    Lehi Hopoate

    I think the club is planning for a Zaidas/ Ashton dummy half pairing, with Zaidas ready for NRL first (probably as early as next year, or even some stints at the back end of this year). Ashton likely to be our 14 in 2027. They would be similar to the B.Smith/Grant combo at Storm, with Zaidas...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Seibold is way out of his depth. Completely unsuited to head of a rugby league team. I couldn't be bothered listing the many many reasons why. I am embarrassed that he is our head coach, that Penn is our owner, and a d*ckhead named Cherry-Evans is our captain. Absolutely rotten leadership trio

    Yeah fair enough

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Yeah I reckon Koula makes a great winger, especially for yardage. I would also move Haumole to the middle and make him our Payne Hass

    Seibold presser ..

    Matty Ballin as head coach and Choc as assistant would probably bring back some of that tough mentality

    Seibold presser ..

    Saab needs to wind up and get to a high enough speed for him to have any momentum in the tackle. Certainly not effective, but he literally has no other chance of gaining metres. We probably have the worst back 3 in the comp for yardage But on Seibold, he is a terrible coach on many levels. His...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Ola'akautu, Hopoate, Paseka, Bullemor, Saab are our only genuine priorities (5) Brooks, Koula, Garrick, Talau not fussed either way (4) Navale, Muagututia, O.Large, Walsh, Laiafi, Dunford, A.Large really hoping these guys develop according to their potential - and quickly! (7) The Trbojevics...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    If the great DCE and Brooks can't get on top of their opposites Flanagan and Ilias with a near full strength backline at home, and our pack minus 2 after their embarrassing displays recently, then we are done for the year. Dragons missing a couple of forwards too, and are an average team...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Anything less than a win tonight is unacceptable. Seibold still has a more talented team than Saints, at home, after a couple of extremely poor showings. I have faith they can steady the ship. Otherwise, he has lost the dressing room imo

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    If Faulalo is picked ahead of Navale against a very big Dragons side while we are missing our best 2 props, then either Seibold is not confident Saab (or another outside back) is fully fit, or he's a fkn idiot. I can't see a third reason.

    Manase

    Literally the one and only season I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and was proud to support, my team since the back end of 2014. We had top 4 defence (until the last few injury-riddled rounds), tough and gritty, while blasting through the middle of our opponents. Just good footy. I thought it was...

    Galvin

    Galvin to Manly talk is madness. If we had a bunch of exciting forwards knocking down the door coming from our juniors, then fair enough. But we need to learn from past mistakes, and not try to emulate what might work for another club with different strengths. We must look at what we have...

    Seibold Ball

    If all 20,000 Manly Members each paid a one-off payment of say $1500, and an ongoing weekly payment of $20/week, we could buy out Penn, vote in our board and president, have our expert strategies put in place, and tip in an additional $20Mil pa on top of business earnings year on year... it...

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    I would like to see Schoupp at centre. Surely he's next in line when 2 starters are out

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    I guess my understanding would be that Croker comes in for Jazz, and Jazz in turn returns to a mobile middle who can fight for a bench spot with Sips or Brown. Surely Simpkin stays at 14

    Surely Seibs won't be dropping Simpkin

    Seibold Ball

    Wholeheartedly agree. How is it fat shaming?? We are talking about elite athletic performance. If we expect the players to be in shape, train hard, eat well, then the head coach, and trainers should be leading by example. This should not be that controversial. If anything, culture and respect...

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    The truth is that The Manly Way is a Seibold-coined PR catch phrase that means nothing but all show and no substance.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I've said it before, but the beginning of DCE was the end of Manly. He single-handedly ripped apart a generational team of champions, hamstrung our salary cap, and created a vacuous team culture that reflected his own character, dominating any coach or system that could instill authority over...

    Seibold Ball

    I still maintain Arthur would be better for us than Seibold. (Just a random observation, and I'm not trying to fat shame, but is Seibold the only NRL head coach who isn't personally a fit guy? It says a lot about his own discipline and self-control, and I can't imagine a man like that would...
