    Much more effective coming off the bench and can not see that changing any time soon Seems to be really enjoying his footy and as long as he is or will expect to receive an appropriate contract value from Manly , sure that he would be inclined to stay unless that is another factor at play No...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Also mixed feelings overall , certainly cannot discount the generally good outcome of a convincing win but unfortunately , very rare to get some of the advantages that were on offer yesterday , and obviously possession wise . Still , enough positives to indicate that the side can be more on the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Not a season defining game but a fair bit riding on it and taking into account such an indifferent performance against the Warriors and the Raiders on a bit of a roll . Plus trying to take advantage of these string of early home games with some ideally good results Sure that Manly are capable...

    No question that Souths would have offered J H more money as well , apart from a better i st grade opportunity factor but when he signed , Sure also however that he was well aware that the English half Dood had already been signed by Souths . Manly must have had quite a good rating or...

    Always intrigues me with these tutoring or mentoring type roles and especially when more then one club engages the same person . Actually thought that Joey Johns was working with D C E and Foz at Manly as far back as 10 years ago or so . Wonder if Ennis has continued on with Manly this season...

    Really can not see how Turbo as a 6 will benefit either him individually or the team's prospects . Maybe some merit in a roving centre type role but again , not being able to utilize his best impact value even there , well certainly attacking wise . Lot could depend just how well Joey Walsh and...

    Beat me to it and forgot about J W H , although hardly established when he was recruited but what a career after that

    Also top liners , Jack Elesgood and John Harvey [ really a shame as both local juniors ] Not going there directly but also at one stage latter , Rowdy Shearer and Ivan Cleary

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Looks like the Raiders have picked up a good calibre backrower in Nicholson but Whitehead was fairly useful as well so probably no net gain . Not a bad balanced side but can't really see how they have improved that dramatically from 24 . Faulalo is a good footy player but looks like centre at i...

    Definitely can not be blamed [ D C E ] for that partial circus just prior to his back flip . Always had the commitment and preference to stay . Just be a shame if there is some issue now with some contention over a one or 2 year deal arrangement and the present reality with Manly "s short and...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    When there is an occasional media article listing the highest paid players , D C E in recent times is still listed as a million dollar player . Had apparently some T P A component [ maybe around 250 K or so to bolster his previous 8 year deal to that stated 1 . 3 mil and would assume at...

    But would the Roosters offer him a unconditional 2 year deal or any other club for that matter . If it is about money, even for just one season at Manly, well that would be a slightly different matter Also surely however , taking into account tax and managers fees , a haircut of say 300 k and...

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Have to get Haumole more involved and in better attacking opportunities compared with last Friday and the early stages in particular . Can :t imagine the forwards collectively having another below par outcome , well certainly hope not . Still a bit of a toss up whether Jazz or Simpkin start...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Quite obvious that D C E wishes to go at least another season in the N R L so really can not see such a big issue with just the one season extension with Manly . . The purported 600 or 650 K offer would hardly or realistically seem in the ball park though , Maybe something like 750 k in...

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Still not keen on Turbo playing if there is any doubt on his fitness ,Attack was just too disjointed when he started to struggle and as so much of the attacking spread depends on him being able to inject and involve himself effectively . Fair point by Voss 13 minutes after half time in that...

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

    Eadie was one of the best power - speed based runners in his era , hard to say how he would go in the modern era but at just shy of 100 kgs in his playing days , probably real well . Very valuable goal kicker and of course the regular i st pick in Australian sides for ages at full back . Snake...

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    Clean forgot about Taukeiaho possibly being available for next week . Could offer some helpful improvement and steady, experienced play in the forward line up . Not sure who to omit then out of Alioia , Sipley or Waddell

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    Maybe if just one of those earlier scoring opportunities came off , could have kept Manly in the game for a longer period but after that promising start, never seemed to have any semblance of control for the majority of the game . Poor discipline , outplayed big time in the ruck , lack of...

    Also know someone who went through Cyclone Tracy and they mentioned that there seemed to be some tornado type systems within the actual cyclone and one explanation why some areas or streets were not as badly damaged as others . In that the tornado effects in addition to the general severe winds...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Not that it matters much but still think Arthur would go a bit better as a 6 and was under the impression that Wakeman was more suited as a 7 . Back up for D C E no doubt a consideration and not a lot of depth at 7 at this stage but somehow , just don 't see Arthur the best fit there . Didn 't...
