The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
I probably shouldn't say it but if I'm honest I feel a little betrayed by whole Schuster saga. I realise he was struggling with a few issues but I'm not convinced that was the whole story. Losing 250k out of our cap for the next three years has left a bitter taste in mouth and whilst I will wish...- Andrew..

The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD
We had a good coach in Flanagan but we let him slip through our fingers, we kept the wrong bloke. Saints were a basket case before he took over and I won't be surprised if they finish higher than us.- Andrew..

2026 recruitment & retention
I reckon the Bulldogs did a sneaky move and possibly paid TPJ out to get him off their books and the whole boxing thing was more of a ruse. They now have almost as many sponsorship opportunities as the Roosters. They are sponsored buy the Laundy hotel group with an estimated worth of $1.4...- Andrew..

2026 recruitment & retention
Young Hopoate had a stellar debut and I share the same concerns that he may be lost to another club, but the clubs already shown its hand by taking him to Las Vegas and having him train with the first grade squad. For his sake I'm hoping his parents show a little more patience and allow him to...- Andrew..

2026 recruitment & retention
Tonight on NRL360 they stated that South's, Penrith and Canterbury are all interested in Utoikumanu. I'd love for us to throw our hat in the ring but realistically I don't like our chances.- Andrew..

Moments - The last 10 minutes
The Refs are mic'd up so they should have to inform the bunker of any penalty immediately. And while I'm at it, the six-again rule is utter bulls*#*. It's a free-for-all where refs now have the power to "manage" the game with almost impunity. We all want to see a free-flowing match but it's NRL...- Andrew..

Lehi Hopoate
I'd choose a fully fit Tommy any day of the week but, the reality of the situation is Tom's injuries are now chronic. For the last 5 years, Tom has missed huge chunks of the season. Fullback is more of a specialist position; these constant disruptions make it harder for the team to build...- Andrew..

The Clean Out 2024 Post
Who ever we sign in the future i hope the club considers keeping contracts to a maximum of 3 or 4 years. I understand the desire to lock up the next superstar but it really does leave the club vulnerable if things don't pan out. We should just back ourselves and hope the player is happy enough...- Andrew..

Agreed, and wish him well but I rolled my eyes at his insistence on only playing 5/8 in the future. That small statement speaks volumes.- Andrew..

Elliot Whitehead tore us a new one a couple of weeks ago but he'll be 35yo next year and I'm not sure we can afford that type of risk. We definitely need impact right now but it would be great to pick up a player with little more longevity...as much as I think Ben is a nice kid he needs to sink...- Andrew..

The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group
It's just getting so much harder for the non wealthy clubs to stay competitive and unfortunately thats what we are nowadays. What makes it worse is the that most of us have grown up watching Manly as a powerhouse when Arko had the same clout as Politis. As a result we were forced to gamble and...- Andrew..

The Clean Out 2024 Post
Let's be honest Turbo and Jake will be playing for us on their current salary until their contracts are up for re-negotiation. So we have to make the best of our current situation and apart from positional changes our only other option is to identify and invest in youth. Losing is always a...- Andrew..

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]
Every player has a mistake or two in them but Garrick has done this sort of stuff regularly since he's moved to centre. I'm not throwing my toys out of the cot and calling for his head, I'm just saying IMO for the sake of the team Garrick is a better winger.- Andrew..

Garrick or Koula for No 1
Also, how does a coach agree to a players demands when they are clearly not in the teams interest. I can't imagine Bellamy or Bennett falling for it. Even St George are letting Lomax go because of his demands to play in the position of his choice.- Andrew..

Genuine Question: I read that fullbacks cover more meters than any other player. Do extra meters mean more stress on the hamstrings? or is the stop-start of accelerating that causes issues? Or perhaps Tom is just prone to such problems. A fit and firing Turbo is a site to behold but 6 seems a...- Andrew..
