Is Mestrov looking to get out?
Personally i would not care if he did back flip and was prepared to stay on 750 K for one year and even taking into account the past few week 's shenanigans . if last night 's turnaround in form and attitude is any guide and strictly in the professional sense . In addition to the hardly clear...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Great win and commitment all round , every player really put in and lifted , Defence held up when it mattered and played to their strengths again in attacking plays .Turbo does make a major difference but again pretty good team effort all round where the stakes were naturally pretty high in...- manly al

Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Will be interesting for the middle rotation . Waddell should go all right , Maybe Brown will go to 13 and Jass to prop for a while . No quite as much impact when Bully has been coming into a game but it is what it is Bully should have already been given more minutes previously and on...- manly al

The Actual 18th Team: Perth Bears
From what i can gather , the franchise is going to be jointly owned , at least initially by the N R L and W A government . Then the franchise being up for sale after a couple or few years . Just can not see the logic or practicality on so much emphasis on the Bear ;s connection or input . W A...- manly al

Jamal Fogarty
Guess that everything is relative but the Broncs were allowed to pick up Ben Hunt for what ? - 500 - 550 K . Seems a bit on the dubious side Really do not think that Arthur can be a viable option , Maybe could be a competitive 6 somewhere out there at a realistic price to...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Much will depend on the general fitness level of Alioia , Bully and Brown , if they can hold up all right , should be able to stay relatively competitive in the middle . And that does not take into account Turbo of course . In the circumstances , more likely Navale to come on to the bench...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Certainly would like Bully to be definitely declared fit . Looks like some showers hanging around for the game but should not be the determining factor whether Manly can have a good night or not Wish it was a bit more certain that Turbo and Aloioa can come into the game in fairly good shape...- manly al

Jamal Fogarty
Maybe the slow start or interrupted start for Walsh to develop his League game is influencing some rethink on acquiring Fogarty but no doubt a bit of a catch 22 situation Appears that Walsh has quite reasonable individual ability , bit hard to assess his organizational skills or defense at a...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Haven 't looked or not looking that far ahead , Just would seem so much better for a range of reasons to somehow jag a win this week and added to the subsequent bye points the next week, would make it 5 from 9 which sound even marginally , a bit better and hope then 4 from 9 including the bye...- manly al

The Elephant in the room
Can see the general premise of your post but Paseka at his best in the past couple of seasons has been in consideration as a fringe N S W , S O O forward or most likely bench option Main problem with a couple of the others mentioned , can be good at times , other times quite ordinary and way...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Didn "t watch the match but after noticing the outcome in the Strom - Dolphins game , and the dramatic turnaround in the Dolphins favor , would think anything is possible in terms of a side "s ability to turn things around if a side is up to it And even with a couple out , Manly should still...- manly al

Just can not see what intentions D C E may or may not have at the moment is affecting the side to any concerning extent He is going and has been public knowledge for many weeks now , has generally handled the matter and on a fair consensus not very well at all but what " s done is done and no...- manly al

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
As long as the side can regroup and rally sufficiently and Aloiai and Bully are ideally match fit , might be within range of being quite competitive against the Panthers and some chance . Again with the prospect T K O and Aloiai starting props and Bully , Jake and Brown to complement the...- manly al
