    Guess that everything is relative but the Broncs were allowed to pick up Ben Hunt for what ? - 500 - 550 K . Seems a bit on the dubious side Really do not think that Arthur can be a viable option , Maybe could be a competitive 6 somewhere out there at a realistic price to...

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

    Much will depend on the general fitness level of Alioia , Bully and Brown , if they can hold up all right , should be able to stay relatively competitive in the middle . And that does not take into account Turbo of course . In the circumstances , more likely Navale to come on to the bench...

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

    Certainly would like Bully to be definitely declared fit . Looks like some showers hanging around for the game but should not be the determining factor whether Manly can have a good night or not Wish it was a bit more certain that Turbo and Aloioa can come into the game in fairly good shape...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Maybe the slow start or interrupted start for Walsh to develop his League game is influencing some rethink on acquiring Fogarty but no doubt a bit of a catch 22 situation Appears that Walsh has quite reasonable individual ability , bit hard to assess his organizational skills or defense at a...

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

    Haven 't looked or not looking that far ahead , Just would seem so much better for a range of reasons to somehow jag a win this week and added to the subsequent bye points the next week, would make it 5 from 9 which sound even marginally , a bit better and hope then 4 from 9 including the bye...

    The Elephant in the room

    Can see the general premise of your post but Paseka at his best in the past couple of seasons has been in consideration as a fringe N S W , S O O forward or most likely bench option Main problem with a couple of the others mentioned , can be good at times , other times quite ordinary and way...

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

    Didn "t watch the match but after noticing the outcome in the Strom - Dolphins game , and the dramatic turnaround in the Dolphins favor , would think anything is possible in terms of a side "s ability to turn things around if a side is up to it And even with a couple out , Manly should still...

    The Elephant in the room

    Just can not see what intentions D C E may or may not have at the moment is affecting the side to any concerning extent He is going and has been public knowledge for many weeks now , has generally handled the matter and on a fair consensus not very well at all but what " s done is done and no...

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

    As long as the side can regroup and rally sufficiently and Aloiai and Bully are ideally match fit , might be within range of being quite competitive against the Panthers and some chance . Again with the prospect T K O and Aloiai starting props and Bully , Jake and Brown to complement the...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Think that injuries and not being able to field the best forward pack on a regular basis is definitely affecting Manly 's performance level .Particularly losing Paseka and can have some indifferent form but Aloiai with his reasonable leg drive , can be a plus if he is on his game and...

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

    Might be not so bad if Taukeiaho and Aloiai can start as props and Bully hopefully available . Probably can rely on or expect Jass or Brown to be in the prop rotation then with Navale and Waddell in the forward mix as well . Just can 't be sure with Turbo , maybe he can be right but will...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Could do worse if a suitable half can not be picked up and give Lehi a crack at 6 . That is on the proviso that Turbo can have a reasonable run on the injury front into next season and beyond Few examples like Matty Moylan and numerous more full back based players proving successful there ...

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

    No question committed effort defensively but probably one of the worst attacking displays that i have seen from a Manly side in a ist half . That probably proved the difference despite some improvement in the 2 nd half . Not too sure the reason , maybe confidence level down a bit , poor...

    Used to have a poster who went by the name of Terry Randall quite a few years ago . Could be a funny bugger on many occasions also

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

    Maybe not such a bad choice to have Navale on the bench and start with T K O and Sipps if Alioia is out . Will definitely add a bit more drive in attack , ideally his defence will be up to scratch and enthusiasm alone will count for something . Just hope that we can a bit more out of Brown , no...

    Galvin

    Definitely has taken the attention away from the D C E saga which can only be a good thing from a Many perspective .. Just seems a bit odd all round with the Galvin circumstances , not as if the Tigers did not want him or money or opportunity were a problem there . Shame that it may affect...

    Manase

    No excuse for some appalling conduct but thought i saw one report where Manase was diagnosed with some abnormal or part abnormal behavioural tendencies and that was before the church incident . Again in no way to downplay the magnitude or serious nature of the church incident or other...

    Croker

    Maybe one of those types of injuries [ Croker ] where it is a little difficult to be pretty certain or definite about a set comeback time . No doubt player welfare is always the highest priority . Or has he been included in the cup side this week , no idea . Certainly was getting battered and...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Strong Dragons backrow, obvious good level centres if given opportunities . Not sure how much Gutho is offering from the back these days . If Manly can have some reasonable control on the tempo of the game and aim up in defence , maybe able to get best value out of their undoubted attacking...
