2026 recruitment & retention

[LeonardCohen]

Given how much criticism Madge copped for flogging the Broncos only for it to pay off in string of come-from-behind victories, I think plenty of other clubs are going to re-evaluate their fitness regimes.

Hopefully Siebold and Clarke aren't too clever by half in that regard.

I reckon all coaches flog their players and there’s just a media narrative around Maguire that’s gained traction. They won the comp because they have the best roster in the NRL.

.. is Seibs training it?

Just sayin’

Yer, it’s not exactly like his got the Midas touch…….

Up at Burleigh on holidays and bumped into Seibs this morning having coffee with a couple of old farts like me. So he is obviously recruiting some new forwards.😂 But seriously he is really excited about the year ahead and was rapt to see someone walking around the goldy in a Manly members hat. Like a lot of us i have reservations about his coaching ability and this year will be sink or swim. But its hard not to like the bloke really friendly.

How good.

Yes he sure seems a nice bloke. Great to hear he is excited.

Lets hope they have a good year with few injuries and a bit of luck.

Ok so we have let quite a few players go and who are we signing? Fogs, Hetherington and who of note? Next year is not that exciting Seibs!

Losses according to Zero Tackle:-

Josh Aloiai (retired), Jake Arthur (Hull FC), Michael Chee-Kam (retired), Aitasi James (released), Dean Matterson (Super XIII), Chris Patolo (Huddersfield Giants), Toafofoa Sipley (Warrington Wolves), Jazz Tevaga (Wakefield Trinity) ---- Add Tommy Talau

Gains:-

Jamal Fogarty (Canberra Raiders, 2028), Onitoni Large (2028) -------Koby Hethrington (I added that not on Zero tackle yet.)

Missing something??

Just think to yourself Dylan Lucas. And get excited.😂

It'll end up Loi Hoosi for sure

Maybe his due……..still not doin it……I’d want better than 5’s to take a punt on Seibs, in saying that, I hope it gets up for him.

Someone on twitter just said he’s heard from someone at Parra that Garrick is headed there next season.

If that was the case then there must be some horse trading with a big name forward coming in elsewhere
