    Trump

    Not if he is intent on an Iranian regime change and as desirable as that may be . Would just create a middle east powder keg let alone the critical shipping lanes around that region being severely compromised . Price of. crude oil spiked a bit recently but would go out of control if any...

    Poll can you trust bloody humans?

    Tend to think that the majority of people and over time would instinctively wish to help some else in a desperate or dire survival situation , at least initially . Then maybe if an individual "s own survival chances were being reduced to almost nothing on trying to help , their own survival...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Thought it could be an opportune time for Patolo to show that he is just about up to i st grade level but does not look like it was that evident with this recent N S W cup game . Ditto with Scoupp . Looks like Matterson and James are well down the pecking order now and probably now not serving...

    [Resurrected] Josh Schuster

    Might not now be able to show his full potential and going forward and naturally every priority now should be to get his head space in a good place but can at least take some solace in a footy sense that he did early in his i st grade time with Manly , at least show that he could or was capable...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Don 't undervalue some of the good contributions that Garrick has provided as a centre and while not in the highest level of recognition , was included in that late season rep side in 24 But if there does seem a strong enough case for Turbo to try and find some worthwhile form again moving...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Very challenging week coming up , not the least being able to try and get the best competitive side available out there come Fri night and let alone actually being able to win it Big call [ well actually real big call ] with a possible switch to the centres for Turbo and Garrick logically back...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Prefer to look to the positives but looks like still some less then ideal circumstances coming up Signing Fogarty for 3 seasons which i think would have been not the preferred option by the club . Then having Walsh who may well have heaps of upside and ready for i st grade next season and able...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Still not a lot of clarity what really went on between D C E and the Manly management last year in particular . Some reports D C E wanted or asked for a release at the start of last year , other reports that Manly were having informal discussions with another contract extension late last year ...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Pont taken there . D C E is certainly not the only one underperforming right now just have to see what sort of constructive [ or otherwise ] follow up that Siebs has on this approach [ School type ] with the 7 min meetings Can 't say that i have ever been much into noodles but each to their own

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    D C E has usually needed a good structured 6 to help him to show his best form level Blake Green and Foz definitely fitted this category and D C E was the beneficiary in the main Still does not deflect from the fact that he does or has struggled on a not irregular basis at other times when the...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Maybe if D C E was regularly performing as a million dollar half , may have some credibility on any reported criticism of Siebild 's coaching approach

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I 'd certainly take Bully on a 4 year deal and on appropriate money . May not have that much ceiling left but very handy forward for a while now, still relatively young for primarily a prop and just can not beat that pace and elusiveness advantage that he does have when given the opportunity to...

    Club News 2025

    Some interesting takes on that N S W lineup Patolo ahead of James and Sykes in the pecking order so may be coming on reasonably well . Schoupp still being persevered with on an edge , . In his i st grade appearance last season as a centre , showed that he can defend a bit and not a bad direct...

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Guess the only alternative right now from most angles is to either keep Turbo at the back with Lehi coming back on the wing or trying to get some better value from Turbo and Lehi on present indications , most likely to offer quite a bit more reverting to full back again Going to mean that Rubs...

    Michael Ennis

    Not too sure if it would be the best fit for Ennis to go straight to a head coach role , maybe as an assistant but don "t really know how his general credentials or ability to improve individual players is actually rated right now . Probably in Siebs case or ongoing tenure prospects , is largely...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Has to be considered also the likes of D C E , Turbo , Jake , Brooks are taking up just over 3 . 5 mil of the cap , pretty much one third . And if not getting value for money and predominately regular below par performance outcomes or in Turbo 's case also regular non - availability, sure is...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Guess if the pressure and even necessity may occur if things can not improve even marginally with Manly stocks and indirectly Siebs , certainly is going to be an expensive pay out. Taking into account he still apparently has 2 and a half years to run on his current deal Then also still taking...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Another concern to ideally address A S A P: is the sides inability over the past couple of games to score points on a more consistent basis Had been one of the side 's genuine strengths and to often put them in game winning positions but against two of the lesser rated sides recently and...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Think that there definitely has to be some positional changes but very much doubt moving Turbo to a 6 role is going to help much . Pretty much being nullified with his attack now and at 6 , probably even more ineffectual . Plus his now almost regular susceptibility to injury and even more...

    The Haumole Bible.

    Better then out for the full season , Might be an opportunity to get rid of some niggles as well , one of the best busting forwards in the comp but not always getting the ball in optimum positions and just getting too much attention and a but hammered with the ball . Still adamant to give...
