    Lehi Hopoate

    Pretty sure he was born in 2009, so that means he won't be 18 until 2027. Correct me if I am wrong, and you have a more recent source. I believe he's been well ahead of his age level since he was about 14.

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

    From the get go a few weeks back, I thought we were, and still are, a better chance of winning this game, than we were against Sharks and Dragons. I tipped that way too. Something about us having absolutely zero expectations of winning, getting Turbo back (probably), possibly getting a more...

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

    If I have to make a prediction from the above, also on the basis that we apparently might get Turbo back (even though I'd rest him) 1. Turbo 2. Saab 3. Koula 4. Garrick 5. Hopoate 6. Brooks 7. DCE - honestly close to being dropped 8. Aloiai - I bloody hope he's back 9. Simpkin 10. TKO 11...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Purely from a cap space perspective. He's an absolute gun, but I think Garrick is the more complete player, particularly on the wing in my lineup. 400-500k becomes available for a forward.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    I genuinely think Croker may be medically retiring soon. I've been a fan of him, gutsy player, something we lack everywhere else. He's big on education, and I actually think he would make a good coach. I think the rebuild couldn't come sooner. The Trbojevic contracts are two years too long, and...

    MVP: Rd 7 v Dragons

    Agree with you. No clue what Ola was on tonight. 3 - Hoppa, he is the future. 2 - Simpkin, game actually flowed. 1 - TKO, was really putting in tonight.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I was a fan of Des despite some stupid selection choices, until the end. I am a fan of Seibold despite some stupid selection choices, up to this point. For reference, I thought Barrett was an absolute fraud. Buffoon. Since Tooves, we've been rolling through coaches, and it's almost like...

    This team are also rans!

    The problem with Seibold, or literally any Manly Coach™ under Scott Penn is this fundamental problem: 1. They must include the "favourites" of the previous generation, that they didn't sign. 2. They must be either mediocre, or finals-bound every year, or else Scotty gets angry and sacks them...

    Won’t win another game this year!

    I can't tell if you're just the master of hyperbole or if you kick potted flowers when you see them. Tonight's loss was relatively simple. - DCE playing second fiddle to bloody Luke Brooks and 20-year-old Lehi Hopoate, and being close to his old match fixing allegation form. - Seibold not...

    If we get him on about the same money as Brooks (650k) I'll be happy. It'll be the true test of whether we would've been better off with one DCE or two solid halves the last decade.

    Raiders are now tabling a 2-year, $1 million extension. Undoubtedly we'd have to offer more to beat them now. If we see Brooks and Turbo in the halves next year, that'll be incredibly embarrassing. I believe the club said that Adam Reynolds was next on the list? Possibly Foran too, somehow.

    Galvin

    The Spoonbold people have emerged from literally nowhere off the back of two losses - it's like they actually want to see us go badly, so they can scratch their nihilistic itch of seeing someone lose their job. Club problems? Long term roster problems? Depth problems (which have been...

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

    If you're losing Aloiai, you should be doing... (Keep in mind the numbers will look stupid here) 13. Jake 14. Simpkin 10. Taukeiaho 11. Olakau'atu 12. Burbo 15. Brown 9. Tevaga - playing as a middle 16. Bullemor 18. Faulalo 21. Navale This way you get three forwards on the bench, and manage to...

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

    I don't think this would be different for any other team in the NRL, with the same travel. Maybe for NQLD or NZ, where it's necessary, but otherwise I think other coaches would do the same. Of all things to call Seibold out on this isn't it. Picking Sipley is.

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

    Looks like Navale is training with first grade, as is Waddell (still suspended): https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2025/04/16/galley-round-7-captains-run/ Also, what the hell is going on with Brown here? They have very clearly edited something out, I have absolutely no clue what.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Long term, I hope our direction in recruitment changes. Let's say Large, Walsh, Hoppa, and one of Ashton Large or Zaidas Muagututia fire in first grade, in the spine. They want to earn their keep. I'd much prefer us to let one of them go, to maintain a strong middle, than just resigning them all...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I'll be first to admit that Garrick needs to improve at centre - certainly. I think overall the number of tries he lets in there isn't great, but by far, it is not our biggest defensive problem. I prefer him at centre, and still do, as he is a gun player, whose second carries and attacking...

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

    I remember last year for the Rnd 26 Bulldogs game, which was the start of our run into the finals, he dumped Burbo to 18th man, installed Lawton into the second row, and made Lodge start in Aloiai's spot. That was all done the hour before kickoff. I seriously hope he has the guts to make similar...

    Does this sound familiar? 🤣🤣🤣 “I totally understand my decision will frustrate many Wests Tigers fans, but please know that it wasn’t an easy call to make,” Galvin said. “It’s a decision that I have discussed at length with my parents, closest friends and family. I’m extremely grateful for...
