    What about Koula and Hmole’s new teeth. Dose that make them insecure?

    Kick off change

    It will be an adjustment but we will get used to it just like every other rule change if this was to eventuate. I can see this happening sooner rather than later to protect the players and longevity from these head knocks. Not that I agree with it as I love the spectacle of the opening kick...

    I think you need to take in context how those meters were made. Running the eye over the games he played for us last year, he definitely made a significant difference to our forward pack and go forward. I do recall a couple of handy offloads as well that change the momentum and got us well and...

    Pre-Game Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    At this point I would have Waddell in front of him

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    So can someone please confirm that what ever salary cap we don’t use this year/next year ect, we can put towards the total of the Schuster dept? We most probably have a little wiggling room each year to chip away at it and pay it off early.

    This is close to our strongest side of the season. If Toffs fit we would be 100%

    Pre-Game Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

    On the flip side can DCE take the extra meters then kick the ball when theirs no pressure. Most games this happens when he won’t take advantage of the extra 5-7m in front of him to kick the ball down town. You see players like Jerome Hughes do it most weeks and gain 10m with the kick chase.

    We also need to consider that if we sign a player mid season we would only have to pay half their yearly worth. Say a player on $800k per year we would only pay them $400k for the remainder of the season.

    Interesting the Roosters are after Gagai. They were also reportedly looking at Staggs along with us. I find it hard to believe if they did land Gagai they would also go for Staggs as well. They also already have Billy Smith locked up in the centres. This could open the door for us to finally...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    I’m thinking James could be in for Brown as his knee may still not be right. Makes sense to me as we wouldn’t promote another prop this week just for the sake of it especially with the injury cloud over Brown. We are also extremely prop heavy now in the top 30 but well down on troops with Oshay...

    Was rumoured Aloiai was very close to be going heading over there just before the start of the season. He is on around 600k along with Schusters 625k. We are definitely in the market for an origin quality player. That cash will also go towards Lodge and Brown upgrades but still plenty of money...

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

    Toffs done an MCL. Hopefully the grade isn’t too bad. Grade 1 would be between 1-2 weeks where grade 3 could see him miss 6-8 weeks

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    I think having a few out might not actually be a bad thing for us. We are coming off 2 massive games vs Prenith and the Wahs also road trips to NZ and now off to the Gold Coast. We are bringing in 4 or 5 fresh players that haven’t been beaten up or traveled that will be full of energy. Don’t...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I’d assume it would be for future retention and recruitment. The club would want a clear vision as to who’s in charge and Seibs would want to be planning long term strategies knowing he is going to be the main man. Ive liked everything he’s done so far and think it’s a great move to have him on...
