    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    The players being/looking despondent and miserable isn't going to make them play any better next week, which is the only thing they can do about that performance now.

    All NRL Games [Round 22, 2025]

    I don't entirely understand how or why Cleary can guide a Panthers team to victory for the umpteenth time, but when you actually want him to do it (in State of Origin) he's a passenger.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    The Roosters already have 5 current Origin players, plus Tedesco who should have been 6 and will likely win the Dally M. But they are below us on the ladder. I feel like adding another 2 current/recent Origin players by itself isn't really going to solve whatever problem/s they have.

    Garrick

    If another club is willing to pay significantly more for him when his current contract expires at the end of next year, we would either have to upgrade him or let him sign elsewhere. This is not a unique problem. Teams lose good players all the time because they have 30 players to fit under the...

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

    Clearly he is... otherwise he wouldn't have played 120+ NRL games across two clubs. NRL teams win premierships with players on minimal coin who are not superstars pretty much every single year... our last two premiership winning teams are no different.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    He's been the coach in the last 5 Grand Finals and won 4 of them, for which he deserves credit... but his coaching record before that has been largely overlooked. After his first 319 NRL games and 13 seasons as a coach, he had a 47% win record (lower than Seibold's career win rate at the...

    The Haumole Bible.

    The real issue is that there was zero reason why this needed to be stated in the post-match press conference. It just gives the NRL media, most of whom are not medical experts and didn't have access to his scans, nor the conversations about the diagnosis and risks involved, something else to...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    And at his current level of form/fitness/confidence, of those 5 he would be asked to make at fullback, how many would he actually make? Would he have even got close to Tracy to make the try-saving tackle that Hopoate made today? This is the problem. Tom is on $1.1 million a year which is too...

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

    That list is missing Waddell, Talau was 18th man

    Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    Bulldogs are at 100% completion rate so we'll just have to be better.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    We beat the Storm in Melbourne with Tevaga playing at hooker for 74 minutes... I think we'll be fine.

    All NRL Games [Round 21, 2025]

    A lot of the passes I saw were behind the intended recipient or at/above their heads. Paying (reportedly) $650k per year for bench players who "just needs some time to learn" is not a particularly smart strategy in my opinion.

    We're saving all of the trick plays for the Grand Final (...never let them know your next move).

    Separately I am pretty happy we didn't get into a bidding war for Da Silva...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    It is just my opinion, but like Tom it seems like his history of leg injuries means that he often lacks confidence to make the extra 1% efforts... and despite that the squad is still better with him in it.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    A lot of people pin that 1995 loss on the ref (and there were a few sketchy decisions), but no one seems to ask why the team was flat or nervous? It doesn't make sense. That season was Bozo's 5th minor premiership and 4th Grand Final as coach, including the premiership in 1987. There were a...

    It probably would have been better for us if the Knights won that.

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    At the moment, Lehi is more mobile and is better as the last line of defense... our right side also looks much more solid in defense as well. At roving centre, Tom can still pop up on both sides of the field and play as a second fullback. He won the Wally Lewis Medal in 2021 doing exactly...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    In Melbourne, we've won: 1 from 6 at Olympic Park, in 2009 1 from 2 at Docklands, in 2010 4 from 11 at AAMI Park, in 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2025 19 games, 6 wins, 1 draw, 12 losses Source

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Since those losses, Hopoate has moved to fullback, Tom to centre, Garrick to wing... and we now keep Talau on the bench for insurance. So far it seems to be working. Would those changes have happened if we had won against the Knights and Titans? Would we have won last night with our former back...
