The Positive Thread

[Stewbojevic]

I’m just as disappointed as everyone else with the latest results but wanted to create a space where we could share positive commentary and take a break from the negativity.

Positive comments ONLY please.

I’ll start:

• Lehi is back next week
• Turbo has a LOT of upside that we haven’t seen this year yet
• We have 2 byes in the next month, which could leave us in or around the top 8 and all may not be lost
• Walsh seems to be impressing people in NSW Cup
• Some of our best talent has re-signed, Lehi, Koula, Haumole
• Turbo and Jurbo have said they would never play for another NRL team and would happily take a pay cut to stay on. 2027 could be a big year of recruitment.
• We have signed the halfback of the team currently leading the comp and I believe he is more consistent than our current halfback which will help our team be more consistent
• We have recruited some of the best youngsters around that could prove fruitful in a few years; Walsh, the Larges, Zaidas, Hart all have big potential.

We only have to watch this team 10 more times this season. That's a huge positive for me.

All means zip, If you have a captain and a coach that are USELESS

DCE & Seibold final year at the club. Huge positive.

Lehi Hopoate is a gun and 2025 was the start of what will be a great career
Oka has had great moments
Koula is getting better and more involved
Tommy Talau is a true fighter and regardless of zero energy from his team mates, apart from the few mentioned above, plays with enthusiasm every opportunity

Probably he main positive involving Manly in 2025, is the ability to play a poor team back into form and make washed up or average players look like Superman....that's the main posit and it definitely involves Manly

I’ve gotta give this a go, hopefully it will prove therapeutic……

We’re one win out of the eight………so we’re still a shot at playing semi final footy, just trying to keep the dream alive.

Dollar is leaving…….that’ll give us some cash to spend up front and good riddance

We’ve already lost to all the bottom dwellers……..so there should be no more upset defeats

We haven’t had 50 put on us (yet)……close 48…..so the dream is still alive

We put 42 on the cows and 40 on the raiders

We beat the 4 time reigning premiers

We didn’t play our home game at magic round and we beat the Donkeys back at Brookie

We beat Parramatta (once)

Lehi looks like keeping the fullback legacy alive at the Eagles.

It’s not all doom and gloom……..

Upcoming positive you’d hope was coming, is that every organisation that sends Lodge on his way has had an immediate upturn in results

Some good points however bullet point 2 needs some discussion. I am beginning to think we may never see Turbo's upside again. He seems well and truly cooked after repetitive injuries. Lehi is now clearly our number 1, number 1.

Here's one: Silvertails still has the most knowledgeable rugby league fans in the NRL, even though many can't read!

The Dollar Chaser having less than 10 games left for the club is by far the biggest positive. Good ****ing riddance

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The positive for me is we are so bad that surely someone , anyone up the top is going to say “ it’s time for a big big change “.

Really it needs blowing up and rebuilding, but if that’s done brace yourselves for many years of mediocre performances until we have the right mix.

Aging , perennially injured players need to be moved on OR a couple signed for positions 23-30.

Look to recruit promising youngsters who haven’t cracked it with other teams , or recruit the best we can from Q Cup & NSW Cup.

The whole “ build it around 2-3 players hasn’t worked “ build from youth , and try and get a few gun players to come over time.

So my positive is “ we are at the bottom the only way is up.
