    I don’t thinking there is room for both Sipley and lodge at manly. We have enough of those body types. I would chose lodge and release Sipley. Sipley has the potential to be very good but has never looked fit to me and really struggles moving laterally. Just my thoughts

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    I can’t really understand the negativity around Garrick. Surely we are not blaming him for our defence out wide. It has been poor for years. I think koula has been far more disappointing this year. I don’t think he has improved as hoped for. I would actually move Garrick to the wing due to...

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2024]

    I hope they swap brown for toff in the 13. I think brown and bullemor off the bench together has worked really well all year. Don’t think Brown is big enough to start against fresh forwards. Has less impact with his running game.

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    A little left of centre but with Lawton leaving I would play Croker as a utility forward and rotate the other 2 as the specialist hookers.

    Garricks performance at centre

    100% correct. I was at the game and he was clearly knocked to the point of stumbling getting back into position.

    Ben

    Ben T dropped lenui on his back from 2 kick offs. His front on defence is top notch and it’s not his fault he is too slow for the centre. That’s seibolds fault for picking him there.

    Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    Let’s get real here. I watched the game from high up in the stands. Our forward were totally dominated. No go forward. Defence atrocious. We score 3 tries from intercepts and one was a push over. Attack went sideways. Roosters bombed at least 3 tries!

    Pre-Game Manly V Knights [Round 19, 2024]

    Yes agreed. I think Tom is battling mental demons rather than physical ones. His confidence in his body is not there imho. Plenty come back from long lay offs and look impressive. Ponga, Papps etc.

    Turbo back.. at centre

    So who is?

    'Skipping' runs - Koula Garrick Saab and others

    I am not sure on this but I thought I saw him limping at times against the dragons. His knee is strapped and seems to be bothering him.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Love if mestrov and seibold could articulate their retention priorities and overall policy.

    Jamie Humphreys

    I think that Seibolds coaching career hinges on success this year and next so therefore he has foregone long term planning and development of players and is trying to win now. He sees very reluctant to blood young players and is happy to let them leave. Lehi seems an exception.

    Post-Game Discussion Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

    Tend to agree. The problem as I see it is not enough mobility in the forwards. I think we need to get rid of two of the big front rowers and go to market to try and lure 2 good second rowers. The Jake type who can tackle well and can actually move laterally and not tire after 15 minutes. I’m...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    So I assume another good young player in Gordy will leave? Why would you stay?

    Kaeo Weekes

    If it isn’t working offload him then. I would have thought there was much more upside in keeping him on a low salary than going into the market for players who couldn’t make it elsewhere.

    Kaeo Weekes

    I think when you have that natural ability and speed it was worth keeping him for a couple more years and trying to developing him. Was it really better spending $$$ on Brooks, Paulo and Talau?

    Turbo good to go

    Our attack is way better with Turbo at fullback. I’d though try to limit his involvement somewhat. No more one of the Rick into the forwards for example. Sniff around for a gap and go for it. Maybe swap around with koula at times. The coaches should be smart enough to change his roll and be...

    Line speed and ruck area

    Totally agree. I feel sorry in some way for our front rowers. With no creation from dummy half they are hitting a wall each time and asked to do it all game. The defence is ready and waiting each time.

    Post-Game Discussion Dolphins V Manly [Round 10, 2024]

    I don’t necessarily ageee with the individual comments but I agree with the sentiment. We realistically need mass changes to the forward pack mostly. Unfortunately when you sign a coach who is coaching to save his career he won’t risk making the changes we all see are needed.

    We are embarrassing - winning the comps is years away.

    Agreed. Rooster have a heap of quality back rowers and are overstocked. I’d seriously have a go at signing 2 of them.
