    Congrats to the plodders & Nepo

    Was SST injured? He was very good but came off after 22 minutes and didn't return. The best part about these signings is that we have healthy competition for spots in the top 17.

    Game Day: Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    The premiership isn't won in Round 1.

    Arthritis aside, he's a year younger than Jake T and 6 years younger than DCE

    All NRL Games [Round 1, 2025]

    I would be amazed if there is a better try this year than Ben Hunt's last night. But... the premiership isn't won in March either.

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    I think it is worth considering the possibility that, based on what the coaching staff have seen from trials, pre-season training, plus half a year of JS being at the club, that Tevaga is considered the better option as a starting hooker on his own merits at the moment.

    One has to go ... who ?

    If he wants to do it, then it makes sense to try. But if he doesn't, then he'd be within his rights to ask for a release to a club that will play him in his preferred position, which I imagine would attract a higher salary ceiling than that of a utility player.

    Just Making up the numbers?

    In my opinion the problem is that finals are played at a different level of intensity to the regular season... and I haven't yet seen evidence that we have the bandwidth to match the top teams across the park in this scenario. Last year we could pick off any team during the regular season and...

    My top 10 experiences supporting Manly

    The 2014 comeback against Penrith at Brookvale was a good one. First home Sunday afternoon game in 4 months and weather was warm and dry for a change. We were pretty ordinary for over half the game and trailed by 16 points, but won after scoring two tries in the last 5 minutes. Tom Symonds with...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Are you suggesting that having to wait until age 21 to get a full time start at 5/8 derailed Josh's career? Or that we could/would somehow have won a premiership in 2021 with Josh at #6?

    Trial V Panthers

    DCE will depart in the next few years, and when he does, we will need to replace him. Some people think that we can't or won't be successful when that happens, but I disagree. As good as he is, we will be fine. Bob Fulton departed in 1976... and while we didn't replace him with another...

    Trial V Panthers

    Why not? We haven't won a premiership with him in 14 years. When he goes, we will find another half back. And if it doesn't work out with them, we'll find another one.

    Caleb Navale

    I look at Glenn Stewart as a comparison... he was a small forward and was only an occasional first grader for 4 seasons before securing a starting position, and then never looked back. Navale may make it as an NRL forward and we shouldn't write him off... but at this point in time I don't see...

    Trial V Panthers

    Win lose or draw... it is only a trial game... at Leichhardt... in the rain. We won the pre-season competition last year and it had zero consequences for the actual season. So best to just get through it without injuries. The coach should be judged on the actual season, not on a trial game when...

    You realise Jim Dymock is coaching this game right?

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Many in this thread have criticised the club, Des, Seibold, and others for managing him incorrectly. But in hindsight we perhaps gave him more opportunities than he would have been given elsewhere to earn his place in the position he wanted (at the expense of other players). Unfortunately, it...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but to me his service from dummy half has looked a bit sharper than Simpkin's looked earlier today... which isn't what I was expecting. For me the jury is still out on who is the better option to start the season.

    Trial V Wabbits

    There's no reason why he can't have a long NRL career, but I don't think it will be in the halves.
