coming from the 20 "s...

    Can’t believe we’re 6th

    Would think that the Roosters should eventually get or finish into the 8 , not sure about Souths and the Panthers . Current top 5 sides should be expected to make the cut , unless the Warriors and Raiders have a late season fade out . Not sure about the Cows but Manly , just like a host of...

    Jake T.

    Still has something to offer providing his recent concussions don 't become a recurring problem . When Tent returns and into next season , guess that it may come down to he , T K O and Jake best starting prop options but Bully and of course ideally still with the club looks like he could be in...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Lodge is certainly making a statement to be given another shot in i st grade . Disappointing end performance wise last season but looks like could still have something to offer . Scoupp has looked quite average in the centres this year but had the notion that he may go all right on an edge and...

    Joey Walsh

    Big call all right for Walsh to be coming into consideration for a call up as a run on half or even bench spot . Still , if it is coming down to options , looks like the only other consideration would be J A . as the game day 7 Gave Humphreys a go at 7 about mid season last tear , was a bit...

    Trump

    Must be a nightmare for U S tariff regulators and their major trading partners trying to adjust to some of ever changing tariff imposts but fortunately may be settling down a bit in recent times . Fortunately , Australia does not seem that affected to date and hope that that can continue ...

    MVP: Rd 11 v Cowboys

    Burbo Ola Lehi , - but a heap of other players deserved some top billing as well

    Caleb Navale

    Probably could have given Bully some more game time as well but no doubt the coaching staff could see how the trend of the game was going and a horses for courses approach and looked like the right calls were made . No questioning of Navale 's potential however

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Team on a mission last night and total credit all round including the coaching staff to manage a team and winning effort considering the circumstances leading up to the game . Maybe the Cowboys a bit off their game but Manly's defence was pretty resolute and determined , numbered up well...

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Just try and get back to the basics and completion rates up again No more important game for the higher ranked players to step up Win to probably stay in the 8 ,, so hopefully that should be an incentive enough

    Jake T.

    Jake 's form is the least of the team's problems , still putting in and solid defence . Mistakes and turning over the ball again cruelled Manly 's chances against the Sharks and in complete contrast to the prior Panthers game .and thought that Jake and Burbo were two of Manly 's better...

    Matt Ballin for coach?

    Club coaching staff don 't always get it right but after that difficult start including that off season illness , Walsh has now progressed from Flegg to N S W cup and now in the i st grade reserve listing in a fairly short time . So can only conclude that he is coming on quite well and is...

    Matt Ballin for coach?

    Will always rate Matty Ballin an excellent and model footy player but does not look the same success level equates to his coaching ability or at a higher type level

    Matt Ballin for coach?

    That would certainly create a Storm .

    Joey Walsh

    Not too sure that Brooks would necessarily wish to walk with one year still remaining on his deal for 27 . Not even sure if Walsh would be suited to a 6 role either . Then this type of discussion predicated on Walsh actually offering some top level footy into next season or considered good...

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

    Wish i could share your optimism but after a poor first month [ and don"t watch their games ]but Cows have apparently been quite consistent since then . Manly , all over the place form and consistency wise since season 's start Really do not think they can get the win if D C E and Turbo can...

    Joey Walsh

    Another downside to the D C E situation if Walsh is pretty much up to i st grade level for the start of next season and the start of Fogarty 's 3 year deal and in the context that D C E could not stay for one more season . Realize that there were a few unknowns during the off season , with D...

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

    Cowboys are or seem to be in a much better place right now then the Sea Eagles so can only hope that whatever mindset and awareness factor that enabled them to get the better of the Panthers recently can reemerge . Not sure of the merit of starting with Bully up front and Tavega at 9 and the...
