Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
This fkn bipolar team keeps giving me hope every second week.. will struggle to get properly excited until we string a few of these types of performances on the trot in a row That said - I think a lot of it comes down to the constant in and out of Turbo, whether he’s playing or whether he’s...- JakeyB789

Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
Maybe I was watching different games but I thought he has been OK with the chances he has gotten? Downright terrible is a massive stretch. The Warriors game where he played centre for the first and only time in top grade is probably the only one I can remember where he played poorly, but...- JakeyB789

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
It's not just their ages mate - Croker is busted and has only just returned from a long layoff straight back into the 17, same with Lodge who looked about 15kg overweight last week. Waddell could be 23 or 33 but he's still a garbage footy player and Brown tries his heart out but has been busted...- JakeyB789

2026 recruitment & retention
Those Lehi stats are unreal - not a lot to be excited about at the moment but geez we have a good one there. Even as a critic of Garrick in the centres his defence has been much improved there this year. The 1-5 is perfectly fine as is, the rest of the team however...- JakeyB789

Rebuild at what cost?
Fine by me as long as there is a decent plan in place as you said. Sounds better than finishing 7th-12th every year, not being able to string consistent results together and never being a genuine premiership threat. I think with Fogarty coming in and the Trbo's coming off contract soon there...- JakeyB789

Young Forwards - Do we have any?
Roosters just rolled out a pack containing a bunch young blokes with under 10-15 games experience, including one on debut. Proceeded to roll the Sharks and their forwards who we’ve been incapable of beating in recent years. We surely have some younger forwards worth playing. Patolo, Pua’Avase...- JakeyB789

Burbo
Well yeah.. last night was the first and only game he’s missed. He had a cracker last week but I’m not quite ready to call him the saviour yet. However when his only replacement is the worst player in the comp in Waddell then Burbo being out will stand out more than usual. I think it just...- JakeyB789

Metcalf
Metcalf has had the advantage of a few extra years of development which all young players need to come into their own. It’s only gonna get harder to justify letting the likes of Weekes, Humphreys and Fainu leave as they will continue to develop and improve just as Metcalf has. I would take any...- JakeyB789

Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]
We probably will somehow win this and then get rolled by the Knights the week after, that’s the true Manly Way.- JakeyB789

Post-Game Discussion Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Genuinely - can anyone think of a worse loss we’ve had in the last 2.5 years under Seibold? And does anyone think he can turn a result like that around by the end of the year? Hanging onto ****ing nothing from my eyes- JakeyB789

Jacob Arthur
Agreed mate, if Walsh is in the top 30 squad and in the box with the coaches like he was last week in Townsville I don’t know why he isn’t being given a crack. Things couldn’t have been better for Arthur to perform tonight and he couldn’t get it done… how would he look against a half decent team...- JakeyB789

Jacob Arthur
Walsh in for the next Origin game without D$E. Arthur has had his chance multiple times and failed on every occasion, anyone who watched him in the trials would’ve known this was coming. Seems like a nice kid but it’s a massive jump to first grade for him and I’d be worried if I were getting on...- JakeyB789

Luke Brooks - the plate is hot
Too much to expect for this bloke to step up with our main half out? I guess the excuse will be that he’s only on 700k so we’re getting good value for what we’re paying. Well in a hotly contested pool of **** players he might have been the worst tonight. At least he gave us some semi decent...- JakeyB789

Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]
Waddell is the worst player in the NRL but is starting and will play 80 minutes for us tonight. Can point at a few reasons why we are behind to a weak as **** Parra team right now but that would be the first thing I’m looking at.- JakeyB789

[Resurrected] Ben Trbojevic for NSW
Ripper game from Burbo. I’m sure the usuals will come out and say people are nuts for ever bagging him but let’s be honest, to this point he really hasn’t been great. A bit of improvement over the last few weeks and then tonight was probably the best game of his career. Keep it up Benny I’m more...- JakeyB789

Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
DCE is just pathetic. More momentum killing kicks on first tackle, drop outs that go neither short nor long, horrible defence down his side every time. Can’t stand the prick, rest of the team bar Turbo are doing OK though- JakeyB789

Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]
Good chance we see the old Turbo tonight. After Lomax and Kiraz’s showings last night he will need to have one of the games of his life tonight to be picked for his precious Origin- JakeyB789

What’s really killing our 2025 season?
Our pack was already one of the worst in the comp, take out the best middle forward in Paseka and Aloiai now having been out for over a month as well, it’s practically impossible for us to compete. Especially against teams with bigger and stronger packs like the Sharks. The D$E situation...- JakeyB789
