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

    Mercifully we are at home at least. But the way we're playing we are a real actual chance of being rolled by this parade of losers. Team list on both sides should be interesting......

    MVP: Rd 15 v Titans

    Terrible game, my thoughts were: 3 Garrick. Some rocks, some diamonds. Certainly tried the house down. 2 Tommy "the real TT" Talau. Likewise, put in every effort. 1 Ola'k. One of our most effective threats until terribly unlucky to get hurt. When he left the field our last hopes were...

    Mindfulness

    Interestingly, this appears to me somewhat near some elements of classical Stoicism, particularly as taught by Epictetus to give a person tools for enduring the most difficult circumstances (Epictetus was a freed slave, so in a very real way when he first practiced Stoicism he could not control...

    Josh Aloiai

    This is unfortunate news. Sympathies for Aloiai. His shoulder problems are clearly recurrent so I am not tremendously surprised, but bad luck and bad news for him.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Make no mistake: if they lose SOO2 then DCE is over, and I imagine some others likewise. They will use SOO3 to launch a real shake up.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    TBH, even though his personal form this year has been inconsistent at best, if I was Slater I imagine I'd still pick DCE for SOO2. Is there really a compellingly better choice? I'd be thinking at least he is very experienced and he knows what it is to carry the main load in a clutch SOO game.

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    The really aggravating thing is that if only we could manage to play consistently reasonably we really would be knocking on the top 4, perhaps solidly within it. Even with how terrible we can be, if we can manage a win ratio somewhere around 50% we should just about creep into the 8. If we...

    Strategy

    If we manage to lose to the Titans I am going to start seriously worrying! Hopefully enough of our injury crocks return to make a post-SOO difference.

    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    Exactly: that is the answer. Our preferred pattern of play features a reliance on our halves for generating attack, with Turbo when fit a point of difference as he charges into the backline attracting defenders. Our 9s are coached to distribute ball for hit ups or toward the halves. Maybe...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    We went from winners to horrible when all we had to do was keep doing the same, what the actual F is wrong with this team?

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Even with our problems we are doing this in style so far. Full strength we'd be at 40. Knights playing like they got nothing.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Good timing for Toff's 2 good games per year, when he teases the entire NRL with a glimpse of what could be but will not be. Nonetheless like everyone else I can't help liking that guy.

    All NRL Games [Round 13, 2025]

    Same story on Bulldogs for that matter. If we can't get it then I'd like to see it got by a team I'm OK with. Too much to ask for? This is Rugby League after all......

    All NRL Games [Round 13, 2025]

    If we can't get it - and I don't believe we can - I'm OK with the Raiders they are a quality side having on overachieving year. Far preferable to some mob like the Storm!!

    Beautiful Raiders try. Kaeo set it up with a great run.

    MVP: Rd 13 v Broncos

    Could pick at least 10 guys for points without trying hard but: 3 DCE has given me the sh*ts plenty of times this year but outstanding game 2 Lehi with the right coaching and luck this young fellow could be a true NRL superstar 1 Special Achievement Award, Back Fence Browny, first try in Manly...

    What's worth streaming on TV.

    Billy The Kid, currently showing on Stan. Good handling of the story and characters. Fantastically shot, wardrobed and with their locations. I believe at least some of the production team might have been with the Vikings team, and it shows.

    Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I am starting to wonder if Seibold feels he is in danger of losing the dressing room, or maybe fears DCE's public decision and continuing declarations are a risk of fracturing the team. He just seems to be trying to be very inoffensive in terms of his public relationship with the players...

    Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    So two horribly inconsistent teams and two worried coaches walk into a pub........... My suspicion is the Broncos if they can manage to get their heads screwed on play a simplified middle game, overpower us there and defeat us. But really who can say with any level of confidence??
