Croker
This is a short summary of what a club would need to do in medically retiring a player, based on the recent retirements of Justin Olam and Christian Welsh. To medically retire a player in the NRL, a club must follow these key steps and requirements: 1. Medical Assessment: - Obtain a...- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
TKO has done well and does have impact, Haumole playing on the edge excludes him from being a middle.- Dion Johnson

Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]
This is what I found 2023 Season (Round 9), Sipley was charged with a Grade 2 crusher tackle on Gold Coast Titans player Phillip Sami during a match. As it was his second such offense, he accepted an early guilty plea and received a three-match suspension, avoiding a potential four-match ban if...- Dion Johnson

2026 recruitment & retention
I would be disappointed if they made another recruitment decision like that, Ofahengaues best football is behind him and replicates a high majority of the current middle forwards at the club, recruit younger footballers whose best football is in front of them.- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
The below are supplementary players, Caleb Navale D’Jazirhae ‘Mia’ Pua'avase Simione Laiafi Zaidas Muagututia Navale would be the most likely to get a run, round 11 is the one when the train and trial players will be available, that can’t come quick enough..- Dion Johnson

2025 NRL Season Sea Eagle Negative Play
Likewise I have tried to see the better side of his game, those statistics are not up to first grade. My thoughts on him he gets fatigued and makes poor decisions, when he is at marker he often gets caught out with his slowness, I would have him as a middle rotation playing 45-50 minutes...- Dion Johnson

Those statistics don’t read very well for Ben Trbojevic, really struggling with his discipline and ball handling.- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
Watching how a pack like the Dragons rolled through the middle is a huge worry for the rest of the season, since the injury of Tent the middle is not up to scratch, take Bully out and it looks like a NSW Cup middle on form. The team selection will be eagerly awaited, Turbo will have to return...- Dion Johnson

Pre-Game Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]
This Tuesday will be a challenge with the team selection, particularly the forwards. Jake T is ruled out, Bully picked up a knee injury and Brown an AC joint issue, Sipley potentially suspended. Aloiai may return along with Waddell, the club maybe forced to play James as he is in the 30 man...- Dion Johnson

Croker
Maybe it’s time for the club to move on from Croker, he has had a wretched run with injuries, his return last season was fairly poor.- Dion Johnson

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
Blaming the coach when a few of the so called big names at the club have been playing poorly for the last four games is a cop out. Most people in the game can see the on field leadership is a major concern for the club, the team selection is an area Seibold needs to change as a few are not...- Dion Johnson

MVP: Rd 7 v Dragons
3. Hoppa, great positioning at the back, came up with some good try saving plays and his attacking game was better. 2. TKO, had to play extra minutes and did very well. 1. Simpkin, kept the Dragons defence from consistently sliding, attracted defenders, something much needed.- Dion Johnson

This team are also rans!
I agree change is needed though on Patolo he hasn’t done anything worth noting in NSW cup this season. I would prefer they looked at Sykes and Dunford, both move laterally better.- Dion Johnson

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
My thoughts with Garrick and Koula is they would attract the right money without having to pay freight, I think you would be paying heavy freight on Jake for another club to take on. That three year NRL deal on Waddell is astonishing, maybe a three year train and trial deal I would have...- Dion Johnson

Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle
I agree they got done in the middle the first forty and the Dragons were consistently winning field position throughout the game. The second forty the middle did perform better, I don’t know how but it would be worthwhile looking at it again. A chance for a couple of younger players next week...- Dion Johnson

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
I don’t think they missed Jake tonight. I would not extend the following players, Aaron Schoupp Aitasi James Daly Cherry-Evans Dean Matterson Gordon Chan Kum Tong Jazz Tevaga Michael Chee Kam Raymond Vaega Toafofoa Sipley Out of the above only DCE is on decent dollars, need more...- Dion Johnson

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
I don’t know how but they held better in the second half, the loss of Jake didn’t hurt as much as the loss of Bully for me.- Dion Johnson
