    Yes most likely a slight exaggeration, however they'll both be offered 2 year extensions to their current deal. So 2029, unless medically retired, will realistically be the first year Manly line up without them

    Mate take off your one-eyed goggles for just a moment please. FYI, I live and breathe Manly. All I want is for us to be back on top

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    These "good judges" have us as top 4 contenders on one condition - a fit Turbo! Before the season started, the flattering predictions were based almost purely on his pre-season fitness lol He couldn't finish 2 games! A fullback that is in and out of a team provides no stability. I admire your...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Not sure if you actually watched the game, but what you should have seen is a team getting soundly beaten until a very lucky escape. One team has a senior, "star-studded", playing group that has been together for many seasons, whilst the Canterbury team has been put together less than two...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Definitely a risk worth taking at this stage. His salary could be spent on recruiting a couple of no-nonsense "team-first" kind of leaders. As with any organisation, its culture permeates from the top - CEO, coach, captain, senior players. As a halfback, he certainly adds value. But he's much...

    Without laying blame on DCE, the fact of the matter is, Manly has not looked even remotely close to a top 4 side for a decade under his captaincy and with him as our chief playmaker and leader. I reiterate - in no way do I place Manly's misfortunes solely in his hands. But the fact of the...

    Line speed and ruck area

    100% correct. Our senior players no longer "want" to dominate their opposite on an individual level. It doesn't seem to be in their nature. They don't take the physical challenge personally. No one fears Manly any more, at least not in a brutal way. When guys froth at the thought of impending...

    Zane Dunford

    I've rated him highly for many years in our juniors. A local product who was captain of our SG Ball team that did quite well with guys like Tolu and Weekes a few years ago. Great tackling technique with high footy IQ. Major injury set him back a season or two. Hoping he is putting pressure on...

    Outstanding for an edge

    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    Dogs' defence will have them leapfrog us if we haven't improved in this area. We have a top 4 roster but if our defence is not top 4, then we won't improve on last year. Really simple.

    Congrats to the plodders & Nepo

    Instead of being an average to below-average edge player, Waddell could evolve into the quintessential modern day middle forward - mobility we lack in this area

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that as we can all agree that we do not have a top 4 forwards roster, we must be smarter in how we use the men we have. This, in my opinion, is done with the bench. Stacking our starting middles with our best players may seem the obvious way...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Wholeheartedly agree. Tevaga's strengths have always been bringing energy as a mobile middle forward off the bench, with the added bonus of utility if, by necessity, he had to cover dummy half. Playing him at 9 early, not only diminishes our threat from dummy half - even more so than Croker, but...

    That bench will not cut it. Our middle third will cave after the first 20

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    It's a shame big Nella doesn't have some of that JWH about him. We have been missing an alpha for too long

    Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack

    Certainly needs to bring back the offload into his game. No question, he must evolve as the body slows. But still an astute link man. I think with guys like Chez, Brooks, and Turbo, we really don't need anything flashy from our 13. Definitely need more punch, and I think reducing his minutes...

    A part of me lost hope many years ago. The other still thinks it's a little too early to be blowing a gasket
