    Number 9 - when will they learn.

    Interesting balance trying to get the best outcomes with the current 9 options . Froggy [ starting ] and Simpkin complementing after that, may offer the most value . Jazz can certainly manage a worthwhile role there as well but given the also open question who can offer the most helpful input at...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Just pure self indulgence with D C E irresponsible kicking Game result and critical momentum shifts did essentially turn as a result and totally unfair on the guys who were really trying to put in and do what was expected of them . Brooksy not helping with his lack of management input as well...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Not too concerned with Sipps, will be fresh and sure that he will have a decent dig Maybe would have preferred to have kept Jass at 13 , noticed that he has [ or has been carrying ] a minor injury so not sure if that was a consideration but should have made not that much difference Knights...

    Simione Laifai

    Doubt if he would have been elevated to the top 30 squad unless the coaching staff are fairly sure that he has some definite ability and potential . Probably has to have some time in Flegg [ if he hasn 't already ]and at a more competitive level and see how he can manage that . Certainly does...

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    Definite savings approaching with those three instances but also will need definite upgrades to Lehi , Bully , Burbo and maybe to a lesser extent Koula who is probably on decent money already . Maybe even Talau and Faulalo Could be a few hundred grand in resultant savings but would more look to...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Turbo was pretty good i st game of the season against the Cows and did seem very promising with the Turbo factor from the back ongoing but cruel fate has stepped in again . Would still expect Turbo to resume full back duties when available again for this season , even into next but even if it...

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    Would have thought slightly less but to suit both parties and no doubt priority soon will be an upgrade to Lehi and then beyond 27. Even to a lesser extent Burbo but in both instances , can only anticipate a major reduction in Jake 's and Turbo "s future deals for whatever time so that naturally...

    Bullemor...-----> bullys more

    Would have to be one of the most prolonged laid back and casual Manly re signing exercises that i have noticed since i have been following the club Hope that it can be definitely finalized this time , Can only see positives for both parties when it does become official

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Paseka , Alioia and T K O would hardly be rated in the slow department or lacking leg speed , even Sipley has seemed to have improved his leg drive in recent seasons . Agility slightly different matter but still need the bigger bodies with mobility to generally provide the crucial go forward ...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    So many positives but probably understated how well the defence aimed up , was organized and worked for each other . D C E showing what he is really capable of again but also can not understate Brooks 's much improved performance level . Plenty of things pleasingly going Manly "s way which can...

    Lehi deserves the 1

    Really should not have played last week . Could only conclude that the prospect of playing Origin again superseded his main responsibility to Manly and being able to fully recover from that cork . Maybe there was a bit of confidence from the medical staff that he could be right to go but must...

    Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Think much will depend how well the Manly defence can hold up and possession share . If Alioia can add a bit of bustle and the rest of the pack can stand up and which they are quite capable of , maybe not so much pessimism at how well the side can actually go Much also will definitely depend...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Tends to be fairly reliable and has a go but shown up defensively by committing too early against the Storm and the Broncs no slouches [ or tend to be ] in attack also if given the opportunity

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Not that footy [ or ex ] players or general commentators need that much gravitas to be suited to that set role but just have an impression that maybe D C E would not be necessarily a natural fit in the general public sense . No question, capable of being quite well spoken also in a general...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Only expectation i have with D C E is that he puts in or offers maximum effort on the field for Manly until season "s end Quite good signs against the Cows and importantly , measured up defensively and with the backdrop of the still continuing off field distractions . Could be the case that he...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Definitely going to need a good night with completion rates and field position and may well be able to be in contention if they can at least get those basics right . Going to have to be a lot more agile and eager in defence then that effort against the Eels and a bit of concern there with Lodge...

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Manly got close to the Broncs last encounter just over 12 months ago [ think that there was only a late field in it to the Broncs ] after a poor Manly i st half and guess that it could come down to how either side has improved or general form since then . Broncs having major issues lately but...

    [Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

    Not sure how it really applies or applied but thought that the pay out amount was just deducted from a club's cap and then to sign a player or players on a similar amount for the previous contract time frame , Club had to cough up the funds aside from the standard N R L allocation and as far...
