    Jamie Humphreys

    Why are many continually using words like "after all our time developing him..." etc? How many clubs keep all their talented juniors? Did we develop all of our players? Does anyone really develop anyone, or is it that this is how professional sport works? Get a grip people

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Hasn't Arthur only ever played halfback? I get people have alluded to him being a possible lock forward one day. Humphreys has played very well in the juniors, but Arthur has played a fair bit of high quality first grade (and in no way am I saying that one is better than the other). I'm just...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Such a shame but realistically he is a far better half than he is hooker. DCE at least another couple of seasons, and Brooks and Arthur already very capable first grade halves, followed by other junior options such as Bunting... And even for hooker, we now have a couple of specialists in...

    Our missing players vs last night

    Agreed. I was one of the first calling for Seibold's head. And as I said in other posts, I was far from convinced the first couple of months - and still not. Our defence was abysmal! The Parra game was a shame, but a Moses led comeback at Bankwest with the ref on their side saw a narrow loss...

    Our missing players vs last night

    The effort has mostly been there but has picked up these last few weeks I think. I'm still a little traumatised over our Raiders capitulation at Brookie - that was deadset unforgivable

    Jamie Humphreys

    Jamie has spent the majority of his time recently at dummy half, and only recently moved back into halves - operating left side. Since Brooks also plays left, maybe a debut with a weakened forward pack wasn't the best time to switch him to the right? Maybe this was for defensive purposes? At...

    This. As well as the very unlucky timing of the Schuster release. By that time, we really didn't have a genuine shot at anyone left

    Our missing players vs last night

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Schoupp was great, Paulo did his bit. Parker still needs time in the forwards after missing pre-season. Obviously, the only real controversy was the non-selection of Humphreys. The coaching staff had genuine reasons for their decision. Was it correct? Maybe we...

    Our missing players vs last night

    The strange thing is I'm feeling more optimistic after losing to Souths now than when we beat them in Round 1. I agree that whilst losses are always painful, one should look a little closer. These past couple of years, there were countless games where we never even looked like winning, we were...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I don't think we should be worried about a succession plan if we can't get off the ground presently (or for over a decade!). The fact is, we need some immediate success. With money to spend, I'm assuming we would do as other clubs do and go to market for an established game manager. But if we...

    Our missing players vs last night

    Exactly. Our attack was always going to be terrible (and it's a shame Brooks couldn't produce something really special), but our defence actually held up. Cook, Wighton, and Walker are no slouches, and have been playing with confidence again. It could have been a nightmare for Manly. The boys...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    If we could somehow get an early release sorted for Condon, James, and Matterson, and land a killer edge/lock forward with serious leg drive, skill and aggro, we could develop guys like Bullemor and Navale, and have a very decent pack.

    Our missing players vs last night

    Almost incomparable. Our missing Trbojevic brothers equate to their Trell and Murray. Garrick cancels out Campbell-Graham, who has actually been missing for them all season. Lodge and Tatola have also been missing for most of the season respectively. Seriously, then take out our starting hooker...

    Post-Game Discussion Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    We certainly brought them down to our level. My point is that it had potential to get really ugly. Our teams in the last few years have copped some thrashings, and instead, despite Souths being underwhelming (they still had a world class spine in Cook, Wighton, Walker, and almost a full...

    Post-Game Discussion Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    Any objective look at our team list, and one can see a group of debutants, or recent debutants, NSW Cup players, fringe first graders, journey men, and a couple going in already busted up.... it was a gutsy effort. This group let in fewer tries than our full strength team had been letting in...

    Pre-Game Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    Obviously it means Schoupp can play edge forward if needed, so too guys like Lawton, and even Talau. All our edge forwards can play middle, but not all our middles can shift out. With Lawton at half, and Schoupp, whilst not disrupting our left, I am happy Seibold has taken a defensive approach...

    Pre-Game Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    Not necessarily true. Is it wise to debut a halfback when your entire forward pack is missing?
