Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]
One of the few games I’ve missed live at Brooky in recent years but not surprised to hear the crowd seemed a bit flat, this is one of the most uninspiring Manly teams I can remember and that first half was true punish to watch. The captain doesn’t want to be here and isn’t a particularly...- JakeyB789

2 sets of 3 brothers
Yes the nearly 250-gamer in Brooks outplayed Fainu playing 80 minutes in the NRL for the first time of his career and without Luai. Was nice to actually notice Brooks out there for the first time in a while but I’m struggling to take it as a positive when this was a recruitment move aimed at...- JakeyB789

Tallyn Da Silva
Given we are coming off a game where our starting hooker played 80 minutes and did not take a single run the whole time.. going after Da Silva is a no brainer. Would be worth the $$$ given he’d be filling a hole we’ve had for 5 years- JakeyB789

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
Sipley and Waddell joining Saab and Croker in NSW Cup this weekend. Was initially excited especially to see Waddell's name, but realised it has no bearing on our team list for next week and any or all of them could be straight back in first grade after the bye.- JakeyB789

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
As I said I certainly wouldn't be calling them easy wins. Just on paper they are games we should win and I suspect that if we don't then Mestrov would no longer have a choice.- JakeyB789

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
I wonder if this has all been timed given we are on the bye and are likely to win our next two matches anyway. Both at home against 2 teams that have a combined one win from their last 8, with that one win being Souths beating Tigers. Although we've lost to the only 3 teams below them in the...- JakeyB789

We are Laughing stock of the NRL
So you are saying Seibold didn't get the spoon because he actually had the Broncos in 15th place and then quit before getting sacked? And the bloke that replaced him for the last 7 games is the same one Seibold brought to the club as a Recruitment Manager and is now our Head of Football and...- JakeyB789

Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't
Their recruitment is on another level to ours (and the rest of the competition). All the players they've signed in recent years to build around their spine have been young guys with potential who for one reason or another were on the outer at their previous club. Katoa (now one of the best...- JakeyB789

The Positive Thread
The Dollar Chaser having less than 10 games left for the club is by far the biggest positive. Good ****ing riddance- JakeyB789

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
Talau has been fantastic. I hate this team but can respect a guy having a dig and constantly making good runs while everyone else is ****ting the bed.- JakeyB789

Wooden Spoon
I hope people are ready for us to break a 78 year drought because it’s looking like a genuine possibility now. Losses to the bottom 3 teams in the Titans, Knights and Eels in the last four weeks, and only 2 points clear of last place now. Lost our best player for potentially the year in...- JakeyB789

Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]
I’m sorry but if this is what Tom is now he shouldn’t even be in the 17 at all, even if he is ‘fit’ to play. Lehi, Koula and Garrick are all better options at the back. Seibold has a lot to answer for too but careful criticising him as it may be considered spam- JakeyB789

Our hooker for 2026
It is absolutely time to move on from Croker, the bloke is approaching 30, has had all sorts of issues with concussion and knee/neck injuries, and was never a hooker to begin with. He plays tough and is a great clubman, but if anyone is genuinely fine with him still being the starting hooker...- JakeyB789

What will Dollars do for the second half of season?
Fogarty is the main man at the Raiders who currently have the most wins in the competition, with a roster that is arguably not much better than ours. That includes Weekes at fullback who many derided on here but has now improved and found success with a stable half that uses his weapons properly...- JakeyB789
