    2026 recruitment & retention

    Bullemor may have decided to pursue his business career, as he potentially could earn a lot more than he ever will in NRL. I had high hopes for Toff, however, his lateral movement in defence is a big weakness he has to address. Mind you, the whole damn team has to improve in defence.

    That could be the way it will be and the winger (5) will likely be Willet

    [Resurrected] Jake to HOOKER

    In my opinion Taukeiaho is basically a replacement for Lodge and providing he can stay injury free, he’ll provide better value. Tapolo could be a revelation and Navale is only going to mature. I have no concern regarding our front row, providing they stay injury free and while our options at 9...

    Jacob Arthur

    Yep, he looks like he has really ‘bulked up’. His defence has always been good and there is no doubt about his ball skills, speed and kicking game. Ian Martin made a great transition to lock, Cliffy was okay, others like Walker have been also, so hopefully Jacob gets a shot, as clearly with...

    I suspect most stuff we get as members comes from China, via an Australian company who has the contract, which is normal these days. So, with all the delays on the ports, I think that could be the issue. Caps and scarves etc cost about $5 each or less from China, so it makes economical sense...

    [Resurrected] Jake to HOOKER

    We have plenty who can play hooker with Froggy, Simkin, GCKT, Tevaga, the latter two who are internationals for Samoa and now the young guy from the Bulldogs. Should Jake play prop, ideally yes, as he did in Origin and for Australia, however, unfortunately, he is the best #13 we have at the...

    Totally agree Mark. Bullemor’s best games are in the middle and his leg speed makes a difference.

    Tevaga can play hooker Caleb Navale as lock or back row Kylan Matoa as prop Jacob Sykes as prop

    Jacob Arthur

    I suggested this last year, however, Jacob looks to really grown in body shape and while others have suggested it as well, he could well become a number 13 with his defence, passing and kicking game. I think Jake, as much as I love him and his effort and passion, has to move to the front row...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Okay, so we don't have a test player or Origin player we have signed, however, there are two young players who have immense potential and are just looking for an opportunity.and an old head who could be dominant. D'Jazirhae Pua'Avase is a potential talent, and the only reason he hasn't featured...

    Just another indication of the 'Hoppas chasing the dollars.'

    After attendances this year, Penn and Mestrov must be expecting full houses at each home game, and providing the weather is good. Flegg, NSW Cup and then 1st grade, fans will pack the place.

    Onitoni Large

    Speed in NRL is not over 100m, it’s the first 10m to 15m and acceleration that makes the break. Yes, it’s great to have guys who are incredibly fast on the edges, because, when the break is made, they normally finish it. Quite a few have alluded to our lack of speed in the middle and that’s...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    I agree, Nella looked really pedestrian for Tonga, which was really odd, given some of his performances during the year for Manly. He has so much potential talent and yet just isn't really showing what he has. Hopefully in 2025 he'll really stand up and be a significant leader of the Manly...

    Kick Offs

    The ‘powers that be’ are trying to reduce head injuries through contact, and that’s all good, but, where does it stop? What about a Burton bomb and the impact on the fullback and wingers from the chasing mass? Do we stop that as well?

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    Lehi has the skill to play centre, he just needs to bulk up a bit. I think the idea of Tommy and Lehi switching occassionally during a game is a great idea. Garrick has to be in the side justr for his goal kicking, however, I agree with most that his best position is on the wing. That would...

    Ben Hunt?

    It all depends on what the Broncos do with Ezra Mam, who clearly has some issues, and given he was apparently drug affected (not proven yet), unlicensed (proven), crashed into a car carrying a child (proven), who thankfully was not seriously injured, albeit broken bones. For the normal person...

    Tanah Boyd

    I am glad he's not with us. I think Flanagan may look at Latu Fainu as an option, as he knows him well from his time at Manly, and there's certainly some 'roadblocks' for Latu at the Tigers with Luai and Galvin. I am not sure, however, I don't think the Tigipes have extended Sione Fainu's...
