The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
Wishing Schu the best, not arrogant, not creating off field scenes as a bad public figure....just rolled into tough times that not every "youngster" can handle. It's a real shame, I mean this was a young bloke with the world at his feet, not someone who done the dirty on Manly....he loved the...- maxta

Middle Forwards
Yeh mate, he is 100% referring to the middles , not the edge... But Fridays game Haumole was 2 different players. 1st half drifting sideways and looking to pass before the line, trying chip kicks and an attempted miracle pass when it was a 3 on 3. 2nd half did not look to pass, just powering...- maxta

The Elephant in the room
The interesting test will be seeing "how much impact" Tom T adds this weekend on return, as DCE and a fair few players are looking in cruise control and lacking zest and he should open the game up more for the key players. Agreed DCE looks a little lacklustre in recent times and to call it out...- maxta

Seibold presser ..
Yeh look I don't reckon Seibold is as terrible a coach as some say But his accountability is a cop out and will weaken the mentality amongst the players If they deserve a kick up the ass, he is the bloke to do it and atm seems happy to accept losing and finds a way to justify it Prefer true...- maxta

2 worst issues at Manly today - outside Defence
The attempt to shift the ball and play sideways before earning the right and firstly winning some momentum through the middle. Yes there were arguably without the 3 best front rowers in Paseka, Aloiai and Jake.....but still need to go forward to give your back's space Even last night the 1st...- maxta

Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle
Another thing was errors - the clunky attack was frustrating to watch and the sideways "go to" shift, is becoming like an attempted escape when the opposition is getting on top physically, rather than contest with grit, it's the desperation risk plays as if chasing points with 1 minute to go I...- maxta

Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle
The Manly middle is near the worst defensively in the NRL and take Jake out - it is.... So slow to get up and the dummy half is already in motion as they struggle to get onside....and when there is an odd decent tackle and win contact, still allow the attacker to win the ruck and play it fast...- maxta

Croker
Times are tough when the Batman lights beam down in the shape of Croker Tough and whole hearted, would be lucky to get a gig at many other NRL teams as the number 1 hooker and is far from an impact player Would give him time in NSW cup as a lock and seen if he could add value as a half...- maxta

2026 recruitment & retention
Looking at "value" signings... Only a lightweight but I like the energy of Plath from Dolphins as a lock Duncan Tallis from Bunnies only young but has ability.....the Knight backrower Kai pearce would be ideal left edge and the backrower we up against this weekend Tieg Wilton is a real goer too- maxta

Calls For An Indigenous Australian International Team
What a ridiculous idea We are one, we are many they said ?? Then we "suddenly"want to play test matches against each other ?? In Rugby League history there have been greats like Beetson, Inglis proudly wearing the green and gold, so what's the big sudden movement. If this was to go ahead, would...- maxta

Tommy Talau
I honestly don't know what has happened to Jakes defence....is he concentrating so hard prematurely he needs to "Get off Jake" that he is not ripping in like Jake of old with those drivining rib rattlers ? This was not "just" the Storm game, but pretty much the entire season. Jake really is a...- maxta

Tommy Talau
Talau may be a back, but there's a big part of his game that has been missed - Aggression !! Talau runs with extra vigour and though no matai, when he hits often slugs them pretty hard which is better than what our forwards, let alone our backs do ..... apart from Haumole. Look forward to...- maxta
