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

    Might be a good opportunity to see Simpkin for 80min and Tevaga as lock/prop where he belongs. If Bullemor and Aloiai both play, and play well, then the pack might still resemble a first grade side 08 Aloiai 09 Simpkin 10 Taukeiaho 11 Ola'akautu 12 Trbojevic 13 Tevaga / Brown 14 Brown /...

    The Elephant in the room

    It will almost be impressive if Seibold can somehow be involved in another wooden spoon at another historically successful club in such a short space of time. Who would have thought that a wooden spoon is also technically "breaking the cluster"?

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    We're also 2 points off 16th lol. But ladder position at this stage is not the thing that is concerning

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Gus Gould is the club whisperer. Bringing in Ciraldo, getting the football department to run to its potential, streamlining and building up a junior pathways program, seem to be even more effective than having a super rich owner (although this obviously helps). Frank Ponissi is probably the...

    Seibold presser ..

    I've never heard a successful coach say repeatedly that their team is a top 4 team, and "we're trying to break the cluster" etc etc, before the season has even started no less. What happened to "let's just put our heads down for this week?" It couldn't be a worse way to mind f*ck the players'...

    The Haumole Bible.

    The DCE-Haumole combo has always been virtually non-existent, and also to the detriment of Haumole's game. In attack, he is squandered, and in defending our try line, our flog of a 7 often leaves an impossible 15m space between he and his second rower for Haumole to cover, as the headless...

    Lehi Hopoate

    I think the club is planning for a Zaidas/ Ashton dummy half pairing, with Zaidas ready for NRL first (probably as early as next year, or even some stints at the back end of this year). Ashton likely to be our 14 in 2027. They would be similar to the B.Smith/Grant combo at Storm, with Zaidas...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Seibold is way out of his depth. Completely unsuited to head of a rugby league team. I couldn't be bothered listing the many many reasons why. I am embarrassed that he is our head coach, that Penn is our owner, and a d*ckhead named Cherry-Evans is our captain. Absolutely rotten leadership trio

    Yeah fair enough

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Yeah I reckon Koula makes a great winger, especially for yardage. I would also move Haumole to the middle and make him our Payne Hass

    Seibold presser ..

    Matty Ballin as head coach and Choc as assistant would probably bring back some of that tough mentality

    Seibold presser ..

    Saab needs to wind up and get to a high enough speed for him to have any momentum in the tackle. Certainly not effective, but he literally has no other chance of gaining metres. We probably have the worst back 3 in the comp for yardage But on Seibold, he is a terrible coach on many levels. His...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Ola'akautu, Hopoate, Paseka, Bullemor, Saab are our only genuine priorities (5) Brooks, Koula, Garrick, Talau not fussed either way (4) Navale, Muagututia, O.Large, Walsh, Laiafi, Dunford, A.Large really hoping these guys develop according to their potential - and quickly! (7) The Trbojevics...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    If the great DCE and Brooks can't get on top of their opposites Flanagan and Ilias with a near full strength backline at home, and our pack minus 2 after their embarrassing displays recently, then we are done for the year. Dragons missing a couple of forwards too, and are an average team...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Anything less than a win tonight is unacceptable. Seibold still has a more talented team than Saints, at home, after a couple of extremely poor showings. I have faith they can steady the ship. Otherwise, he has lost the dressing room imo

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

    If Faulalo is picked ahead of Navale against a very big Dragons side while we are missing our best 2 props, then either Seibold is not confident Saab (or another outside back) is fully fit, or he's a fkn idiot. I can't see a third reason.

    Manase

    Literally the one and only season I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and was proud to support, my team since the back end of 2014. We had top 4 defence (until the last few injury-riddled rounds), tough and gritty, while blasting through the middle of our opponents. Just good footy. I thought it was...

    Galvin

    Galvin to Manly talk is madness. If we had a bunch of exciting forwards knocking down the door coming from our juniors, then fair enough. But we need to learn from past mistakes, and not try to emulate what might work for another club with different strengths. We must look at what we have...

    Seibold Ball

    If all 20,000 Manly Members each paid a one-off payment of say $1500, and an ongoing weekly payment of $20/week, we could buy out Penn, vote in our board and president, have our expert strategies put in place, and tip in an additional $20Mil pa on top of business earnings year on year... it...

    Pre-Game Sharks V Manly [Round 6, 2025]

    I would like to see Schoupp at centre. Surely he's next in line when 2 starters are out
