    Alfred

    Also know someone who went through Cyclone Tracy and they mentioned that there seemed to be some tornado type systems within the actual cyclone and one explanation why some areas or streets were not as badly damaged as others . In that the tornado effects in addition to the general severe winds...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Not that it matters much but still think Arthur would go a bit better as a 6 and was under the impression that Wakeman was more suited as a 7 . Back up for D C E no doubt a consideration and not a lot of depth at 7 at this stage but somehow , just don 't see Arthur the best fit there . Didn 't...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Could well be , just that Froggy would still generally have a few limitations playing outside of 9 . Same could be said of Simpkin but fair to say that he is more in the specialist 9 category . Could be a real bonus with Jazz as things seem to be emerging in that he can manage any position in...

    Alfred

    Obviously still caused major disruption and problems but think Sth East Qld and Nth N S W seriously dogged a bullet if Alfred hit the coastal area anywhere there or just inland as a Cat 2 system . Cyclones can still develop into close to Cat 5 systems as far south as the Rocky area on past...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Looks like it could be a bit of a conundrum in some regards when Froggy is available again .but is going to be hard to go past the Jazz - Simpkin combo if both available ongoing . Certainly no disrespect again to Froggy but Simpkin with quite a bit of upside on present indications and Jazz ...

    > Siosiua Taukeiaho < - wrong name - right place

    Even if Alioia can hopefully go well against the Warriors , still be more inclined overall to include Taukeiaho as a starting prop when available again . Justs adds that bit of variation and skill level to give the pack a bit more of an edge . Then in another instance , maybe would not matter...

    Alfred

    Went without power for one week with Cyclone Debbie in 2017 and even with a generator was hardly fun . Lucky a local pub had power and was able to watch a Manly club game win against the Roosters at the time Fortunately was just on the fringe in terms of wind effect but an enormous...

    Guess that that observation would be somewhere in the ball park

    1976 GF winger, Rod Jackson

    Rod [ Rocket } Jackson and Max Brown , both very handy wing recruits from the Bulldogs in the 70 "s Both premiership winners . Think that Rod was marking the Eels Nevile Glover in that epic 76 G F and when Nev dropped the pill with a good chance of scoring in the corner at a critical time ...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Seemed a bit down on form last season [ Sykes } after a couple of promising seasons before that so good that he looks like he is going quite well again . Can recall him having the previous odd game on an edge so has a bit of versatility but no doubt best suited as a prop . Will try and watch...

    The Bully files

    Hard to say what Bully "s current form level would rate contract wise and still quite surprising no indication on his re signing . General carries and support play , top shelf , defence still a bit of a work in progress . Maybe in that 375 - 400 K range and no idea what he is on now , probably...

    Annesley's weakly "why this happened" report

    So wonder how any concerns or complaints are going to be addressed now or ongoing

    All NRL Games [Round 1, 2025]

    Took a not insignificant pay cut for the move as well or according to reports . Things could change in the future but maybe not the smartest of moves

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Just have to hope very minimal game day injuries in the backs, as a sub 9 and three forwards seem the preferred option on the bench . Guess that Waddell 's versatility offers a bit of appeal for a bench spot but pleased that Navale did well yesterday . Really hope that Patolo can...
