Joey Walsh
Still would not undervalue Brooks ability to trouble opposition defences Needs a retreating and more broken defensive line and not going to happen with the likes Ola and Tent out for extended periods and more organized built up plays , preferably initiated from a 7 playing an expected and...- manly al

Joey Walsh
Not helpful at the time of the Fogarty signing and shenanigans with D C E when Walsh was still in the recovery stage and getting back on his feet footy wise . Would not have altered the signing of Fogarty one would assume but may have reduced his contract range to 2 years and a bit more of a...- manly al

Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]
Still an obligation to select the best available 17 and this line up looks about right in the current circumstances Not too sure what is required for Lehi to have a better influence in games from the back again , no doubt to just bulk up a little bit and more experience in attack as most...- manly al

Manly Attacking Formula ?
Has n "t seemed to be the necessary amount of decoy running lately either . Even with Waddell and M C K on the edges , should still have been able to manage some plays to put the Raiders defence in slightly two minds and to break up their easily set defence which was hardly troubled despite...- manly al

Tom Trbojevic was a Legend
Most likely more interest for next season if Turbo is in reasonable shape and finishes this year moving O K and at one . And if the best option at the back for the start of 26 , Lehi back to the wing , Garrick back to centre with Koula and Saab other winger Won 't please everyone but a quite...- manly al

Run Koula Run
Certainly if both Turbo and Lehi were unavailable , try Koula at one but hopeful long term position at Manly in the centres so may as well continue there Not sure with season 27 as an option in his favor has him open to other options after Nov the i st but hopefully not and more time for...- manly al

The problem
Navale is certainly surprising with his limited i st grade appearances this season Can only assume a practical reason , probably a bit early for the likes of Hart Not too sure what other youngsters could have been promoted this season at least Definitely would like to see Walsh given a...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]
Simpkin can only get better and benefit the side more starting and playing big minutes Think that he had something like 25 tackles up to half time and still maintain some deceptive running ability- manly al

The problem
Wish it was as simple as changing the owners but think that it is glaringly obvious again that you cannot have the best part of 3 . 5 mil of the cap going to D C E , Turbo , Jake and Alioia where value for money , form issues game availability and self petulance has cruelled the team 's...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]
At least competitive to a point but more clear then ever ,that lack of impact from the likes of Ola , Paseka and would add Burbo to limit whatever useful attack Manly was able to manage Not sure just how good Strange is , above average ability on his feet but tend to think inadequate defence...- manly al

Game Day: Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]
Have to improve big time to still be in contention or deserve a top 8 spot but before the expected challenging run of 4 games starting with the Storm , pretty much needed 2 wins . Of course , that encouraging win against the Storm and need the win tonight to largely maintain whatever or that...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Guess also that Manly were well in contention for a top 8 finish until recent times and with the forward lineup relatively full strength minus Tent but big out with Haumole for the past 2 or so months Indifferent to some terrible match outcomes on occasions not really [ or only marginally ]...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Personally could not care if Seibs stays or goes but would expect to see out 26 but pretty cruel injury outcome when all is said and done and in terms of having a more mobile complexion to a forward line up Just for example if the best run on pack was available for the majority of the time -...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Looks like the recruiting grouping are at least trying to bring in young props who have or are showing some promise Don 't think that it was not long ago that Roosters junior prop and one from the Brissy junior comp, not to include Hart have been signed . In addition to the current Manly N S W...- manly al

Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]
Looks like Schoupp "s defence is up to scratch , doesn 't seem to have that much pace attack wise but as you say , solid enough all round competitor and off contract so may just make some extra effort to try to impress- manly al
