    I also believe the deal was done last year, given dollar was seeking but couldn’t secure his release, explains the chooks last minute play for Townsend, as Savala and Smith weren’t in the picture then like they are now, Savala’s on an 85k development contract, DCE may well be their next Chad...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Maybe, just speculating, the bookies could be up to no good……surely not…….because it’s not like the dopey punting public care to understand what really goes on in the shady underworld of sports gambling………remember always gamble responsibly……..

    Yes, Tapine is a beast, he was on yesterday, Klokstad loves to eat up metres through the middle, big Joe had eyes for him all day. Shame he plays for the clappers.

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    Young Tamale looks the goods to me, I would have him in a heart beat, it’s always hard to rate players against players, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him become an elite winger and play rep footy, his ball running and aggression are exceptional for a 20 yo.

    Tommy Talau

    I think Talau should be in our starting side simple as that, his yardage carries and agression is what we need more of, his not a winger, doesn’t have the speed so no point comparing him to Saab, who is quick and not much else. Koula is no doubt more valuable to our side, but for me his wasted...

    Mainly ain't Manly anymore

    I don’t and I think the proof is self evident, I’ve never been a huge DCE fanboy, the way he started his career with us, (excluding the premiership, as that was special obviously) the I want to be paid what I’m worth part after the GF win, upsetting the senior players that took unders to stay...

    Mainly ain't Manly anymore

    Funnily enough we might end up battling for a spoon with them and Tom and Jake are almost certainly not going to play in a GF at Manly…….

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I’m cringing just thinking about it, first time back at Brookie in 10 years and we’ll probably play them back into form, Mamm will have a field day through the middle, Walsh will no doubt join in, the cherry however will be our pack v theirs………can’t wait……and no I don’t think we’ll probably win...

    Galvin

    I don’t know about that one, they already have 5 or 6 that can play 13, I like young Bailey Hayward, I see his starting at 13 this week, not sure if Salmon and Mann are injured, but they have been sharing that role all year, Haywards a high energy type and that’s what they build their side...

    Galvin

    Sounds like the deal is done, good question though, could be Parra as the original talk was Parra, wonder what number he’ll wear? if he wants to keep playing 6 with both Burton and Brown, if it was Parra, they could move Brown back into the centres as he was always a better running outside back...

    Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    We actually don’t have a great record at commbank 8/24, so getting one over the Riff there was good. I’m sure the Slime will be motivated and they are playing better footy, we just need to make sure we don’t turn up with the wrong attitude thinking this one will be 2 points in the bank, I’ll be...

    No a lot love in the chook pen for $CE Yesterday, 09:58 PM Dolphins would be a very good move for all concerned. Yesterday, 10:00 PM Please just retire DCE or go to the dogs or dolphins. Today, 06:48 AM Please go to dolphins. Sick of the mercenaries Today, 08:48 AM We don't need this old...

    Started at half for the Broncos, had a shocking beginning to his career, played 22 games lost 18 of them, his come a long way since joining the cows, I would see him as an automatic SOO selection.

    Zak Hosking, Frizell, and where I went to skool...

    Young Mule would be a great signing, his an absolute work horse, it’s a no thanks to Tyson. On Zac, even though his under contract, I doubt he’d want to come to Manly, pretty sure I can recall him talking about his future just before leaving the Riff, he was very calculated towards were his...

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Fair go, his had Simpkin at his disposal, but has opted to start Jazz all year, it wasn’t his first choice against the riff, nor last night, they were forced change around 9 and 13, but whatever you reckon.

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Well even he should see it now, wasn’t just a one off v the riff, this week just adds the extra weight, but like you mention, over to Siebs……

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Might not be quite as good as Coates, but still not bad, I thought it was actually one of his best considering he come over the top of Tualagi and held onto the ball through to grounding, we should be able to capitalise on that play more often, maybe Fog will land a few more in the right spot...

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Well we’re 3 from 3 up there and smashed them 42 12 in Rd 1, be a shame to upset the 100% strike rate at country bank, if the players want anything from this season, losings not an option.

    All NRL Games [Round 11, 2025]

    Pretty impressive win really, dogs are becoming the win from behind specialists, they were physically dominated in the first half, King was rocked, Fifita Cat 1, missing Curran, Sitili, Preston, Salmon and Fifita they just keep turning up, the big one for me is wondering if can they keep it up...
