    MVP: Rd 8 v Panthers

    3. Simpkin. If we were looking for him to stake a claim to be our starting hooker, he did just that. More runs from dummy half in the one game than we've seen in the last five years. 2. Haumole. Terrifying man, and his hands were excellent tonight - great passing game (as opposed to last week...

    Good involvement in stopping that try on the line, too. He definitely has the makings of a good player, and it'd be great to get him more minutes in the top grade.

    Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    See, this is why I think it's tough blaming performances like last week on the coach. If you don't keep throwing the ball away every time you have possession, you're a much better chance of staying in the game. But this has been a great improvement so far. Good control, good defence. And...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    If Sean Keppie was still with us, he would easily be our number one prop. And even though he has improved at Souths, he is still very ordinary. That is how stretched we are for decent forwards.

    All NRL Games [Round 8, 2025]

    See the smile on Kurt Capewell after the game? Almost like he knows he'll be running into Ponga in a Christchurch nightclub toilet cubicle in a few hours' time…

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I still can't see how $750K is a "lowball" offer to Cherry. He's been paid wheelbarrows full of money by the club over a long period of time. He's also 37 years old. That offer would have taken that into account. It would also take into account the club's salary cap position overall. The hope...

    JArthur leading try assists in NSW cup

    Yeah, that's all I was thinking of Nordburg. Last season he was injured so he didn't even get that.

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    For some reason I think we'll put in a better performance than the last two this weekend (not a high bar to clear, admittedly), but I still think we'll fall short. My main hope is that Mitch Kenny is way more important to the Panthers than I think he is.

    JArthur leading try assists in NSW cup

    I don't quite know what to make of Jake Arthur. His numbers in reserve grade have always been excellent, and even when he was on a hiding to nothing at the Eels, he did show glimpses of talent in the top grade. And I love that he's a wholehearted, effort player. But his opportunities with us...

    Except when the numbers are, as others have pointed out, completely made up or wrong.

    Should Turbo/DCE Play State of Origin?

    Both shouldn't be picked on fitness or form. Both will be picked. Both will play. Manly will not benefit in any way. Yay.

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    I hate that I have to keep bringing this up, but can we ever have much confidence in Turbo finishing any game, at any time? We are at the point where we simply have to have cover for him whenever he starts a match because there's a pretty high chance he won't finish it. It's why Lehi has to be...

    NSW Cup 2025

    I will admit I also thought Feledy was going to be a star. But in the limited times I have seen him play since he left, it looks like he hasn't grown at all since he was 16 or 17.

    Smart and Savvy Recruitment

    Aren't they all at least 15 years too young for the club's taste? Also, it looks like they run fast and with energy. That is not "The Manly Way".

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Do we have enough data on Belinda Sharpe yet to know how much we hate her?

    Jamal Fogarty

    [Manly recruitment staff's ears prick up at this.] "Sounds like just the kind of guy we need!"
  18. Ron E. Gibbs

    Jamal Fogarty

    I think Fogarty would be an excellent replacement for DCE and I'd like him at Manly, but I get the feeling this is all just a charade and he'll stay at the Raiders. People will complain that we bungled the negotiations and showed our hand too early, but really, just like with DCE, Fogarty is...

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    Every time he steps on the field he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. Every time he gets out of bed he's a great chance of re-injuring himself. We can't keep him in cottonwool forever. But you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with Tom. And if he does go down again, you are right...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Thanks for posting that. He comes across as a great young bloke, smart and articulate, with a genuine love for the Manly club and the players. Obviously not traits we were looking for at the time.
