Next weeks team?
While we will be long-odds of remaining in touch with the Bunnies this week, there is some interest in our depth, and progress on the 'next man up' depth of recent recruitment. I'd expect Schoupp has to play - if he can't win a spot with 14-15 players injured then why sign him. Guy seems a...- AlxFromNthNarra

Origin 1 - 2024
Some thoughts on Origin 1 Game was over in 8th minute. I don't care about the 'team played brave' crap, you don't win origin with a man down - to do so devalues the whole concept. Qld might actually do it, but that's only coz they have such an inferiority complex north of the border. So the...- AlxFromNthNarra

Jake Trbojevic... take a bow
I like that Madge has ignored the view of many pundits/commentators and just chosen players in form. Hard-nosed players that play with consistency, nobody 'picked on potential', aside from Nicho - who has earned it in Rounds 1-10 despite his team's flogging over the weekend which he was pulled...- AlxFromNthNarra

Post-match Interview | Manly V Melbourne
Glad the iPad was an option, thankyou @Ranga!! You folks can probably guess at how many venues in Singpore blast out NRL on a regular basis! It ain't many, they have a business to run - not helped by tipsy Aussies yelling at an iPad... This isn't Bali :D- AlxFromNthNarra

Little Gordie
When Gordie made his break and almost scooted over it was a joy to watch. When he gets in that position more often (and I am predicting he will), he won't surprise himself or panic and ice it. Lawton/Croker still needed to take the early heat of early game intensity. Gordie is a terrier you...- AlxFromNthNarra

Jake Trbojevic... take a bow
Madge got this right, and Fittler got it oh so wrong when he left Jake out G1 2023 - choosing Tevita Pangai Jnr at Prop instead?? Has so much heart that guy, he left NRL to fight, and got KTFO in 80secs in his debut. Against a nobody who had lost all his fights pretty much. No wonder they...- AlxFromNthNarra

Post-match Interview | Manly V Melbourne
100% this, yes. Great addition :) Also we were the only team who took a home game to BOTH USA and Brisbane for magic round. And Melbourne have had 7 home games this season - more than any other team in the 8. Don't really get what he was moaning about to be honest.- AlxFromNthNarra

State of Origin Team Predictions
Seems Wayde Egan is a Lithgow boy according to wiki - I'd have considered him over Robson, even if the Warriors haven't been going as good as many thought. Says he's on injury list as a concussion, which if it was HIA related would see him ready in time for the Blues yes? Haven't seen that...- AlxFromNthNarra

Blame @Ranga for feeding me wine. For the real interview, see Storm: Round 12 _________________________________ Media: Tough game Craig? Bellamy: We were poor at the start of the game, our wrestlefk tactic wasn't working, they were controlling posession, but there were good signs when the...- AlxFromNthNarra

The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD
Seibold has the team competitive in every game this year at least. Losses by 1,2,4,6 & 8 pts. No blowouts, and the only game we never looked like winning against St George came off the back of our Tier-1 blokes having a shocker, and luckily St George weren't good enough to torch us worse than...- AlxFromNthNarra

2026 recruitment & retention
I like Crichton, despite his recent dramas. Has been playing like a Brownie, or Lodge last year. Get him at a good price and you could do a lot worse.- AlxFromNthNarra

Why can’t Manly maintain a lead? (Rugby League Eye Test)
Great read and interesting stats to support the hunch I had about us switching off before half-time, inviting teams back into the games. Thanks for posting! Also don't knokw if its just me, but we seem to become far more conservative and predictable as the game goes on, whereas the first...- AlxFromNthNarra

2026 recruitment & retention
Koula is a great defensive back, which is why I wouldn't move him to the wing. While the Parra game maybe didn't show it, he has been the most solid Centre we have defensively since Parker. Talau for mine is the first recourse if the Garrick-to-centre initiative is finally canned. He is a great...- AlxFromNthNarra

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
Seibolds growing on me, and I have some observations about what I have seen of himv that I would like to share. 1- Mutual self-interest must be acknowledged and come into play here - Seibold is pursuing short-term results because he has to, his job depends on it. No point accusing him of any...- AlxFromNthNarra

Are Penrith cheating the salary cap?
Penrith are not cheating the Salary Cap. They are playing a smart long-game. They have access to the breadbasket beyond the Blue Mtns (Lithgow > Griffith East-West: Armidale to Wagga Nth-South - HUGE intake). The personal conditioning developed to 'Play for the Panthers' in those regions...- AlxFromNthNarra

Another Tiger? Aitasi James
Lets not question every depth signing we make....geez, we'll be here for eternity. As long as he's not a salary cap burden, he has the "dimensions" of a very solid player, with some air-time under his belt (even if with Tig's), and likely some fitness training in the off-season to come to...- AlxFromNthNarra
