    Kick Offs

    The ‘powers that be’ are trying to reduce head injuries through contact, and that’s all good, but, where does it stop? What about a Burton bomb and the impact on the fullback and wingers from the chasing mass? Do we stop that as well?

    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...

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    Lehi has the skill to play centre, he just needs to bulk up a bit. I think the idea of Tommy and Lehi switching occassionally during a game is a great idea. Garrick has to be in the side justr for his goal kicking, however, I agree with most that his best position is on the wing. That would...

    Club News 2024

    From The Daily Telegraph SEA EAGLES Their first intake of players are back into it on November 21 with the rest of the squad, including PM’s XIII players Reuben Garrick and Luke Brooks, not due back until early December. Veterans Jake Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans will also return in...

    Ben Hunt?

    It all depends on what the Broncos do with Ezra Mam, who clearly has some issues, and given he was apparently drug affected (not proven yet), unlicensed (proven), crashed into a car carrying a child (proven), who thankfully was not seriously injured, albeit broken bones. For the normal person...

    Tanah Boyd

    I am glad he's not with us. I think Flanagan may look at Latu Fainu as an option, as he knows him well from his time at Manly, and there's certainly some 'roadblocks' for Latu at the Tigers with Luai and Galvin. I am not sure, however, I don't think the Tigipes have extended Sione Fainu's...

    Good or bad idea?

    I wonder, if he signs, that he'll try and suddenly be sick so he can miss the pre-season 'days of terror' for newbies, and rather attend a rock concert instead? If he is signing, and that's a big maybe, that would mean Lodge is definitely gone and we may be shopping Sipley, Matterson and James...

    2025

    I actually think DCE will retire from representative football for 2025, which will make him available for Manly in all games in 2025. The big question is how many games will Turbo play? However, we now have Hoppa, who can replace Turbo when Turbo is absent. I keep on saying that our right side...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    If Bateman joins the Sea Eagles, I would have him at 13 and move Jake to Prop. I'd have Bateman covering the right side in defence to plug those gaps that DCE and Garrick leave and that gives us a right edge which I'd change up a bit of Olakau'tu, Bateman, DCE, Garrick and Saab. DCE, Garrick...

    Turbo Australia

    I thought Turbo was outstanding on the weekend, and poor Timoko will have his hands full against Turbo on Sunday. I believe in 2026, Turbo will be in the centres for Manly and young Hoppa or Koula will be fullback, probably Hoppa.2025 will be status quo. Mind you, that risky intercept by...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The one thing we have to do is tighten the defence on our right edge. I don’t care who fills the role, however, it is an issue. If Haumole moves to the left edge that may be the answer.

    DCE, Turbo and Seibold

    I think Jake is the type of person who would take a salary cut if the club needed him to, just as Turbo tried to do, however, was not allowed to by the NRL. DCE on the other hand, I would doubt would accept a pay cut from his contract, as he is in the 'business of playing NRL', knows his career...

    Voss commentary

    I still reckon Rex Mossop was the best commentator of all time! He just kept me in stitches of laughter. ‘Let me recapitulate back to what I was saying previously! He was the absolute master of tautology!. ‘Well that was an absolute waste.of a kick, straight down field and into the arms of the...

    Don't forget Froggy

    Yes, a good game from Froggy yesterday. No doubt the 40:20 attempt was a planned move, as he has done it before successfully. Unfortunately, he just didn’t connect. There’s no doubt the team value his contribution. Most of the guys were at Freshy this morning having coffee at Pilu, and all...

    The scales of Reuben.

    Lehi is going to 'bulk up' over the off season and you just cannot leave him out of the team, however, while at winger or stand in fullback occasionally, he has such 'silky hands' and is a great defender, so I would swap he and Garrick in 2025. Garrick goes back to the left wing outside Lehi...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    I'd love to see the intercept numbers for DCE, as I am sure he has plenty, and unfortunately, that's what he is mostly looking for when he leaves the structured line. When it works, he is a genius, however, when it doesn't, he is left looking like a 'Goose' and it just creates issues for the...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Yep, my stuff up! However, Manly were ahead of the Tigpies in all grades before the games and they won the previous Flegg game in the season 50-30 against Balmain. They averaged over 40 points against them in the last 6 games, so something must have been amiss with injuries or whatever, however...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Yep, just like 1st Grade, Tigpies were coming last in Flegg, just like the women with Tigpies coming last. A crazy weekend where Manly did not win one game and were supposedly superior in all games. Crazy!

    Navren Willett

    The club may see him as a similar player to Shaun Lane, when he bulks up.
