    Aaron Schoupp

    Agreed. Obviously with our shortage of edge forwards and our abundance of centres, Schoupp should be trained almost exclusively this pre-season as edge forward. Loves the tough stuff, would be very mobile in this position and already over 100kg. I see potential for he, Burbo and Talau to be our...

    The scales of Reuben.

    Your comment on trusting DCE I think touches on something critical. DCE has good contact and tackling technique, but we all know is prone to knee-jerk reactions as panic sets in. This happens with and without ball in hand. Defending outside Chez would literally be the toughest position on the...

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    With no offence intended, one of the most absurd statements I've read on here in a while. To even put him in the same sentence as Killer is almost laughable. Without a doubt, the sixth player to drop out of the backline would be Talau, despite his good form in 2024. But as I and many others...

    [Resurrected] Michael Chee Kam

    If he is replacing either Condon or Matterson (who are both currently signed for 2025), then fine. If this is supposed to be Lawton and/or Schuster's replacement, then a completely unacceptable signing imo.

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    Certainly become more consistent and purposeful in doing his role. Just wish he got a little mean and p*ssed off occasionally

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2024]

    Our middles look a little outgunned this week. Paseka needs to have a blinder

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    I think Seibold making this public statement is the club's "official" position on the matter so there is no possibility of ill-feeling or unrest, particularly amongst the senior playing group, who may perceive a lack of loyalty etc from the coach, especially considering Croker has been injured...

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    Solid statistical analysis mate, thanks for putting in the work. Whilst everyone can see our attack has been more direct of late with slicker dummy half service from Simpkin, our defence has also improved, despite some proclaiming we are missing Croker's presence here - your stats are actually...

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    For mine, Croker should join the middles at lock. Mobile, ball-playing tackling machine. 08 Trbojevic 09 Simpkin 10 Aloiai 11 Ola'akautu 12 Lawton 13 Brown 14 Chan Kum Tong 15 Bullemor...

    Is a good loss a thing?

    This is why I believe Talau should be moved to edge forward (to replace Lawton), Navale and Dunford in the middle to join Bullemor and Brown. And Croker to lock forward. This will greatly improve pack mobility. I wouldn't carry any more than 2 big boppers. For mine, Paseka and Laiafi. Jake is...

    Post-Game Discussion Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    But it still doesn't account for the differing number of games teams have played due to the real-world application of a Bye round. I.e. byes don't just mean 2 points, they also mean that there is never any point in the season proper where all teams have played an equal number of games. It's like...

    Is a good loss a thing?

    2 wins from 10 games away from the comfort of Brookie (not including Vegas). When 15,000+ fans are screaming support from the sidelines, this team play like champs. Take that away from them, and they crumble instantaneously. This is softness personified. Every single time, there seems to be a...

    Will Croker be back?

    Yes Croker should be transitioned to a 13 type role / utility

    Credit to coach

    Personally, I was horrified at the Seibold appointment. And whilst many appreciated his different approach to media and PR over the last 18 months, I saw it all as just means of manipulation, great propaganda but merely the toolkit of a con man, or at the least, a wannabe coach seriously lacking...

    Game Day: Manly V Titans [Round 20, 2024]

    DCE still rattled from Wednesday. Even by his erratic standards, this is one almighty sh*t performance. If Manly can win in spite of him, it will be a Brookie miracle today

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Procrastinating... My 2025 list: BACK 5 Trbojevic, Hopoate, Koula, Garrick, Saab, Faulalo, Paulo, Vaega* BACK 5 / EDGE FORWARD Talau, Trbojevic, Schoupp EDGE FORWARD Ola'akautu, ???*** EDGE...

    Garricks performance at centre

    Turbo calling the shots really helped Garrick. I fear DCE's erratic organisational skills will only slow Reubs' progress. DCE should focus on kicking, Brooks on running. Both must straighten the attack and provide space for their outside men when in the red zone. But in terms of shapes and...

    Thanks but I was hoping for "promote that man!". (Sorry I'm a Simpsons tragic)

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Knights [Round 19, 2024]

    Yes a noticeable improvement. We are currently 6th best team defensively (tries conceded). Whilst still missing a lot of tackles, our systems as a whole, and scramble for one another, have improved dramatically.
