Another typical Many stuff up
I get the argument about Waddell being a decent depth player, but he's played all but 2 games this year and the only reason he missed those were through suspension. That's someone with a regular place in the 17, not a depth player. He was getting picked before Paseka and Aloiai went down too so...- JakeyB789

Garrick general news thread
Not sure where you are getting your stats from but of the 19 players with 20+ conversion attempts this year, Garrick sits 13th with 75.3%. Fogarty is 8th with a touch under 79% and has a career average of 78.7% compared to Garrick's 76.7% and has also had a higher successful percentage in each...- JakeyB789

Jamie Humphreys
Humphreys has struggled in the halves whilst Walker has been out just like Brooks has every time DCE has been out. I agree he likely won't ever be an elite half but he has the tools to be a long-term player in the NRL and I'm sure he will continue to improve as he matures. Seems like some like...- JakeyB789

Garrick
I actually think he was improving in the centres this year but he always has and always will be a better winger. It also never made sense to me how we were essentially experimenting with him there for a year and a half when every other move we've made has been to try and win in the short term...- JakeyB789

The Daly Cherrygraph
How sad will the end of the season be for him. At this rate he plays his 350th vs Dolphins at home in round 25 and then his final game for the club vs Warriors at home in round 27. Don’t think anyone will care less about either as we miss the finals again and his replacement likely walks away...- JakeyB789

MVP: Rd 18 v Souths
Story of his career. Getting praise in a win regardless of whether he plays well or not, I guess a try assist or two makes up for the 20 other **** ups he usually has during games. 3 - Koula - our actual best and most consistent player this year 2 - Simpkin - nothing outstanding but the only...- JakeyB789

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]
We’ll be lucky to win another game this year. Did enough to win today but it was against a pisspoor Souths team on a losing trot missing a bunch of key players, really nothing to write home about. Not a lot to get excited about outside of $CE’s departure, 8 games to go people!!- JakeyB789

Kaeo Weekes
I don't think anyone is acting like we lost the next Cleary, it's more just a frustration that we've let another of our exciting juniors leave and they've inevitably gone onto improve and play well at another club. All while we make moves that we think will help us contend in the short term yet...- JakeyB789

Kaeo Weekes
The Raiders are 3 wins ahead of everyone else and have beaten the Warriors twice, Broncos, Dolphins, Roosters, and Melbourne in a game where Weekes scored the try to send it to golden point. Sure he has a mistake or two in him like every young player (see Hoppa last week) but I’d say he’s doing...- JakeyB789

All NRL Games [Round 18, 2025]
Galvin’s game last night just reminded me of how I’ve always thought of DCE tbh. Pushing passes, trying to score off every play, no composure even with a big lead. That style of play can look good occasionally, but it just doesn’t translate to winning games consistently. We will be...- JakeyB789

2026 recruitment & retention
Kobe sounds like a decent signing if true, hasn't been great this year tbh but would stand out a lot more in our pack of aging plodders than in Brisbane's gun pack. Feels like someone where a change of scenery would only do him some good. Definitely the better option of the Hetherington's as...- JakeyB789

Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?
We will find our true position after the bye when we play Storm away, Dogs away, Roosters at home & Raiders away. I'd be surprised if we won any of these games and we'll likely be closer to the bottom 4 than top 8 by the end of it. A lot of people talk about how tight the comp is and how the...- JakeyB789

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
One of the few games I’ve missed live at Brooky in recent years but not surprised to hear the crowd seemed a bit flat, this is one of the most uninspiring Manly teams I can remember and that first half was true punish to watch. The captain doesn’t want to be here and isn’t a particularly...- JakeyB789

2 sets of 3 brothers
Yes the nearly 250-gamer in Brooks outplayed Fainu playing 80 minutes in the NRL for the first time of his career and without Luai. Was nice to actually notice Brooks out there for the first time in a while but I’m struggling to take it as a positive when this was a recruitment move aimed at...- JakeyB789

Tallyn Da Silva
Given we are coming off a game where our starting hooker played 80 minutes and did not take a single run the whole time.. going after Da Silva is a no brainer. Would be worth the $$$ given he’d be filling a hole we’ve had for 5 years- JakeyB789

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
Sipley and Waddell joining Saab and Croker in NSW Cup this weekend. Was initially excited especially to see Waddell's name, but realised it has no bearing on our team list for next week and any or all of them could be straight back in first grade after the bye.- JakeyB789

As I said I certainly wouldn't be calling them easy wins. Just on paper they are games we should win and I suspect that if we don't then Mestrov would no longer have a choice.- JakeyB789

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
I wonder if this has all been timed given we are on the bye and are likely to win our next two matches anyway. Both at home against 2 teams that have a combined one win from their last 8, with that one win being Souths beating Tigers. Although we've lost to the only 3 teams below them in the...- JakeyB789

We are Laughing stock of the NRL
So you are saying Seibold didn't get the spoon because he actually had the Broncos in 15th place and then quit before getting sacked? And the bloke that replaced him for the last 7 games is the same one Seibold brought to the club as a Recruitment Manager and is now our Head of Football and...- JakeyB789
