All NRL Games [Round 10, 2025]
The Dragons are a shocking footy side, embarrassing we lost to them and at Brookvale no less- JakeyB789

The Daly Cherrygraph
For someone who said Manly was his full focus for the rest of the year in his departure interview, he hasn’t done a very good job of showing that. Came out like a jealous ex almost instantly after the Fogarty signing was revealed and said he was keen to play Origin and on again next year, like...- JakeyB789

2026 recruitment & retention
Matterson even at this stage of his career is an upgrade on Waddell as a bench forward that can cover both the edge/middle, and would probably be an upgrade on Burbo in the starting side as well. If we can get him cheap for the rest of this year with his brother here I don't know why we...- JakeyB789

Tallyn Da Silva
Would be an interesting dynamic given he essentially displaced Simpkin as Api's backup at the Tigers. Da Silva is the better prospect long term but Simpkin has the chance the rest of this year to establish himself at hooker and build some combinations with the rest of the team. Can't hurt to...- JakeyB789

The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
What's with the hate? He is not even here anymore and has pretty clearly had a rough go of things in his career to date. It's also not his fault we gave him the big 3 year deal and let him go 6 months later to still be paying for it. Hope he eventually gets a crack at Souffs and kills it, not...- JakeyB789

Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]
Nearly there but the Waddell selection is still ridiculous. Having more experience or apparently being able to play more minutes (which also coincides with him coming up with more penalties/errors) shouldn't be a reason for him to be picked over Navale. It's essentially only the 3rd forward spot...- JakeyB789

Should Turbo/DCE Play State of Origin?
The guy is an all time talent but what’s the use if he spends most of the year injured and when he isn’t, off he goes to play for another team. I’d hate to see him playing for another club but I’d also hate to see us sign him up for another big contract, just for the same outcome we’ve seen...- JakeyB789

Hooker
Simpkin was unreal on Saturday but I fear his effectiveness could be limited once Jake comes back into the side and slows down our momentum and speed around the ruck. I think this would be an issue for any of the names being thrown around in here. Would like to see how things look with a few...- JakeyB789

The Daly Cherrygraph
You heard it correctly, I'm pretty sure Watmough did say Taufua but I think he meant to say Peta Hiku, who had played fullback in place of Snake in the first 2 finals that year (and had run for something like 300m in that 0-4 loss to the Roosters) I did like the honesty Choc showed towards DCE...- JakeyB789

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
Yeah I can't give Seibold too much credit for the other night.. I think we have all agreed the main difference in our performance (other than Tommy back lol) was Simpkin at 9 and Jazz at 13. If Seibold had everyone to choose from we would've seen Croker and Jake in those spots and I genuinely...- JakeyB789

Jamal Fogarty
Fogarty has kicked 31/36 at 86%, Garrick 30/38 at 79% which is his best strike rate since 2021. If we want to go back further: 2024 - Fogarty 80%, Garrick 76% 2023 - Fogarty 88%, Garrick 76% 2022 - Fogarty 79%, Garrick 76% 2021 - Fogarty 78%, Garrick 82% Have to go back 4 years for a season...- JakeyB789

Jamal Fogarty
They missed the part where DCE's team is coming 11th with more losses than wins and Fogarty's team is 3rd having won 5/7 with a far tougher draw than we've had. DCE can rack up all the individual stats he wants but what use is that when it's reducing the impact of Haumole and our other strike...- JakeyB789

Should Turbo/DCE Play State of Origin?
I think I'd prefer DCE to play Origin as I'd probably enjoy watching us more in those weeks he isn't there, good for NSW if he plays as well. I'd say Tom needs to repay the club at this point though. We likely lose this weekend and head into the bye at 3-5. After that it's two more tough games...- JakeyB789
