    Jacob Arthur

    Maybe he is the succession plan no one is talking about because he is the forgotten man. Maybe one eye is on he and brooks for 26. Jacob is the managung style half that would compliment brooks He just brings gutsy . In limited game time i am a fan Ps went to edit managung but now its a...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    i reckon he is up for it. would be very brad fittler like at 6 with his natural instinct is to run. while playing in the line does come with its physical extras getting early ball would spell big time problems , his power, explosiveness off the mark, and his rangey body and manlys danger men...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    Locky crocker. While he isnt a classic hooker he has been doing it a few years now and every year he has improved, maybe not as fast as we would like. Last year a big injury really dented his progress and brought him back a bit in the process Competition is heating up and while he is slow he...

    Left field

    Turbos role is already part non kicking halfback and part fullback. We do lose a bit from fullback due to how often we use him to break a line rather than burst through or work through an already stretched , hurried or fatigued line Even with the frog , on paper we have a seriously good...

    Defence

    Our own Tommy Turbo is a great exponent of the attacking bomb take. Still not that many tries coming off this ploy considering we have tommy, saab and oku who all have ability in the air . Just applying pressure to opposition outside backs for a consistent period can really open a game……..the...

    Defence

    Contested v uncontested kicks at manly is way to high. Having to give the catcher 10m is a defensive kick and uncontested The kicks wide to saabs wing are nearly always too short or not high enough. Its epic how often it comes up empty We probably try the dangerous kick from our own territory...

    Jacob Arthur

    Arthur is tall, a little upright in the Saab kind of style but not as much.. while many different body shapes can thrive at 13 leg drive and a desire to get dirty and willing seems to be the consistent . Then depending on size or pace, its offload or quick play the ball. This is not jake turbo...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    brooks has 3 more years so he will be steering it around, with turbo who is currently steering us around. Keep hoping DCE might mature and get some driving gloves and get on the steering committee TBH. I just dont believe DCE can lead Manly as a dominant half unless he does, His course to...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    A major indicator in R&R will be how well Humphries goes at the bunnies. I have no prediction but if he does a pretty solid job , signing DCE up for 2 years when he still has so much contract may be a cross in the column Only time will tell. If he doesnt progress then fair enough But if he...

    The Jake Conundrum

    The game is passing jake by somewhat. He is the heart and soul of the side but for cap purposes he eats too much. Needs to just run the ball hard Manly have 3 main players in the team that are fantastic footballers but dont adequately cover the positions they are paid to play. The fact that...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Maybe he didnt pass a medical, maybe customs issues, I presume we will still offload him but it will cost us more cap

    Latu fainu was the same, was in our cap for yonks on decent coin even though he was never going to really play

    Shane Flanagan

    Yeah , you say it like it's a bad thing. Cronulla fans and players will never forget . What a moment for a club. Unfortunately thats life, need to push and cheat in a push and cheat industry, just try not to get caught like everything else in life. Dont want to be the last one in the pool...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Difficult to quantify for sure. In his era our only good seasons have been when tom or green have run the show. Not considering the dream team he was born into. He has had good hookers, props and pivots and managed a very entertaining meh Our style is his approach and it isnt methodical or at...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    If ever a prop played for stats over outcome , its marty. He got to a point in his career and just played all the soft stats. Its a culture thats haunted us IMO

    NEW era of footy,

    I had some eye stuff a bit back and its made focus on the smaller devices a little difficult. Hopefully will get glasses again soon and that will help. As a result ive just kind of given up trying too hard TBH and my attention to detail has dropped off

    NEW era of footy,

    I am not going to beat the vlandys drum too hard but this is is a much better game under the new management regeime . Maybe not on field but off field for sure. The former CEO had my love for the game and belief in the systems at an all time low as he flipped and flopped between wanting to be...
