    Game Day: Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Dream scenario: We put 60 on them, Des is given the full support of the Board on Monday, is sacked on Wednesday, and begins legal proceedings against the Titans on Thursday. Nightmare scenario: We get out to an early lead, look like a capable NRL team, but are pulled back just before half time...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    Yeah, even though our win-loss, win-loss pattern suggests a win, I don't have a good feeling about this one. If the opposition decides they might also want to win the game, we will struggle. Usually you'd say, "It's not about the other team, it's about us", but I'm not so sure with this current...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    Ordinary for a decade is what we do around here! BA would fit right in.

    Trys or tries ?

    Yeah, it's "tries". But I still remember the English rugby league commentator who used "tri" as the singular, excitedly yelling out, "T-R-I, Try!"

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I am not Cherry's biggest fan and hate the way his latest self-created saga has played out. I also think his form has been less than stellar. And from a Manly perspective, I honestly don't know if we'd be better off with or without him in our team right now. But I still reckon dropping him would...

    All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

    Although it's WAY funnier when it's not happening at your club. And it'll be even funnier when he sues the Titans after they sack him.

    All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

    Oddly enough, that dip in form last year (after Johnson's stellar year the season before) is one of the reasons I'm convinced they can go all the way. For a lot of teams (Exhibit A: The Broncos, Exhibit B: The Eels, Exhibit C: Probably Manly), once they start going backwards, they stay going...

    All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think the Warriors can and will (why not go all in?) win the competition this year. I just really like the look of their team, and if they can stay healthy I think they can match anyone. I think Webster is a very smart coach, too.

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I’m not in any tipping comps, but my wife is. When she asked about this game I told her to tip the Knights because I knew we could not string two decent games together. She was worried I’d steered her wrong at halftime, but I told her a collapse was a given: 16-nil is the worst possible lead...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Will answer the question I posed earlier: Yes, it surely can happen again. This team cannot be trusted. Unless, of course, you’re expecting disappointment. On that, they can truly deliver.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Sadly, sums us up since way before Seibold was our coach.

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    This is just the kind of game, where we’re expected to win and win well, that we have made a habit of losing. But surely not this time, right?

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Seeing as though we’re all about nicknames at the moment, can I get any traction on “Bob Fosse” for Jazz? Or do we just allow him to call himself “The Bald Eagle”?

    Lodge, you Monster

    Been away so haven’t yet seen him in a Manly jersey this season, but judging by the comments I’ve been reading, shouldn’t we be changing the title of this thread to “Lodge, You Fat F**k”?

    Josh Aloiai

    Any update on the injury? And did it look bad at the time? Could only watch the highlights and saw he went off. Like a lot of our blokes, he can’t seem to stay on the field.

    Post-Game Discussion Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Glad I’m out of the country and didn’t have to watch the game. Sounds like an absolute sh**show. But really, I’m not surprised. You can’t trust this team to string two decent games together. One step forward, 17 steps back.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I suspect as I have always suspected: that he agreed to sign with the Roosters and Channel Nine way back before his big announcement, and that everything else is smoke and mirrors. I love how the article says the Dolphins must be talking to Cherry, despite publicly saying they're not...

    Zak Hosking, Frizell, and where I went to skool...

    I did see something about Frizell considering his future at the Knights, so he may be available. I actually think he's still an excellent player and would add him to our Dad's Army forwards in a heartbeat if the deal was right.

    Jake T.

    All great points, Disco, but all very dependant on not being knocked unconscious on the field. That's the only part of his demise that worries me.

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Maybe NSW selectors don't want their hearts in their mouths every time Tom takes a hit up. You can't afford to carry an injury liability at that level. Couple that with his less than stellar form and I reckon it's an easy decision.
