    Game Day: Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    Case in point, 1995 Grand Final. Our poor attitude that day worked against us, unfortunately. We went in thinking it was an easy win. Big mistake.

    Also helps having halves who are better at short kick bombs. You watch where the ball usually comes down when kicked for Coates as opposed to the kicks Saab gets. Coates basically just gets to jump, catch and fall down to score. 90% of the bombs Saab gets to go for end up 5 metres inside the...

    You do read Silvertails, right?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Seriously, we get as unhinged in here after a loss, especially a bad one, as any other fan forum.

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    Part of what beats me is that Michael Ennis is one of our coaching staff and as much as he's a pain in the backside, the fact is in his playing days he was one of the best dummy halves going. You'd think he'd at least know that we'd probably be better off with Simpkin in the 9 and if they don't...

    Coates basically went over the top of Walsh there. WTF was the penalty for?? If he touched anything it was Walsh's 80s hair band mop up top and nothing to be penalised for. That was a penalty more on suspicion than actual fact.

    Name one NRL fan forum that isn't unhinged when their team is losing :rofl:

    I swear, if the bunker had been around in the 80s about 80% of the tries scored would have been denied.

    100%. A Melbourne win tonight is better for Manly regardless of tomorrow night's result. Even if we're out in the first or second week like last year ... TBH I'd rather play Finals than not even if Seibold's job allegedly rests on us making the top 8.

    Between you, me and the gatepost ... I didn't actually like that jumper. We played the Dogs at the Olympic Stadium (Telstra Stadium back then) and won the night we played in it.

    Xavier Coates has definitely slowed down. 3 years ago he burns the Broncos.

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Reuben Garrick as a centre. I think he's proven better there than most give him credit for, its just that I believe his best position is on the wing. Tommy Talau has only been playing wing for Manly because that's where he's been picked most of the time, but the...

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    With Lehi Hopoate not being a factor (AC joint), this weeks backline is how I'd have it if I was the coach, which thankfully for all concerned other than my bank account, I am not. Tommy Talau at centre and leaving Reuben Garrick on the wing gives some hope, however fleeting it may be, that our...

    Garrick

    Some might not like this but given young GrassHoppa's lack of form recently (other than his tackle on Xavier Coates, what's he done lately??), I'd honestly be leaving Garrick on the wing and playing Tommy Talau at centre. If that means Hopoate gets dropped either to the bench or Blacktown, so...

    I'll have to go back and look, but right now its a tentative yes lol

    Jake T.

    The trick is convincing any of them to come to Manly. Not an easy job when there is constant speculation about the coach and when the clubs games record holding, long standing captain, wants out. It doesn't paint a picture of a good club to be at right now. Good players used to want to play...

    Jake T.

    IIRC I said all of this about Jake at the start of the year and got shouted down for it..... Unfortunately, his game plateaued 4–5 years ago and has been on a decline ever since. He barely makes any metres in attack, he slows down the attack at lock and his once dominant tackling has been...
