    Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    The only thing I would tweak would be a fit Aloiai on the bench over Crokes. If Jazz and Simpkin perform well in their 13 and 9 positions, and Navale kicks on as hoped. I would think we need a little more size from our middles? This keeps a spot left on the bench for Talau 8. Trbojevic 9...

    2026 Captain

    Jake would seem like the obvious choice considering Tom spends too much time out, but he is not known for his training standards. He himself doesn't shy away from the fact that training is not his strong point, but when it comes to game day, there is no fiercer competitor, nor a more loyal Manly...

    Too much speed?

    How good was Matai taking those early runs from dummy half. He was always quick to get there, deceive the markers, gain 10m through sheer acceleration, and get a quick play the ball. Even if our wingers miss their mark, Koula and Garrick should be rushing in to dummy half for a scoot, and not...

    I feel that way about Tyson Gamble for some reason, but don't really know why

    Hooker

    I was all for Starling, especially considering his playing relationship with Fogarty, and the fact his contract situation and value translates to actual attainability for Manly. But after watching Simpkin's performance on Saturday, I think we should back Jake all the way. Zaidas and Ashton to...

    I think the issue, for me at least, was before that contract, and instead when it became known that a first year rookie who found himself in a premiership winning team, said he will stop training if he doesn't immediately see more money. Imagine you are part of a tight-knit group, who worked...

    Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Well done lads, great win. The most controlled and disciplined game in over 8 months. Simpkin, Taukeiaho, Tevaga, Bullemor, Navale great middle third performance. Garrick continues to impress with his growth and maturity Ola'akautu and Tom our match winners. Stoked all day today

    Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Actually very interested to see this new look pack play today - looks to be a more mobile rotation. Bully, Jazz, Navale have leg speed over Aloiai, Jake, Sipley respectively. Hoping that Talau improves on yardage carries over Saab. And who knows, maybe Simpkin-Gordie combo may provide more...

    Good thing we hired Seibold then

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Love your optimism, and we should be optimistic given this kind of feels like the last stand. Unfortunately, I see nothing but an almighty shellacking coming our way. Probably the most feeble middle third in the comp, now missing Jake with our other defensive stalwart Croker. No Paseka, and...

    Starling is the one we need

    Yes a good kicking game is critical. But this is one of DCE's best qualities, and it hasn't helped us a great deal. Maybe this is the reason we haven't picked up a wooden spoon (although I doubt this - if anything, Jake's ruck defence would be the single determining factor in helping Manly avoid...

    The bulk of this logic is based on the assumption that we will be mediocre without DCE, as you put it. If we are currently not a mediocre team, then what are we? How much worse could we be with this forward pack? Would not it be wiser to use much needed cap space on actually fixing the very...

    Middle Forwards

    We need Haumole in the middle. Put Schoupp right edge forward

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Might be a good opportunity to see Simpkin for 80min and Tevaga as lock/prop where he belongs. If Bullemor and Aloiai both play, and play well, then the pack might still resemble a first grade side 08 Aloiai 09 Simpkin 10 Taukeiaho 11 Ola'akautu 12 Trbojevic 13 Tevaga / Brown 14 Brown /...

    The Elephant in the room

    It will almost be impressive if Seibold can somehow be involved in another wooden spoon at another historically successful club in such a short space of time. Who would have thought that a wooden spoon is also technically "breaking the cluster"?

    We're also 2 points off 16th lol. But ladder position at this stage is not the thing that is concerning

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Gus Gould is the club whisperer. Bringing in Ciraldo, getting the football department to run to its potential, streamlining and building up a junior pathways program, seem to be even more effective than having a super rich owner (although this obviously helps). Frank Ponissi is probably the...

    Seibold presser ..

    I've never heard a successful coach say repeatedly that their team is a top 4 team, and "we're trying to break the cluster" etc etc, before the season has even started no less. What happened to "let's just put our heads down for this week?" It couldn't be a worse way to mind f*ck the players'...

    The Haumole Bible.

    The DCE-Haumole combo has always been virtually non-existent, and also to the detriment of Haumole's game. In attack, he is squandered, and in defending our try line, our flog of a 7 often leaves an impossible 15m space between he and his second rower for Haumole to cover, as the headless...
