    2 points off 7th

    I actually really thought his defence was great. He really limited the early impact of Fifita. When you're defending him you're bound to miss a few hahaha

    Morgan Harper

    He had a rough start last night dropping the ball and fell of a few tackles with some bad reads. Then nearing the end of the first he seemed to find his feet and played with confidence. Hope he stays in the team and pairs Walker in the centres moving forward.

    Turbo Is Infinitely Important

    https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/04/09/hear-me-out-tom-trbojevic-is-one-of-the-best-players-of-all-time/amp/ Good read for those that didn't see it. Scary when you actually read it. No other team has a single player that is the difference between being a Top 4 contender with them and a wooden...

    Tom Trbojevic destined to be one of the greats

    Tommy hasn't played enough games the past two seasons to he our number 1 at the moment the only number one he is right now is the number 1 drain on the salary cap

    How about a straight swap..??

    I have faith he will turn it around. Having said that, right now, I'd swap DCE for a bag of stale chips.

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

    The worst effort for me was Marty. When Cleary put through the grubber, he didn't even attempt to put a hit on the kicker (he was there in time too). That resulted in Cleary have a free run through and next thing you know, try. The effort from a few players was poor. They need to be held to...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

    Agreed, the talent gap is huge right now. Its the teams that have adapted vs the teams that havent or couldnt. You're right, it the team I listed wouldnt have won tonight. But I honestly think it would get some wins. If we finish 14-12 on the ladder this year, thats a win for me right now :(

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

    Im hoping Olakau'atu will be gtg next week. NRL has him returning round 5 on the injury report. Lets be optimistic haha. It think the better chance is he will return...... for blacktown...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

    Our current back 5 in their current positions are getting no go forward what so ever. The fact that Walker was the only player in the backs that had over 100m is poor. That puts so much extra pressure on the forwards who then gas out. So the centres and wings are making metres and are dropping...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

    On to round 5. Nobody expected a win or anything other than a blow out against Penrith. Whilst the quality wasn't great, the effort from a number of players was there which is positive (I'm grasping as straws, please just let me!) So, on to round 5 and lets just hope that changes are coming. My...

    PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Penrith [Round 4, 2021]

    Honestly, I don't get it. It's the se team that have been smashed every week. I understand keeping Walker at FB if Tom is coming back so why change it for one game. But why still pick that backline and back row? Surely that aren't all going to keep playing long term? Or is Haslers theory that...

    So refreshing

    Both teams have also adapted to the new rules with hard runners with footwork, not plodders hahaha! The Raiders were also badly robbed in that one.

    My team that might actually win a game

    Why does it seem to be accepted that Saddler is ok and ready for FG but Ben Turbo isn't? Saddler is tall as hell but is sub 90kgs, Burbo is something like 105kgs. The age difference isn't significant. Just perplexes me a little. I'd say the fact that Burbo is in the top 30 while Saddler is a...

    My team that might actually win a game

    Looking at the team at the start of the season, you'd have to have been a pretty optimistic fan to think we would be a competitive team. With that said, I just can't accept we are as bad as we appear to be right night. I honestly think we are a 7-12 placed team, but a combination of injuries and...

    'They've run out ideas' - Blocker

    100% agree. Been saying this since preseason. Shoe at 5/8, Fox at 9 and Walker to centre will change the attack significantly. Walker is still a bloody good centre.

    The clean out

    I'm not sure a out dropping him, but yes the captaincy would be good. Send a message. I think that would be enough. If we have better options dropping him would be an option, but we don't so it's just token. Make Jake captain permanently and sole captain. That's a message.

    Suli - Fit and healthy

    He can't defend to save himself. Second row is the last place he should be. Maybe winger for Blacktown?

    The clean out

    I still have faith in DCE over Foran. Swap them and that's our best lineup right now. Bring Turbo into no.1 and put Funa to wing and we get to maybe 14th

    The clean out

    That's if he doesn't walk and go to a team that gives him a legitimate shot

    The numbers behind Manly's defensive decline

    Honestly, my biggest take away from that article was the line "with no other specialist fullback in the top 30" How the hell do we have 1 fullback and 0 hookers in the top 30..... What the hell do we have then ???? 1 and 9 make up half of the spine (arguably the most important 4 positions)...
