[Resurrected] Tom Wright
Easy in hindsight but only position that Tom Wright was close to maybe securing in a Manly backline spot was as a winger in the 2 nd year of his then 3 season contract Still not assured and did not seem to be too many complaints when he asked for an early release with one more contact year to...- manly al

Game Day: Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]
Looks like a dry track and if their defence and pack holds up , could be looking a bit brighter Manly bench could be a factor in their favor as well Just feel a bit more optimistic for some reason now and got a feeling that they could put on some really decent footy. Well only a hunch but...- manly al

The way forward
Let "s see how things go when the contact values of D C E , Turbo and Jake finishes and comes into effect and savings ideally redirected for a more balanced and value for money squad In all probability , if there could have been even close to receiving some decent return on investment for those...- manly al

November Targets
Hard to say with some of these types of re signings when a player is on pretty decent coin already Maybe Garrick wishes to test his value in the open market soon and with the cap increasing soon also but that would be proportional to all clubs including Manly Valuable team member but don't...- manly al

Jason Saab
Pretty sure that this is Saab"s 6 th season with Manly now and still would contend more good on balance then not Injury issues certainly not helping the past couple of seasons but quite a few other team problems and not his making , no doubt restricting his opportunities to show his best...- manly al

Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]
I am not overly hopeful against the Tigers , fairly well balanced side and apparently have been taking it up to all sides for some time now but Manly had a decent dig against them not that long ago so maybe some hope they can lift again sufficiently . Bula did not play last time and i rate him...- manly al

Rest well Shaun Lane
Slightly further south then Hammo island actually but just 4 1/2 K's from the coast with a farm property sea view and i certainly appreciate that. Still a fairly laid back lifestyle in my region despite a quite big uptake population wise for a while now- manly al

Actually just noticed your Terry Randell reference and was just thinking the other day that your posting style remined me of him or that persona posting name Somehow seems a bit more refined these days if you don "t mind me saying with your posting style but meant in a complimentary way One...- manly al

Rest well Shaun Lane
Often overlook Jacko 's time with Manly , had some talent [ probably still does ] but of course some other issues as well in his Manly stint Still seems to be on good money and apparently a good stint in the S L but does not look like really making the mark that his early promise may have...- manly al

Rest well Shaun Lane
Maybe played a part in him leaving but pretty sure it was mainly a money factor Manly 's best offer at the time around the 300 K range with him off contract , Eels 500 k , Big difference Taking into account that when Manly signed him or at least in his i st season , he was only on about $...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Blake Wilson has quite a bit going for him , good finisher and broken field runner Probably can easily be accommodated cap wise if the likes of Schoupp and Ray Ray are not retained but still have a bit of time for Ray Ray with his block busting style of play Think that Turpin played a bit in...- manly al

Clayton Faulalo
He [ Sabb ] has had stanzas where he has been super quick but since that early season L A Souths match last year , has had a very disruptive run with injuries which has at times definitely impeded his pace asset Not too sure whether the problem is with D C E not being able to provide more...- manly al

Joey Walsh
Good summary not sure if there can be or may a similar correlation with Walsh as there was with Weekes but Manly had a few or expected longer term options at one while Weekes was on the books Whereas , only looks like an aging Fogarty going forward right now for a 7 role and Walsh ...- manly al

Realize that was a factor and Walsh , again , having some issues getting back into the swing of things early on but not helping how things seem to be evolving right now with the 3 year deal .Guess that it is also again going to come down to how much better can Walsh get next season as...- manly al

Notice that Saab has apparently been down a bit this season on his previous top speed rating No doubt , mainly injury factors responsible and did stride out well in that recent corner touchdown against the Dogs Then last week , maybe with a bit more of his normal speed edge , could have...- manly al

Clayton Faulalo
Talau is nothing if not versatile but just recall that brief stint he had as a 6 against the Bunnies last season when D C E and Brooks were not available Defended well but looked like not the best fit attacking wise Still , showed that he could more then handle being a bit closer to the ruck...- manly al

Fair enough but a 650 K contract to reconcile with or freight wise , not an easy matter but may just have to be sorted somehow without disadvantaging Manly too much and if it has to be down the track soon- manly al

Maybe a bit on the unlikely side still but continue to think that Talau could have the attributes to be moulded into a competitive 13 Being a bit injury prone for a good part of this season probably does not help [ seems to be mainly hammy related for some reason ] but again when his style of...- manly al

Maybe that is going to be a consideration but even a fair portion of a 650 K contract would be a big ask of any S L club let alone the fact Fogarty is hardly a household N R l name and 32 next year Wish it was not a quite likely problem coming up but will just have to be dealt with as best...- manly al
