    @AndWeDon'tCare has just outed himself as Phil Gould. Welcome, Phil!

    Agree that we are probably not an attractive option for young talent at the moment, but in fairness, neither are the Eels. Really, 9.75 times out of 10, it all comes down to money. If we'd offered more money than the Eels offered, he would have come here.

    This. Simpkins is an actual hooker. Will he ever be the world's best hooker? Probably not, but he puts in, has shown an ability to learn and improve, and the team looks better when he is out there. The position has to be his for the rest of the season.

    Knights poised to snare playmaker immediately

    I mean, you're omniscient, mate. You hear a lot more than we do.

    Yep. Ever since I confidently predicted they'd be this year's premiers, they haven't won a game. Sorry about that, Wahs' fans. Looks like injuries might get the better of them after all.

    Lodge, you Monster

    I don't think we should be looking to extend him either, but we do need a warm body - even if it's a big, fat, warm body - to fill that role for the rest of this season. With Paseka, Aloiai and now Brown all gone, he's the next man up. I thought his first stint last night (which turned out to...

    MVP: Rd 17 v Tigers

    3. TKO 2. Simpkin 1. Jake Forwards needed to show something tonight, and they did. Sipley and Bully were also great.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Yeah, really nice to see the two sets of brothers together. Great to see there's no animosity between them at all. In fact, great to see all our players congratulating Latu and mingling with Samuela after the game.

    Hard to get much of a read on him in that game. He certainly didn't stand out. And as others have said, Simpkin had a pretty good game for us. I'd be happy enough to keep Simpkin - just give him the spot for the rest of the season and stop f@#king him around - and save our cash for a backrower...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Wonder if the plan was always for Lodge to play one stint only. He didn't appear to be injured, but maybe that's all he has in his legs? Anyway, he was effective as a starter, as was TKO, who played well throughout the game. Other positives: Jake looked to be hitting as hard in defence as I've...

    Good news! You'll fit in perfectly with the rest of the team. When can you start?

    Maybe they're all bummed out by Siebold forcing them to face their own mortality.

    That "Bridgerton" marathon is looking good right about now. What an awful half of football. We were terrible, but luckily the Tigers were worse. On the plus side, we're up by six. And Lodge's opening stint was not bad at all.

    You know, I never thought of Mitch Kenny as a "young star", but you do have a point:-) Wild that Api won a premiership at Souths and a couple of the Panthers, and yet when he was with us he was generally thought to be pretty mediocre. Maybe it does mean that the rest of the forward pack is more...

    I'm going to assume you're asking for a place to stay, and not referring to the footballer Matthew Lodge. No other club would go near him now.

    Went to the dentist yesterday. It f@¢king sucked, mouth full of needles, but it was still more fun than watching Manly play lately.

    Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    The thing that concerns me with our coach and team is that we always find an excuse. I also think the team is often guilty of showing up to games thinking they've already won them, like they're entitled to win because we have so many "weapons", and Luai being out might just edge them closer to...

    Yep. The last club that let Api go in order to retain a young "star" ended up regretting it. For years and years and years…
