    2026 recruitment & retention

    Ridiculous overreaction, and unfortunately I think this opinion is quite common. We have a good crop of recruited and developed juniors, just about ready to make their NRL debuts next year. We are largely losing a few fringe players, and we're replacing them with this younger lot. Our biggest...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    This is what happens when you resign old depth plodders like Lodge and Brown, and block young players paths to first grade... FFS. E.g. Why are Jazz Tevaga and Schoupp playing over Mia and Laiafi? There is literally no logic to it! Canberra shouldn't have a better path to first grade, as they...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    This is up there with that one Japanese city avoiding the nuke, because the weather was bad. Excellent news!!!

    The Manly DNA

    I believe he's been back here, as coaching director / pathway coaching director (something along those lines), since the end of 2023. He was in the first season of the Manly Way.

    Aloiai Gone

    I believe you mean O - sh - ay O - l - ay? I'm still baffled as to how on earth that mispronounciation even occured. Vlandys found a way to stuff it up even more than Josh Aioli. Calling him Aioli would've been more accurate...

    Joey Walsh

    I first aired my concerns about him in June. I know he's not the first player to be toxic and play NRL for Manly, but it's different when you're actively involved in the situation. Can't get behind him.

    Yeah, I don't remember the inner-workings of that saga too well. Wasn't on Silvertails at this point. I'm going to assume that 2022 had leaks exploding out, all across this forum? Chaotic year that one.

    I know him. Not a big fan of his character.

    Interesting, but why wouldn't be have moved prior to Des getting sacked? Only reason I can see him going there, is for Foran. Given Ballin has the same manager, I imagine that's likely also problematic on that front? Would evidence Ballin going to the GC instead. I'd prefer Ballin to be back...

    Both of them are extending from what I've seen, one year deals. Talau will probably extend further, depending on what Garrick does. Not happening

    Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]

    Expect Simione Laiafi to debut in his place. Wasn't really too fussed either way this went. Sips has been a great club man, and it's a bit disappointing he couldn't get the century. The silver lining is this gun playing.

    Out of curiosity, is this view based upon what your sources have told you? My response is... Meh... I think everyone has recognised Seibs has reached his ceiling. He can't deal with adversity, but since we're a club of prima donnas', that adversity shall never cease.

    I read the article, they say he's looking for a role with "more responsibility", aiming to be a head coach in the future. Given we were originally proposing him as our head coach, it means that plan is off the table. Someone else will be replacing Seibold. All roads lead to Matt Ballin?

    Who will win the comp

    Surely you could want them to win, purely because of Fogarty and Weekes? That's the reason I'm going for them. Would love to see two past/future Manly boys get a prem.
