    Mid-season Report Card

    We are doing about the same as we did last year. However, we have no Paseka, constant injuries, off-field rubbish, and a bit more inconsistency. We didn't have those negative factors last year, which made me more disappointed that we lost three in a row nearly full strength last year. We have...

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

    Seibold has already said they're not playing Turbo, and if it was a Sunday night they'd play him. Ponga will be playing injured because AOB is a genius coach. Lodge will be dropped, they only played him for 11 minutes and those minutes were garbage. Probably will be the following: 1. Loppa...

    2025 Rumoured and confirmed signings (NON-DISCUSSION THREAD).

    Bully to be re-signed until 2029

    Clayton Faulalo

    Credit where credit is due - I didn't particularly see much value in him, but he bloody proved me wrong. Great reads in defence, good positioning in attack although a little clunky to begin with, and some amazing skills. One of our best last night. Would love to see him get another contract for...

    Hass goes to market

    Remember this? Well he's open to leave Brisbane, so that's one hurdle down. MANLY ENTER HAAS CHASE AS SEIBOLD OPENS UP ON DCE Superstar Broncos prop Payne Haas has emerged as a potential target for Manly in the wake of Daly Cherry-Evans’ decision to quit the Sea Eagles at season’s end. But...

    Lehi needs a nickname

    Silky. Time just slows down around him. He has a fantastic set of skills, and just nails the plays. Can someone explain grassy? I must be missing something because I don't get that one

    Lehi deserves the 1

    We could not have a better heir to Turbo's throne. They are very similar players in their brilliant silky skills, and powerful builds. If it was between keeping DCE and him, we made the right choice.

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I just checked because often these stats aren't true - accurate since Saab arrived in 2021. The last game we won without neither, Round 18, 2020 vs Bulldogs. That team was: 1. Funa 2. Albert Hoppa 3. Parker 4. Harper 5. Miski 6. Cust 7. DCE 8. AFB 9. Levi 10. Taupau 11. Gosiewski 12. Sironen...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I really hope Faulalo is not marking Selwyn Cobbo... That could be an incoming disaster. Ideally Talau is back on the left. I wouldn't mind seeing Willett or Vaega in first grade over Faulalo. Aside from speed, I'm not exactly sure what Faulalo offers.

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    They can take people on unders, because they actually have had a functional system with a functional coach for a long time, that players want to go to... And they are given leeway in third party agreements outside of the cap to keep Melbourne competitive. Fairly sure you've bumped up both NAS...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I don't think he has the cap space. You said he went after Flegler, which is true, but this was prior to the 2023 season where he truly established himself, and before the Dolphins offered him a boat load of money. Remember, hypothetically, we could have say 800k of cap space available...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Big disagreement here. Hoppa has vastly better line management than Koula. That's an underrated skill that isn't easily observed, but it's not coincidental that we have had 40+ put on us numerous times with Koula at FB. I also think Hoppa has better playmaking instincts, and knows when to chime...

    Ethan Bullemor

    Was thinking he's more likely to go straight into their starting lineup. Fotuaika had 38m all game. The Queenslanders have some serious problems with their entire pack, and it might see a cleanout. Bullemor would offer more impact than the Horse IMO, whereas the Horse is the better starter.

    Ethan Bullemor

    After that Queensland performance, and particularly Loiero doing nothing, I think its more than likely the raging Bull gets called up for Game 2. Queensland don't have a lot of players in his mold available, and he's having his best year yet. Starting again this week, with hopefully longer...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Dearden had more spark out of position in 20 minutes, than DCE had all game. To all the people who don't want to see Jake Arthur play 7 again, I have good news!!! Pretty sure Sam Walker is a couple of weeks away too... DCE might start regretting a few things!

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I don't even think our squad is (for our poor standards) bad, it's just minute allocations, bench vs starting, and Waddell over Navale. E.g. giving Bullemor low minutes, and starting him over Lodge, is stupid. This is most of the squad that knocked off the now table-topping Bulldogs in Week 1...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Hopoate at fullback has been outplaying Turbo at fullback as of late. His last performance there was where he basically carried the whole team against the Dragons to somehow nearly win. I'm always excited to see what he can do there. Who will our other starting prop be, given Oshay Olay is...

    Rebuild at what cost?

    This 100%... I'm very patient to see what occurs from 2027 onwards, because this period is going to look the same as it did before, since Mestrov can't just change the structure of our salary cap on a dime... As for the people glazing Canterbury, who beat them in the finals? We did! Also...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I would like Mahoney, but only on the basis that Muagututia is unlikely to play NRL this year. Otherwise, if we signed him, we would have four specialist hookers in our Top 30 for next year. That's not good roster management. Either you get rid of one, or you don't get him at all. We don't...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I feel like there are six of these threads now... I know Koula and Garrick are all wham bam nice attackers, but far out, I would prefer a lower cost, good defensive centre like Parker right now, if it meant we could afford a better middle. Parker was not bad at all in 2021, when we were...
