    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Well, that’s the first positive post I’ve seen for Shu in a long time, and congrats for your insight. We have to remember that Shu seriously

    Forwards

    Seibold obviously has a strategy he is designing for 2024 and it involves lots of ball players and speed out wide. I have been really impressed with Saab in the last few weeks, with his ability to set up Koula and Garrick with his offloads (flick passes), while beating a defensive player on the...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    Tuilagi has certainly offered much more of late. I doubt we’d replace Haumole, however, with Burbo now fit, he’ll know he’s only on for around 40 minutes in 20 minute bursts, so can give his all (hopefully).

    Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic

    Burbo and Schuster know each other’s games back to front, from their junior days together, and Burbo made plenty of breaks and scored quite a few tries from Schuster’s sleight of hand. Hopefully more this weekend!

    Assistant Coach after Flanno

    As much as it sounds crazy, I’d go with Hook. I thought Holbrook, however, I think he’d want to much control. Hook would be good, because the players would respect he has been around for years. He is liked by players and he has actually had success (except Dragons - but even they like and...

    [Resurrected] Gordon Chan Kum Tong

    I think Humphries is definitely the plan, maybe not next year, however, certainly 2025. You don’t move a quality half into No9 unless there is a definite plan. GCKT is with Tartak and I think it may be 👋 bye bye, even though he has his new contract next year. Off to Tigers. I think Haumole is...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Statistics can make anything you like look good or bad, depending on further analysis. It’s not the missed tackle statistics that really make a difference, but rather what happened as a result of the missed tackle. Was it a missed tackle inside the opponent’s 10m line, which had no impact on a...

    Fainu Bros sign with Tigers.

    There’s no way the two Fainu’s are worth $4mill over 4 years, however, it’s likely to be heavily backloaded and the Tigers are hoping in 2 or 3 years they’ll get value. Both were in our Top 30, so that opens up a space for Lodge and maybe a good backline replacement. I wouldn’t be surprised if...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Schuster was pretty ordinary tonight in my opinion. Mind you, Manly’s ability to create try scoring opportunists was really ordinary.

    Optimist/Pessimist pulse .. UPDATE

    This season is so close between teams, that on any day, any team can beat another, and strange things happen, where, on their day, the last team can beat the top team. Injuries are, and always will be, the major influence to most team's success during a season (apart from a bad roster). If we...

    Samuela Fainu

    I have absolutely no idea what is going on with the Fainu brothers and the club, however, I am sure there is a strategic plan there somewhere. Maybe next week (as per Mark). Arthur has been signed as a half, however, there are rumours of him to lock (he’ll need to put on weight!). Humphries...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    It’s a shame Weekes hasn’t blossomed like I thought he may have. He certainly has talent, and despite some good pre season form, he just isn’t ‘cutting it’ at the moment. I note the club rested almost all of the Top 30 last weekend, including development players. I know they had the week off...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    I don’t think Fifita or Tino will move south, so I think it’s the Dolphins. Personally, I think they’ll stay at Titans, as Des is a good man manager, and he’ll be on the phone. Realistically, a close competition is a great competition and while the Dragons, Tiger and Bulldogs are struggling...

    Assist coach 2024 ?

    Rumour today in the Telecrap that a certain club is sniffing around Holbrook, in the hope of maybe picking up Fifita and Tino. It couldn’t be Manly, as we have no cap space apparently. It’s more likely the Dragons, Dolphins, Bulldogs or Eels. Chooks may have space as well!!!

    I'm happy with Woods being at Manly, because he wants to be at Manly and its always been his dream. A guy who comes to watch Manly play, because he's always supported the club, when he's p[aying for another team, says it all for me. Passion! Woods maynot not set the forest on fire, however, he...

    Manase and Croker would have been a great interchange, however, it isn't going to happen. GCKT is managed by Tartak, so I think we can say goodbye to him, even if his official contract doesn't start until next year, but hopefully not. From what I've heard from sources, and it could be BS, but...

    Keppie

    Our problem is the 'Engine room' and the ability to make metres and post contact metres, and then line speed in defence, to nullify metres gained by the opposition. Paseka has shown glimpses of potential, however, he seems to be 'hot and cold', but, he is getting better each season and as he...

    General NRL chat

    The rumour in the SMH last week was an immediate swap of Latu Fainu for Tommy Talau, and it sort of makes sense with neither player playing last weekend.

    The Luke Brooks Book Thread.

    I think the Brooks signing may be a huge coup, and he’ll work well with DCE. I think Mestrov may be playing ‘hard ball’ with Tartak. Mestrov is a hard nosed GM, and won’t stuff around with recalcitrant player managers, and he’ll have the ear of other GM’s as well. The sooner Tartak gets out...

    Latu Fainu

    I have said it before and I'll say it again, Tartak is a scourge on any club where he has players who are on his books, and he always will be. However, if you were a Pacifica player or the family of same, he would be right up there with who you would go to straight to employ as a manager. I...
