    Paul Kent in trouble again

    He sounds like a man with some demons and a lot of issues to work through. All the best to him and hopefully he can grow from this very public fall from grace.

    'Skipping' runs - Koula Garrick Saab and others

    I am OK with backs that want to skip/step/change direction etc. I do get annoyed watching Sipley and Josh A (sometimes) skipping before the line, rather than running hard. The problem is they inevitably have a slow play the ball after getting pushed back and wrestled to the ground, and we lose...

    MVP: Rd 15 v Dragons

    Haumole - best forward on the field DCE - great game management Lawton - some incisive runs and set up a try. Busy all game.

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

    I think we have an attack that can troubles the very best defences, however our middle can't match it against the very best teams. The penrith forwards and back 3 made incredible yardage through our middle and dominated field position. We couldn't stop their roll-on or match their metres when...

    Game Day: Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

    I know he has some fans here, but Sipley isn't in our top 17. Soft euns, poor mobility and minimal linespeed.

    LOL @ Tigers

    There were rumours earlier in the year that manly were after him. He looks a pretty good prospect to me, and i suspect he will grow into an outstanding ball playing lock. It is possible this agitation for a release, co-ordinated by Isaac Moses, could see him land at manly.

    Aaron Schoupp

    As a depth signing this may turn out OK. I can't explain the poor recent form with the titans, but at the bulldogs he was an aggressive and bustling "in your face" style of centre. If we can get him back to his best he may be a decent back-up player.

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I see the losses this year (particularly in games we should have won) and our mixed form in recent years through a different lense. Manly lack real "mongrel" across our roster; the type of players who never give in, and want to win at any cost. Wayne Bennett and the dolphins recruitment was...

    Tommy Talau

    I have been pleasantly surprised at his transition to the wing and what he has contributed. He runs hard and has looked pretty good under the high ball. Not as fast as Jaxson Paulo, but he brings more energy and intensity. Definitely an upgrade on Christian T.

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    I think we lack a few "never give up,never give in" players, especially in the forwards. In years gone by, when manly was under the pump, it was guys like Matai and Watmough who would do the tough runs out of our own territory etc. They didn't do it sporadically (like some of our current...

    We are embarrassing - winning the comps is years away.

    Our forwards looked flat and didn't run as hard as Canberra's forwards. Our defensive line speed wasn't great either.

    Jake Arthur

    Strange is a real talent and an exciting ball runner. I can see why the raiders moved quickly to extend his contract.

    Garricks performance at centre

    Garrick looks to be someone always trying improve his game. I remember it wasn't that long ago he was getting ragged dolled in attack, yet we don't see that now. I suspect he will be working extra hard and hopefully forming a more cohesive defensive unit with DCE and saab.

    And also Te Maire, who can be a fragile defender.

    Coaches

    Taking into account the quality and depth of the roosters squad, and given their relatively poor results over the last few seasons, Robbo really should be under the pump too.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Panthers [Round 5, 2024]

    Waddell played well again. He is proving to be an astute signing.
