    November Targets

    I still hold out hope that one day the Son of Mule will be in Manly colours. It just feels wrong to see him playing for other clubs, especially when he's playing so well.

    Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    You mean except for all the evidence that suggests otherwise? I found it hilarious watching NRL360 last night when somebody mentioned the Roosters were buying Cherry as a "game manager". It's like they haven't watched any of his games over the last decade-plus. Yes, he's experienced, but that...

    Garrick

    Completely agree, Scorpio. And even though you can make a good argument that we get more value out of a player like Garrick, who is rarely injured and always gives his all, than someone like Turbo, I can see why it could be best for him and the club to part ways. I'd like him to stay, but I'll...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Watching poor old Jake still having to answer questions about where Cherry is going next year (because we're playing the Roosters, and everybody bar Cherry seems to have acknowledged that as a locked-in fact), I would just like to reiterate how much I hate the way Cherry has handled his...

    Is this where we are headed ( NRL)

    I'll take the second option, thanks.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Weirdly, I think Seibs might actually be in the "sack Seibs" camp. Didn't he say he would gladly hand over to Manly legend Michael Ennis if he could stay in some sort of head of football role? If that's the case, does that mean he doesn't actually want to be a coach? Does he enjoy the job he...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    We should probably stop trying to get Garner back here every time he's off contract. Clearly, he's just not that into us…

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    As long as we can all agree that person is not Des Hasler. Des 3.0 would be the death of me.

    Karl? Although that's a San Francisco name and would probably make our Pridegate players nervous…

    Croker jake Chez

    Not sure I'd ever have Froggy Croker in the same postcode as Jake and Cherry when it comes to talent or salary. I mean, if he's cost us more than $2.50 a week since he became our starting hooker, we've overpaid. So from a financial point of view, I don't think his contract has been an issue...

    Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    You'd think so, but this team can't be trusted. They can't be trusted to react and they can't be trusted playing at home or away. Who knows what they'll serve up?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    It was like watching the second half against the Storm all over again, only this time we weren't playing with a decent lead. Baffled me as well. It's one thing to be patient in attack, but another to be impotent. Mind you, every time we did look like building some momentum we'd make an error or...

    I would also like to ask Christian Nicolussi if we should still be thanking Billy Slater for Cherry's "revival".

    MVP: Rd 21 v Bulldogs

    You gather correctly, Eagle 1. But I am a big fan of Dr Strangelove. And I probably should have done myself a favour and watched that instead of the game.

    How many wins to make the 8?

    I suspect you're right, Mick. Hoping against hope that this was "The Loss We Had to Have", but we're just too unreliable to expect anything but disappointment (with the occasional side serving of Complete Sh#t Sandwich).

    Run Koula Run

    Needs to learn how to play the ball though. Two very frustrating errors to add to the team's overall tally of Mistakes You Wouldn't Tolerate from Under 7's Players.

    MVP: Rd 21 v Bulldogs

    Already given my points, but wanted to add that I thought Gordy Chan Kum Tong added a bit of zip and energy around the ruck when he came on. Yelling out "Kum shot! Kum shot!" was one of the few pleasures I got watching the game.

    Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    Plenty of turning points. Saab dropping the ball under no pressure whatsoever to gift the Dogs their first try wasn't great. Tolu forgetting how to play the ball - not once, but twice! - wasn't great either. Cherry kicking the ball too short every time we had an opportunity near the Dogs' line...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Who played fullback was the least of our problems today. When the effort tanks that badly, nobody at the back is going to make a difference. We made mistakes all the over the field, never built any pressure, didn't capitalise on any of the few opportunities we had, missed tackles everywhere...
