The Daly Cherrygraph
Guess when Manly "s season defensively is analysed in the general sense for 25 , probably does stack up reasonably well in terms of the commitment level and effectiveness . Obviously not helped on occasions with injuries , players playing out of position and a couple of the slower forwards...- manly al

The Daly Cherrygraph
Be interesting how much coin for any official contract if the almost inevitable move to the Roosters does occur . Of course a couple of after career inducements to play their part also no doubt Then looks like Sandon Smith on the move and how to accommodate their current emerging half...- manly al

Will Croker be back?
N R L are going to seem a bit pedantic if they try and discount and reject any appeal on Simpkin . Can understand a certain criteria appraisal initially on Simpkin but not now the other considerations have come into play Froggy is hardly going to be ready to go and not even sure if Grody is...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Not too sure whether Garner would serve much purpose trying to bring in now , Certainly a couple of seasons ago but Burbo is more then holding his own now to complement Ola, Waddell going quite well and maybe one or two up and comer edge players on the Manly top 30 scene soon . Not sure if he...- manly al

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Very winnable game but still a bit of the toss of the coin when momentum shifts are taken into account and how that may play out Going to need a fairly high completion rate again and maybe a bit of attention at trying to address that points were hard to get in the 2 nd half against the Storm ...- manly al

Jason Saab
Still more positives then not in keeping Saab in his wing role . No question Talau and Faulalo have got quite a bit going for them as well but not that certain type of X factor that Saab can provide all things normal- manly al

Siosiua Taukeiaho
Definitely has been one of the most consistent performers this season with his all round input and his experience factor can not be downplayed as well . Would expect every effort to keep him on for 26 . Throw in Ola and Paseka if he can somehow be available and match ready in a possible final...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]
Were up for the necessary intensity and commitment - effort level needed and under so much more pressure pre game so kudos all round really . Had a couple of things go their way but pretty much had the Storm's measure and Manly "s more aggressive and eager defensive approach definitely...- manly al

Game Day: Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]
Found it hard to handle their style of play in that earlier season game at Brookie and did not help with Manly being quite a bit off their game attacking wise also . Even without Ola , do or should have the means to do better then that earlier season effort , just being able to keep it up for...- manly al

Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?
That is surprising but can only say that in the critical or vital missed tackle category , Manly would not be faring that well there . Especially against some of the lesser rated or lower positioned line ups- manly al

Vlandys PNG top 8 on demand 2028 special
Think that there are some conditions or caveats with the 600 mil allocation and not sure of the breakdown on how the funds are going to be distributed but again seemed to be some get out clauses on an Australian federal government 's behalf .

Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]
Yeah , i think it would be a better tactic to try and move the Storm "s defence around a bit but still try and maintain a high completion rate . They are basically full strength in the middle and Turbo and Koula could well be a bit of an X factor to trouble them . Need to utilize Lehi a bit...- manly al

The Kieran Forum
Just D C E "s longer kicking game to consider but Foz 's ability and proven record to so skillfully and effectively direct and manage attacking plays probably on balance , would have given more overall value then whatever D C E has offered over the years . But then again , that bad run Foz...- manly al

Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?
Just have a sense that Manly could have the Raiders and Dogs measure . Not so much the Storm and Roosters at this stage , Dolphins a bit of an unknown . Still think that Manly will have to win at least two of these next four quite challenging games . Great start if they can somehow lift to...- manly al

Have to take into account also that quite bad run Foz had with injuries when he did part ways with Manly after [ was it ? ] 2015 , Just really pleasing that he was able to however , to have a pretty good run injury wise when he did return for those couple of seasons in 21 - 22 and...- manly al

Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

Lehi the 1 Turbo centre
Good suggestion but not sure if an N R L club can alter an exiting contract to enable a more club favorable or flexible deal ongoing . Probably only way if there would be some restrictions on a Turbo 1 . 2 mil - 26 contract arrangement to modify, and he would be agreeable to average out on a...- manly al
