    Draft

    I love the idea of a draft. With our hard salary cap, and the ludicrous 3rd party payments that are allowed to be made by outside parties, it is too hard for smaller market teams to compete. There is a false economy created where player X's market value is $500000. That player will go the...

    Into the 8

    Yeah 100% they are almost 4 point games. St. George, Roosters, Canberra, Newcastle all directly below us. Titans and Bulldogs at the lower end of the table. Not saying any of them will be certain wins but if we continue to get better each week I think we are a realistic chance every game.

    Into the 8

    New (H), Stg (A), Syd (H), Par (H), Gol (A), Cro (H), Cnb (A), Can (A) I think they are all winnable games, especially if we eliminate our late game lapse that has crept in over the last month. If we drop 3 out of those 8, that will give us 13 wins for the year and hopefully enough to make the...

    Time to Unleash Moses the Monster in the centres

    I’m happy to lose him. Similar to the AFB situation they are very good footballers on their day but I don’t think his loss will impact on the future of the team. If you look at our record this year, and his, that speaks for it itself. I think he is on decent coin as well.

    Another rule change: Kicks in gen play.

    I don’t think I’m a fan of it. It’s an art to be able to control the tempo of the game. Johns, Lockyer, Smith etc all could dictate the speed of the game to suit their team, a very special skill to have. I also believe if you can kick it dead from inside your own 40 the seven tackle count...

    Who do we let go next year now?

    I think Funa played better at 1 last year than Garrick. He has zero play making in him and can be suss under the high ball. Release - Morgan Boyle, Curtis Sironen, Jorge Taufua, Jack Gosiewski Resign - Sione Fainu, Tevita Funa, Zac Saddler, Dylan Walker (on reduced wage)

    Hit List - Bullemor and Thompson or Utoikamanu

    I think Marty has turned into the ‘ultimate professional’ these days as well. With his game prep and wanting to create an awesome image (brand) for himself. I think he isn’t just great for the younger guys on the field but just as importantly off it. I think a lot of the young forwards in...

    Hit List - Bullemor and Thompson or Utoikamanu

    Jakey also spends time at prop along with Siro now. Thompson on $400 for 2 years would be a steal. I would love one more edge forward for our depth. Moley and Shuey will be our starting second rowers for a lot of years to come. With Jack and Siro potentially moving on. A mobile, line running...

    Make Manly Great Again

    We are on our way!!!

    There must be changes

    Garrick and Jetski have zero impact in their runs, both get driven more than they make meters. Saab doesn't even want to be out there, no hunger to look for the ball what so ever.

    Assistant

    I’m not sure that reserve grade results translate into anything. Garth Brennan has a very good lower grade record and didn’t produce much at the top level. Head Coach and Assistant Coach are different, hopefully Hales can be a good foil for Des.

    NRL Salary Cap Era

    100%, with a draft though as a littler market team you can have hope. Just for that 2-3 year period while the rookie is in his first contract, no doubt the larger clubs will still swoop afterwards. Look at the impact Harry Grant had on the Tigers. When your team is not making the finals the best...

    NRL Salary Cap Era

    To my understanding we are the only pro sport to have a salary cap and no draft system. Along with the ridiculous TPAs how do the lesser teams fairly compete. If the teams finishing in the bottom end of the ladder know they have the next big thing to draft they don’t have to go out and pay...

    Luke Garner

    Dogs can probably offer him more game time and even a starting spot, which we can not.

    The Kieran Forum

    A bit of a deeper post but I feel that Foran sold his soul when he left Manly chasing money. To be at your complete best your Mind, Body and Soul have to be in sync and I think his Mind and now his Soul are travelling better than ever so hopefully his Body will follow. His style of play was...

    The Idiots guide to the No Look pass

    The majority of the time it is still in the forward peripherals, Ive played a lot of both and the league no league pass backwards is a fair bit more difficult.

    The Idiots guide to the No Look pass

    He did get lucky with that pass it was 4 inches off being a shocker. That said the players these days are passing balls more than ever and it’s something they repeat over and over and over.

    Playing Turbo this week is absolutely mental

    His sort of injuries can happen in mid season, end of season, pre season. If it’s going to go, it’s going to go and if it’s right to go, it’s right to go. I’d love to see him rip it up for 2 more rounds and then tear QLD apart.

    Danny Levi

    Don’t get me wrong he has filled a void this season and we have been put in a tough position as we have our best 9 in his unusual situation. We should still be looking at better alternatives for 2021.
