    The BIGgest defensive flaw

    Couldn’t agree more, Maxta. It’s why I am a huge fan of JFH as he leads the line speed and makes heavy first contact. Penrith’s line speed has been the catalyst for their success, as much as anything else.

    I don’t mind new threads for new ‘news’. There does come a time for a merge of threads though.

    DCE is a top 10 halfback of the last 25 years, but I’m not sure that qualifies as a ‘great’. His comparable is Brett Kimmorley in my eyes.

    Tom and Jake

    It’s fine to question a player’s form/performance, value for money with respect to the salary cap or role within a team. That comes with professional sport and the players know that. But the vitriol, abuse and defamatory statements (eg, saying a player is deliberately throwing games) hurled at...

    See that offload from Kelma Tuilagi? Can’t believe we let him go! 😉

    All NRL Games [Round 24, 2025]

    Warriors have fallen off a cliff these past few weeks. It’ll happen when you lose a quality front rower and your first choice halfback. Come to think of it, so did we either Paseka getting injured and DCE going on long service leave.

    I was more focusing on the establishment of the system and what helped to entrench its foundations.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Re Melbourne, they clearly have a great system. But the initial investment in the system was built on assembling a squad well over the salary cap. We will never know, but I suspect that the Storm system would not be what it is today without the early years of ‘financial juicing’ and the on field...

    You hit the nail on the head with him being sucked in by being a headline story

    Saying BW is an upgrade is the most cutting ‘diss’ of DCE I’ve read on here!

    Transparency is a critical leadership attribute.

    If we drop DCE, we will get lambasted in the media for treating a ‘club legend’ with extreme disrespect. It will be brutal. But for me, it all depends on what he does next and this is where he is being selfish by not declaring what he is doing. If he is going to retire, my view is 340+ games...

    Klemmer?

    Some will say he is playing for a contract … I don’t mind some seasoned forwards in the squad. It’s the lack of young talented forwards coming through for the older players to mentor that is the concern.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Flanno is a much better coach. But at the time when Seibs was appointed, Flanno was damaged goods. No club at the time was interested in him as a head coach, and while we could have sacked Seibold after 1 season in charge to appoint Flanno full time, that would have been bizarre (even for Manly)!

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    As I said, I’m not defending him as a coach. I’m just don’t think much of the comments about him being interested in other roles in a football club. In saying that, I don’t really care either what he says in a press conference. Talk is cheap. What matters in onfield performance, which we all...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Personally think too much is made about this. Coaching is brutal and he has already gone through the wringer once before. I’d go as far as to say if any coach didn’t have a Plan B that would be crazy - they have families and they are often the primary bread winner, so need to think long term. I...

    Time to pull the trigger

    It’s a no brainer. I wouldn’t blood them all at once, but 2-3 each week would be fine. Losing is much easier to take when you see that it is part of planning for the future.

    Jake T.

    Is it 3 category 1s this year and 4 in the last 12 months? I’d shut his season down now as there is no point taking a risk on his health when we are already done and dusted.

    Jake T.

    The disrespect shown to Jake is astounding. Sure, comment on his form (which is objectively nowhere near what it used to be, probably because of all the years he put the team on his back and carried them forward), but the abuse and derision towards him by some on here is so petulant. A...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    If we are to sack Seibold, I’m hoping the Cowboys sack Payton first. None of the ‘next best’ candidates who do not currently have a first grade gig fill me with any confidence, so if Payton became available I would be ok if we got him. It’s a no to Ballin at this stage for me. As other’s have...
