    Thanks. I’m doing my best.

    Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Was anyone listening?

    Don’t forget “Roosters are a good side.” And “It was a good test of where we are at”.

    The way forward

    And why hasn’t AI yet created a version of the 2013 GF where the roosters forward passes are called and we win? Shouldn’t be too hard.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I’m more concerned about the recruitment gurus at Manly seeing this.

    The way forward

    At the risk of being labelled a Penn fan (which I am not, just a realist), the start of that period (2015-2025) also coincided with the retirement/loss of our 2007-2013 era champions (Watmo, Stewart’s, Foran, Lyon, etc). Replacing those types of players overnight is not easy. It also coincided...

    All NRL Games [Round 24, 2025]

    True - why is it that as a team, we never seem to concentrate on the basics? All those little 1%’s add up - it’s basically how the panthers got to where they are. Drilling the basics over and over again. Half the time our lot seem like they are daydreaming rather than being fully invested in...

    The way forward

    Sorry, but I don’t buy this anti-Penn obsession some people seem to have. We have made finals under his ownership haven’t we? How did we do that? Just spit-balling here, but maybe the coach had something to do with it? Maybe having a decent coach with some clue as to managing a team and roster...

    Mad Monday

    I’m pretty sure Seibs won’t believe in mad Monday celebrations. He’ll probably take the boys back up to that new age retreat in the mountains so they can all sit around the camp fire and reflect on all the positives and proud moments from the season.

    Mad Monday

    Is that from our last grand final celebrations? I think that’s snake with his missus in the middle there.

    Agree - dragons were easily the better side. Warriors are not a top 4 side, regardless of where they are on the ladder.

    Can you ever imagine Seibold saying something like that ?

    Probably been said already, but that game just proved how much the roosters do not need DCE.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Isn’t Lodge being upgraded to top 30 next year? But agree, hard to fathom how we seem perpetually unable to free up cap space, especially when you watch teams like the bulldogs effectively turnover their entire roster in the space of a couple of years.

    Dessie by Roy Masters

    Made the finals in 2019, 2021, then had the team swiped from underneath him by the owners pride jersey fiasco. I completely discount the Gold Coast as a gauge of coaching effectiveness - a pro sport graveyard.

    The way forward

    Sack the coach, invest in Manly DNA - coaching staff, juniors, pathways. Rebuild from the ground up with a passionate, development focussed coaching team. Stop looking for a quick fix recruit until the building blocks are in place, then selective target who we need just like we did with Ben...

    Dessie by Roy Masters

    Des should still be Manly coach. “The game has passed him by” is a load of horse ****. Legend.

    Yeah, I hear we got him for a steal.

    Manly Attacking Formula ?

    Yes, I remember Keith Page. He certainly didn’t take any crap from players.

    Rest well Shaun Lane

    Thanks Manly Al. Yes, a bit older these days. If you want to call that more refined, I’ll take it. I suspect a few others on here might not agree. And yes, have been up to Hamilton a few times with the family. Always enjoyable. I envy you living up that way. Cheers
