brad parker left training halfway through today at around 9:30 then came back when training finished at 11 which i found interesting. maybe he wasn't happy with what seibs said and stormed out? He could probably be a solid starting centre at a few clubs.
Schuster as well wasn't training today so maybe his finger injury is quite bad and the whole spine wasn't there as well with tom, brooks, cherry and croker all absent.
Humphries is like the dylan edwards of the club he consistently won all of the fitness drills and looked good playing in the 13v13 drills.
Burbo as well had to pull out unfortunately halfway through training, looked like he was holding his right hammy but didn't seem too severe probably just precaution

Bit early to talk about potential dramas at training Josh, lets wait till the week before the first trial in early Feb.

Agree. No chance A bloke like Parks spits his dummy. This is a nothing story.

To be fair, Josh is only providing his opinion on what he saw first hand.

Thank you for the updates Josh.

Humphreys had to play halfback on Browny's team as it was Arthur and Wakeham on one team and looked like matho and humphreys halves on the other team with gordie hooker for the first team and looked like kobe rugless on the other.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking with the main spine players out, that Humphreys may not simply slot into hooker.

The make up of the two teams you've described so far is sounding like it might have been a predominantly A grade team vs predominantly Ressies Yeah?

Really appreciate you sharing your observations. Your fortunate to be able to watch the boys train. Jealous even.

What a great story, thanks The Wheel and its a great read too

Brilliant story by Wayne Cousins who is now providing we fans with memorable and insightful copy. And what champions the 'push-it-up-em' family are. I thought I was an avid supporter (60+ years) but when I read about the lengths gone, and resources outlaid, by such fans I am in awe of their dedication.

How come Schu aint in this video?

All of the Ironstines here on Silvertails seem to think, that is Schu's diet.

The club was showing that they know what fans think ..... jeez, imagine the backlash, laughter, memes etc if the poor bastard was actually on that video?

Awesome story. More good work from the Manly coms team. They are smashing it out of the park this off season. Loving their work. What has changed? Is it someone new?

No basically the same crew - better access to players, coaches etc

Mestrov, and Seibold (i'm guessing but from all their public statements it seems they are focussed on bringing the focus back to the Manly community, engaging better with fans and members is part of that ( i guess)

Amazing difference. Jeez, Dessie the dinosaur must have made it hard for those guy to do their jobs. Must have been very frustrating.

Now we just need on field results to match .....

All these PR and good stories in the off season have turned a pessimistic old bastard like me ....into well something I don't know? Not an optimist but somewhere in between. I know, excited for the season ahead......

Go Manly. Well done Coms crew.

NRL 2024: Dragons, Sea Eagles stars clash in closed-door scrimmage​

The launch pad for some of the most anticipated players and combinations from the Sea Eagles and Dragons will be unveiled in a serious hit-out behind closed doors.

Tom Trbojevic will have his first serious hit-out in seven months and prized Manly recruit Luke Brooks unveiled in his new colours in a private clash with St George-Illawarra.
The special scrimmage session to be held in 10-days will be the launch pad for some of the most anticipated players and crucial combinations from both clubs prior to the 2024 season.

The 60-minute workout will be held behind closed doors at Narrabeen on Friday, February 2 and follows on from this time last year when both clubs organised a similar hitout against each other.

The contest will also provide new-look Dragons halves Ben Hunt and Kyle Flanagan with their first-look at playing under pressure, while promising fullback Tyrell Sloan will also take part as he chases the St George-Illawarra no.1 jumper.

Manly coach Anthony Seibold and Dragons coach Shane Flanagan said the hitout would be “game simulated” and a “step up from pre-season training.”

“Flanno was the driving force behind it last year when he was here with us as an assistant and we saw some benefits, so we thought it would be a good idea to do it again,” Seibold said.

“It was played in good spirits last year with a focus on the defender, particularly the third man into the tackle looking after the attacking player.
We don’t want any injuries, but we also want it to have a game-like effort.”

Brooks’ arrival into the halves alongside Daly Cherry-Evans at Manly after 11 seasons at Wests Tigers has led to many pundits predicting the Sea Eagles can return to the finals in 2024.

Seibold agreed the scrimmage session was most important for the Sea Eagles new-look spine.

“For us having a new spine, it will be a good opportunity for Brooksy, Chez (Cherry-Evans) and Turbo (Trbojevic) to do some solid work together,” Seibold said.

“Rather than run against ourselves, we feel like we’ll get something more out of running against the Dragons.

“Obviously with Kyle being in their halves and Brooksy being in our halves, they’re both new to the club, so it will be a level above running against ourselves, albeit without heavy contact.”

The contest will involve almost every major player from both clubs, highlighted by the return of a fully-fit Trbojevic, who hasn’t played NRL since tearing his pectoral muscle in State of Origin II last year.

Seibold said he was eager to run Trbojevic as opposed to wrapping the star fullback in cotton wool.
“Turbo’ is going well and he’ll be fine because again, we know the session is played in the right spirit,” Seibold said.

“He’ll be looking forward to running against some different faces as all our guys are.‘’

Flanagan said the bulk of his NRL side, including Zac Lomax, Jack Bird, Moses Suli, Jayd’n Sua, Blake Lawrie and Jacob Liddle will participate in the hit-out.

“The boys have been running plays and calls at each other all year, so to throw these plays at another NRL side, different opposition at this time of the year, it’s really beneficial for everyone,” Flanagan said.

“It’s a good opportunity for combinations in an environment that is as close to a game.
“I’ll use around 21 players and for about 50-minutes we’ll run our best 17 to 20 players.”

The NRL will also provide referees for the clash with the two clubs also planning to practice for the governing body’s newly-appointed rule change.

The NRL announced last week that the game would move to play the balls rather than penalties for failed short dropouts or kick-offs, for both the ball going out on the full or not travelling ten metres.
