    Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    Glad they didn't risk Haumole in a game we are no chance. He needs to be fit and firing for us to be any chance at all of squeezing into the 8. Storm by plenty via slaughtering our weak backrow/ centre defensive combinations on both sides. Fear this may be worse than the home game against the...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Get most of your points but this “ injury crisis” stuff is a red herring Ola had missed the last two games ( which we ironically won) so not sure why he is on list Paseka was a big loss as , despite his limitations , he is clearly our best prop. Aloia is a decent player but has been a...

    All NRL Games [Round 18, 2025]

    I can deal with Latu leaving as we have some good options but letting go Samuela and having to watch Burbot and the Duck run inside out flower pot lines at left second row brings a grown man to his knees.

    Game Day: Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Tom to confirm the decision to play him centre is the right one today against a makeshift backline This is the long term future Not sure it will be enough to overcome our poor pack though - SKO and Bully will be carrying a lot of weight to make up for the others Manly by 4

    Burbo

    He is average at best and indicative of what we have come to accept as good enough. Would not make any top 8 side starting 13. Similar to Croker - “ trying hard” is good enough.

    Also shows a lot of confidence from the kid taking a chance and rejecting an offer. Lord knows we need some confidence and steel in our pack.Too many choir boys.

    If Croker gets picked again as starting 9 over Simpkins then any doubts about Siebold being a fool will be gone. And he is worse as a 14 as offers zero in terms of impact. Don’t think Simpkins is the absolute answer either but at least he is a hooker and he shows improvement. Tuesday will tell...

    Can we all just agree Croker is not the answer ? How much evidence is needed. He’s not good enough and is getting bashed every week. If he’s in our plans then we have the wrong plan. The fact we are chasing the Tiger kid suggests they have finally realized the obvious, 5 years too late.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Why does Brooks always use Burbot and rarely Koula. Burbot either runs that predictable slow outside in line or crabs sideways to cramp the outside backs / fullback.Plus he just has zero intimidation. It’s like having a Ferrari in the shed and using the Datsun. It is f..ing ridiculous and must...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Outside of the errors I’d encourage people to take a closer look at the width and speed of his passing game tonight and compare it to Croker’s. It’s chalk and cheese. I cannot understand Siebolds obsession with Croker especially with Simpkins showing obvious signs of improvement. Croker is slow...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Writing Da Silva off after one ordinary game with half the spine out is ridiculous. Outside a couple of communication mixups which is understandable given the halves he had, look at his passing from dummy half. It’s crisp and has a lot of width. Having him , Simkins and with Large in the wings...

    Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    I’d suggest there are a few other rounds screaming “what about me”in that regard.

    Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Jerome out I think we win despite the weak pack. Think Tommy to 4 will be a game changer in future for us. Won’t beat the contenders but might get us the two points v Tigers/ Dragons/ Dolphins Then again we could get slaughtered

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    The gifted backline with Tommy where he should be will be why we win if we do. Forwards are atrocious and extrapolating anything into the future re our pack based on beating the tigers is absolute folly.

    Inside the meeting that could redefine Trbojevic’s NRL career

    Hope this is permanent. IMO gives us a really potent three quarter line with the bonus of hsving Garrick play where he should be playing. Levi is a superstar. With a conventional halfback like Fogarty feeding these guys I think we could lay claim to a top 4 backline. Forwards are...

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Two or three bad injuries over a year is basically a given for every team.Can hardly say Aloia is a champion. He is normally bagged on here every second week. He is ok but if a side can’t handle losing a good prop and an average first grader in the pack then it probably shows exactly where we...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Agree with the overall sentiment but that forward pack beats no top side when the whips are cracking playing sides desperate for 1-6 positions. Tommy at 4 should have them in with a chance to beat Tigers / Dragons and rough hope v dolphins. 13th to 16th finish

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Hard to watch this guy get smashed every week. Does nothing for his future health at a personal level and totally stymies our team as it’s close to the most pivotal position in a team these days. He is just not good enough to do the job. It’s so frustrating they have persisted with him for...
