    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    After watching that performance from Cherry, I also want him out. What happened to giving his all for the club and his teammates for his final hurrah? Whether he likes it or not, he is the captain of this club. And he was completely disinterested and disconnected out there.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    He was always going to be judged on the team's results, and the results this year have been terrible. So really, who's going to be shouting his praises from the rooftops? I feel a little for the guy because the players he's got at his disposal - especially the ones who should be leading the way...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    Our forwards are terrible and our captain checked out months ago. If we don't get the wooden spoon it will not be for lack of trying.

    Tom Turbo .. interesting if true

    I mean, if Tom was selected as the 18th man for Origin, it was a terrible selection - and not just because he was ordinary tonight. He's been well below par all year, and nowhere near full fitness at any stage. So, yes, he should not have had to make the choice between club and state because he...

    Passion for the club

    F**k me, I wish the players at least would show some passion for the club. Not on the cards, apparently.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    On tonight's "effort" so far, I'd be keeping Jazz Tevaga and no one else. Can we build a team around Jazz Tevaga? [And even though that may sound like a joke, it's really not. He's the only one who's looked like he actually wants to be there.]

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Most disappointing thing is the complete lack of leadership on the field. After that, it's the complete lack of desire to compete. Cherry looks like he has either forgotten how to run or just doesn't care. Haumole is having another one of those games where he is taking the wrong option every...

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Yes, we finally have some consistency. But really, we were always more likely to be consistently bad than consistently good. Which way to the Dark Mode thread again? There is zero fight in this team.

    I love Turbo but understand this completely. Having Turbo in your team means you need to carry a back on the bench or be prepared to re-shuffle your backline (which never works out well: see the Newcastle game last week) at any time. It's always a risk. It comes down to whether or not you...

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Dream scenario: We put 60 on them, Des is given the full support of the Board on Monday, is sacked on Wednesday, and begins legal proceedings against the Titans on Thursday. Nightmare scenario: We get out to an early lead, look like a capable NRL team, but are pulled back just before half time...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Yeah, even though our win-loss, win-loss pattern suggests a win, I don't have a good feeling about this one. If the opposition decides they might also want to win the game, we will struggle. Usually you'd say, "It's not about the other team, it's about us", but I'm not so sure with this current...

    Ordinary for a decade is what we do around here! BA would fit right in.

    Trys or tries ?

    Yeah, it's "tries". But I still remember the English rugby league commentator who used "tri" as the singular, excitedly yelling out, "T-R-I, Try!"

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I am not Cherry's biggest fan and hate the way his latest self-created saga has played out. I also think his form has been less than stellar. And from a Manly perspective, I honestly don't know if we'd be better off with or without him in our team right now. But I still reckon dropping him would...

    Although it's WAY funnier when it's not happening at your club. And it'll be even funnier when he sues the Titans after they sack him.

    All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

    Oddly enough, that dip in form last year (after Johnson's stellar year the season before) is one of the reasons I'm convinced they can go all the way. For a lot of teams (Exhibit A: The Broncos, Exhibit B: The Eels, Exhibit C: Probably Manly), once they start going backwards, they stay going...

    All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think the Warriors can and will (why not go all in?) win the competition this year. I just really like the look of their team, and if they can stay healthy I think they can match anyone. I think Webster is a very smart coach, too.

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I’m not in any tipping comps, but my wife is. When she asked about this game I told her to tip the Knights because I knew we could not string two decent games together. She was worried I’d steered her wrong at halftime, but I told her a collapse was a given: 16-nil is the worst possible lead...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Will answer the question I posed earlier: Yes, it surely can happen again. This team cannot be trusted. Unless, of course, you’re expecting disappointment. On that, they can truly deliver.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Sadly, sums us up since way before Seibold was our coach.
