    Very accurate summary....unfortunately

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    Agree with your assessment, but I gotta add Tommy Talau, he gives it everything....pushes for extra yards and fights to play the ball quickly, unlike his team mates....and he slugged a few in defence, unlike the forwards

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    I know it's hard to see ANY right now mate, but early season and "moments" show talent...but talent without effort is a negative result We'll win the 3 out of the first 4 games before certain "disruption" so must be a few right ? I would say Haumole is up with the best forwards in the game Tom...

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    There is enough talent to be a definite Top 8 side Yet turn up soft, frazzled, confused and look strangers in defence....even the attack which was at least slick in games lost, is looking flat and the kicking game is in the horrendous bracket. I recall opposition fans were envious of the...

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Notice how Titans lock the ball up in defence, to limit 2nd phase ...yet offload at will , we get killed here every game

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    All the chatter that Croker can't attack - but we need his defence, 3 line breaks through him including a try, along with Ben....been a horror show...I can't even blame bad calls anymore, this team deserves what it gets...no spirit....hardly feels like the Manly I grew up watching...who even...

    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    The ultimate sign of poor defence is lack of inside players sliding - just like that pereira try

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Add a dummy half tragic and I'm with ya

    Our hooker for 2026

    Actually 16, but has played 1-2 years up for some time.....my bad stating 17 earlier, but this is the age he plays against currently Not really an option at NRL level for some time....so the next 2 years at least, will hopefully find some better options

    Our hooker for 2026

    Very well and potentially 1 of the better "young guns" in the game....but at 17, is still a couple years off any serious discussion. The fact is our dummy half impact is maybe the bottom of the NRL ladder and in such a key position, I find this a very worthy thread for discussion.

    Our hooker for 2026

    You could be right, but I still think he has more spark than what we got now and reckon in 2026 that's where he will start....but I don't mind where your going at all, some decent hands, tackles and can make a bust and 13 on his back as he will only add size, makes sense to me....in fact a bit...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Firstly forwards are needed before backs by a way Secondly, Staggs past 2 seasons has been pretty average, 3 seasons ago he was a beast, but right now just another average centre in games I've seen

    Aloiai Gone

    Been on the way out with a revolving shoulder since 2024, this is a Big part of the search for a front rower and would be very happy with a couple of upgrades being approached.....fingers crossed.

    Our hooker for 2026

    I agree we lack spark at 9 with any very little zip to put pressure on the most vital place on the field - the ruck....but Brooksy is a longshot I think you will find Muagututia, a youngster we nabbed from Dogs will push for this position in 2026, initially off the bench, with either croker or...

    Ball playing lock

    I do recall the "Bruise Bros" So much intent defensively, that's when tackles were "hits' compared to today's "Locl up the ball" and wrestle apprach. The more we type, the more I realise what a welcome addition a player like that would be for Manly.

    Ball playing lock

    Bit of a thug, but tough as nails and had the opposition worried due to his enthusiasm in both attack and defence....could do with some of that in our engine room and he was actually very skillful also.

    Passion for the club

    I feel that losing is only a part of the issue effecting the passion. I think it's the way they are losing.....at times it looks like the players lack passion, leading by big margins and then frittering away these leads without a fight. There is truth in the fact the owners seem to lack any...
