    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Players can and/or do say comfortable lies or half truths in public though. Jake T once said on the record that he wanted to be coached by Trent Barrett for the rest of his career... I'm not sure that was necessarily true. I think you would need to speak to a player off the record with their...

    Mad Monday

    Our squad already has a good rapport with their future coach then. :)

    All NRL Games [Round 27, 2025)

    A lot of AFL fans don't really like the week break before the finals... partly because the Top 4 already get the week off after the regular season, then if they win in the first week they play the preliminary final having played 2 games in the previous month. It seems a lot more common for those...

    The Kieran Forum

    I think he'd be a great NRL coach if that's the path he chooses to take.

    All NRL Games [Round 27, 2025)

    Swapping out players like they are expendable pieces for young players with potential might work flawlessly on internet forums, but in a team dynamic it's not that straight forward...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    He's a bit more engaging for the markers than Croker in that he can often have a few steps or a run out of dummy half. But his passing itself is often pretty ordinary... Quite a few of passes (not just yesterday) are high and looping... One last night went straight at Lodge's head from 3-4...

    Let's trial a NRL match WITHOUT the Bunker

    My take... 35 years ago was before the video ref, but it was also pre-professionalism in rugby league. Players often worked as cellarmen and garbage truck drivers. Coaches used to threaten to run referees over with a cement truck or hire people in the crowd to abuse the ref when they came off...

    Michael Ennis

    SMH reporting that Ennis will leave the Sea Eagles after the match on Friday.

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    Overall he's not bad, but after 250+ NRL games I think we know what we are (and are not) going to get from Brooks. I would be okay to keep him but at the same time, Walsh seems to be bashing down the door in NSW Cup. Big decision coming up for the club and timing will be important.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I'm actually not trying to be (too) funny... 150+ run metres and 31 tackles is by most impartial observer's standards, pretty good output for a forward, regardless of their salary. Players like Luke Garner, Jack Cogger, Paul Momirovski, Paul Alamoti, Brenko Lee... are all premiership winners in...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yes.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Why am I still hearing slander towards try scoring MACHINE Corey Waddell? He's on not much money, scores 2 tries, makes 150+ run metres, 2 line breaks, 2 tackle breaks, 31 tackles, no missed tackles... and still cops strays on here. Tough crowd. He's starting because he's filling in for an...

    Taukeiaho has two!

    Season over: so, what did we get from it?

    I am optimistic that with a different captain and chief playmaker (if not different coach) that we can play a different brand of football where we can grind out wins. Whether we do that or not will tell us a lot about season 2025 in hindsight.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    This is my attitude whenever we lose a match and someone on Silvertails asserts that no Manly player would play first grade elsewhere... nearly every year there are average first graders that win premiership rings by playing their role in a great team.

    Kelma Tuilagi

    https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2022/01/13/sea-eagles-extend-contracts-of-three-top-young-players/ Kaeo was only signed here until the end of 2023, he signed for the Raiders for 2024 onwards. Would Kaeo have excelled at #6? I'm not sure. For better or worse I think DCE being at halfback...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Tom is/was the first-choice fullback and was turning 27 when Weekes reached the end of his Manly contract. To me it was pretty clear that Kaeo's best position is fullback, and his options were: 1. Re-sign for Manly as a utility, when we still had Tom, Lehi, Koula, Garrick all under contract...

    Tom Turbo .. interesting if true

    He took a while finding form after returning from injury last year as well. In my opinion, Jake is a different story, but it would be dangerous to write off Tom. If he goes injury-free he could easily win another Dally M Medal (how representative or useful Dally M medals are in the context of a...

    Burbo

    Last night: 12 runs 110 run metres (51 post-contact) 1 tackle break 34 tackles 0 missed tackles 0 ineffective tackles If he wasn't playing first-grade here, then he'd be playing first-grade at another NRL club.

    Who will win the comp

    If Sharks beat the Knights tomorrow (likely) then Panthers will either finish 7th or 8th... I agree that they can still win from there, but they'll have some tough away trips to do it.
