    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Iv'e seen this before....bit of momentum against and this Manly team seem to fall apart.....hoping they can get back into the grind and turn up some intensity again or Knights will bang on a few more

    Full time 48 - 24 12 tries ALL converted, 3/from the sidelines !! Walsh another super cover tackle on a breakaway centre. belting him down before getting assistance to drag him over the sideline Score flattered Newcastle, Manly dominated 90% of the game Some good charges and won the side good...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Ok Manly score first try 2nd half after 20 minutes of back n forth Arthur bomb plucked brilliantly by Willett, who beats a couple and inside to Walsh who scores Just a real positive from this game, young Walsh has a super tackling technique and ethic, made some super 1 on 1 tackles including...

    NSW cup Manly up 30 - 12 halftime Was 30 nil till 2 late knights tries This NSW cup is unpredictable, but Manly have been 20+ the better side in match play Some good forwards, Sykes and Podge look strong and chee can tong dangerous from dummy half with 2 clean breaks Vaega and Willett look ok on...

    Mid-season Report Card

    Good thread 👍 I see Manly a C+....or maybe a B - Been some nice Wins along the way The biggest problem is consistency, the difference between Manlys best and worst, is far bigger than a team who would command an A rating Manlys best is maybe an A But worst is maybe a D If Manly can change...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Manlys right edge is the way you see it, DCE and out......and they should have joy tonight, provided they can win momentum middles first to create opportunities, not just shift like the Eels game before winning the ruck

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Was thinking the recipe to winning is shutting down the forwards, to minimise the danger men Ponga and Sharpe. Then something hit me.... Don't worry about them, concentrate on our game. Turn up like the Brisbane game - we win. Turn up like the Eels game - we lose.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I damn hope so - I mean when he FIRST got a run at Manly he was Super good....looked so aggressive and strong in attack and defence and was taking it upon himself to be "The Leader of the Pack"....but been pretty underwhelming since, not terrible, but plain average , which is way off the bar he...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I spent hours with these 3 at a shoot....and I couldn't believe how true they were to the image the media plaster out about "True Manly men".....they lived up to the tag and then some, humble, friendly and nothing was too much for them to be a part of and had the priveledge of spending quality...

    Hass goes to market

    Great post, so well constructed and direct, yet not a whining type vibe....simply factual and pretty much a 2 + 2 of why ppl continually see red flags out Bondi way, yet the NRL turns a blind eye to it. I recall the Foz situation very well and the lady involved seemed a bit confused at the time...

    Simione Laifai

    I reckon you touch on some good points, as there have been a few similar built youngsters with Huge upside, who have failed to meet the demands and speed at NRL level But on the positive, I look forward to seeing if he does have the desire to make the Top level, as the potential is certainly...

    Run Koula Run

    Very well written and hard to argue with the logic you make here The points on Ponga are fair, he looks "out of touch" badly, but I really feel the momentum his teammates are building, or lack of momentum, as his timing is off and 1 thing about confidence players.....once they have their...

    Burbo

    Very true and it's not just his input as in strong carries or good tackles.....he has been running great lanes as an option runner both tight and wide "like when Koula scored late".....these are effort plays and it's a great way for any player to show up and make an impact not just for...

    Run Koula Run

    Ponga is a confidence player....and 1 of the most naturally gifted in the game. Knights look flat, disinterested and way out of form. Do agree that Sharpe is a gun, great talent.....but having him at 6 is good enough for now as he played plenty of 5/8 as a junior, so just needs a better platform...

    Lodge, you Monster

    Not a great thing for Lodge to be overweight......claimed he was taking up boxing and I have been around that sport to know they pride themselves on having high endurance and the training schedules are all about keeping weight down, unless jumping up divisions which I doubt that is the case as...
