    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    It doesn’t get any easier for them next week……hopefully tonight turns our fortunes around and we can roll the Bunnies going into the bye.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    I think they front loaded a lot of effort into the raiders last week, that played into our hands, it flattened them somewhat, then mentally, without Luia and Bulla they weren’t the same, then Benji’s mind boggling selections and a couple of HIA’s they were never in it. Latu’s first start, with...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    2 points, guess that’s the positive…….however the Tigers were poor. Benji certainly didn’t help them. Thought Sio was good for us and Sips carried strongly. Simpkin is our best DH by daylight. Tom at centre and Gaz on the wing is the way forward. I’d still like to see Tolu given a run at FB and...

    Game Day: Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Season changing opportunity, get it done, I’m really looking forward to the game, not overly confident, but gee, if we can’t win this one at home with them missing two thirds of their spine, the rest of the season won’t be much fun. Get it done…..

    The riff have had the wood on the doggies for the last few years, if it was at Belmore, they would be specials, just think the riff are running into a bit of form, I think they’ll get the points.

    I was just going off recalling him playing at FB, guess it must of been last year.

    Mason has a pretty good leap on him for a small fella, noting his actually a FB.

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

    Sadly, I think Mason at FB with Latu in the halves, has the potential to improve them, Mason plays a very similar to game to Jye Grey from the bunnies, more electric than Bulla and just as competent under the high ball. I won’t be putting any of my hard earned on us, not a chance, In saying...

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

    Just on the Jazz, I think Simpkin is the easiest one to displace, I say this because, for me it possibly comes down to what to do with Jake, his not a prop, he might be able to defensively do the job, but you need running metres, post contact meters, impact and a physical presence from your...

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

    I’ve watched every game they’ve played this year, they are a better side than most think and their results thus far suggest, when or if they address their lack of discipline and cut the errors in their game, (which partially come from the brand of footy they play) there going to win plenty of...

    Is the draft the only way to even the playing field?

    All good, I’ll apologise again. I guess I was just attempting to point out the way you presented the facts seemed a little misleading, if the intention was to suggest the current system works fairly, by using the NRL’s GF results over the last 20 years as evidence the competition is fair and...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Just carrying over from another thread, that’s exactly why we need a draft to spread the talent or as suggested a player points system, then who cares what certain players get paid as clubs won’t be able to have too many of them like the Roosters and Dogs currently seem able to do, the 30 man...

    Is the draft the only way to even the playing field?

    All good, if you want to claim victory to prove your point, you are correct and I agree, however if you are trying to suggest this years top 8 is some kind of evidence that proves the current framework for the NRL player market is working well, as evidenced by the make up of the 8 and the number...

    Is the draft the only way to even the playing field?

    Ok it’s your second last sentence, I was referring to, apologies your last sentence is correct, when I read your post I mistook the last para graph as one sentence.

    Is the draft the only way to even the playing field?

    Here’s some info. The last 9 GF’s in a row have come from the current top 8. If you include the teams sitting on equal points with the top 8, 23 of the last 27 GF’s have been won by these sides. That’s 21 of the 27 NRL GF’s coming from those same teams.

    Without checking, I don’t think your last sentence is accurate.

    You are almost spot on, except for the final analysis, where by what it effectively does, is give the Clunker yet another opportunity to manipulate the outcome, remember, always gamble responsibly…….
