Ball playing lock
Very true - Navale has work ethic as a light forward with high work rate , not so much a tackle buster and no ball playing - more a Mr reliable lock and it's a Massive bonus to get your 13 like a Yeo with some skills....I think Greg Bird though a dirty rat, had a good combination of all modern...- maxta

2026 recruitment & retention
Think out Canterbury way there's a few good accountants also....maybe Manly need to borrow 1 to sign 1 -2 decent players, rather than a punt on 37 year olds in their twilight.... In saying that,we do have 1-2 good "young' Front rowers eligible for 2026 and some exciting young backs with speed to...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
To sum it up, regardless of different coaching styles....the accountability needs to be there. I have never hated on Seibold and compared to the Barretts and others, he certainly seems to have a decent idea on footy side of things. Just the side lacks that resilient toughness and the way you...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
Well Cleary is calm and Bellamy is a slobbering St Bernard....so obviously both methods can work as these are the yardstick coaches in modern times. Thing is, they both also have a presence without saying a word where they have the players respect at such a high level, their teams will rarely...- maxta

State of Origin, 2025.
Not gunna run through the stats and stuff, but if memory serves me half decently....very rare that we don't have a player represent either NSW or Qld. I recall some series there were 3-4 in each team !! This is not 100% terrible, as prefer the players being available for Manly over state, but...- maxta

Seibold Spam
His styles of footy, the expansive type has been very entertaining at times, but there seems a lack of focus on the core area's of footy like solid defence, field position, line speed ect. He has done some decent things and probably been given a tough gig at times with the unbalanced squad he...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
Yeh the "free throw at the stumps" Because we were missing 3 players, meanwhile the opposition is missing 7 Or "I'm really proud of the boys efforts today" After giving up a 38 point lead Or "We were really up against it today, but pleased we hung in there" After a slow motion performance- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
I can't watch these post match press conferences....imagine Bellamy if the shocking Newcastle minus ANY front rowers ran over Storm like that ...would be frothing like a rabid dog and rightfully so. If Seibold is ANYTHING like his press conference in the dressing shed, no wonder the players show...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
I agree with everything but the O'Brien part....maybe he screamed some obsenities and put some fire up their backsides....but the real impact was the crowd booing them off at HT....they were always gunna come racing out the blocks and Manly were "somehow" suprised by this ambush and were on the...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
Fair enough - I for 1 had that suspicion following the low percentage cross field kick from 5m out with Newcastle on the rack, rather than a simple pass or 2 for a try, but mine was "Iv'e seen this 3 + tries lead at HT before...we are no certainties" But tbh mate, even up at 30 at halftime, I...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
You have some seriously good points and that low percentage kick end of 1st half with knights on the rack, had me in shock and Haumole from 5 out would have waltzed over. Still a far better 1st half in relation to running with more aggression and quicker play the balls and the defence imo, was...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
Usually I can cop it, but this was next level....even when Manly done something half decent he was making up crap about some forward pass, lucky penalty..anything...so when they did get on top which even us Silvertails will confess due to a terrible 2nd half, he just death rode all he way off...- maxta

Maybe worse than the Eels game ??
Maybe...the Eels game was a nightmare, but this may just top it by a cherry. The intensity was lax and there was an almost a vibe Manly did not know how to stop the momentum and were shellshocked expecting to just play out the 2nd half at 50% and get the win, but after getting boo'd off the...- maxta

Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??
Well what a great 1st half....winning collissions, running with aggression and support, solid kick/chase game. :clap: Then we go to the sheds where the aliens ship was awaiting The players though looking similar, have been cloned by a rabble and the players are off to the pub. That 2nd half...- maxta
