    The Finals thread: (week 1)

    Congratulations to Cronulla, a small suburban club that shares several characteristics as Manly. However, in recent years, it has enjoyed greater success. Some of that must be attributed to having a stable coach and promoting its juniors. So, the little guy can beat the wealthy bigger bloke when...

    Michael Ennis

    Ennis played 273 NRL for the Knights, Dragons, Broncos, Bulldogs, and Sharks. Since retiring in 2016, Ennis has worked on the coaching staff at the Raiders, Eels, Sharks and, most recently, the Sea Eagles. That's eight clubs he has experienced. It tells you where his loyalty lies.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The Storm have been in the finals for the past 15 years. How? Why? Putting aside their revenue base and 'financial cunning', the common denominator is Bellache, the training methods and their recruitment. He is able to identify unrealised talent and bring them through the grades. He also is...

    Certainly, provided their sombrero remains in place.

    Turbo to Superleague?

    I can understand a recently-married player, without children, wanting to base themselves in England for a year or two in order to explore the UK and Europe before returning to Australia to settle down and start a family. Makes sense to me.

    Who will win the comp

    I fondly remember the match last season when Manly tipped the Berries out of the finals. Since then one team has strengthen, the other has faded. It's dispirating being a Manly supporter these days, knowing that if the current ownership remains we'll never reach great heights again.

    Kobe Hetherington

    According to media reports, which you can't trust, Hetherington is only thinking of moving because his girlfriend is taking up a job offer in Sydney. That tells you how invested he is in The Manly Way.

    [Resurrected] Zach Dockar-Clay

    TKO has been great. Jazz has been average. TT2 has been good whenever he makes it to the field, but is injury-prone.

    The joint is about to implode

    My skin crawls when I see Penn answering questions. The chicken-liver 'media' won't ask him the tough questions. How about: Q: You once sacked a coach because rugby league was a "results" driven sport. Since you took over in 2014 Manly has failed to reach a grand final. When will you apply the...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Wow.$625,000 per season for a player slightly above average... We are desperate.

    The joint is about to implode

    Time to merge with Newcastle. Put two duds together and you just might created Dynamic.

    Laurie Daley

    With his poor coaching record why would any club consider Daley?

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Is there are more equitable way to pay players than a straight salary? For example; Pay a player a salary of $400,000 per season plus, say, $20,000 per match? Sure, the club would have to leave sufficient space in the Cap to cover the player for maximum participation. Several clubs, including...
