    This team are also rans!

    I agree change is needed though on Patolo he hasn’t done anything worth noting in NSW cup this season. I would prefer they looked at Sykes and Dunford, both move laterally better.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    My thoughts with Garrick and Koula is they would attract the right money without having to pay freight, I think you would be paying heavy freight on Jake for another club to take on. That three year NRL deal on Waddell is astonishing, maybe a three year train and trial deal I would have...

    Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle

    I agree they got done in the middle the first forty and the Dragons were consistently winning field position throughout the game. The second forty the middle did perform better, I don’t know how but it would be worthwhile looking at it again. A chance for a couple of younger players next week...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    They mentioned round 8 during the week and they desperately need him, the problem will be if he comes back being to conservative.

    Galvin

    Lehi Hopoate, Ethan Bullemor, Clayton Faulalo, Luke Brooks, Tommy Talau, Haumole, Tent and Saab I think have performed better and grown their games.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    I don’t think they missed Jake tonight. I would not extend the following players, Aaron Schoupp Aitasi James Daly Cherry-Evans Dean Matterson Gordon Chan Kum Tong Jazz Tevaga Michael Chee Kam Raymond Vaega Toafofoa Sipley Out of the above only DCE is on decent dollars, need more...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I don’t know how but they held better in the second half, the loss of Jake didn’t hurt as much as the loss of Bully for me.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Got hammered through the middle in the first forty and somehow did well to concede only the one try. Loss of Bully hurt and a few forced changes with injury and suspension could see some younger forwards get a run, Sipley, Bully and Jake out potentially. Halves were disappointing with the...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Looked like Tevega jumped out of the line on the inside to me.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    He has had so many chances the last two weeks and finally he hit Hoppa running straight.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    If the club miss out on Fogarty, Jake Clifford is not signed for next season, he is a hot and cold type player that does possess a good general kicking game, plays on the right edge and could fill a gap for a season or two. Not the worst of footballers and won’t break the bank.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Both have been poor for me, to lateral and no shape with the attack, over 550 first grade games between them and getting outshone by a pair of struggling halves.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    The halves have left off where they were last week, very poor again in the red zone, Bully gives them something in the middle, outside of that Haumole is playing poorly tonight and they don’t look likely in breaking the defensive line.

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    No Turbo and these other leaders are not delivering again.

    Galvin

    He has been good for Manly Seibold, he is one of the better visionaries in the coaching game, I do like how he is backing the young halves publicly and building around them, it will give confidence to other up and coming younger players to consider playing at Manly when the coach will give you a...

    Croker

    He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee before Christmas 2024.

    Croker

    Simpkins defence has been one of the better areas of his game, his defence compared to Tevega is better. Simpkins 190 tackles made and 12 misses. Tevega 131 tackles made 13 misses. He may well be overrated, though he is the best of the bunch at the club for me at nine.

    Who are the media mouthpieces for?

    Dean Ritchie has been in full support of the Rorters of late with his articles and defending them on their recruitment on NRL 360, uncle Nick has him singing and dancing to his music now..

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Agree that’s why I suggested edge and middle forwards that are young and have a high likelihood to succeed in first grade. If it means freeing up money I would look at releasing Garrick and Koula to facilitate better forwards.

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    I like how Seibold gives younger players a shot, Hoppa I understand that they are giving him a shot to grow into the one jumper. The problem I see is the seasoned players not performing well enough and they don’t have the upside they once could offer, Tevega, Brown, Sipley, and Jake T are off...
