Lehi deserves the 1
Really should not have played last week . Could only conclude that the prospect of playing Origin again superseded his main responsibility to Manly and being able to fully recover from that cork . Maybe there was a bit of confidence from the medical staff that he could be right to go but must...- manly al

Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Think much will depend how well the Manly defence can hold up and possession share . If Alioia can add a bit of bustle and the rest of the pack can stand up and which they are quite capable of , maybe not so much pessimism at how well the side can actually go Much also will definitely depend...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Tends to be fairly reliable and has a go but shown up defensively by committing too early against the Storm and the Broncs no slouches [ or tend to be ] in attack also if given the opportunity- manly al

Not that footy [ or ex ] players or general commentators need that much gravitas to be suited to that set role but just have an impression that maybe D C E would not be necessarily a natural fit in the general public sense . No question, capable of being quite well spoken also in a general...- manly al

Only expectation i have with D C E is that he puts in or offers maximum effort on the field for Manly until season "s end Quite good signs against the Cows and importantly , measured up defensively and with the backdrop of the still continuing off field distractions . Could be the case that he...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Definitely going to need a good night with completion rates and field position and may well be able to be in contention if they can at least get those basics right . Going to have to be a lot more agile and eager in defence then that effort against the Eels and a bit of concern there with Lodge...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Manly got close to the Broncs last encounter just over 12 months ago [ think that there was only a late field in it to the Broncs ] after a poor Manly i st half and guess that it could come down to how either side has improved or general form since then . Broncs having major issues lately but...- manly al

[Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates
Not sure how it really applies or applied but thought that the pay out amount was just deducted from a club's cap and then to sign a player or players on a similar amount for the previous contract time frame , Club had to cough up the funds aside from the standard N R L allocation and as far...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Broncs will field a fairly capable backline as well so real advantage there on paper . Broncs big gun in Hass and with Manly Ola to influence proceedings if both used to best effect . Maybe some issues with Hass 's ability to back up and Manly will just have to find a way to utilize Ola better...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Very hard to get the best mix of everything in a back 3 and particularly wingers Just based on his speed , ariel and finishing ability , Saab has to be one wing and has gradually improved his hit up value . Lehi pretty much in the same category and has always shown some quite capable hit up...- manly al

Apparently on 600 grand at the present time so out of Manly 's range Don 't mind the combo of Simpkin and Jazz covering 9 and Froggy probably still has some useful footy in him to offer there .and that is not taking into account a couple of 9 prospects in the lower grades right now Anyway ...- manly al

Club News 2025
Understandable criticism for the Manly pack not aiming up particularly well against the Eels but also surely pertinent that of the best forward personal and playing well, namely Ola , Tent , Jake , Burbo and Aloiai [ i know a bit marginal ] , only Ola available that other night. So a bit rich to...- manly al

Metcalf
Had an off night but generally accepted to have had a pretty fair season in 24 . Needs room to move and not quite as effective attacking wise this year for a range of reasons but apart from last night , defence has been holding up O K Not a lot of depth in the halves at the moment in any case...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Just totally outplayed when all is said and done. Eels had a gameplan to move the Manly defence around relentlessly combined with some very willing running . , Manly defence was unable to adjust or show enough mobility or application to cope and seemed to lose the plot a bit in the 2 nd...- manly al

Still not sure how Metcalf or Weekes could have been catered for at Manly in the prevailing circumstances when they did move on . Just another example and as has been suggested , seems to happen sometimes that promising players do take a while to finally reach their potential and could be...- manly al

Had a few quite reasonable performances at 6 For Manly after that game but unfortunately far and few between .
