    Nope, apparently the less me know the better apparently. Maybe they are worried about Smoking Joe doing his analysis of the squad :)

    2026 recruitment & retention

    You make me laugh sometimes Ryan with you philosophies, and it's great entertainment. Bullemor is a genius, just like Tom, in Finance, and he will make a choice between his current Finance job and NRL, which is not the Cowboys, but rather I suspect will be Finance, and his current employers...

    One has to go ... who ?

    I don’t have any issue with Garrick in attack, it’s just defensive reads that irk me. Mind you DCE rushing out of the line doesn’t help him.

    One has to go ... who ?

    I don’t think it will be a salary cap issue, I think it will potentially be more about lack of game time and a player’s frustration. However, there’s always injuries, so they’ll probably all get at least 3/4 of the season in the starting side and that’s the upside with the great depth we’ll...

    Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)

    With Couso gone as Media Manager, they may well change the role to Social Media Relations Manager, or some other 'wanky' title', and that person will have a 'huge' role to play, with increasing interaction with members and fans, with this site and Social Media for the younger brigade of fans...

    MWSE Squad Contract Status & Top 30 List

    I think Walsh and Large may start in SG Ball, as both qualify next year, just to build cohesion between them, and then they'll move up to Flegg when it starts. While I enjoy the 'Manly Way', I would really like to see the squads for 'NSW Cup', 'Flegg' and the juniors. Who has left, who has...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Bullemor may have decided to pursue his business career, as he potentially could earn a lot more than he ever will in NRL. I had high hopes for Toff, however, his lateral movement in defence is a big weakness he has to address. Mind you, the whole damn team has to improve in defence.

    That could be the way it will be and the winger (5) will likely be Willet

    [Resurrected] Jake to HOOKER

    In my opinion Taukeiaho is basically a replacement for Lodge and providing he can stay injury free, he’ll provide better value. Tapolo could be a revelation and Navale is only going to mature. I have no concern regarding our front row, providing they stay injury free and while our options at 9...

    Jacob Arthur

    Yep, he looks like he has really ‘bulked up’. His defence has always been good and there is no doubt about his ball skills, speed and kicking game. Ian Martin made a great transition to lock, Cliffy was okay, others like Walker have been also, so hopefully Jacob gets a shot, as clearly with...

    Club News 2025

    I suspect most stuff we get as members comes from China, via an Australian company who has the contract, which is normal these days. So, with all the delays on the ports, I think that could be the issue. Caps and scarves etc cost about $5 each or less from China, so it makes economical sense...

    [Resurrected] Jake to HOOKER

    We have plenty who can play hooker with Froggy, Simkin, GCKT, Tevaga, the latter two who are internationals for Samoa and now the young guy from the Bulldogs. Should Jake play prop, ideally yes, as he did in Origin and for Australia, however, unfortunately, he is the best #13 we have at the...

    Totally agree Mark. Bullemor’s best games are in the middle and his leg speed makes a difference.

    Tevaga can play hooker Caleb Navale as lock or back row Kylan Matoa as prop Jacob Sykes as prop

    Jacob Arthur

    I suggested this last year, however, Jacob looks to really grown in body shape and while others have suggested it as well, he could well become a number 13 with his defence, passing and kicking game. I think Jake, as much as I love him and his effort and passion, has to move to the front row...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Okay, so we don't have a test player or Origin player we have signed, however, there are two young players who have immense potential and are just looking for an opportunity.and an old head who could be dominant. D'Jazirhae Pua'Avase is a potential talent, and the only reason he hasn't featured...

    After attendances this year, Penn and Mestrov must be expecting full houses at each home game, and providing the weather is good. Flegg, NSW Cup and then 1st grade, fans will pack the place.

    Onitoni Large

    Speed in NRL is not over 100m, it’s the first 10m to 15m and acceleration that makes the break. Yes, it’s great to have guys who are incredibly fast on the edges, because, when the break is made, they normally finish it. Quite a few have alluded to our lack of speed in the middle and that’s...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    I agree, Nella looked really pedestrian for Tonga, which was really odd, given some of his performances during the year for Manly. He has so much potential talent and yet just isn't really showing what he has. Hopefully in 2025 he'll really stand up and be a significant leader of the Manly...
