    The Daly Cherrygraph

    A lot has been said about the clubs retention and recruitment and some comments are definitely on the mark, however the club got this one correct last season where they didn’t go all out to sign him, thank goodness that the reactive consideration to resign him earlier this season failed, based...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Agree on MCK he has been no standout in Cup, though he did a decent job against the raiders, outside of Waddell the forwards all went well against a good pack. On performances in Cup there are a few that have played well and consistently, injuries to Dunford and Patolo came at the wrong time...

    NSW Cup 2025

    He was part of the Toyota cup side that had some good players in it, not sure what happened with him between then and now, watching him it’s easy to see the skill and talent he possesses, from what I read on him he runs a concrete business, if he could commit to playing full time he would have a...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Caught up on a few of the games and the most consistent player over the last 8-12 games would be Semisi Kioa, can break tackles and has decent footwork, he has a few errors in his game but if he can get a full offseason under his belt and be a full time player his game would go to another level...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    The senior leadership group have been poor for the last four weeks of football, no inspirational moments that can get the team back winning after the Storm flogged them at home, Turbo is the best chance this squad have got to get back winning, he should be captain for me.

    NSW Cup 2025

    Schoupp looks to be in some trouble, haven’t seen it yet but this is from the match report. 10 minutes into the second half, the Manly Sea Eagles were left with a 12 men as centre Aaron Schoupp was dramatically sent from the field. A spear tackle on Raiders Michael Asomua saw the referee Chis...

    First coach sacked.

    Sacking O’Brien or Seibold after round seven, especially when their teams reached the semi-finals last season, may not be justified. Early-season struggles can stem from various factors, including injuries, fixture difficulties, or issues not directly related to coaching performance...

    Yes, when you are struggling with a bad run of injuries to field a competitive team, why would you risk the chance of further injuries?

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    I like Jake he is an outstanding person and clubman, passionate and bleeds Manly. For me it’s Turbo who I think should be club captain, he has a high footy IQ and provides inspirational plays that not many in the game can do and that’s not a knock on the others it’s Turbo being so good.

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    Turbo has many attributes to his game,.the most important aspect he will fill when he returns is the on field leadership that has disappeared without him, DCE, Jake and Haumole haven’t delivered.

    NRL Games [Round 7, 2025]

    Warriors are blessed with some quality young forwards coming through, Halasima could be anything only 19 still, Vaimauga, Laban, Eddie Ieremia-Toeava he is the one I think Manly should go after, very good defender and a tackle busting edge forward and Kayliss Fatialofa. The Warriors, Rorters...

    NRL Games [Round 7, 2025]

    Hudson is probably the best value, don’t think he will play origin, hopefully he goes well for you.

    NRL Games [Round 7, 2025]

    Young Tommy Weaver gets an opportunity, I think he will do well, more structured than Campbell and Brimson.

    Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    A few keen on Patolo in their respective team selections, from the games I have seen he has made Sipley look like Payne Haas. Not many options in NSW cup, they will have to pick James as he is in the 30 man squad, don’t know how likely it will be to get an exemption to play the train and trial...

    The Haumole Bible.

    That game was probably the worst game I have seen Haumole play. I don’t think he will get selected for Origin one, playing outside of DCE he is almost guaranteed to be playing in round 12 against the Eels.

    Shaun Lane

    He was awful in the game against the Raiders in Darwin, he is on the downward spiral, don’t need another forward whose best football is behind him.

    Lehi Hopoate

    Agree with what you have written, though the team desperately need Simpkin or another nine playing nine, Tevega is such an easy read for the opposition, he doesn’t attract defenders around him or the ruck and this allows the opposition to slide earlier to the edges, looked better when Simpkin...

    I think this is where the difficult conversations start, @Woodsie makes a valid point (employer duty of care) and the Olam scenario is to your point he didn’t want to retire, though he eventually came to an agreement on his medical retirement.

    Croker

    Reading through the Olam case this could have been a point from his employer, he was against the original decision of medical retirement though eventually agreeing to the terms.

    Your thought could be correct, trying to find any guideline is difficult on what information the NRL have formalised. Some points on what you mentioned. based on the two recent medical retirements. Practical Application: Case Studies - Justin Olam (Wests Tigers, 2025): Olam, a 31-year-old...
