    Matt Lodge... Signed.

    Probably right. Is on a train and trial deal there, so might be swayed... but unlikely

    Matt Lodge... Signed.

    My opinion changed on two players this year, one of whom was Matt Lodge. Let me explain... First of all, I used to hate Matt Lodge with a passion. Absolute F'wit playing doing what he did. I even hate the look of him. Just came across as a typical meathead. Then I came across him at a local...

    Matt Lodge... Signed.

    Last post on that topic was in July. Darn a lot has changed since then. He had a pretty good back end of the season for the Roosters, and as for us... Well the world has shifted.

    Matt Lodge... Signed.

    Hello all. It always appears that we are trying to sign someone off contract who may play above their contract weight e.g. recent suggestions have included Corey Allan and Nathan Brown. What are thoughts on Matt Lodge? Yes he's an Fwit, but he's a mean F'wit and lets face it we need someone to...

    Corey Allan

    M May also mean that Siebold knows him and tries to pick him up cheap. Saying this we don't need backs. We need a mean front rower/enforcer and a hooker. We have enough wingers.

    Corey Allan

    No doubt he has talent. But if we're serious about challenging for titles, and continuing to do so, we need to build winning culture on and off the field. Some players may have enough talent or ability that you would take them regardless of dramas (say Latrell Mitchell for example), but Corey...

    Corey Allan

    Being ejected from a couple of clubs now despite obviously having some talent. Not sure about everyone else but my 'Fwit Alert' is tingling when I hear him associated with Manly.

    Dessie wants a Mil ...

    If you ever have the chance to speak with him in person he doesn't mumble around at all. He seems to do it to mess with journalists.

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    At the end of the day we just don't know what happened. I would say though that any marketing team worth their salt would have realised there was an apocalyptic level ****storm coming and spoken up. That's part of their job. It is also possible that they raised the issue and were told to zip it...

    Sonny Bill .. Flogged

    Disagree. Hunt came in really out of condition and looked heavily gassed. He looked to take a second to catch his breath while Gallen recovered, which he does quite often especially later in his career in the UFC. Hunt looked more like he was in a sparring match than a real fight. Shame he was a...

    Google Fedor vs Kevin Randleman = Epic.

    [Resurrected] 2021+ On & Off Season Misdemeanors

    I dare say the court prosecutors accepted a guilty plea to assault occasioning, rather than going through a hearing for a wounding where he might get off.

    Nathan Brown... Please no. He's the ultimate flat track bully. He's a hero and goes hard when his own team is well on top. When teams even look at him with a mean glare he melts away. I guess he would have fit right in for the last couple of years with our record, but if we want to move...

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    Absolutely tough as nails. Possibly my best ever 2nd rower. But playing the game the way he did, maybe some CTE showing.

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    I both agree and disagree with this comment. Roberts yes is well qualified to speak on the issue. Aloiai is equally as qualified to speak on the issue from his perspective. Oh well everyone has opinions... I lost you though when you spoke of his class. When this all originally blew up, he said...

    2023 Team

    He had an ACL reconstruction didn't he? I can't remember the timeline of mine, but when I had it done it stabilizes pretty quickly and you can walk short distances and even jog in a straight line. It's the lateral movement that's the killer. Statistically speaking the more time he spends in...

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    We really set the standard pretty low for role models these days, and as a parent I wouldn't worry too much. I used to love Boony. Back in the day he was an absolute hero. By todays standards he'd be a boozer pest drinking 20 schooeys on an airplane. Reallistically the role models these days...

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    Strictly hypothetical, or at least I hope so. Peeps are so upset at this guy for sticking up for his beliefs. And some seem to be saying that we wouldn't sign him again given those beliefs regardless of his playing abilities. If you were a player of some religious background would you go to...

    Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025

    If it's being considered that Manly do not sign players of faith (to the degree that they refuse to wear a certain jersey), then you might consider that you probably take away a third of players (based upon 10 players refusing to play out of the squad of 30). If we were playing unders for...

    I wonder if Vlandys will bring in an inclusivity round? I wonder how many other teams would be in trouble?
