    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    DCE is actually quite arrogant, as all great playmakers should be. But attempting to psyche out your opponent when you are the defender, as opposed to when ball is in hand, is not just reckless, it's tactically absurd. I often wonder if his standing wasn't so big at Manly, or if someone like...

    The scales of Reuben.

    And the worst part is not even the fact that he comes in like he does, but that he doesn't even do this consistently - so his his 2nd rower and centre can't even adapt over the course of a game, let alone a season. If you at least knew your halfback jams in out of the line in certain scenarios...

    Seibs Going Right Off at Presser.

    That's not the point. It's about controlling the narrative played out in the media. If the media get a sniff of underperformance, the public pile-on begins, which fuels a spiralling amount of pressure on the club to act. Seibold got pummelled in Brisbane once the media started their feeding...

    Seibs Going Right Off at Presser.

    If he can't make a good lock, then he should be depth only. But certainly no more dummy half

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    When the going gets tough... Everytime I let myself believe, even for a moment, that this team can do something special, they wilt under the slightest of pressures. I knew Brailey would be a handful and that Nikora would carve us up, but I thought at Brookie, our guys would step up and really...

    The scales of Reuben.

    I find it a little bemusing that a lot of posters single out Garrick when our right edge defence has been a significant liability for us over many seasons. There has been one consistent during this time, none other than DCE. Yesterday was yet another example of our halfback making it virtually...

    Game Day: Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    Sharks just too good for us today. One step ahead across the board, faster, tighter, every collision... Manly hanging on by a thread. Doesn't look good

    Brad Parker confirms retirement

    Hope he stays involved with the club in some capacity. Manly through and through. Wishing him the best of luck

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    Another option: 1. Hopoate 2. Faulalo 3. Garrick 4. Talau 5. Koula

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    We have gone from being the 10th ranked team in attack last year, to the 3rd this year. This may have something to do with Brooks

    2024 Player Farewells

    I think Paulo as depth for high injury toll to our back 5 is a pretty handy option.

    Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    For all intents and purposes, tonight is Week 1 of Finals. Manly to bounce back in a big way - Rip in boys !!!

    Miserable Middles To Dominate Middles.

    Certainly don't dislike him personally, and agree completely that he has played considerably more consistent this year. My point is that I consider him a decent middle-of-the-road NRL prop when fit, but nothing more. Whilst Paseka has the athletic attributes, he just doesn't have the character...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Like him or dislike him, one thing is certain: all the great coaches keep things simple. He clearly has an astute strategic mind for the game. But you can't out-think an opposition who want it more, and is willing to fight tooth and nail for their teammates and coach. Until he toughens up the...

    Miserable Middles To Dominate Middles.

    Collectively, they're as soft as our coach. Considering how nice the Trbojevics are, the team really needs to counter-balance this with some angry, aggressive forwards. One can't ignore the fact that the bulk of our middles were looking for contract extensions recently. Aloiai, Brown, Paseka...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    It's true our edge forward stocks seem to lag in terms of 'eliteness'. Having said that, maybe the combination of Burbo, Chee Kam, possibly Talau, Schoupp all competing for a first grade start on our left edge, will produce a similar end result as having 1 top line player prone to season...

    Lehi Hopoate

    Will came into the best team in the comp, so his stats also reflect being on the end of a Premiership-winning team. Will was great no doubt, but for mine, Lehi is even better. Athletically, both effortless, even graceful. But Lehi can ball play and read things like an experienced spine player...

    Navren Willett

    As long as he loves the dirty work. I would love to see a no-nonsense attitude to contact and getting the better of his opposite. Most importantly, he must be a solid defender. I have my doubts with this one

    Aaron Schoupp

    Isaah Yeo a little over 5 years ago though, so too Jack Bird, following guys like Luke Lewis. More recently, up at Redcliffe, Connelly Lemeuela. Some of the most potent modern day backrowers were former backs Dylan Walker, Tyrone Peachey, Euan Aitken. Plus of course former backs who have...
