    State of Origin, 2025.

    Yep I thought DCE played better than a few other QLD regulars and it didn't help that his forward pack were getting owned. However his days of him breaking the line or managing the game plan are done. There were times when QLD were attacking the line that they looked very disjointed. Thats on...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    A no from me. Not what we need. We have Fogarty coming (so Sexton not needed) and while Mahoney would be a step up from Croker/Simpkins it would also be at a cost up. Fingers crossed young Zaidas can step up next year.

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    If you look at the Bulldogs model we don't need superstars. Fit, hard working and defensively sound meets the bill.

    Tom Trbojevic was a Legend

    His positioning in defence at times had me scratching my head. Grubbers were put through and I assumed Turbo would cover up but was always a couple of metres off the pace. The kick just before half time it looked like he had time to get there and Koula did a last minute touch to deny the try.

    Post-Game Discussion Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    They had Lomax and Moses out and lost arguably their best strike weapon in Penisini early. No excuses. They ran harder and tackled harder. The first half scoreline flattered us as they bombed 3 tries. They were creating line breaks and overlaps at will. Who is our defensive coach? I would...

    Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Wet, slippery conditions. Will be a close, hard fought game. One thing Ryles has done is lift their intensity and effort plays. No gimme this game.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Strong rumour doing the rounds yesterday of Galvin to the Rosters and DCE to the Dolphins. Not sure how he fits in at Dolphins. Katoa to 5/8?

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Yes. They are. Listening to their reasoning they are arguing that Tom is a rep standard player and has never failed for NSW or AUS and Jake is the glue that held NSW together last year and does a lot of work in camp that goes unseen AND they are saying that he only plays for eth first 20 mins...

    State of Origin, 2025.

    A lot of experts are predicting both Turbo and Jurbo get picked. Turbo on the wing and Jurbo either lock/prop and captain. Same with DCE - half and captain.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Where are these rumours coming from that he will leave before June 30? I know there are the usual media cronies but any substantiated quotes/discussions etc? There is also an article now by Paul Crawley (biggest waste of space in media) that other players are now questioning Siebold's...

    Should Turbo/DCE Play State of Origin?

    Tom - no (he is busted), $CE - maybe (but Deardon should be half and Munster 5/8), Jake - no.

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Surprising twist? Croker back (not really a twist). Lodge in (thought he couldn't play until next week otherwise this wouldn't surprise me. Talau centre, Garrick wing - this would be a twist, Lehi FB and Turbo centre - twist, DCE out and Walsh in - twist. Zaidas on the bench - twist.

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    Cupboard is pretty bare. They look to be fast tracking young Zaidas at hooker however no sure how he is going. May Hayley, Brendon Konz look to have potential and both have had stints in NWS Cup. Young Hugo Hart had a decent cameo in the first trial and has progressed from SG Ball to JF. Ex...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    Not sure how considering we have Croker, Simpkins with Zaidas coming through (and Ashton Large). He can play though.

    Jamal Fogarty

    Back on topic. Fogarty is probably the best we could have hoped for given contracts, $$'s etc. Yes DCE will be a loss and Fogarty is not a like for like swap however he would be in the top 5 half's at the moment. His game against Storm was excellent and he contributed in all facets, not just...

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

    Zero confidence in this and with Aloaia out our pack looks average. Dragons are a good side and if we are not 100% switched on then this could get ugly.

    The Jake Conundrum

    Agree he is not worth $900k now and I wouldn't expect his next contract to be that value either. Re failing to bring a premiership back home, apart from Panthers, Roosters, Storm (I forget who else won a premiership in last 10 years) there are a heap of players this could be said about.

    The Jake Conundrum

    Not sure if you have seen Jake in the media the past few days but he is Manly through and through. Said he doesn't want to play anywhere else and seems upset about Cherry's decision to depart. There will be other clubs interested in Jake and I would like him to resign. Has he slowed down...
