    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    The gifted backline with Tommy where he should be will be why we win if we do. Forwards are atrocious and extrapolating anything into the future re our pack based on beating the tigers is absolute folly.

    Inside the meeting that could redefine Trbojevic’s NRL career

    Hope this is permanent. IMO gives us a really potent three quarter line with the bonus of hsving Garrick play where he should be playing. Levi is a superstar. With a conventional halfback like Fogarty feeding these guys I think we could lay claim to a top 4 backline. Forwards are...

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Two or three bad injuries over a year is basically a given for every team.Can hardly say Aloia is a champion. He is normally bagged on here every second week. He is ok but if a side can’t handle losing a good prop and an average first grader in the pack then it probably shows exactly where we...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Agree with the overall sentiment but that forward pack beats no top side when the whips are cracking playing sides desperate for 1-6 positions. Tommy at 4 should have them in with a chance to beat Tigers / Dragons and rough hope v dolphins. 13th to 16th finish

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Hard to watch this guy get smashed every week. Does nothing for his future health at a personal level and totally stymies our team as it’s close to the most pivotal position in a team these days. He is just not good enough to do the job. It’s so frustrating they have persisted with him for...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Has there been a slower, more immobile pack selected this year by any side in the NRL? Simple answer is no. Think Tom at centre is a game changer for us in the backline and might give us a chance to roll some of the weaker sides going forward but unfortunately with our draw we pretty much only...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    All the leading clubs identified mobility and speed around the ruck is the way the game is going.It was not Sherlock Holmes stuff. Siebold has instead consciously opted for ageing, size and immobility to “release our weapons “. To me that is instantly disqualifying , regardless of who is...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    SE8 I’m feeling it with you. Love this club and I can handle ups and downs in recruitment now and then. Some players work , some don’t. But to miss an incredibly obvious strategic change in the way the game is played, at a time when inflationary expansion clubs being admitted was equally as...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Not saying we should have them specifically in our ranks. Simply pointing out this is the style of player needed in the modern game, not slow immobile geriatrics. It is an absolute gross failure to not recognise the trend like the leading clubs have.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Get back to me after the stretch we have coming post tigers. Haumole is our only CLASS forward. The rest you could interchange each week and make no difference with maybe Bull being an exception. DCE is a one trick pony on the right with Haumole. Can’t wait to see Waddell steaming through...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Losing Haumole has stifled us? He got injured last week? Croker and Sipley are reserve graders at every other club and if losing them “derail us” then god help us. Does anyone actually watch Croker play these days? He has zero effect in attack and regularly misses one on one tackles. The...

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    Watching those 3 young warriors backrowers , just out of their teenage years, on a split screen with Burbo and his plodding mates should be compulsory viewing for Siebold and Mestrov every morning. It is like they are playing a totally different game - how anyone ever thought this Dads army...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    It won’t get us in the 8 but surely tonight gives the green light to try Tom at centre with Lehi ( an absolute star) at 1. Tom’s injuries have brought him back to the field as an elite 1 but his size and footy nouse still make him a threat in the centres. Garrick’s flat footed miss on Kelly a...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    The game was the perfect explanation of why we are a very ordinary team No hooker - zero guile around ruck Slow immobile forwards ( third try ) Jake is barely a first grader on 900k Tom’s injuries have finally done him in No capacity to deal with momentum change / pressure Dollars has dialled...

    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    Last night playing a team decimated in the forwards who then lost their best forward in the first minute. I’m not a stats man but into the second half Dross commented we had not had a single run from Croker or his understudy( or DCE for that matter). Not a single run ! I cannot remember a run...

    Burbo

    Yep. He’s an adequate bench forward.Couid become a consistent first grade bench pig but carrying a second rower and hooker on the bench is not really a great option.Got a role to play maybe but we need a classy left side edge and top flight prop. Get those and luck with injury then top 4 isn’t...

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    He had one season at Titans with Taylor the million dollar man ahead of him. Covid hit then. Bottom line is DCE has played under Des, Barrett , Siebold over the last ten years and has achieved absolutely nothing with the overall theme of our side being inconsistency , weakness under pressure...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Agree they help .., but Newcastle had zero props and lost their best forward in the first minute.Throw in their Origin centre was missing with a turnstile in his place.

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    My answer is he will play very well and suit both our talented backs and edge forwards who are basically just bash and barge atm. At the moment Fogarty is leading a team with few stars and they are serious title contenders thst play with consistency and hardness. And please don’t come back...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Oh it was better mate but in in no way was it great. Great first halves don’t leave you with a nagging suspicion we will get run down in the second .,, something it seems almost everyone on here felt.
