    2025 recruitment & retention

    Patolo is a funny 1 Has shown some real glimpses but been riddled by injuries He has been labelled a front rower, but actually plays plenty of edge through the grades I'm interested to see how he performs, just maybe a decent pickup if stays healthy

    2025 recruitment & retention

    We are not flush with backrow options, to be paying a bloke an average NRL wage or under, who maybe past his best but still a fast, talented player in a better environment seems a great opportunity. The current options have Qld standard options with Oka obviously super, Ben inconsistent and the...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    If anyone can get Schu to potential it would be Bennett or Bellamy, but Manly gave him e HEAP of chances including 5/8 and he just wasn't in it.....fleeting moments of brilliance was drowned by disinterest and mistakes and a book of excuses. Nice bloke and wish him well, but until his ''off...

    Get this for left field Al....imagine iif Koula could turn into a defensive weapon and have him at lock, with Oka and Bateman edges....suddenly a fast team all round !! This way we have the back 5 as - Well I would like to see this given a go, though I don't think Gaz was terrible at centre...

    3 Favourite Current Manly players

    Totally agree, but please note Bozo - not Best but favourite...Brooks is not as good as DCE and there's others who are better imo too....I have just taken a liking to the little fella on his Manly journey

    3 Favourite Current Manly players

    In a team hopefully on the up - well results in 2024 say yes but Im with Bozo on this - I expect more again in 2025....but how do we get there ? Well the players are obviously a major part of this and we do have some Stars in the side. Just want to see the various opinions on "Favourite"...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    zero excitement about this option Below average half I think Volkman is hands down the best "immediate " option and looking at 2-3 years the Walsh and Large options have far more upside...in fact injury free has loads of ability In fact I hope it's just wild speculation I rate him in the bottom...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Great bit of business if it comes together....not as flash as he was, but a fresh start would likely see him regain some good form and he is exactly whats needed in regard to adding speed to a pack, which has been caught out off the pace when it counts....I'm a big "heck yeh" on this 1

    Big Oka is a Scary Thing

    I find that more Paseka mate, though there are times Oka could be involved more, so I get your point

    Big Oka is a Scary Thing

    We all scream for some intimidation in our team, especially the forawards....but Big Oka is just ridiculous. He is naturally stronger than anyone and his timing is near Perfect. I think that Collins is gunna pull a hammy before we play Roosters in 2025. Not sure if he is Captain material, but I...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    THIS - 100% That’s my point , not to bag him at all but if you took Cleary at the start of 2024 and put him at the Tigers , they would still have finished bottom 4.

    2025 recruitment & retention

    You certainly are no "Straw man" Bozo....I was referring to your arguement. We are feathered friends.... I will safely state - Manly would NOT have won with Ivan Cleary as coach, unless he bought 3-4 star players with him.

    Young Hoppa - Gotta be in top 17 in 2025

    As always - makes sense Dion

    Young Hoppa - Gotta be in top 17 in 2025

    That's 100% fair mate I love a fair thread with different opinions I just gotta have young Hoppa there, but everything you have posted is on point also 💯

    Young Hoppa - Gotta be in top 17 in 2025

    It's all about opinion mate and I respect yours 100% Personally, I reckon Hoppa should be a lock in 2025, but you certainly make honest and some valid points - good post I say 👍

    Young Hoppa - Gotta be in top 17 in 2025

    What's your thoughts tho Wheel Always like your opinion- would you find a place for Hoppa in the 17 ?

    Young Hoppa - Gotta be in top 17 in 2025

    Not sure where ppl have young Hoppa, but I reckon the perfect combination of class and skill and a Must to be in top grade from day 1 in 2025. I reckon outside Talau who was super in 2024, Hoppa was our best outside back. Where do we fit him in and if so, who misses out ?

    2025 recruitment & retention

    This is now "Twister" meets the "straw man" 😅 You said it all and answered my point As before Best coaches in order - imo Bellamy Bennett Cleary Would Manly have won the comp with any of them = No Are they better than Seibold = Yes If your arguement was the other Cleary who is on the field...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Unfortunately you have missed my point and gone on your own tangent Bozo - it's called the "straw man fallacy" My top coaches would be Bellamy and Bennett and right now I have Cleary hot on their heels and Seibold is significantly behind these Champion coaches imo, but not as bad as some make...
