    Why I Think Manly Will Never Compete Long-Term Again

    I don't agree with the overall sentiments in this thread. Except for the past 10 years, the overall stats are not that bad. The malaise is very specifically isolated to the last 10 years and from my perspective, the problem here has had nothing to do with our owners or their lack of involvement...

    New coach Poll

    I would not be surprised and probably the smartest move we make this year. I actually felt sorry for Seibold watching the press conference on Friday night. Looked totally shattered and bereft of any ideas. For his own mental welfare and the betterment of the team, club and us poor suffering...

    Aloiai Gone

    Not my favourite player but I do wish him all the best. Not sure where the $1m in cap savings comes from. I thought Josh was on about $650k so that would go into our annual cap saving. Add in Sipley moving at about $400k plus the savings on DCE to Fogarty move and there is another $600k...

    Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Looking forward to seeing Lodge back in the pack. His stats over last few weeks have been quite impressive so be interesting if he can replicate at NRL. He would be a huge bonus moving forward this year given Paseka gone and Alioia absolutely nowhere to be seen. I would love to see Lodge and...

    Jake T.

    Yep. Age catches up with all of us unfortunately. Some sooner than others. Jake has a decision to make THIS YEAR. I hope he makes that decision and not someone else. I have mentioned in other threads that I think he would be brilliant as a key part of our coaching staff. That's where his future...

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Congratulation to the boys. Great win and probably the best defensive display I have seen this season. If we can turn up each week with that defensive mindset and commitment, then I reckon we are real chance for this year. We know we can score tries. We now know we can defend. Lets see if they...

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    There are many questions around Jake's future that will need to be asked and answered. However there is no doubt in my mind that he can still provide enormous value in defence in that critical first quarter of the game. That's where I think a team establishes or looses it's ascendency for the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    Hey well done to Seibold. Good selections. Smart move having Jake come back and starting at prop. That is his best and (I think) only position. Jazz absolutely owned that #13 against Penrith so good to see he is rewarded with same position. Same with Simpkin. So good to have Saaby back as he is...

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    Will be an interesting insight into Seibold's thinking. Most people would not dare change that team that was so successful against the 4 times premiers last time we played. Especially when you consider we got some seriously bad calls in that 2nd half but still managed to hold them out AND run...

    Shafted once again

    Yes it's a dead set Handicap system. The NRL equivalent of the Stawell Gift. Crazy. You would think the bleeding obvious would be to showcase the SOO at the END of the Premiership. But then again I am sure that's way too simple a solution!!!

    Jamal Fogarty

    Yes it's an obvious issue isn't it. Now that they have secured a great solution to the DCE departure, I reckon it's a question of WHEN they press the button on the Turbo and Jake changes. Turbo I think will be the easy one and probably would involve a mutually agreed adjustment to the current...

    Joey Walsh

    Part of the problem today around some young kids coming through the ranks is the enormous impact of social media in forming opinions. The myriad of promotional videos and glossy commentary usually start when the kid is playing in the lower grades and of course assume same standard of play (and...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Not sure what you expect him to say Mick. He is still signed at Raiders and I assume committed to give 100% to sticky and the team for the rest of the year. He is NOT going to say I love Manly and cant wait to get there!!!! Can you imagine the fallout from that headline. He is a lot smarter than...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Congratulations to the Recruitment boys. This is a very smart and astute buy given our circumstances and at really good value price. No disrespect to DCE but this guy is different in many respects. I think he will promote a different style of play and more of a team approach. Love to see him...

    Siosiua Taukeiaho

    Agree that would be an awesome middle pack that could potentially take us into a GF this year. Will just have to wait and see how Lodge goes next few weeks in Reserves and (hopefully) in NRL. My fingers crossed for the guy. Ironic that our best 3 middles so far this year (sio, bullymore and...

    Siosiua Taukeiaho

    I think he is a lot better than any other middle we have had for last few years. Bully and Paseka of late probable exceptions. Not a bad a trio though to take into a GF!!!

    You mean like Jake has been ill disciplined for the last few years..... on almost $1m / season? I know which one is contributing more to the team.

    Siosiua Taukeiaho

    This guy just gets better and better with each game. One of our best last night and the mainstay of our middles for most of the season. Smart bargain basement buy that I would be upgrading sooner rather than later.

    Why Manly are the most frustrating team in the NRL

    There were two bad decisions against the Eagles in that 2nd half that had a massive momentum shift. In addition to the Penrith 40/20 you mention there was also the Penrith bomb that Turbo took with his foot clearly on our try line. That should have been our 20 metre tap instead of a goal line...
