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

    I guess my understanding would be that Croker comes in for Jazz, and Jazz in turn returns to a mobile middle who can fight for a bench spot with Sips or Brown. Surely Simpkin stays at 14

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

    Surely Seibs won't be dropping Simpkin

    Seibold Ball

    Wholeheartedly agree. How is it fat shaming?? We are talking about elite athletic performance. If we expect the players to be in shape, train hard, eat well, then the head coach, and trainers should be leading by example. This should not be that controversial. If anything, culture and respect...

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

    The truth is that The Manly Way is a Seibold-coined PR catch phrase that means nothing but all show and no substance.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I've said it before, but the beginning of DCE was the end of Manly. He single-handedly ripped apart a generational team of champions, hamstrung our salary cap, and created a vacuous team culture that reflected his own character, dominating any coach or system that could instill authority over...

    Seibold Ball

    I still maintain Arthur would be better for us than Seibold. (Just a random observation, and I'm not trying to fat shame, but is Seibold the only NRL head coach who isn't personally a fit guy? It says a lot about his own discipline and self-control, and I can't imagine a man like that would...

    Tof Sipley

    Sips is such a great guy, but I hate to say that he is barely 1st grade quality, let alone a "good" NRL prop. The club has 2-3 guys that would be considered of suitable standard. Paseka's injury is a massive blow to our chances this year. Whilst it won't be a good idea long term due to burn...

    Massive turning point today

    We are a "good ball" footy team, with 0 backbone. Nothing more. Without laying blame on the coach, as this has quite obviously been a team issue for a decade, but Seibold is not the coach to fix this. Nothing short of Wayne Bennett, or a complete overhaul of our roster, will change this. It's...

    How do we unlock Koula?

    Left field opportunity? Koula off the bench as a super sub 13. In a more conventional way, he would also be better used as a wing

    Jamal Fogarty

    This is why I feel we should be looking internally, and using these funds to strengthen our forwards. We might struggle next year as a result, but at least we can balance our squad better, for a net positive gain (as DCE was retiring soon anyway). I'm sure between Turbo, Hopoate, Arthur etc...

    Jamal Fogarty

    In this same period, DCE partnered internationals in Foran, D.Walker, as well as Blake Green, and didn't get Manly much closer to a title than Brooks did at the worst team in the comp

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    If we are to have a chance, Sipley needs to have a blinder

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    100% agree that Navale should be in, but while Paseka and Aloiai are out, we can't afford to lose Bully to an edge with Ben also in the centres, thereby weakening not just our outside but also our middle, if one of our backs went down. Navale for Brown at this stage makes more sense, or even...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    If Navale was to make the team, it would have to be in place of Brown, Jake, etc. He is a middle. Waddell is cover for our outside backs, when Ben shifts to centre. (Otherwise we would lose Bully through the middle)

    Parra tore through our middle like world beaters the moment Jake went off it was a joke

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Whilst it's difficult to argue with these words specifically, this post reads more like a PR-written LinkedIn profile with a nice ring to it, but little substance. Very Seibold-esque. The reality is that results are truly all that matters, and despite some fleeting promising signs, Seibold...

    DCE will never want to be a head coach - it's too thankless a role for him. And he is not suited to be one regardless. Guys like Ballin, Foz, Croker - worker types with team-first attitude, loyalty to their mates etc not just communication skills are the right pedigree for inspiration

    2026 halves plan

    Strongly disagree with the option to recruit a Fogarty or someone similar externally. This is a waste of much needed cap space. Haven't we all seen the lack of balance in our squad? Finally we have an opportunity to rectify this. If our young halves need another season in nsw cup, then Turbo to...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I agree with Wayne obviously, but this isn't the NRL "self-destructing" - this IS the NRL. These headlines feed the frenzy of interest, viewership, talking points, etc etc. The NRL is a soap opera that thrives on controversy, gossip, and innuendo. I think everyone except Manly thoroughly enjoyed...
