    Jake T.

    Realistically what can we do with Jake? Anything less than a playing contract would be somewhat offensive if he wants to play on. He's not a modern lock, doesn't make enough meters to play prop and doesn't have the impact to come off the bench - I really just don't see anywhere he can add...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Siebold is stuck between a rock and a hard place considering he won't have an opportunity to build a roster of his own until 2027, if he can last that long.

    Is this where we are headed ( NRL)

    They're both owned by billionaires with an interest in rugby league, not to mention the Storm is one of two (previously?) majority News Corp owned teams - they're going to run a tight ship, that's a given. These are the things that get deals over the line now, it's all corporate connections and...

    Is this where we are headed ( NRL)

    It will probably come down to the clubs who can manipulate the salary cap the best, which is also probably nothing new. We're currently watching the Penrith dynasty be ripped apart by the Bulldogs, etc, as they should in the spirit of the salary cap. I could see teams like Melbourne, Roosters...

    Garrick

    Huh, could've sworn I made a thread about our goalkicker for next year discussing this and got shouted down. We're paying Garrick a premium for his 'versatility' and goalkicking, both of which have statistically been in decline since his debut. The reality is he's a winger, and a really good...

    Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    The team will remain unchanged outside of any un-availabilities due to injury. It's a funny game because we're still amongst it for a top 8 spot, and the Roosters are one of our competitors in this regard so beating them would definitely go a long way to securing that. It's obvious something...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Saab has more faults in his game than strengths, and he's not a bad player. Tommy Talau brings a different energy and grit in contrast to Saab who is almost a 'glamour' player. I imagine the internal team cliques and close teammates Saab has somewhat influence his selection however, I think...

    2026 Goalkicking

    Just to clarify I'm not saying Garrick is a bad player at all, I'm simply presenting the statistics and asking the question whether Jamal is a better option for the team.

    Jamal Fogarty

    Fogarty isn't the same class of player that DCE is, but with Turbo moving out to the centres we've given ourselves another ball player. Credit to the club, Fogarty is a professional.

    He wanted to leave and is leaving for the Roosters, it's old news even when it officially gets announced.

    2026 Goalkicking

    With Jamal Fogarty joining us in 2026 it opens up discussion around who will be goalkicking next year. Garrick has gotten 76.42% in 2024 and 74.39% so far this year, in comparison to Fogarty with 80.00% and 78.57% respectively. If you take it back even further, Fogarty has been kicking at...

    Lodge, you Monster

    I'll go back and rewatch it sometime because everyone seems to have the opposite opinion, and it's more than likely I'm wrong if that's the case. At the time I thought he was put on report for a hip drop tackle, and when I saw the brief replay I thought he was going for 10 or more. I was then...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Yeah I have. And yeah it's textbook. His feet left the ground with his arms around the ball carriers waist, then he fell onto his opponents lower legs with his body weight. I think you're misunderstanding my point, you can argue the game has gone soft elsewhere but I'm saying it dumb because...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Doing a textbook hip drop tackle which has apparently torn an opponents MCLl ligament is not tough, he played fine apart from that. The suspension that is going to follow and hurt the team is why I'm giving the halfwit a hard time.

    Lodge, you Monster

    If Cheese has really done an MCL, Lodge is gone for 6 to 8 weeks lol. Legitimately an idiot and danger to himself and others.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Well I said South 13+ and they've gone and made me look silly - I'm glad haha. A win is a win!

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

    I hope we win but like I said before, that pack is a sight for sore eyes. We've got a bloke who no one wanted that's on a train and trial as one of our starting props. Outside of Bullemor and maybe Jazz I don't think a single one of them would get a top 17 spot elsewhere. If we're going to...

    Tigers sign Feledy

    As much as I agree isn't he signed on decent money until like 2029? I can't see anyone picking him up for anything close to giving us value. They'll probably do something dumb like release Tolu. I firmly believe Siebold has no ****ing idea what he's doing and is on thin ice, based on the fact...

    Sack Ciraldo

    Galvin left the Tigers because there was an internal clique in the team which decided to push him out for whatever reason, in addition to the coach not supporting him because the clique in-players are the ones who call the shots for the whole team now. He doesn't look to be ostracised with...
