    The announcement seems to be similar to what Manly use to do 15 years ago I think it was Orford, everyone knew he had signed with Manly but no announcement was ever made, he just turned up to preseason training to be part of the team.

    I'm surprised DCE and Billy didn't have a chat before the team was announced with DCE being informed he won't be picked and should announce his retirement. DCE could have come out in the media saying he is making himself unavailable due to a nagging injury. My body isn't up to origin and if I...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Voss will be off to the toilet during the break to have a quick bat. I've never seen a bloke get so excited whenever Manly make a mistake let alone lose.

    Perfect weekend of footy for me with us winning and the Eels and Roosters getting beat.

    Rebuild at what cost?

    We have been a basket case since Penn took control of the club. He isn't going to sell anytime soon but there is no reason we can't be a premiership force again. The club seems more focused on short term KPIs with no football people running things, especially old school Manly boys. We are...

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    He is ex Manly so would fit our we need an old boy as coach. But Penn would never allow the club to spend the coin required.

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    Talk of sacking our coach when there aren't many proven coaches available especially with two new teams coming in seems pointless. If we are to replace him we need to act fast and spend way more then Penn is willing too. DCE leaving frees up a decent amount of coin and Turbo next contract...

    All NRL Games [Round 11, 2025]

    I don't know if it is helping us. Penrith are likely to go on a roll and finish higher than us on the ladder, we need teams like Newcastle to loose as I don't see many win for us and we need teams below us to stay there to avoid the spoon.

    Mainly ain't Manly anymore

    Arko must look on in disgust, I feel sorry for him after what he created only to have Penn destroy it all. I think he is too polite to bag the club he put so much time into. I still support the club but not in the same way as I did, took it for granted that we would be in the mix at the end of...

    Happy to have Tom as captain this week but I’m not sure he should become the full time captain with the amount of time he spends on the sidelines. Jake is to nice to be the captain, need someone with a bit of backbone who will stand up to referees.

    The way I understand it if we signed DCE for $700,000 because of the long serving rules there is a $300,000 discount. If any other club signs him for $700,000 than that's what he is valued at, other clubs can't claim he has signed for $400,000 I don't think they can claim under $700,000 as that...

    Probably is telling the truth. Trent said they haven't spoken to DCE, nothing about the recruitment team and DCE management team speaking to each other. All a big play on words, most players would leave it to the deals are mostly sorted before they start talking to coaches and club CEOs. DCE...

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    I can see the game going either two ways. DCE to have a blinder to cement his spot in origin giving us a good win. DCE just to go through the motions and we get embarrassed, if this is the case the sooner he heads off to Easts the better.

    our June 30 wish list

    I think he will be at the Roosters this season. Our club will get nothing out of it from the Roosters, we will ask for a player swap with cash our way with the Roosters saying no, we will be dumb and agree. The only thing that may happen is they will offer a player they don't want with us...

    Matt Ballin for coach?

    While Penn is the owner we aren't winning a premiership. He doesn't want to spend what is required, its just a ego thing to him with look at me I own a footy team. Having an owner with deep pockets and passion is what is required, If Uncle Nick was a Manly fan and involved with us since the 70s...

    I'm glad Peter Peters isn't involved in the club these days. There would be so much dirt coming out if he was and it would make both parties look worse. I also hope DCE doesn't convince other Manly players life is better in Bondi, its the sort of thing Easts would do to attract players. DCE is...

    [Resurrected] Brandon Smith

    Moving Smith and Young on this year will save them $2,000,000 a season, that’s plenty for DCE, Manu and another origin rep player.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if the Roosters are trying to sign him for the rest of this season as well as next year. The last few days they seem to trying to clear up salary cap space with Smith off to Souths immediately and Young told he is free to leave straight away as well.

    Shafted once again

    Should have been smart after the 2008 grand final and burnt Brookie down. Worked for Parramatta back in the 80's, nice new stadium built as a replacement. I will never see a new stadium at Brookie in my life time, I doubt my unborn grandkids will either.
