2026 recruitment & retention
Id be looking for a “large” half or mobile ball playing middle who is fit and can make a bunch of tackles while providing some service to the backline and leg speed for taking meters when they are there. Then a good premier mobile prop who can play a decent length first stint without losing...- Tomay

The Keepers -2025 Edition
They probably get a game of golf, a coaching assistant role and some media gigs as they leave.- Tomay

Manly Coach 2026 is...
The role of an assistant is quite different to a head coach. That’s why Trent still gets jobs - he’s actually good at some of the technical stuff. I think Ennis has decent social IQ and played in gritty teams which are two big strengths. Hopefully he can pair up with an experienced assistant to...- Tomay

Jake T.
I love Jake’s passion for the club. For that reason alone he needs to be in the team. You have to stick by these sort of culture creators. Since we sacked Toovey we have lost a lot of the passion that drove this club to great levels despite the clubs many challenges off the field. We should have...- Tomay

Why I Think Manly Will Never Compete Long-Term Again
Let them play juniors at Bankstown and then bring the good ones to live in gods country by the beach.- Tomay

Tallyn Da Silva
Part of our fall off to even more terrible lately I believe is largely attributed to Croker. He passes so slowly and often behind players so they have to adjust. It kills momentum in a generation where momentum wins games, you need to win contact and get a quick play the ball. I wish there was a...- Tomay

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
I’d be building a squad around Lehi Ola Tolu Bully Then Turbo at centre is worth a punt at the right price. Paseka is a bench forward with potential to be worth a starter position though struggles in defence. I like Jazz as a versatile bench piece while he still has something left. Fogarty...- Tomay

Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]
When we were walking out of the sheds after half time everyone was cruising, the security guy was having a chat with the guy behind him - it was obvious they clocked off.- Tomay

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
It’s almost as though without Turbo we don’t try and score on every play and get into the grind. Great win. Lehi was great. Broncos were terrible though.- Tomay

Lehi deserves the 1
Lehi has great positioning and feels very reliable. He’s good enough to play fullback now. In 3 seasons he could be anything. I like the idea of a solid, reliable fullback with a good defensive radar. He is actually pretty good at poking through the line and getting a fast play the ball as...- Tomay

Mainly ain't Manly anymore
The club needs new ownership. Kicking out Tooves and turning their back on the old boys killed our culture. Bozo is gone now - RIP. The eagles angels were distanced as well. Very little investment, trying to fight western Sydney teams for western Sydney players and not utilising the few unique...- Tomay

Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Eels are using the storm trick of hanging around the ruck interfering with the dummy half - wonder if that’s ryles thing .- Tomay

Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
We needed Bateman in the offseason. Not because he’s good but because our left edge starter is a reserve grader and there is no depth behind it. I’d put talau there for a crack.- Tomay

Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
Burbos best game. Still not sold on him in any way but have to admit he defended well tonight. Koula is pure class. Every touch was great. Our backs all played well except Turbo. Lehi was great with his hit ups out of trouble and incredibly smart with his decision making. Good to see Haumole...- Tomay

Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Fantastic performance. Best performance from a 9 in a manly jumper since Ballin left. TKO and Bully were amazing as was Jazz. We really need to think about our forward pack makeup going forward. So nice to see us cover the middle without giving away a million set restarts.- Tomay

First coach sacked.
The coaching pool in the NRL is incredibly shallow. Moreso since the reggies became less significant.- Tomay

Tooves was too small too. Good to see a local kid coming through. Our best asset and only protection against our clubs mismanagement is how great the northern beaches are to live- Tomay
