    Fox Sports 2025 Top 4 prediction

    Agreed, except that I don't think Arthur will be putting on a minimum of 10kg anytime soon. He is extremely slight for his height (weighs less than most halfbacks), and tbh by now I would have hoped he would have put on at least 5kg over the last couple of seasons but if, in fact, he is still at...

    So far off the pace

    Agreed. I would even consider putting Talau at left centre and Koula as our super sub weapon at 14 to come on and tear through the middle as games open up. Tolu struggles to get involved at centre for the most part, but I think would be a game changer coming off the bench. A left edge of...

    2025 Rule Changes

    Rabs' bellow of "Webcke!" as the big man hurtled himself into the Blues' line at first kick off during Origin was always a favourite memory of mine. The raw and gladiatorial nature of the game, which really set it apart from almost every other team sport in the world, is being eroded away bit by...

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    While it may seem inconceivable for many to put our current best fullback at centre, without a doubt, we become a far stronger team with Turbo at right centre and the prodigious Lehi as our fullback. Turbo at right centre strengthens one of our biggest weaknesses. He plays this position so...

    Bateman... no, no, no, no, no

    Bateman's skill, agility, aggression, high work rate, and experience is exactly what we need in our backrow stocks. A current international with great defence and x-factor with ball in hand, this is a no-brainer. Obviously with most talents, the coach will need to get him focused and in-line...

    2025

    Well if Seibold really believed those words, and that is to officially be our blueprint moving forward, he is more obtuse than I have started to give him credit for, and our club will be in for another several years of mediocrity. Everyone knows in rugby league, when playing the good teams, if...

    2025

    This is almost exactly my preference, with a couple of tweaks imo: - I would swap Talau and Koula, as Tolu would be more dynamic coming off the bench through the middle. - For the same reason, I would also swap Aloiai and Paseka. Josh could give it his all for the first 20 and just keep it...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Bateman...big yes from me. Get it done Manly. If he buys in to Seibold's set up, could offer great value to our team. Some saying he comes across as arrogant? Good. Choc was plenty arrogant.

    So far off the pace

    So far off the pace when compared with who? 11 out of our 16 competitor NRL clubs were convincingly "off the pace" when compared to Manly in 2024. Of the remaining 5, Townsville was no better. That leaves the top 4. No one should really by contending with Melbourne, Easts, and (now) Penrith...

    Credit to Manly

    No doubt about it. However, Manly would be wise to not repeat this scenario on Saturday. If the Roosters dominate the ruck and field position for 70 mins like the Dogs did, we will not be able to repeat an 'Ali v Foreman' against a much stronger opposition

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I have been fairly vocal re my strong doubts in Seibold from the get go. I must say, regardless of the result next Saturday, he has done a fantastic job for our club. I can't believe I'm saying this, but no question, he deserves an extension

    Pre-Game Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

    Roosters have a lot more strike and experience than the Dogs, and won't self-destruct. We'll need to be better. We'll need to be a lot more dominant in the ruck, get out of our red zone more effectively, and increase our line speed by a few notches. But a win is certainly within our means

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

    Gutsy performance, weathered the early beating from a near perfect Canterbury. A couple of exceptional tries. Well done lads enjoy the win tonight ...then back to work tomorrow morning as we need to be a hell of a lot better next week! Still in it to win it baby

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    Have you seen Manly the moment Jake's not on the field ? Lol If Jake missed a full season as his brother regularly does, I have no doubt we end that year with the spoon. Considering how sh*t our forward pack has been for a long time now, maybe Jake isn't paid enough? (Not really...but you get...

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    The only players on that list that I would rate higher than Jake in terms of being instrumental in gaining wins for their team over the course of a season would be Yeo, Carrigan (who are both underpaid), and Murray. There's no doubt Jake has slowed, and the 6-again era has not been kind to his...

    The scales of Reuben.

    I didn't know that correctly identifying the main cause of Garrick's defensive issues is 'crushing' on Garrick lol. There are already 6 pages of guys crucifying the bloke for something that is not of his fault. Goose
