    Nick Politis will not deal with Isaac Moses.

    Mitchell Moses

    Not sure about you guys but if there is one player I have a distinct dislike for it's this guy. Nothing personal of course just purely professional. Probably because he plays for Parra and probably because of the way he carries on during almost every single game. Now I am hearing that there may...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    Whatever happened to Woodsie??? Love to see him back on here. Now his post on Taniela was 2 years ago now and he we are still waiting to see Taniela explode in the NRL. I think we may be continuing to wait. For mine, his stats are pretty good but what I have been waiting to see from him is...

    Is a good loss a thing?

    This is the part that gives me lots of confidence that we can still compete for the title this year. Get these guys back into the team and I think we compete against any of your "Top 4" sides. On top of this we get Ben back into that backrow position where he belongs. The way he smashed Leniu...

    Sea Eagles extend contract of Paseka

    I am Taniela's biggest fan but got to say he continues to disappoint me with his ongoing inability to dominate and impose ANY sort presence on the field. Sadly I think the verdict is out and I think he is a back seat passenger. We need a driver...we need a leader up front. That's not Taniela.

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

    That was probably the most comprehensive spanking I have seen in a long time. Yes some really good excuses for us but what really hurt in that 1st half was some piss poor tackling from some of our guys and some seriously embarrassing positional plays in defence. A couple of our players looked...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Thinking the same. Depending on the price he could be a very handy pickup to replace Lawton. Matterson and Haumole in the backrow would be an interesting proposition. I am hearing he would like to team up with his younger brother.

    Pre-Game Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    I like this. I like us being the underdogs against a top 4 side. Pressure is all on the Roosters....multi million dollar team spluttering towards the finals. There is something seriously missing with the Roosters this year and I think we will prove that on Saturday. I think Cherry will be on a...

    Sea Eagles extend contract of Paseka

    Lots of favourite players at Manly atm but got to say Taniela is right up there towards the top. I met him a couple of years back when we last played in Mudgee. To be honest I don't think there is a single bad bone in his body so I don't think he has a JWH type DNA. So comparing him to some of...

    TEAM V roosters

    Yep bad time to tune in to that game. After we led 18 nil, Peachey absolutely ripped up our defence up front and on the edges. I don't think that anything to do with Faulalo at FB.

    Nathan Brown Impact?

    Now that would be great to see. And I think he would add some serious presence to that bench. If he can stay fit and we go deep into the finals, I would say he would be a dead set chance.

    TEAM V roosters

    Clayton Faulalo is a very good footballer but I never realised how quick he is. That 70-80 metre try he scored in reserves on the weekend was the only highlight of that game. He had some real speedsters chasing him but not sure they made any ground on him. I now understand how he ended up as the...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Titans [Round 20, 2024]

    Good post. Full credit to the team obviously but got to give some kudos to Seibold and the coaching staff here. Not that long ago, we did not have this ability to take a few hard punches then settle things down, grind and just wait for the opportunity. I thought we did that very well. What about...

    Unpopular opinion that should be considered

    Yes I think this is a very smart and logical progression for Jake moving forward (literally and metaphorically). I like the idea already expressed in this thread of starting Jake at 13 and then moving him into the front row as part of that rotation. This not only utilises Jake's strengths but...

    Lehi Hopoate

    Definitely needs some transition time as we have seen with Parker. But given the depth in backs and skinniness in the forwards might be an interesting option to test.

    Is Brown our new "BK"

    I said earlier in the season that Browny would be the difference between us making the 8 v making the 4. Definitely maintain this opinion today. Re comparison to BK....exactly the same impact on the team. Interestingly both guys are / were 31 years of age when they joined the Eagles. Both guys...

    Lehi Hopoate

    Now that's a real interesting thought. Particularly given we are short of backrowers. Certainly can tackle and has got the tough carries and mobility. Can also pop a nice pass. Might be an opportunity to canvass when Tolu is back?? Two Manly greats of the past were centres who ended up in the...

    Lehi Hopoate

    I did not want to say anything as the kid is coming along so well and is still so green. However it is an obvious question for the future. He has some real natural football smarts and awareness around him. He is also tough an can tackle and has some serious speed if you have watched him come...

    Ballin

    I like Matty Ballin a lot and think he will be an enormous asset back at Manly. I am not sure about his coaching credentials however. He did coach one of our lower grade teams a few years back and from memory that was not successful. I understand he is VERY highly regarded by the Manly...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Same here. There were several times last night where I thought there was a distinct lack of speed. Both in attack and defence. Not sure this was about fitness or fatigue. We actually saw this prior to Tom getting injured a couple of months back. My fear is that the lack of speed may be here to...
