    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    Well despite 65% of our cap on the side line and a heap of individual mistakes and a heavily lopsided penalty and 6-again count and with a bunch of newbies, I thought we had more than enough opportunities to win that game. So not disappointed with the teams overall effort. What I was seriously...

    Next weeks team?

    He certainly is and plays way above his weight even with a shoulder injury. I am disappointed that we don't see more of that Cherry chip-through the defensive line that gets him into open spaces more. Not only that but it puts some serious doubt into the opposition defence line...either their...

    Next weeks team?

    I get the strategy from Seibold to keep Souths guessing. Not sure that would have any bearing on the Souths game plan but who knows. Jamie Humphreys not named in Reserves and not injured so I reckon that's a lock for the young guy to play and show his wares. Huge opportunity for messrs Navale...

    Nathan Brown Impact?

    Nathan Brown Impact?

    That plus the intimidation when he runs it or tackles. Takes it to the opposition. And when he gets smashed he gets up and applauds them!!! If he lasts he could be our BK Mark 2.

    Next weeks team?

    Anything is possible this weekend given the situation. Re Tolu....I am his biggest fan but got to say been very average of late. Always seems to get the ball with 4 defenders on him so may not be entirely his fault. Not sure the team plays to his strengths in the centre so it was great to see...

    Post-Game Discussion Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

    Certainly encouraging from that perspective alone. To be 10 points shy after missing a staggering 59 tackles and missing 4 / 5? goals against a red hot Panthers side I think says something positive. Yes very obvious what we need to fix but 14 rounds in and still not fixed says something also...

    Did anyone see the game? Interested to know how Sips went.

    Jason Saab

    Good move from the Club. Baring injuries, at 23 this guy is only going to get bigger.....faster. Love the way he is rucking the ball out from our red zone this year.

    Pre-Game Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

    I reckon that would be the team to roll the Panthers. My only change would be to start Lawman and bench Simpkin.

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Ryan, you got me worried now. I am Italian and I love my pineapple on my pizza's!!!

    Turbo good to go

    I like it except for your DCE and turbo moves. I would not be putting an almost 36 year old at the tail end of his career at 9. Also I would not be putting Turbo closer to ruck where he can get bashed more easily AND in a position that requires stepping, stopping and starting from scratch and...

    Agreed. What do u do with the Turbo on return?

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Good points @Bearfax and no disagreement on any. Point 10 is the intriguing one for mine. While Turbo is out, who do you drop from the balance list. Got to be one of either Vaega or Hopa?? Tough call as both played brilliantly on the weekend. When turbo is back it gets even tougher. What do you...

    Turbo good to go

    What to do with Turbo on his return is going to be Seibold's hardest decision. After 6 hamstrings, 1 pec and 1 shoulder, I think his best days are behind him. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong here but I think that is the case. He can certainly still provide value add from FB but given...

    Little Gordie

    I like Gordie on the bench particularly with a fit Sips, Bully and Brown. Now there's impact for you. Contrary to some of the commentary on here, I actually like Gordie holding the ball from DH for that split second or two.....rather than just a straight off pass off the ground. Really puts the...

    Little Gordie

    Agreed @maxta. He adds a whole new different dimension to our attack. His defence will improve with time. Will be interesting to see if he retains that bench spot when Croker is back. You would think Lawton gets that spot?? Interesting call from the coach.

    Jason Saab

    Gutsy and gritty performance from all the boys last night but got to say Saaby made some great runs under pressure and a definite try saver tackle with the game in balance. Great return from injury. Good to have him back.

    Lehi Hopoate

    Tolu is also my favourite player in the team. Turbo definitely the more experienced but you are comparing a 21 year old rookie with very limited NRL experience (especially at FB) to a 27 y/o established Australian and SOO superstar. When Tom gets back, I would like to see Manly continue with...

    Blacktown Workers

    Yes unfortunately must agree. I watched him during our trial games and thought he needed to improve a lot for NRL. Sadly I think he has gone the other way in Reserves. Still young enough and hope he proves me wrong bigtime. But definitely not an option this year for our 17. Pity as we...
