    2025 recruitment & retention

    Thought a lot about this. We could have a very young, fast, much more balanced team without them, and a huge 4-5 million dollar war-chest available: 01. Lehi Hopoate 02. Jason Saab 03. Tolu Koula 04. Tommy Talau 05. Reuben Garrick 06. Luke Brooks 07. 08. Taniela Paseka 09. Jake Simpkin 10...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    There are two types of forwards in my opinion. Box A - Power forwards (strength) James, Condon, B. Trbojevic, J. Trbojevic, Bullemor, Olakau'atu, Aloiai, Lodge, Brown, Paseka, Sipley, Tevanga Box B - Agile forwards (agility, skill) Navale, Lawton (leaving), Waddell, Arthur (possibly) In my...

    Oi - sitting on da fence is indefensible

    Points conceded, we actually came 7th best in the entire NRL defensively. (5th best attack, thank you very much !). Not too shabby.

    Post-Game Discussion Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

    I hope when people move past the disappointment of tonight, they see this season for what it was - improvement (in almost every area) both on and off the park. Talau was a real highlight. Completely exceeded expectations. I thought Simpkin when given the opportunity sped our ruck up, and I'd...

    Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    I haven't posted much, but I have to say, holy crap I'm happy. Defensively could have been a bit better. Some rocks and diamonds from some players. But we dug in that second half. The rughy league world was against us today. We would have had plenty of reasons to roll over but we didn't. Get...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    What the media releases as gospel, versus actual reality is light and day mate, and it's not even close ! At least in Choc's contract.

    Sorry for cussing everyone. For the record , Burbo needs defensive awareness, and positional practice IMMEDIATELY

    Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    **** Klein. **** the NRL. **** the bad penalty call, then allowing that huge forward pass that lead to a try giving them momentum out of the gate. This reminds me of the 2013 GF. Stitch up. **** you, you ****ing ****wits (NRL)

    Manly - Top 8

    Every single one of those games is winnable. Love to finish on 37-39 points (sufficient to be top 4) - get a home semi, and a second bite on a worst case scenario.

    Moving Forward - a Question for Silvertail's

    Okay, I'll have a shot here. My view is: 01. Tom Trbojevic 02. Jason Saab 03. Tolu Koula 04. Reuben Garrick 05. Lehi Hopoate 06. Luke Brooks 07. Daly Cherry-Evans 08. Taniela Paseka 09. Jake Simpkin 10. Josh Aloiai 11. Haumole Olakau'atu 12. Tommy Talau 13. Jake Trbojevic 14. Lachlan...

    Credit to coach

    I've always said I don't think it's the coaching. We've had all sorts (B.Arthur, Siebold, Monaghan, Cartwright, Flannagan, Hasler, Dymock, Randall, Barrett, Toovey, Ennis, Hales to name but a few). It comes down to the players. Setting expectations. Having accountability (even to each other)...

    He'll be going to Newcastle. I understand they want the pair.

    Has Bullemor improved big time ?

    I don't think he's improved. I think he's actually always been this good and is very under rated. He's consistent. I think he's our best prop.

    I love The Dolphins lock (who jumps into Hooker as well) Max Plath. Kinds fits that role, too.
