  1. LeonardCohen

    Run Koula Run

    I’d play him at fullback because I don’t want to lose him to a team that’s looking to pay top dollar for a genuine 1. Upgrade his deal and pay Tom a centres salary and play him there for the rest of his career. I’d play Hoppa on the wing.

    Attack

    My only hope with Tom is that he’s playing slightly injured…if not, he’s a spent force. He’s not explosive enough in his current state to break tackles and that was his thing.
  3. LeonardCohen

    Attack

    I think he lacks talent but competes hard and is a solid first grader. Another yard of pace and he would turn some of those runs into genuine attacking opportunities. He sees the space and goes for it but the lack of zip and his tendency to crab back into the markers frustrates me. His service...

    Tom Trbojevic was a Legend

    In terms of performance, it’s his worst ever season. I know there have been worse seasons for injuries but around those periods of injury, he’s shown sparks. This year, he’s shown his body is falling apart and the speed is gone.

    Attack

    A big reason for last night’s loss was our back row. I’m not having a go at Waddell or Chee Kam because they tried hard and were solid but… When you have the lion’s share of the ball - 55% across the 80 minutes - you force many repeat sets, and run for over 300 more metres than the opposition...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Gus is doing well to spot one 😂

    Jake T.

    At the game and in line with Jake when he was hit by Papa. You could see it coming a mile away. The sad thing is he got knocked out putting his body on the line for our club.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    That’s assuming that (a) he’s lost the senior players and it’s not just media spin and (b) that he’s lost them on the grounds of performance and not some other reason, I.e. the personal dynamic between coach and players. I don’t have it in for Seibs but it’s pretty rare for an effective coach...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Yeah I noticed it hit a nerve; I’m no Seibs hater but he looked down and his eyes told a story. One thing I’m growing a bit of tired of is when we lose convincingly, he always reminds us that it ‘was a tough game’ and that the opposition are a ‘good side’. I think I don’t like it because I get...

    Aloiai Gone

    Stain George have been the desperados of the player market for years, signing the likes of Kyle Flanagan, Lachlan Illias, amongst other cast offs…basically, they’ve been prepared to take whatever they can get…and they don’t want David Klemmer?! Surely that speaks volumes. The other part I don’t...

    November Targets

    I’m glad we missed out on Josh Kerr. I think looks good at the Dolphins but he’s a good penalty and mistake magnet and that’ll rear its head again next year!

    Manly Coach 2026 is...

    I wouldn’t take 360 or Richie at their word; if Ennis is taking over, they’re probably under instruction to keep it hush hush…but that won’t stop them from speculating about Seibs, in order to generate a story, hence the Peters mention.

    November Targets

    Youth below it? Many clubs (even St George) have strong young middle prospects that get mentioned in ‘player to watch’ lists on the league websites. We might have a couple of young half prospects that get mentions, but there’s clearly a dearth of promising forwards at Manly. Also, other clubs...

    Aloiai Gone

    Aloiai was an amateur boxer and has never had a professional fight, so I reckon he’d struggle to give a seasoned professional like Gallen a good thumping…this is a guy that just won a fight against SBW, who most people would tip to smash Aloiai into next Tuesday. Love him or hate him, Gallen has...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Saab should be the first player on your list. He epitomises everything that’s bad about a Manly loss; a bit of flash followed by poor errors and a lack of footy awareness. You just know if it’s a tight game, he’s going to drop the ball in yardage, or butcher a certain try with a dodgy put down...

    Manly Coach 2026 is...

    My only if it’s true, is that we move the assistants on and start with a fresh football department. Dymock and Hales can go.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    I thought he’d put his best foot forward but alas, no Cinderella story here; the Shoe didn’t fit.

    Trey Mooney

    Trey is another who went to Westfields so maybe Hales can twist his arm…it didn’t work with Da Silva but sooner or later we’ll land a target…

    Jason Saab

    Do you watch our games? He’s all at sea, unless he’s running in a straight line.

    Trey Mooney

    Trey has loads of talent and is a strong competitor and leader (in junior teams). I think he’d perfect. He is mobile and can generate second phase play too. I know he played edge for a long time as a junior too.
