    Jake T.

    I think we would do well to have an Eels style rebuild rather than persist with the idea we are in a premiership window. A coach can only do this with an understanding from the board that short term results won't be great. Ryles seems to have a mandate to restructure the roster (and playing...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I don't know whether seibold is a good coach or not, however when comparing our roster to the roosters, it is pretty clear we were over-matched. On paper, there was no way we should have won that game.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    His short line drop-out restart doesn't gets sufficient height for anyone to contest the ball. It usually goes straight to an opposition player 20 metres from our line. Maybe someone else should try this kick?

    MVP: Rd 21 v Bulldogs

    3. Lodge - showed real intent especially in defence 2. Jake - typically hard working in defence and seems to be really focussed on leading the defences line speed in recent weeks 3. Garrick - good game with limited opportunities

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    For every successful cherry-Evans 40/20 there are 2 or 3 failed attempts that don't find the sideline and hand good field position to the opposition.

    Ethan Bullemor

    Bullying rarely gets put on his back in attack, and regularly finds his stomach for a quick play the ball.

    Game Day: Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

    Really liking our linespeed in defence.

    June 30 Deadline

    It's a bad deal only with a short term perspective. It seems clear that JA has a low ceiling, and is unlikely to develop into a regular first grader. On the other hand, we have acquired a young prop forward with some potential. It sounds like a good deal for 2026 and beyond.

    Tallyn Da Silva

    I think he had a poor game. Not impressed.

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

    The starch went our of our defence as fatigue set in. Croker and jurbo (and others) were defensively oustanding in the first 40 minutes; great line speed and solid initial contact. Once that fell away the knights found some momentum.

    Clayton Faulalo

    He is skilful and ethusiastic, but he makes almost no metres when rucking it out from our own end and regularly gets rag-dolled. Whilst he is skilful, he isn't (yet) 1st grade standard in this part of his game.

    MVP: Rd 13 v Broncos

    3. jazz - the best defender in the team tonight. Wholehearted and heavily involved. 2. Hoppa - very impressive and an exciting glimpse of the future 1. DCE - Excellent game management.

    Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    I don't think there is a manly player who has worked as hard as jazz tevaga in 2025. He is everywhere in defence. 110% effort.

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    I saw that and thought it wasn't a great thing to say about a teammate. I think it says as much about DCE's character as jazz's passing.

    MVP: Rd 11 v Cowboys

    Burbo - lots of enthusiasm in defence, and more effective in attack. Forming a decent combination with brooks. Hoppa - elite yardage effort from our own end. Quality player. Jazz - gutsy all-effort player. A tough and skillful small middle forward - just what we have needed.

    How do we unlock Koula?

    I like that he is changing direction, using footwork and a change of speed rather than simply running straight into the defensive line.

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Tevaga is actually a pretty good pick up. He isn't a hooker, but he is a pretty handy middle forward/13. He can hit and spin, offload and is a good defender. Gutsy player too.

    Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    On a positive note, burbo is playing well and looking more like a first grader.

    Line speed and ruck area

    I agree. Our initial contact isn't great either and we allow a lot of post contact metres. We must must be one of the poorer teams in holding an attacker up, then pushing them backwards and slowly to the ground. Need a new wrestling coach!

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    This moment was special. Jazz ran from the ruck to make that tackle (running past most of his teammates in the process). Jazz isn't the fastest, biggest or flashiest player, but he gives his all.
