    Manly and the Top 8

    I don't think we are any chance, sad to say. That Raiders game we had enough possession generally and tackles in their 20 to win 2 games, and we could barely organise to land a blow. We will have to turn that around pretty sharp to beat even the Tiggies, which looks like no guarantee. The 8...

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    If we manage to win this game I will declare Seibold to be a Master Coach indeed!

    Aloiai Gone

    If we do sign Klemmer that to me really says that regardless of what we might think and hope the cupboard is empty money-wise.

    Aloiai Gone

    Mate we were discussing Nate "giant face" Myles the thread had wandered as Silvertails threads often do. Aloiai, I agree with you and I am on the record with rather similar comments.

    Aloiai Gone

    I always sort of hoped he might take up a bit of boxing. Watching Paul Gallen thump him would have been so great I might almost have paid up money for it.

    How many wins to make the 8?

    Getting smashed by the Roosters at home, with additional injuries, looks like the end of us for this year. I give us 0% chance against the Raiders next week, I honestly dread to imagine what our second row might look like. From there the only games that look reasonably winnable are Tigers and...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Best of luck to Tof. He has been unlucky with injuries. I am on record as saying that every year he prick teases the entire NRL with two or three good games, showing a sight of what could be, before he reverts to frustratingly average and unengaged. But credit to him, I truly felt that this...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Quite glad when that game ended. My lady hit the nail on the head when she said Manly were woeful and she felt rather offended by it. We honestly played like we had no idea, hopefully we can jag a win or two in the run to Mad Monday.

    Egrets, I've had a few...(musings and some pics)

    Surely this makes him like it even more? Only death will prise that mug from his grasp....

    Garrick

    I will be personally very sorry to see The Rubes leave, but from his point of view taking the Perth money is a good move. He is also a great pick up for them as essentially he provides cover against any recruiting problems at FB, WI or CE, he can cover all of them. I can admit the sense of it.

    MVP: Rd 21 v Bulldogs

    What a disappointing loss. I thought: 3 Lodge. He was strong for us, full credit. 2 Jake. Did what he does. I don't know how rare it is, but we are lucky to have a real 80 minute middle playing given our awful injury run. 1 GCKT encouragement award. Did his best to be a point of real...

    The Haumole Bible.

    We have a lot of money invested in Ola'k. To play him with an expectation of 90% chance of re-injury, that is in every way madness. I agree with everyone else on this.

    Des Hasler Sacked ( AGAIN)

    You know you must have lost the dressing room if they would rather head for the showers than listen to you and have a cold drink!

    Siosiua Taukeiaho

    Tbh I imagine we lose TKO next year unless we upgrade him. He's shown enough to demonstrate he is still a real NRL player, and reliable experienced props are in demand. If Aloiai is forced to retire - and updates on him seem to have gone pretty quiet - I imagine we upgrade TKO.

    MVP: Rd 20 v Storm

    Probably every man who played deserved points. I came up with: Taukeiaho - was huge for us out there. Brooks - thought he had a very influential game sweet pass to put Koula into space for a try. Quack Quack Waddell - I don't think he likes playing 2nd row nor would we normally play him...

    Boxing

    This suggests Tszyu's career might be over, three successive losses and the last two quite conclusive. Otherwise maybe he needs to consider moving to a different weight. The top fighters at his current weight look to be a bit too much for him physically.

    Last 8 Games - My Predictions

    My guess is we win 2 or 3 of the next 8. But winning only 1 a distinct possibility. Tiggies v Titans this weekend is SpoonBowl, the loser will go on to collect.
