    2025 recruitment & retention

    2025 recruitment & retention

    As of late our spending seems more responsible and seibs recruitment IMO is solid to pretty bloody good, but my comment was about manlys ability to compete financially would be better if all of current squad was under the same scrutiny as recent signings and delivered the same value. If we had...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    I think coin helps but what ultimately makes a coach is the board to an extent lets assume we have a decent coach to begin with. When the board shows unfaltering loyalty, allows a coach to build over 5 or 6 years, but even more so back him against the players 100% Everyone in the game is under...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    For a team that was labelled cocky early in there successful run the panfers have been a model of consistentcy . The reason why dynasties are rare are partly because of salary cap and because its very difficult to keep teams interested and motivated once they win again and again. Not just games...

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    gutho is more like foran Cant really compare them to DCE as they are so different in the way they play the game If DCE is still here in 26 we are in big trouble .

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    The 10 m rule from 5 was the most significant and damaging change to the game. Having that extra room changed the ruck forever. Teams started playing flat Whoever oversaw that was a fool

    Cleary has built a system on defence coupled with blistering line speed They dont necessarily dominate the ruck in defence with wrestle but there quick play the balls allow them to go toe to toe in the ruck game with anyone There own kick chase is the silent champion on how the back 5 smash it...

    Bye bye Bears - again, killed off before they were resurrected??? And any other mixed metaphor

    It does start to lay some foundations on what a NRL club may be worth, if you were ever looking to sell . With contractural Income , sponsorship, etc etc the souths and Manly franchise acquisitions are really paying off, especially the Manly Looking like becoming a cash cow in the future too...

    Look it doesnt matter in its a little cake with your coffee or the simple sandwich its all overblown, overdone and over priced. A ham/ cheese sandwich is a midnight elvis with 4 types of provolone, in a river of sunburnt pickled aioli Rant over as I sit down to a coffee and $16 dollar cupcake...
