    Jake T.

    Saab just needs to find his groove. He hasn’t train with the team the whole offseason and will take a few weeks to get his eye in. He’ll come good.

    The Bully files

    I remember that very well. I think I was a game up in Gosford he made that clean break. Didn’t even look to see who was beside him. Was an absolute shocker but funny to look back on

    Systems v weapons

    Our success in the 90’s came off the back of a few check books pre salary cap with a crop of exceptional local talent coming through. Was truly a golden time on the northern beaches. Our success during the Des area was built since 2005 when he took over, players wanted to stay together and all...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    I remember years ago I was out in one of the night clubs in Manly and Jamie was there with his partner. I was standing in close proximity to them both as it was shoulder to shoulder rammed. Jamie then grabbed my hand thinking it was his partners and I thought to myself “what the hell is Jamie...

    Taniela Paseka ... it's time ..

    Very interesting! Great to see him held in such high regard. Really goes to show he could really dominate the game once he hits his ceiling. Already doing great things for us but we all know he can go to another level. The slow burn continues

    One has to go ... who ?

    I’m backing him to prove a lot of people wrong this year.

    He injured his shoulder in the game against the Warriors at Brooky. Came off late in the game

    Trial V Wabbits

    Navale has never been a tackle busting impact player. He is very much cut from the same cloth as Jake but at a fraction of the price. He has a very high work rate and tackle efficiency. Has great footwork and also has silky hands as the point of our attack came from Navale distributing the ball...

    I’ve always had big wraps on Sips seeing what he can do when fully fit and injury free. He looks in great shape at the moment having a good preseason. His only fault that has been an issue in the past is his lateral movement in defence and can be slow from marker. I’ve seen teams play the out...

    He hasn’t. He is only signed for this upcoming season

    The Manly Way

    The reason Jake must go to prop and play shorter stints. He is great in the opening exchanges to lock down our defence but can’t be the 80min player he once was. Absolutely love Jakey but his roll has to change. I say his next contract offer will reflect this at a heavily discounted rate.

    Tof Sipley

    If we get Aloiai and Sipley off our books, that could free up $900k. If we promote Patolo into the top 30 on min contract, that would still give us around $750k to bring in a SOO quality player. Liking these moves if they are to eventuate. We can finally move Jake to prop and buy some impact...

    Laifai was an absolute beast today! Skittled the Warriors forwards from every kick off charging like a maniac off the back fence. Extremely hard for them to handle getting our sets off to a great start. Ziadas was very crafty from hooker. Ran the ball well, jumping out from half drawing...
