    Tommy Talau

    Another reason for Seibold to go. Talau is in our best 17 every week, if he’s not getting picked over players like Waddell, something is very wrong.

    Burbo

    I’ve been critical of him in the past, but he has improved this season. We certainly missed him last night but more so, that we had to play Waddell in his place. That really showed the stark contrast between the two of them. I’d like to see him playing 30 to 40 minutes and going flat out in...

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    And the Roosters with Pearce. Having a superstar number seven isn’t an absolute must to win a grand final, but it certainly helps.

    2026 Captain

    I don’t think it needs to be a long-term thing as in, it’s not a generational/long term appointment like the Australian cricket captain. You can have a captain for a season or two seasons. I think Jake deserves to be captain at least for a season or two, however long he has left.

    Nathan Brown

    On the whole, he’s been really good for us but yesterday wasn’t one of his better games. The stripping penalty on 2nd tackle, with the sharks coming off their line was poor. However he topped that, by giving away that stupid ‘late contact’ on the kicker penalty on 6th tackle. He should have been...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    Sharks just too fast. We needed to minimise the errors but they just kept making them, gifting the sharks more opportunities. Brown was poor but he wasn’t the only one. Turbo back next week but with no momentum, it’s anyone one’s game. Very disappointing 🤬

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

    All in all, a strong performance. Beating the Warriors at home was always going to be very tough task, considering the injuries going into the game as well as during it. Yes they should have won but we also almost lost. Imagine how ****ty we’d be feeling if we did lose! Anyway, onto next week.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Coaching can be as easy or complicated as you want to make it. I get the impression Seibold tends to over complicate it. All teams are trying to do the same thing; start fast and gain the ascendancy. After that, it’s about minimizing errors whilst capitalizing on your opponent’s mistakes. In the...

    Garricks performance at centre

    His best position is on the wing. He tries his heart out and I can’t fault him for his effort but he should be starting on the wing. He’s not the reason we’re losing but he’s not going to win us a game, playing where he is either.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly v Tigers [Round 27, 2023]

    Better end to the season than last year. Really happy for Jake to get the win and sing the team song, one more time for the year. The last couple of weeks have given us a glimpse at what might have been, if we’d played Koula or in the #1 a bit earlier. Also Gordie who adds plenty of speed around...

    A different kind of disappointment

    Hmm…. Not really different for mine. My disappointment is watching them each week, waiting for the inevitable, momentum killing f#€k up. Other teams can make errors and there’s the sense that, they’ll just create more opportunities. Yes they hung in there but at 6-13 midway thru the 2nd half...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Unfortunately for the kid, he only occasionally shows glimpses of what he’s capable of. Think back to his form in 2021, and a handful of games this year. He looks every bit a $800k player. Along with the interest from other clubs that brings with it, also pressure for Manly to re-sign him. But...

    Garrick

    He always plays his heart out. Effort and intensity and perhaps just as important, accountability. I still think his best position is on the wing. Although he’s certainly improved many aspects of his game, that he could cover both Centre and Fullback. Although if he was to cover fullback, the...

    Post-Game Discussion Storm v Manly [Round 17, 2023]

    Come to think of it, they were in the game, well into the 2nd half. It was Keppie, coughing it up on tackle 2, then Schuster doing his “turnstile” impersonation, that began downward slide. There’s something going on behind the scenes. About half the players are really trying and the other...

    Post-Game Discussion Storm v Manly [Round 17, 2023]

    Error after error, poor defense and 24 unanswered points. Not surprised by the performance because they dish it up most weeks. Harper had a real dig and good on him. Schuster was complete rubbish. For all his potential, I’m getting fed up with these poor efforts.
