    Good or bad idea?

    I wonder, if he signs, that he'll try and suddenly be sick so he can miss the pre-season 'days of terror' for newbies, and rather attend a rock concert instead? If he is signing, and that's a big maybe, that would mean Lodge is definitely gone and we may be shopping Sipley, Matterson and James...

    2025

    I actually think DCE will retire from representative football for 2025, which will make him available for Manly in all games in 2025. The big question is how many games will Turbo play? However, we now have Hoppa, who can replace Turbo when Turbo is absent. I keep on saying that our right side...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    If Bateman joins the Sea Eagles, I would have him at 13 and move Jake to Prop. I'd have Bateman covering the right side in defence to plug those gaps that DCE and Garrick leave and that gives us a right edge which I'd change up a bit of Olakau'tu, Bateman, DCE, Garrick and Saab. DCE, Garrick...

    Turbo Australia

    I thought Turbo was outstanding on the weekend, and poor Timoko will have his hands full against Turbo on Sunday. I believe in 2026, Turbo will be in the centres for Manly and young Hoppa or Koula will be fullback, probably Hoppa.2025 will be status quo. Mind you, that risky intercept by...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The one thing we have to do is tighten the defence on our right edge. I don’t care who fills the role, however, it is an issue. If Haumole moves to the left edge that may be the answer.

    DCE, Turbo and Seibold

    I think Jake is the type of person who would take a salary cut if the club needed him to, just as Turbo tried to do, however, was not allowed to by the NRL. DCE on the other hand, I would doubt would accept a pay cut from his contract, as he is in the 'business of playing NRL', knows his career...

    Voss commentary

    I still reckon Rex Mossop was the best commentator of all time! He just kept me in stitches of laughter. ‘Let me recapitulate back to what I was saying previously! He was the absolute master of tautology!. ‘Well that was an absolute waste.of a kick, straight down field and into the arms of the...

    Don't forget Froggy

    Yes, a good game from Froggy yesterday. No doubt the 40:20 attempt was a planned move, as he has done it before successfully. Unfortunately, he just didn’t connect. There’s no doubt the team value his contribution. Most of the guys were at Freshy this morning having coffee at Pilu, and all...

    The scales of Reuben.

    Lehi is going to 'bulk up' over the off season and you just cannot leave him out of the team, however, while at winger or stand in fullback occasionally, he has such 'silky hands' and is a great defender, so I would swap he and Garrick in 2025. Garrick goes back to the left wing outside Lehi...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    I'd love to see the intercept numbers for DCE, as I am sure he has plenty, and unfortunately, that's what he is mostly looking for when he leaves the structured line. When it works, he is a genius, however, when it doesn't, he is left looking like a 'Goose' and it just creates issues for the...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Yep, my stuff up! However, Manly were ahead of the Tigpies in all grades before the games and they won the previous Flegg game in the season 50-30 against Balmain. They averaged over 40 points against them in the last 6 games, so something must have been amiss with injuries or whatever, however...

    Yep, just like 1st Grade, Tigpies were coming last in Flegg, just like the women with Tigpies coming last. A crazy weekend where Manly did not win one game and were supposedly superior in all games. Crazy!

    Luke Lewis from Australian winger to Australian Second Rower

    Navren Willett

    The club may see him as a similar player to Shaun Lane, when he bulks up.

    Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 24, 2024]

    Seibold is clearly giving Lodge extended game time in Reggie’s before he comes back into 1st Grade. Koula at 18 is probably just named to see if he is fit, however, all our concussions, apart from Burbo have been backs, so there may be some logic to it. I guess we’ll see on the night.

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    At the moment, I couldn’t drop Talau, as he has been so good getting across the try line and strong in bringing the ball back. When Koula comes back, he has to be at Centre, as he just offers so much speed in attack and grunt in defence. Lehi is going to be a real star, however, he is still...

    Blacktown Workers

    The reaally scary thing is that Panthers had 5 players from NSW Cup playing in 1st Grade and in Flegg they had 5 players playing up a grade. Penrith has so much talent out there, and while fabulous players may leave, a new generation arrives of almost equal ability to take their place. Gus's...

    Jake’s personal messages

    Hi all I have run this past Dan and he has agreed for me to post this. It’s all about charity and those with illness (you can check it out). Jake will send a message to your friends, loved ones, your family or whomever you choose. My son got one and it was fabulous, as Jake castigated him...

    Has Bullemor improved big time ?

    I would be surprised if Nathan Brown has not had some impact on how Bully plays, and watching what Brown is achieving with speed and impact. I think Bully has really ‘upped the ante’ this year with his aggression. He’s a keeper.

    2024 Casualty Ward

    It's all so vague. Shortly, progressing well. Only Lodge, Turbo and Arthur have any definitive dates. I understand that Koula is an unknown and maybe 5 to 8 weeks, Croker is a real worry and he may have to retire
