Moments - The last 10 minutes
The Refs are mic'd up so they should have to inform the bunker of any penalty immediately. And while I'm at it, the six-again rule is utter bulls*#*. It's a free-for-all where refs now have the power to "manage" the game with almost impunity. We all want to see a free-flowing match but it's NRL...- Andrew..

Lehi Hopoate
I'd choose a fully fit Tommy any day of the week but, the reality of the situation is Tom's injuries are now chronic. For the last 5 years, Tom has missed huge chunks of the season. Fullback is more of a specialist position; these constant disruptions make it harder for the team to build...- Andrew..

The Clean Out 2024 Post
Who ever we sign in the future i hope the club considers keeping contracts to a maximum of 3 or 4 years. I understand the desire to lock up the next superstar but it really does leave the club vulnerable if things don't pan out. We should just back ourselves and hope the player is happy enough...- Andrew..

The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
Agreed, and wish him well but I rolled my eyes at his insistence on only playing 5/8 in the future. That small statement speaks volumes.- Andrew..

2026 recruitment & retention
Elliot Whitehead tore us a new one a couple of weeks ago but he'll be 35yo next year and I'm not sure we can afford that type of risk. We definitely need impact right now but it would be great to pick up a player with little more longevity...as much as I think Ben is a nice kid he needs to sink...- Andrew..

The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group
It's just getting so much harder for the non wealthy clubs to stay competitive and unfortunately thats what we are nowadays. What makes it worse is the that most of us have grown up watching Manly as a powerhouse when Arko had the same clout as Politis. As a result we were forced to gamble and...- Andrew..

The Clean Out 2024 Post
Let's be honest Turbo and Jake will be playing for us on their current salary until their contracts are up for re-negotiation. So we have to make the best of our current situation and apart from positional changes our only other option is to identify and invest in youth. Losing is always a...- Andrew..

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]
Every player has a mistake or two in them but Garrick has done this sort of stuff regularly since he's moved to centre. I'm not throwing my toys out of the cot and calling for his head, I'm just saying IMO for the sake of the team Garrick is a better winger.- Andrew..

Garrick or Koula for No 1
Also, how does a coach agree to a players demands when they are clearly not in the teams interest. I can't imagine Bellamy or Bennett falling for it. Even St George are letting Lomax go because of his demands to play in the position of his choice.- Andrew..

2026 recruitment & retention
Genuine Question: I read that fullbacks cover more meters than any other player. Do extra meters mean more stress on the hamstrings? or is the stop-start of accelerating that causes issues? Or perhaps Tom is just prone to such problems. A fit and firing Turbo is a site to behold but 6 seems a...- Andrew..

Staying Neutral 🙄
I'm a rusted-on Blues supporter but I remember one series when Mal Meninga was captaining QLD, he had the boys in a huddle before the game (they had the camera and the mic up close) and you could actually hear him say let's smash these Fkn C...s, in retrospect, I'm pretty sure the blues captain...- Andrew..

Tom is a Myth
I know injuries are part of the game but it must take every drop of Tom's mental and physical strength to keep coming back time after time. That's why I'm in the move Tom to centre camp. Fullbacks can run up to 8 kilometres or more, per game, so any reduction in wear and tear on his body must be...- Andrew..

The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD
Didn't Seibold work with Eddie Jones? Maybe he's trying to apply Union plays to League. We go wide early, kick on the 3rd tackle and value attack over defence. Just a thought.- Andrew..
