    Trump

    Problem is the backlash to some society trends just tends to stray into the extreme category . Not to say that some tendencies should not be corrected from time to time if they do get a bit out of hand or proving too disruptive and polarizing but trying to find a comfortable or happy medium...

    Trump

    No doubt noteworthy [ previous claims of Russian interference in U S elections ] but in all seriousness , just pales into insignificance with countless examples of major power interference in the political and administrative functioning in all parts of the globe and pretty much for time...

    Galvin

    Probably more of a case to go after Hass if future million Dollar contracts are or could be under consideration . All expectations that Turbo's and jake 's next contracts will be reduced by reasonable margins and guys like Brown , T K O and probably Sipps and Tavega moved on soon . Prop...

    Galvin

    Looks like it would come down to which clubs would be prepared to outlay 1 mil for a number of seasons and just can not see how Manly in practical terms should come into the equation with cap and team balance considerations . Dogs on all indications , not in contention , Eels and Roosters more...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    No doubt with Tedesco and sure like many other Manly fans was really hoping and part expecting that Turbo 's career , just like Teddy 's , could see him overcoming the earlier run of serious injury and then have a relatively injury free career . Guess that there is some hope [ or maybe wishful...

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

    Showed a heap of courage at Brookie last season and with a depleted bench to manage a great win Saints maybe a bit better this season and Manly "s confidence level and playing style will definitely have to improve to be competitive Lehi had a good day last season in that match and somehow is...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Not a determining factor and other clubs experience a similar problem at various times but hardly helping also having to outlay that 200 K for Schuster leaving . Meant in Turbo "s instance of actually - often still hampered by injury when he is available and the sad reality again of when he can...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Think that a big factor still has to be just how much value for money clubs can get from their highest paid or premium level type players . Seems to be a given for instance in the Storm's case with Munster , Hughes , Grant and Pappy regularly performing to a high level and a relative good...

    Post-Game Discussion Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Lackluster attack certainly did not help and Sharks hardly played that well either but at least a good effort defensively in the middle in the main containing a fairly solid and robust Sharks pack . Some of the broken field defence hardly ideal though .and a few too many off loads , a real...

    Media will always speculate i guess until a subject fades into a bit of insignificance

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Maybe at year's beginning or before the season started and Manly had an able replacement but really only trying to suggest the most helpful ways now to settle things down and not affect the team 's ability to perform as best as possible ongoing . Still think that it more down to D C E for...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Might be better if D C E does not disclose where he is likely [ or definitely ] heading until seasons end . And if he has already committed , probably will just cause even more consternation on the background and controversial aspects to his publicly stated positions if it is disclosed...

    [Resurrected] The need for change thanks to Concussion.

    R L is certainly not the only code having to come to terms with concussion issues , seems even more of an issue with A F L at the present time . Also seems to relate to the same factors causing more problems for some time now , slightly bigger , stronger , more fitness enhanced players ...

    Tommy Talau

    One tough hombre for sure . Was starting to lose a bit of ommp and resilience the last couple of seasons of his career in around 81 , 82 but after almost 10 seasons being one of the real hard men at A R L level for Manly and on the international stage at times , little wonder Outstanding...

    Calls For An Indigenous Australian International Team

    Nothing wrong with innovative suggestions but this one would just seem to have too many less then favorable aspects . Let alone the always vexing issue on what should actually constitute an indigenous background or eligibility . As has been mentioned , already have the annual Maori...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Looks more likely now bringing in Fogarty , Overlooked there was still another Raiders halves prospect out injured at present and apparently , Raiders not that keen on offering Fogarty more then a one year deal Probably are going to need some of the saving on D C E "s contract to upgrade...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Probably not too far off the mark but in terms of the initial stages , 100 % sure that the initial offer to both D C E and Foz was 750 K ; [ ironically what Manly have offered D C E now ] and D C E was more then prepared to accept that initial offer in late 2015 . But Foz apparently didn 't...

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    Going to have to do much better defensively against the Sharks when compared with that effort the last time they played them at the end of last season , let alone that below par effort against the Storm last Sunday . Admittedly , many results and form levels all over the place so far this season...

    Burbo to lock?

    Concede that he just generally rates on the average or just above average at times level on N R L standards but really not much else on offer right now . Middles or lack of enough consistency and ability there , the real problem at the moment

    Seibold Ball

    Guess that is the thing also , if the Penns did ever consider selling their ownership stake in Manly, how the other stakeholders with the Manly footy club and those pair that bought a 15 % component many years ago now , would or would not be impacted . Presume they would still be entitled to...
