The Haumole Bible.
Have noticed the last two weeks the lack of early ball Haumole is getting on the right edge, DCE is not using him effectively in the opposition 20, all that early ball today and nothing executed. I would like to see him on the left edge occasionally when they are attacking in the opposition 20.- Dion Johnson

Post-Game Discussion Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]
Ordinary game, lucky the Gummies are struggling also, could have been a lot more points put on. The attack has been struggling and today it showed up, one try from a kick and the other two from an intercepts, Brooks and Talau got lucky with that, though both Brooks and DCE were well below par...- Dion Johnson

MVP: Rd 6 v Sharks
3. Aloiai, looking for a middle to standup and he did that, had a decent go. 2. Faulalo, finished well and looked likely running the ball. 1. Bully, put in with his defensive work today to complement his running game. Thought Simpkins went well and he really should be starting.- Dion Johnson

Game Day: Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]
Looking for the intercept, the last couple of games Brooks, Faulalo and now Talau looking for the big play and creating an uneven defensive line.- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]
A fair few of the other 16 players could learn a thing or two watching how much aggression Haumole tackles with, gone passive the middles and hopefully they have some intensity with their defence tomorrow.- Dion Johnson

2026 recruitment & retention
Yes I seen him play in round one against the Bulldogs and last week against the Eels, good ball runner who bends the line, solid enough in defence and has a good offload, the Dragons are stacked with young edge and middle forwards, the pick is probably Halangahu but he is signed longer term...- Dion Johnson

NRL Games [Round 6, 2025]
Panthers lacking aggression in their defence, Martin and Henry have a decent crack though they look to be in need of a dominant front rower, JFH is a bigger loss than I originally thought.- Dion Johnson

2026 recruitment & retention
The Dragons have some very good younger forwards that looks impossible for them to keep them all and bring them into first grade in the same time frame. Finau Latu and Nick Tsougranis off contract at the end of season, and would have a clearer path to first grade at Manly, competing with Egan...- Dion Johnson

Jamal Fogarty
Strange that the club when they recruited Arthur they haven’t put the effort in developing him into this backrow role that they purchased him for. He goes to the line very well and can create opportunities, I would have liked the club to have given him an opportunity in the backrow to see how...- Dion Johnson

The Haumole Bible.
That was a great debut, there was something about him back then, poor old Dessie going for JetSki after that debut was hard to fathom back then. If he can convince his Tongan team mate in Katoa to join from the Dolphins that would make a great week!- Dion Johnson

Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out
It took me a while to see this in Ben T and the thread on him to 13 changed my mind after watching him this season, I think you could get a good 50-55 minutes out of him in the middle.- Dion Johnson

Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out
That first 20 minutes the Storm dominated the ruck and made the middle forwards look even slower, when Bully and Brown came on they managed to wrestle the middle back and got some good go forward and ruck speed. The take away for me from that game is Bully needs to be tried as a starter, I...- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]
Navale is a development player, though the wording has changed from development to supplementary player. Supplementary List players (formerly known as development players) are eligible to play in the NRL from Round 1 of the season. This is a key distinction from the "Training Contracts"...- Dion Johnson

Massive turning point today
They also had a large turnover of players that have enabled them to do that, they had nothing to lose as they were running at the bottom end of the table. The Dogs were ruthless in cutting players and moving them on, maybe that’s what’s needed at the club and they are starting with letting DCE...- Dion Johnson
