    2 worst issues at Manly today - outside Defence

    The attempt to shift the ball and play sideways before earning the right and firstly winning some momentum through the middle. Yes there were arguably without the 3 best front rowers in Paseka, Aloiai and Jake.....but still need to go forward to give your back's space Even last night the 1st...

    Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle

    The Manly middle is near the worst defensively in the NRL and take Jake out - it is.... So slow to get up and the dummy half is already in motion as they struggle to get onside....and when there is an odd decent tackle and win contact, still allow the attacker to win the ruck and play it fast...

    Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out

    They say you always get something out of a loss, personally I don't find much good out of it, though you can reflect on where the opposition exposed your defence.... Regardless of Anderson scoring 10 tries and Howarth burning Garrick 2nd half, the real leaks started centrally....and who better...

    Massive turning point today

    Look we were smoked Storm came to town and killed us But 1 thing After falling behind after a 3 try blitz 1st half, Manly kicked hard and finished the half well on top though down 18 - 10 Early 2nd half, Ben T gets tackled half way with Jerome Hughes, hanging on like a leach, Ben plays it "with...

    Is 'The Bull" the Most improved player in NRL

    Well played Bullemore ! The Silvertails tells a story of a bloke who has been damaging in recent times and deserves the accolades. Had the attributes, but lacked effort early days at Manly, but credit where due, has a big motor and is quite fast, plus he is hitting harder defensively and post...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    To Boo DCE starting this Sunday is not the way to go....in fact I reckon Eels fans will enjoy it, but I have high doubts the other Manly players will appreciate it. Still wearing the Seaeagles emblem, he is still part of Manly in 2025 and "IF" he is in opposition colours in 2026, that's the time...

    What a Hoppatunity !!

    The Turbo is out and we need some hero's to stand up Sunday, enter Lehi Hopoate ....... As always the engine room is the place this starts and ends....but the importance of the 1 in the modern game is a match breaker more than ever. The young man in the Hot seat has all the skills to get it done...

    The ruck interpretation kills us

    I see Manly lose on both sides of the coin in recent seasons In attack, opposition like NZ tonight, seem to get away with holding us down. I feel every supporter can claim this at times, but when it happens to Manly, it continues all game and there are errors and pushed plays in the back of it...

    Frustrating game lacking resilience

    Firstly Manly were expecting to just rock up and "outscore" NZ Well to play the flash you need to Win the bash Manly didn't handle the physical exchanges and the latitude given to the NZ defence, where the champion teams take on the bad calls and get pi""ed off, showing the resilience to simply...

    > Siosiua Taukeiaho <

    Big bloke played unreal Ran with vigour but smarts looking for offloads, which is 100 % what Manly need to go next level....you don't break down Penrith, Storm without 2nd phase play Felt he was exceptional last night and deserves some recognition

    It's a "Big year" or "Bust" for Aloiai !!

    Every now and then Aloiai comes up with a strong game....even a couple in a row. But I'm gunna call it straight up, has been very disappointed with majority of his time at Manly. He had that enforcer type of image based on some tough rugged games for the battling Tigers and seemed a likely...

    Brailey on outer at Newcastle

    I doubt we are still searching for a 9, but Brailey is a reasonably good quality all round dummy half with great service Whispers growing Kinights are keen to see him look elsewhere Couple of Manly things- already have a few vying for this role now so depth seems ok, but not at that standard...

    Is the comp more even in 2025

    Have seen in recent years aside from Penrith dominating, that by mid season it gets pretty obvious which 2 - 4 teams will fight it out ..... mainly Penrith who have dominated and though will no doubt again be in the mix, personally feel they may do it tougher than many pundits predicting they...

    I see Top 4 and expect it

    This side not only has potential, but key players everywhere This is gunna be a great season and I'm not usually game to come on here and claim it if not Brace yourself for nothing less than a Top 4 finish From Finals..... it's anyone's But I reckon we are starting in a great position 💯 🙌

    Oka Leadership role a great move

    Big Oka has been easily our Best forward the past 2 years and now is rewarded with a Vice Captaincy role. For a bloke who has come so far I feel it's a great reward and a worthy decision also. His powerful impact on every game offers X factor also and this added responsabilty does not so much...

    Most 'Important" position in modern NRL

    The game has changed vastly to the point Star fullbacks command Monster $$$ as are involved far more than chiming into the backline, kick returns and last line of defence as now ball play and more involved ....heck your wingers are now the biggest inflences on momentum at times and used to be...

    Hoppa "MUST" be in the 17

    Watching over a few 2024 games and Hoppa in his debut season was nothing short of outstanding. Has every quality to be the Best Hopoate to put on a Manly jersey and I realise he is still young and has time to grow.....but I really feel he has to find a position in the 17, it's a hard juggle from...

    Can Taukeiaho & Tevaga add that "Brown" impact ?

    The off season signings of the 2 experienced forwards Taukeiaho and Jazz Tevaga had had mixed reviews. Can these players add what Brown gave Manly in 2024 with that impact off the bench, in fact will they even make the top 17 ? I believe they have been signed to play significant roles...

    We were blessed at centre

    Watching some old games Mick O'Connor What a freak He joins us 1987 and win and MASSIVELY part of that I'd add Shearer but he played everywhere Then Lyon who imo was just ridiculous So skilful and if he was a hog would have doubled his tries Let's hope our 2025 centres can show this type of...
