    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Definitely looking forward to Fogarty's arrival. DCE doesn't play disciplined football. All the crazy stuff he tries makes for a good highlight reel, but if you include the 80% of the times where his bats**t decisions lead to a costly turnover it is obviously a net negative. Brooks needs a...

    If Hoppa didn't sustain the head knock we are probably up 40-0 at half time.

    I have a feeling he already knew that, it was probably a factor in why he was checked out

    I hated the look of our pack for this match when I saw the team sheet. It only got worse when half of the pack had to play in the backline. If either of Taukeiaho or Aloiai had played, or Hoppa had stayed on the park, we would have got the job done I reckon.

    Frustrating game. If Hoppa hadn't gone off we would have won handily. Every time we have a chance to climb the ladder we blow it.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Sometimes I really wonder if our guys are part of some kind of elaborate match fixing syndicate, given how often we lose when we are favourites and win when we are outsiders. I hope they just get out there tonight and get it done.

    Hass goes to market

    As much as I would love for us to get Haas I don't think the cost/benefit balance will be there. He is going to be way too expensive.

    Knowing our luck if Tom went to the Super League he'd have 5 consecutive injury free seasons and be in the best form of his life. I hope he stays and just has a very affordable contract. Does what DCE should have done.

    I don't get why we would go for Staggs when we have Waddell playing first grade regularly. Not the priority.

    Pre-Game Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    That pack makes me nervous. It's amazing how much weaker our side looks with just one or two changes to the pack.

    Burbo

    I can agree wholeheartedly that Waddell being picked in first grade is fairly objectionable, but Burbo is the second best back rower at the club and it's daylight third.

    Burbo

    You're right, of course. I forgot we had so many other second rowers whose irresistible form means Burbo has to be dropped... Who were they, again?

    Either that or they are tanking to get him sacked. They have form in that area.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Yeah it was basically perfect in terms of rotating Croker's suitability to the early bash and barge phase, with Simpkin's suitability to the more open ended parts of the contest. I hope Siebold keeps going with that template.

    Josh Aloiai

    We have had a few matches this season where a prop has played really well in the first half only to pick up an injury that sees us down a bench player for the second half. That dynamic has cost us a few potential 50+ scorelines.

    Burbo

    Go back and watch all the Eels' midfield line breaks and where most of them happened.

    Hopefully he comes good on his verbal commitments to having as good as possible a final year with Manly. If he keeps that form up then the premiership is still possible. The comp is wide open right now.

    I doubt he will see much more. I'd be keen to see Walsh given a crack to be honest, just hide him on the wing on D if he's not up to the rigours of FG defense. If the Roosters can win a GF with Cronk playing with one arm we can give Walsh a taste of First Grade.

    Burbo

    I still firmly believe that if he had played last week we would have won.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Very pleasing win, and our draw for the next 5 weeks looks very good too. Here's hoping we can stop this Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde crap and actually string some wins together.
