one area Manly must improve in 2025
Our hooker is the key, it all starts from our pass selection and delivery. Croker is a hooker in the way Ballin was, which is a tacklebot. The difference is Matt Ballin had really great vision and provided top tier service which Croker lacks, but not through a lack of effort. I've come around...- Nike

These Black and white rules are still grey
IMO these rules are caused directly by the increasing liabilities for the game as a whole with the discovery CTE, and its continued research. Given that I don't think it's entirely fair to blame the administrators despite it obviously being a bit 'stupid' in a historical context. It's...- Nike

DCE to announce retierment
Interesting quote from Cherry-Evans from late September, per SMH. "Cherry-Evans can hit the open market on November 1 when his current deal – worth a little under $1 million a year – enters its final season, but a gentleman’s agreement with Manly officials to work out another deal for 2026...- Nike

Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)
Every NRL club is constantly changing nonplaying staff based on their desired goals and requirements. I don't have a example for your very specific request but the overall situation itself is not unusual at all taken in context. Regarding your point that it may have been a combination of Wayne...- Nike

Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)
He didn't get sacked, the position was made redundant. You're missing the point and responding with a false dichotomy.- Nike

One has to go ... who ?
I'll have a stab at it. Seibold loves moneyball and Koula would be on a decent wicket after the apparent ARU interest. If I was him as far as I'm concerned I picked up Taulau at a discounted rate and it paid off, meanwhile I've inherited Koula from the previous coach and he hasn't really kicked...- Nike

Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)
Nah pretty sure there was a reshuffle of the clubs brand and digital team last year and it was reflected in our increased social media content, engagement and quality. Correlation doesn't equal causation but I'd wager it helped with selling out 8 of our 10 home games this year. I'm not prepared...- Nike

Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)
Wayne was good but look at most other teams general media, then look at ours over the last few years. I have no idea what his role was but given he was made redundant, it's likely that you're somewhat right. Not really sure if you're being critical of the club and it's decision based on your...- Nike

One has to go ... who ?
I thought DCE was retiring in '26 and Brooks was shifting to 7 with Tommy in the 6, opening the fullback position for Lehi? They really do just throw as much **** at the wall then repost it a year later whilst proudly patting themselves on the back, all whilst quietly ignoring the other 10...- Nike

Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028
Omg how do you people not understand that Australia's foreign policy in the Pacific region is dictated by the United States? This was clearly demonstrated when the LNP fumbled the Solomon Islands and they sent the SECRETARY OF STATE. The United States is a global superpower, arguably the most...- Nike

2026 recruitment & retention
He was a lock turned hooker, then later moved to the backrow. I never watched him that closely but from what I remember he's got great defense despite being good for the occasional brain snap and having feet for hands. Part of me hopes he's being brought in to fix up our right edge but reality...- Nike

Confirmed: PNG Team Coming 2028
I'll have a stab at replying to this properly. What you have said logically makes sense however, you seem to have overlooked some key issues. 1) creating more content for the TV broadcasters so they’ll pay more in the rights fee. I disagree based on the previous broadcast deals signed. As per...- Nike

I love topics like this because the Silvertails Braintrust and Ironstines come out in force - loud, proud and wrong as always!

Why not Tooves?
You call it political correctness, I call it lacking class and nous. In saying that I would not say Geoff Toovey has no class or nous. As a former member for the NRMA board of directors he really had a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Even though he spoke primarily...- Nike
