Sack Seibold Immediately
What I am saying is there will always be differences in views and opinions between players and coaches, if that’s the case the Raiders are a good example of putting all their differences and opinions on the table and all being aligned and supportive of the decisions made during the meeting.- Dion Johnson

Most underwhelming Manly EVER
Hard to understand that the club stuck with him as club captain after he dragged them through the mud on 💯% footy.- Dion Johnson

Sack Seibold Immediately
I don’t know if you remember a couple of seasons back the divide at the Raiders with Ricky and the playing group, Tapine wanted out etc. The decision to stick with Ricky and get the playing group aligned has them at the top of the table, getting the stinky fish out on the table and having those...- Dion Johnson

Most underwhelming Manly EVER
That was a tough game to watch, Brooks and Evan’s I don’t know if they could have played worse with the ball, same as last week they are not delivering, almost 600 games between them and they can’t manage any attacking stats again.- Dion Johnson

2026 recruitment & retention
The Roosters and a few other successful clubs have had the benefit of staying true to their short and long term plans with players, backing their head coach for the long haul. One of the major problems Manly have had is the turnover of the head coach and locking the head coach in on short term...- Dion Johnson

Joey Walsh
Watching him play against the bigger bodies in Cup he does well in defence. The combination with Wakeham in Cup goes good, has a few inconsistent minutes in his game like most younger players coming through, definitely catches the eye and he will be putting pressure on Brooks to perform more...- Dion Johnson

The Daly Cherrygraph
A lot has been said about the clubs retention and recruitment and some comments are definitely on the mark, however the club got this one correct last season where they didn’t go all out to sign him, thank goodness that the reactive consideration to resign him earlier this season failed, based...- Dion Johnson

NSW Cup 2025
Agree on MCK he has been no standout in Cup, though he did a decent job against the raiders, outside of Waddell the forwards all went well against a good pack. On performances in Cup there are a few that have played well and consistently, injuries to Dunford and Patolo came at the wrong time...- Dion Johnson

NSW Cup 2025
He was part of the Toyota cup side that had some good players in it, not sure what happened with him between then and now, watching him it’s easy to see the skill and talent he possesses, from what I read on him he runs a concrete business, if he could commit to playing full time he would have a...- Dion Johnson

NSW Cup 2025
Caught up on a few of the games and the most consistent player over the last 8-12 games would be Semisi Kioa, can break tackles and has decent footwork, he has a few errors in his game but if he can get a full offseason under his belt and be a full time player his game would go to another level...- Dion Johnson

The senior leadership group have been poor for the last four weeks of football, no inspirational moments that can get the team back winning after the Storm flogged them at home, Turbo is the best chance this squad have got to get back winning, he should be captain for me.- Dion Johnson

NSW Cup 2025
Schoupp looks to be in some trouble, haven’t seen it yet but this is from the match report. 10 minutes into the second half, the Manly Sea Eagles were left with a 12 men as centre Aaron Schoupp was dramatically sent from the field. A spear tackle on Raiders Michael Asomua saw the referee Chis...- Dion Johnson

First coach sacked.
Sacking O’Brien or Seibold after round seven, especially when their teams reached the semi-finals last season, may not be justified. Early-season struggles can stem from various factors, including injuries, fixture difficulties, or issues not directly related to coaching performance...- Dion Johnson

Yes, when you are struggling with a bad run of injuries to field a competitive team, why would you risk the chance of further injuries?- Dion Johnson

[Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates
I like Jake he is an outstanding person and clubman, passionate and bleeds Manly. For me it’s Turbo who I think should be club captain, he has a high footy IQ and provides inspirational plays that not many in the game can do and that’s not a knock on the others it’s Turbo being so good.- Dion Johnson

[Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates
Turbo has many attributes to his game,.the most important aspect he will fill when he returns is the on field leadership that has disappeared without him, DCE, Jake and Haumole haven’t delivered.- Dion Johnson

NRL Games [Round 7, 2025]
Warriors are blessed with some quality young forwards coming through, Halasima could be anything only 19 still, Vaimauga, Laban, Eddie Ieremia-Toeava he is the one I think Manly should go after, very good defender and a tackle busting edge forward and Kayliss Fatialofa. The Warriors, Rorters...- Dion Johnson
