    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I saw mention of Manly being in a "mini-crisis" today:-) Whatever it is, whatever the causes (because it's certainly not just one), we are playing terrible footy. Injuries to key forwards have not been kind, so it's hard to see us improving much over the remainder of the season. Theoretically...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    All good points, Fred. But seriously, if our players can't motivate themselves to provide more than the absolute sh#t sandwich they have dished up this year, we are stuffed. Taking the coaching out of it for a minute (I know - probably not the right thread to be doing it), our senior players...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Yeah, along with the "We should have kept Des" narrative, can we also stop the "We kept the wrong coach" narrative around Flanagan? It's not like he's lifted St George to dizzying heights since he left.

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Yeah, I hated that play all night: passing at his hip when his back is turned to the line. I thought he did well not to knock it on every time.

    State of Origin, 2025.

    We're already too far behind, I fear - especially given that the rain doesn't look like letting up. Can we also swap Cherry for Dearden? Asking for a friend.

    That tends to happen in any game Kurt Capewell is involved in.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Whether Seibold is punted or not, I don't think we need to link him to Des. Dessie's time with the club was well and truly up, and he was failing just as hard - if not harder - than Seibold is failing now. And there's just no point in looking backwards: "We should never have sacked Des" or "We...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Sure, that's exactly what we need, but is it really what we look for? Evidence suggests not.

    I think Seibold credited it to Steven Hales.

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    I loved that quote, too, Rosko. And that ringing endorsement is followed by the revelation that Seibold has two weeks to "turn it around", which presumably means winning our next two games or he's gone. Even though it's at home, I would be shocked if we beat the Tigers in our next game (because...

    Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't

    Mate, I don't think Scott Penn understands or even likes the game of rugby league. He likes being the owner of a rugby league club, which allows him to get his head in the papers, and he certainly liked hanging around the coaches and players when we were winning premierships. But outside of...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    What an absolute f@#king clown show. This has Scott Penn's "leadership" from afar all over it. Seven-minute interviews? Assessment sheets listing each player's deficiencies as a rugby league player? Leaks to both the Murdoch press and Nine? Not even @God can help us out of this one.

    Maybe the catering budget at 4 Pines Park can only take the hit for another couple of years…

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I agree, but I still think it's almost a certainty that he'll be at the Roosters next year. And really, while the most important thing for Manly supporters is that he won't be at our club, I'd be a little upset if another fanbase - especially the Roosters' fanbase - didn't get to experience the...

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Ooh, awesome! I feel so much more confident now we've called in the auditors. Seriously, can any of these key stakeholders teach our boys how to tackle? Or to give a sh#t about their performances? Otherwise it's just more blather and noise.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Agreed, SER8. As much as many of us would love to see it, dropping our captain to reserve grade would only set the club up for a media beatdown. He will be here for the year and we all need to deal with it. But it's wild how quickly opinions can change. At the end of last season, and even at...

    Can't say they haven't had a lot of learning opportunities, can they?

    The Haumole Bible.

    Without Haumole, our pack just got even less intimidating than it already was. There is no way to replace him because he really is a one of a kind. But surely it's as good an opportunity as any to give somebody coming through the ranks a shot instead of Chee Kam or Waddell. Navale? Patolo? Anyone?

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    It's taking the easy option, every single time. We have no desire to be involved in "the grind" of rugby league at all. All we want to do is score tries, off every single play. We are, in three simple words, soft as f#@k. And it's probably just a coincidence that those same three words also...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Well, at least this thread should be mercifully free of posters confidently predicting the huge number of points we'll be putting on this week's sub-standard opposition…
