The Daly Cherrygraph
There’s heaps of things about Daly’s game that are superior to Deardon and Tommy has a long way to go to be considered a generational player. He’s 10 years younger than Daly and his time is now. He deserved to be picked and played well. He certainly does take the line on and gave QLD the energy...- LeonardCohen

State of Origin, 2025.
Settle down mate it’s only Origin; no one else here cares enough about it to hit the cap locks button.- LeonardCohen

State of Origin, 2025.
I think King, Utoikamanu, and Luai are not cut out for Origin. I’ve always thought Luai rode the Penrith wave and nothing he’s done since he left, has convinced me otherwise.- LeonardCohen

Des Hasler retiring
Yeah you’re right about it being done to death. I certainly have no insider information about how it went down so respect other people’s beliefs or perceptions. I also have to be honest; once you’re a Manly person, I find it really hard to stay angry/bitter. Watmough, Foran and now $DE are...- LeonardCohen

Another typical Many stuff up
Personally, I don't understand the hate for Waddell. He's become the Silvertails whipping boy but I actually think he offers a fair bit. I see a strong competitor that works hard and has decent leg speed. I prefer him in the middle but we could do worse than have him fill in on an edge. There's...- LeonardCohen

Des Hasler retiring
Yeah, that's sort of how I remember it happening at the time. We finished 8th in 2010 and the club adopted a 'wait and see approach' to 2011; you snooze, you lose. One could argue that Des should have informed Manly of the Dogs offer and intention to leave, etc. but maybe he was cranky at the...- LeonardCohen

Brett Stewart still involved?
I noticed he and his brother were absent for the Golden Eagles on Sunday (they've been to these events before). He was previously officially listed as part of our coaching staff for 2024, but was absent from the official list that Manly rolled out for 2025. I am not denying he was on the...- LeonardCohen

Des Hasler retiring
I’m not going to get into a defend Des debate or suggest that he has not shown a tendency to look after himself, but…I think the Manly club did try and play hardball with Des in 2011 and were not offering security and/or money in line with a premiership winning coach. We weren’t tracking towards...- LeonardCohen

Des Hasler retiring
It’s hard not to have a soft spot for Des, but I don’t miss his team’s tendency to take a month to warm into the competition and the inconsistency. Personally, 2019 was one of the most enjoyable seasons I can remember and his return was filled with so much promise. 2021 was another fun (albeit...- LeonardCohen

Garrick general news thread
Yeah I think he is a top 5 player in our squad, and not just for his skills. He is a terrific competitor and someone with passion for the cause. He’s the closest thing we have to Jake T at the club. I’d be devastated if he was lost to Manly.- LeonardCohen

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
Are you talking about Bozo? I used to think he was funny and a bit of comic relief but even I’ve been tested by the same incessant ranting about Mestrov and Seibold. Unless the forum is full of amnesiacs, I see no reason to keep pedalling the same message day in and day out for months at a time...- LeonardCohen

Garrick general news thread
Yeah I never mind when he misses a sideline conversion but he has a habit of missing the kicks that are scored roughly halfway between the corner post and goal post. They’re the ones you should kick. He’ll often fade it just to the side of the right post. It’s usually when the score would have...- LeonardCohen

Garrick general news thread
Garrick misses heaps of goals he should kick and always chokes on the really important ones that keep pressure on the opposition. He is one of my favourite players but I hope Fogarty kicks next year. I doubt he will though. I suspect with the pressure that comes with being a chief playmaker at a...- LeonardCohen

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]
I wasn’t surprised. I’ve been watching this closely and took extra delight last year when we finally won in Vegas, having lost 7 in a row. Then we lost the second game to the vermin last year with Tommy Talau at 5/8! We’ve had a barren run against them for years. The victory prior to our win in...- LeonardCohen

I don’t think Jamie was happy to be a back up halves option though…and unlike Arthur, had a club prepared to offer him a bit of money and security.- LeonardCohen

Jake Simpkin signed until 2026
I thought Simpkin was good for the first 40 minutes, but his last 20 were a little pedestrian. Some of the service was lacking intensity; slow to select left or right and soft passing and we struggled to make ground. I like that he is prepared to run. Definitely think he’s the best we’ve got but...- LeonardCohen

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
I agree. I’ve noticed a tendency to get into the grind a little. When DCE scored his try to make it 24-0, the old Manly reload and shoot for 50 points, shifting the ball wildly at every opportunity, gifting possession and momentum to the opposition, culminating in a loss or narrow victory...- LeonardCohen
