    2026 recruitment & retention

    The ASB crew really struggle to answer this. The most consistent name put forward is Brad Arthur. Who not only has a wooden spoon but also coached the most games without a finals appearance. I'm all for moving on from Siebold but seriously bashing him endlessly without a solution is more than...

    Des Hasler retiring

    I can't pinpoint the year but Des has been "retired" for a long time. He lost the passion and drive that made him Des. In his first stint as coach he was the "mad professor" known for his innovation. Sadly, he stopped giving a fck at some point and just recycled the same old game plans from...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The ASC are frothing about Manly getting pumped by the Storm et al Will have nothing to do with the players obviously.

    Lomax did indeed take a pay cut to go play centre at Parra..around 150k per season less from memory

    Another typical Many stuff up

    Agree he is better as a middle Worse players than Waddell have won a premiership - and if he was the 17th man in 2008 he would be remembered fondly.

    Another typical Many stuff up

    Waddell is meant to be probably our 20th-24th odd best player (out of 30) and is likely paid accordingly (and that's the key point - prob 200-300k) But hey I guess that's not taken into consideration when people bag the sh1t out of him and the recruitment team.

    thought that was us?

    Garrick general news thread

    His goal kicking percentage is good - but yes it feels he is the sort of guy who will kick 8 out of 8 from the side-line in a game we are dominating in - but will miss easier kicks when they matter more.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Most of us seem to like Simpkin on here but its pretty obvious he isn't seen as a 80 minute hooker. So the "experts" on here who think he should start probably need to take that into consideration As you say @Mark from Brisbane the plan is pretty obvious - let the more physical Jazz soak up...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    He's playing well and looks fit. I'm happy for him

    Jamie Humphreys

    Well said. I'm sure we all want him to do well.

    This thread is quiet.......i guess Souths lost and Humphreys was average at best?

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    To be honest I'll take any win in this ultra competitive competition. Especially with the way injuries have decimated our forward pack.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Have we ever had a world class coach here that didn't play for Manly? We can go around in circles here, but if you think it was the fact that Des and Bozo played for Manly was the primary reason they won a premiership as coach here, then I'll politely agree to disagree. How many games did...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Agree with a lot of that - it smells of a man under pressure I'm no Ricky Stuart fan but he was given the license to rebuild and make longer term decisions...and the results are obvious. A lot of the Manly decision making has been mainly short sighted.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    The biggest myth going around on here is that we need a "Manly man" We won comps with Bozo and Des because they were all time great coaches - not because they played for the club. We just need a really good coach no matter the background

    Seibold Spam

    Is the Seibold stuff worse than ever? I get there are some people who want him out, but turning every single thread and comment into a bash Siebold session has hijacked this place. I get that there is an ignore button but I would prefer not to use it except on the obvious extreme pests

    Pre-Game Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Spot on Disco Incidentally the bookies have us at 25/1 to be in the bottom 4 Given half of the posters on here seem think we are a bottom 4 team that's got to be appealing to some

    Wooden Spoon

    Manly are getting the spoon and the coach sucks, the players are sh!t and we couldn't recruit a loaf of stale brown bread. Yet we are in front of Cronulla who I'm told has a better coach, better players (including AFB) and a better coach. And oh, they have beat us twice this year. It's a funny...

    Paul Bryan

    We got Karl Lawton in similar circumstances - i.e., injured. that worked out ok.
