Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]
Don 't seem to be getting best value attacking wise from Bully in recent times . Maybe just need a bit wider running in the ruck area . Attack was a bit off in general and even Haumole was not being used properly in his time on the paddock ,Also not help with the swarming type Dogs defence...- manly al

Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]
Thought that Manly needed 2 wins from the 4 projected [ and consecutive ] tough games starting with the Storm to be a decent shot of making the 8 Think that it is still the case and to then get at least 2 wins from ? is it Dragons , Tigges , Phins and Warriors . that seems more then...- manly al

Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Not quite a total let down but pretty close to it Can attribute the more then expectant instances of unforced errors , a lot of disjointed attack and a major lack of possession to the poor outcome but seemed a bigger problem with the inability to shut down many of the Dogs attacking plays ...- manly al

NSW Cup 2025
Panthers N S W cup side gave the Manly line up a bit of a touch up in a trial match for 25 so looks like some definite competitive improvement for the season proper for the Manly Reggies going on yesterday 's result . Might also serve to help keep the i st grade line up in a good level...- manly al

Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Especially if his defence is coming on well also [ Hart ] , No substitute for speed anywhere in a line up Tried to see how long he has been signed for but could not find any details . Hopefully for some time yet . Not sure about Bryan but throw in those other two young props who seem to...- manly al

Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Guess being a home game can warrant some type of recognition but a parade seems a bit over the top . Maybe just restricted to welcoming the Dogs players onto the field but would have to rate in the poor taste category parading around the ground , also taking into account some of the...- manly al

Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Still a hard one to predict though plenty of indicators that Manly are more then capable of winning Will be important to try and win the middle and hopefully the good results last week with set completions , defence holding up and field position can continue to play out well Think that Lehi...- manly al

Luke Brooks - the plate is hot
Fogarty may have played a bit of 6 earlier on somewhere but could only see him in a 7 role for Manly , at least for next season Could be a case for Walsh in a 6 role sometime soon as he looks to have that more free running style and a reasonably solid built for his age , though long term [...- manly al

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
I wouldn "t , need some largely direct running at 6 with the present backline set up and D C E not noted for that . Plus the combo [ or reasonable ] with Haumole and also Daly "s reads in defence a bit wider not one of his strong points usually . Know that Seibs selected Talau as a 6 against...- manly al

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Not in the decisive stakes category [ well not on present indications ] like that knockout match last year ] but does have a bit of a semi final feel about it . On paper or even form wise , Manly should be more then capable of getting the points and can only expect them to be up for the...- manly al

The Daly Cherrygraph
Guess when Manly "s season defensively is analysed in the general sense for 25 , probably does stack up reasonably well in terms of the commitment level and effectiveness . Obviously not helped on occasions with injuries , players playing out of position and a couple of the slower forwards...- manly al

Be interesting how much coin for any official contract if the almost inevitable move to the Roosters does occur . Of course a couple of after career inducements to play their part also no doubt Then looks like Sandon Smith on the move and how to accommodate their current emerging half...- manly al

Will Croker be back?
N R L are going to seem a bit pedantic if they try and discount and reject any appeal on Simpkin . Can understand a certain criteria appraisal initially on Simpkin but not now the other considerations have come into play Froggy is hardly going to be ready to go and not even sure if Grody is...- manly al

2026 recruitment & retention
Not too sure whether Garner would serve much purpose trying to bring in now , Certainly a couple of seasons ago but Burbo is more then holding his own now to complement Ola, Waddell going quite well and maybe one or two up and comer edge players on the Manly top 30 scene soon . Not sure if he...- manly al

Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Very winnable game but still a bit of the toss of the coin when momentum shifts are taken into account and how that may play out Going to need a fairly high completion rate again and maybe a bit of attention at trying to address that points were hard to get in the 2 nd half against the Storm ...- manly al

Jason Saab
Still more positives then not in keeping Saab in his wing role . No question Talau and Faulalo have got quite a bit going for them as well but not that certain type of X factor that Saab can provide all things normal- manly al

Siosiua Taukeiaho
Definitely has been one of the most consistent performers this season with his all round input and his experience factor can not be downplayed as well . Would expect every effort to keep him on for 26 . Throw in Ola and Paseka if he can somehow be available and match ready in a possible final...- manly al

Game Day: Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]
Found it hard to handle their style of play in that earlier season game at Brookie and did not help with Manly being quite a bit off their game attacking wise also . Even without Ola , do or should have the means to do better then that earlier season effort , just being able to keep it up for...- manly al

Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?
That is surprising but can only say that in the critical or vital missed tackle category , Manly would not be faring that well there . Especially against some of the lesser rated or lower positioned line ups- manly al
