    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    I thought he had one of those games where he didn't really stand out e.g. nothing amazing and no mistakes but he did all the 1%'s and his service was good. As many have said "played like a real dummy half". Also having played off the bench for the Tigers before coming to Manly he could not...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Re Nathan Brown extension. Depends on the terms of his contract. If he is on $500k a season then probably not a good deal. If he is on $250k then I am ok with it. He has been a point of difference coming off the back fence. I would also like to think he has been resigned because a) he is a...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    I guess we will see on Sunday. I desperately want a win however our defence out wide is paper thin. Lomax may score 5!

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    This site is going to be interesting at about 4PM on Sunday. Dragons are very underrated and have a massive pack. Will be a very tough game and we will do well to win. p.s. surely we bring Simpkins into the side or at least on the bench.

    Ben 'Burbo' Trbojevic

    Title of thread is ridiculous. He is a fringe/bench first grader at worst. Has had some really good games this year. Be interesting where he sits after 50 FG games. As some have said, Burbo is the least of our issues. Penrith game simply a reminder of our poor outside defence. Fix that and...

    Garrick general news thread

    What is not clear to me is why is Talau (who has been very good) playing on the wing when he is a centre and why is Garrick (who is an excellent winger) playing in the centre. You hear reports that Garrick "has a contract clause stating he must play centre". I am not sure if this is true and I...

    From Tartak To Moses

    I think Woodsie was just a fan of Keppies style. p.s. I miss Woodsie - not Aaron but the poster!

    Lehi Hopoate

    Looking at the bench is there a possibility that Koula may be ruled out? Could we see same backline e.g. Hoppa at FB and Ray back on the wing?

    [Resurrected] DCE is the worst halfback in the NRL

    Oh I know after a Manly loss and Chez kicks out on the full or something similar there will be some posters coming quick and fast. However, as I replied to this thread some time ago this thread is highly disrespectful to the current Manly and QLD captain, one of the current top players in the...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    IF Croker has to medically retire then that is a real shame. 100% effort player. While he may not be the quickest hooker or offer the slickest service from dummy half he would be in the top 5 for toughness and defence. IF he has to medically retire it would also explain the need to buy a...

    Blacktown Workers

    Didn't he come back from a 12 month injury (maybe ACL)? Could be a case of easing him in. I know he had some raps and at one point signed a 3 year deal with the raiders before reneging. Hayley has looked promising in Flegg and must be considered as part of the next crop coming through. Also...

    [Resurrected] DCE is the worst halfback in the NRL

    This thread aged well..........just like Cherry. I can't remember who but someone even suggested letting DCE go and promoting Humphreys. Stop drinking the bong water now.

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    Agree. I found it disrespectful as well. I would rather Maguire did not pick then go through the charade of naming him captain and then leave him sitting on the bench.

    The Send off rule

    Came in hot and the onus is on the tackler now days. Has been the case for 12 months. No doubt Walsh slipped a little before the tackle however the way he came in only left one outcome. Imagine he was not sent off. What next? AND as some have said if that was on a Manly player we would be...

    From Tartak To Moses

    I guess it is how you look at things. None of us are managing/coaching the team and we do not know the salary cap situation - we can only guess. I too get disappointed after a loss (even some recent wins) however love the club and will always support them. Back to Simpkins. Without knowing...

    Tommy Talau

    Plus he is/was dating Jessica Sergis. Got things sorted on and off the field.

    Blacktown Workers

    I know it is only KOE however this guy must be close to a run in FG. He is consistently good. I went to the preseason game and he played centre next to Talau - both looked good. We have signed him already as part of our Top 30 next year. Not sure how/where he gets a start but I think he had...

    MVP: Rd 12 v Storm

    Dally M votes in: Daly Cherry-Evans 5, Tommy Talau 4, Jahrome Hughes 3.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Arthur coming is as an assistant is not only sensible but plausible and may open a few doors re player movements. However you are asking a lot of players to give up contracts - hard to see. Not sure if Cobbo wants to leave Brisbane either. He looks happy. DCE retiring. I would be stunned if...

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    Very well deserved. Does the 1%'s week in, week out. Cut them in half Jake.
