    You make some fair points, but I think you’re still overplaying it massively. Every halfback can have games where they go quiet or get exposed defensively, especially against the top sides. The difference is DCE has had far more of those games than Fogarty over the years. Singling out Fogarty...

    I’ll take what you say with a grain of salt, as I’ve noticed over the years you’re a pretty avid pro-DCE fan on here. But I still want to put these stats out there for everyone else to see, because they clearly dispel the idea that DCE is “so far ahead it’s not funny.” Fogarty is the halfback...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Another player I’d be looking at for next year is Ativalu Lisati from Melbourne. He’s a 24-year-old second rower — tough, hard working, very mobile. Not sure how many of you watched last night’s game, but I saw a couple really nice things from him that I liked. He scored a really solid...

    2026 ( the Nostradamus thread )

    Willett, Zaidas, Laiafi all confirmed to be top 30 next year, but I’m unsure about Large. Others on ST have mentioned he’s signed on a top 30 until end of 2028 but don’t know how accurate that is. Paul Bryan is another one I’m not 100% on but my understanding is that he’s a direct swap for...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yes good pick up. Forgot about him. I believe it was announced as being a reserve grade or train and trial type contract, similar to what Lodge is on at the moment. So minimum wage I’m assuming.

    [Resurrected] Zach Dockar-Clay

    Played 16 games for first grade for the Roosters first grade side this year… he’s also played 130 games of reserve grade across his career, so definitely NSW Cup standard at the very least. No where near Ron Massey level. He’s an upgrade on GCKT that’s for sure. Much more versatile too, with the...

    Hugo Hart 2025 tries

    Yeah good pick up. My main point is that the best clubs always have a steady stock of players in every position coming through year after year. Manly, on the other hand, have only just started to sign a handful of young guns over the past year, and we’ve had nothing announced so far this year...

    Hugo Hart 2025 tries

    Unsure what your point is here. Munn is a prop and Dowell is a halfback, so they’re completely different positions. On top of that, Munn also played across three grades in one season and managed to win Best and Fairest in two of them. That’s exactly the kind of junior you should be rewarding...

    Callum Dowell has just won the Jersey Flegg Players’ Player award and Campbell Munn picked up the Best and Fairest. That makes it two years in a row where both of Flegg’s top award winners are leaving the club — last year it was Lenaz and O’Donnell, now this year it’s Dowell and Munn. There is...

    Current SG Ball captain and prop Campbell Munn has signed a two-year deal with Canberra starting next year. Real shame, as he’s risen quickly through the grades — captaining Harold Matts in 2023, winning the SG Ball Players’ Player award earlier this year, then going on to play Jersey Flegg and...

    Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]

    I’m actually really keen to see how Faulalo goes in the centres – I reckon it’s his best position. Played really well there a couple weeks ago in Cup inside Willett. Just heard Schoupp is heading to the UK next year while Faulalo’s obviously been re-signed for another two seasons, so it makes...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Wow, these young guys are seriously slick. Walsh and Zaidas are combining beautifully in Cup today — both are absolute musts for first grade next year. If you’re keen, I’d encourage you to check out the highlights on the BarTV website. They post 1-minute clips after each try, showing the full...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Looking more and more likely that Croker will be medically retired at the end of this season – I doubt we see him play again. Lodge also looks set to re-sign on a Top 30 deal for next year. Based on a Manly article earlier this season, it sounds like Zaidas will be upgraded to Top 30 for 2026...

    NSW Cup 2025

    The stats don’t lie – absolute workhorse, barely misses a tackle either. Sykes is another one who’s a real goer and hits hard in defence. Two blokes who wouldn’t look out of place in first grade and are definitely a step in the right direction when it comes to the modern-day type of forward...

    NSW Cup 2025

    I’m curious – if you don’t value anyone’s opinion on players in reserve grade or their form, and Seibold won’t play Navale in first grade either, then how are you supposed to make a fair assessment of him as a player? If you’re not going to take on board what others are saying, then at least...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Please watch a bit more of him in NSW Cup before making calls like that – otherwise you really just end up sounding like fools. You can’t judge a bloke off a 15 minute stint in first grade. Anyone who actually follows reserve grade and the junior pathways knows he would offer a genuine point of...

    NSW Cup 2025

    For me, the most impressive stats there have to be Mafoa’s. Just his third game back in the NSW Cup side and he’s already putting up numbers like that. He turns 22 this year, so he’s definitely old enough for a debut if he’s ready – and I reckon he should get a crack before Laiafi. Looks like...
