A fun side, full of players who we hope might come on and a couple of big boppers who could do with the match fitness hitout. Good to see Toff is clearly taken to be in good health, he has not been the luckiest.
Honest to God what an absolute plonker! But he has given me a very good laugh this morning so thanks Matt! So far as his playing goes I predict he will continue to provide occasional glimpses and regular disappointment. But this whole thing is so funny it is hard not to feel good about it!
I am a bit surprised there is not more love for the Sharks in the "likely to improve" area. When I watched them over the last couple of years they struck me as generally playing an efficient and effective game, but at the end of the season they lacked the power and aggression to go with the...
I also agree 100%. DCE's durability is truly amazing and halves who are being troubled by niggling injuries (like Cleary's kicking leg problem last year) badly need to ask DCE about his training regimen. Frankly we need him to go around again in 2026 and I am very confident he will.
I agree with these opinions and I think a couple of other people have said similar things that frankly I am too drunk to go back and figure out now but.....
I never want to see Lodge in a Manly jersey again. As a professional and as a man he had every single thing to play for against Easts...
This reminds me of something. I haven't looked at 2024 stats for us in a few weeks but in general what they appeared to say - very little dummy half running, very few offloads - was that structurally we likely have a strong preference for organising our attack through the halves with Tom and...
Yes..... I don't mind the idea of Tom as a running five-eight, he has excellent attributes for that role. But the kicking game is the one real problem to be solved. If we only have Brooks as a lone kicker then we got a problem.
The 13 conundrum depends upon what the coach and other tactical thinkers believe we need there......
Do we need a strong defensive presence who can control the midfield? Then Jake is the man (and to be frank I think this may still be a Need).
Do we need a hard aggressive runner who can punch...
I am afraid I can't agree about Samuela. He has multiple drink-driving offences, multiple driving while disqualified offences, potentially the last in 2023 but maybe he was just lucky enough not to get caught in 2024. Either way, speaks poorly to either his character or decision-making...

Well we haven't signed him at all yet, so we can't be sure what he wants or what Manly can offer him. But he is in a position of needing to rebuild his reputation in Australia as a team man, having just been F'd off by literally the worst team in the league as unmanageable. I would expect we...
