Seibold Ball
Apparently requires around the 22 mil figure [could even be a bit more now ] at a bare minimum to operate an N R L franchise . Really not sure how much would be received or accrued for Manly from gate takings , memberships , sponsorships and so on and with the current cap at 11 , 3 mil ...- manly al

Seibold Ball
Certainly some very interesting insights there Guess that even if it only results in say a 5 % competitive [ and that is just a speculative take ] advantage and in the recovery and preparation areas , can make a real difference on a season "s prospects . Probably was more trying to emphasise...- manly al

Burbo to lock?
Really can not see Burbo ever transitioning to a 13 . Quite a respectable game again yesterday on an edge . Seems to have always had that problem of hanging a bit back defensively a bit wider of the ruck and not committing sufficiently or early enough especially against a more nimble opponent...- manly al

Seibold Ball
Not too sure how good or not Dymock is but biggest problem defensively at present , just don 't have the cattle in certain positions to cope when under sustained pressure or minimizing bad reads . As long as Arthur senior would not destabilise the joint to any extent , maybe not the worst...- manly al

Seibold Ball
Storm to their credit have seemed to have done quite well with money ball or initial money ball acquisitions for some time now and particularly in recent times with their backrow and outside backs . Plus Bellemy 's ability to somehow get the best out of them and over tome now also . Not too...- manly al

Don 't think it really matters again what D C E "s future intentions are , just as long as his full focus is to try his best to help Manly be as competitive as possible for the remainder of the season- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]
Pretty sure at least twice left his wing as a wrong option and on another occasion a bit slow to react defensively near the line , Still has good attacking ability and think his best position is at full back by far but of course already have some very capable players to cover there- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]
Guess that the main priority after yesterday 's disappointment and being generally outplayed has to be ,what can be realistically fixed as soon as possible. Alioia has shown improvement in the early stages this season so hopefully is available again to start , Taukeiaho maybe better off the...- manly al

How do we unlock Koula?
Koula apparently has a player option in his favor in 27 and doubt if he would be that keen to stick around if he is mainly considered as a winger or even bench option . Maybe or his family still have some interest in diverting to R U and could only see it as a major loss to Manly if that...- manly al

Guess that it could be helpful for his development or preparation for Walsh to playing some N S W cup this season but looks like Wakeman and Arthur are going not too bad as halves there at present Nevertheless and especially for getting a harder edge defensively , would think an advantage...- manly al

Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]
If Manly "s defence is switched on , definitely have the attack to get the job done Know that Pappy is a quality player but good opportunity for Lehi to step up if he can inject himself to best effect- manly al

How do we unlock Koula?
Koula despite his undoubted ability can only do so much to utilize this to best effect . Getting better opportunities is hardly down to him , good indication last week what he is capable of when he is given even half a chance so will just have to rely on more of that . And however it can be on...- manly al

Jamal Fogarty
Think the point has already been made and hardly any merit in trying to sign Fogarty above what he is currently valued at that 650 K range .and in all likelihood the figure that the Raiders will stick to in re signing him soon And despite the good range of attributes that Fogarty does have ...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Just not sure what is going on with Bully, Did hear one report a couple of weeks ago that Manly were in the process of [ or trying ] re signing him . Should be fairly obvious that his form level has been quite impressive for a while now so would assume that any outside interest would have...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]
That "s interesting , so essentially Taukeiaho and most likely Sipley in for Paseka and Alioia Koula and Faulalo in for Talau and Ray Ray . Jazz in for the Lawman , Simpkin for Gordy . Storm a bit off their game in the early stages last season. Presume the Storm are the favorites with the...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Presume there is still a top or a top 30 spot -_ spots available and for Patolo if he can keep his improvement going and to be considered longer term . Think that Sipps has knuckled down reasonably well the past couple of seasons , then guys like Faulalo , Schoupp , Arthur definitely offering...- manly al

Bit more of a demanding role defensively for Lehi as a 6 but has seemed quite reliable at one or on the wing so most likely well within his capability playing as a 6 . Natural ball player and good attacking instincts and ability so definitely no problem there . Kicking wise , not so sure but...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]
Hard to say how this one may go , tend to think that Manly can be quite competitive , although Storm obviously not at that stage of being there for the taking , despite some apparent recent patchy form . So many other factors usually at play also like ref "s calls and general rub of the...- manly al

Is Mestrov really our Messiah?
Also not sure what to make of the suggestion that the club with mutual agreement was going to wait until round 6 or so to see how D C E was travelling and try to come to some arrangement then . Or whether that was before D C E apparently told the club in Dec or so that he would not be at...- manly al

Just find it surprising that D C E was preferring to leave the club for 24 and 25 and when he was apparently still on a one mil K Manly contract . Could not have been not that much more on offer elsewhere unless there were some other inducements . Just the question on whether he is signed...- manly al
