    Unpopular opinion that should be considered

    Agree with this for the most part. Think how u would rotate the front row rotation with Brown at 13 and Jurbo at prop would be interesting. I wouldn’t be playing Brown the full 80, and also he’s been a massive impact off the bench. Maybe you start with Jurbo at lock, bring on Brown after 20...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Knights [Round 19, 2024]

    He’s the one Hoppa i hope the club will be able to keep long term. He’s been so impressive for how young he is. U wouldn’t know he’s 19 in his 7th game.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Not crazy mobile but agreed. His versatility would be huge for our forward pack. Bring him in and i’d feel better about the state of our forward pack and second row depth.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Not a big fan of Aloiai being extended. He’s a fine player but undisciplined and has cost us multiple games. Not very consistent either. Personally i’d only being keeping Paseka, Jurbo, Brown. Bullemor handy player too. So was hoping we’d invest in an upgrade over Aloiai, if he’s on a reduced...

    Origin III - The Decider

    Sounds like Haumole is making way for Barnett in the side for game 3. Although good for Manly, feel bad for him regardless and I want to see as many Manly players in the origin arena as possible. Hasn’t done anything to lose his spot at all, coming off another good game. Madge is making an...

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

    Can’t wait for Karl Lawton and Tommy Talau in the halves Cowboys 3 wins this year when down 10+. Thats terrifying considering what we’ve shown this season and this game…

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

    Burbo looking like a passenger out there. Turbo struggling with reads at centre. Reckon Cowboys will target that right side relentlessly this second half…. As they should, we’ve been lucky so far. I don’t know if i’d make any changes to the backline though regardless.

    [Resurrected] Sitili Tupouniua

    He’s probably too good for us unfortunately.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Nice to see Gordie extend, but am i crazy for thinking he should be turned more into a lock? He’s built like a nugget, got good leg speed and drive. We’ve seen at hooker his service from dummy half is pretty slow, unless that improves can’t really see him playing ahead of Croker or Simpkin...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Did he promise a second rower by June 30? Not sure anyone half decent would be leaving mid season. The money to sign a second row is still there, always thought that the money will go to someone for 2025, in which case there’s plenty of time to find a player. Sitili is off the board now cause I...

    [Resurrected] Sitili Tupouniua

    Oh considering the injuries and his not so good form wouldn’t want the club to be spending over 500ish thousand a year for him.

    [Resurrected] Sitili Tupouniua

    Pretty sure Haas just got re-signed to an extension with the Titans. I could be living under a rock but not many second rowers that the club could target at the moment outside of Stili. Obvious concerns with injuries as well as form but he’s an upgrade over our current second row depth...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Another team enters the race for Sitili Tupouniua Knights join the race for Tupouniua and Crichton close to a two year extension with the Roosters, so Sitili is most probably off. The Knights, Dolphins, Doggies and Manly all in the race for his signature. Just looking at the rosters of those...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    The same Aaron Schoupp that couldn’t crack the top 17 consistently in a bad titans side? He should be nothing more than depth for right now. Maybe he develops, only 22 but for now think there are clearly better options at centre.

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Both have there pros and cons, i’d just personally have Koula back there. What Seibs will do is a different convo, which I agree with you will probably be Lehi. His maturity for a rookie has been impressive as, especially in defense.

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Hopoate has been good no doubt but out of anyone on the team outside of Turbo I feel Koula has the most upside at fullback. His speed and acceleration can be a real difference maker back there. As good as Lehi has been just don’t see the same athleticism. But its a good problem to have at the...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Look I get moving Turbo to centre but he's our best player, surely u want him touching the ball as much as possible instead of him camped out on one edge. Sure we have plenty of options to go to at fullback with Lehi, Koula and Garrick but are we a better side for it? Kind of feels like Seibold...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Bit disappointed we just let Humphrey’s leave. The last two seasons under Seibold we are letting go of promising young talent and replacing them with pretty average players at best. We’ve let go of the Fainu brothers, Viliami Fifita, Tuitavake, Weekes and now Humphrey’s since Seibold has been...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    A number of pretty decent forwards that are reportedly on the chopping block or wanting out of there respective clubs at the moment and I think Manly should be all over it. Have reports from Michael Chammas that Daniel Saifiti is set to be moved by the Knights on as well as Corey Horsburgh is...

    [Resurrected] Sitili Tupouniua

    "There's no offer on the table from the Bulldogs - the Dolphins and Manly are interested in Sitili Tupouniua, they have expressed interest but that all hinges on what happens around Angus Crichton." So reckon Sitili would be a good buy, even though injuries are concerning. The second row depth...
