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

    Has there been a slower, more immobile pack selected this year by any side in the NRL? Simple answer is no. Think Tom at centre is a game changer for us in the backline and might give us a chance to roll some of the weaker sides going forward but unfortunately with our draw we pretty much only...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    All the leading clubs identified mobility and speed around the ruck is the way the game is going.It was not Sherlock Holmes stuff. Siebold has instead consciously opted for ageing, size and immobility to “release our weapons “. To me that is instantly disqualifying , regardless of who is...

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

    SE8 I’m feeling it with you. Love this club and I can handle ups and downs in recruitment now and then. Some players work , some don’t. But to miss an incredibly obvious strategic change in the way the game is played, at a time when inflationary expansion clubs being admitted was equally as...

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

    Not saying we should have them specifically in our ranks. Simply pointing out this is the style of player needed in the modern game, not slow immobile geriatrics. It is an absolute gross failure to not recognise the trend like the leading clubs have.

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

    Get back to me after the stretch we have coming post tigers. Haumole is our only CLASS forward. The rest you could interchange each week and make no difference with maybe Bull being an exception. DCE is a one trick pony on the right with Haumole. Can’t wait to see Waddell steaming through...

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

    Losing Haumole has stifled us? He got injured last week? Croker and Sipley are reserve graders at every other club and if losing them “derail us” then god help us. Does anyone actually watch Croker play these days? He has zero effect in attack and regularly misses one on one tackles. The...

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    Watching those 3 young warriors backrowers , just out of their teenage years, on a split screen with Burbo and his plodding mates should be compulsory viewing for Siebold and Mestrov every morning. It is like they are playing a totally different game - how anyone ever thought this Dads army...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    It won’t get us in the 8 but surely tonight gives the green light to try Tom at centre with Lehi ( an absolute star) at 1. Tom’s injuries have brought him back to the field as an elite 1 but his size and footy nouse still make him a threat in the centres. Garrick’s flat footed miss on Kelly a...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    The game was the perfect explanation of why we are a very ordinary team No hooker - zero guile around ruck Slow immobile forwards ( third try ) Jake is barely a first grader on 900k Tom’s injuries have finally done him in No capacity to deal with momentum change / pressure Dollars has dialled...

    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    Last night playing a team decimated in the forwards who then lost their best forward in the first minute. I’m not a stats man but into the second half Dross commented we had not had a single run from Croker or his understudy( or DCE for that matter). Not a single run ! I cannot remember a run...

    Burbo

    Yep. He’s an adequate bench forward.Couid become a consistent first grade bench pig but carrying a second rower and hooker on the bench is not really a great option.Got a role to play maybe but we need a classy left side edge and top flight prop. Get those and luck with injury then top 4 isn’t...

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    He had one season at Titans with Taylor the million dollar man ahead of him. Covid hit then. Bottom line is DCE has played under Des, Barrett , Siebold over the last ten years and has achieved absolutely nothing with the overall theme of our side being inconsistency , weakness under pressure...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Agree they help .., but Newcastle had zero props and lost their best forward in the first minute.Throw in their Origin centre was missing with a turnstile in his place.

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    My answer is he will play very well and suit both our talented backs and edge forwards who are basically just bash and barge atm. At the moment Fogarty is leading a team with few stars and they are serious title contenders thst play with consistency and hardness. And please don’t come back...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Oh it was better mate but in in no way was it great. Great first halves don’t leave you with a nagging suspicion we will get run down in the second .,, something it seems almost everyone on here felt.

    What will Dollars do for the second half of season?

    With an Origin spot seemingly gone and the Roosters deal a fait accompli what will Dollars attitude be for rest of season? Will it be the usual splattering of brilliance mixed in with the brainless madness of last night that leads us to our usual 7th to 12th nuisance value finish or will the...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Can’t agree mate We should have been ahead by 30 at half time . They were awful and we wasted multiple opportunities with arrogant plays. When DCE kicked on half time I knew we would lose. I think everyone on here knew if they scored early in second half we would fold .. and we did… as we...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Yeah agree … keeping him in cotton wool has worked so well in the past lol . It’s hsrd to know but doing that fits in well with the complscency that is the hallmark of this mob , as we saw again tonight.

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    The forwards and bench are ****house , the coach’s resume is simply that of a loser, be it as defence coach, wallaby ass coach or head coach. It is obvious Siebold does not agree with the move towards faster mobile forwards and believes a hooker is just a decoration. These alone are...

    Might be safer to park at Robina Tavern and give your tickets to the barmaid. Easier to escape after Brimson’s fifth try.
