    2026 recruitment & retention

    Preceded by a long and uninspiring off season.

    All NRL Games [Round 24, 2025]

    Not sure it’s so much a quality issue as it is a planned tactic. We aim to just hand it back as close to the try line as possible without the risk of a 7 tackle set. Which seems odd given Saabs height should be a definite attacking threat, which is what storm are doing with Coates. A positive...

    Yep, I imagine the extra 2 years were on similar terms to the first 8.

    I miss those CocoJoy jerseys……said no one ever. Did we ever get any money out of that deal?

    Storm on the back of 3 Xavier Coates penalty tries.

    If Penn is the tight arse everyone thinks he is, our next coach will be a punt whoever it is. We are not going to get a Cleary/Bellamy type. If we are going to take a punt, I say take it on someone who has some passion for the club. I’d rather lose with some passion/ fire than lose with...

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

    Waddell is a classic moneyball signing. I don’t mind him. Does a job for what he earns. Will never win you a game, but wont lose you many either. Not sure Navale has been knocking the door down, but has earnt his chance. Let’s see what he can do on longer minutes.

    I don’t believe all that conspiracy nonsense. Read an interesting book a few years back on Apollo 8 - first flight to orbit the moon. Lowell was on that flight as well as 13. Fascinating stuff. Those astronauts were legends.

    Fair enough. I just think our chances of getting a top line experienced coach are negligible. As I have said elsewhere, the only way Manly can compete is to go back to Manly DNA and go from there. That means having people in the place with passion, it means investing in our juniors and pathways...

    As opposed to the top line talent our current coach has attracted to the club? And who gives a rats about the media? Ballin has served his apprenticeship.

    Tom Trbojevic was a Legend

    I suspect the speed is still there, but he is mentally scarred by previous injuries and doesn’t want to risk another hammy, so is holding back. Probably understandable, given another bad injury would likely be career ending. Still a very good first grader, but nowhere near 2021 form. Will it...

    Exactly what we need. Winning Manly DNA.

    You are probably right, sadly.

    On recent form, toss of the coin. Hopefully Tigers will have a downer after the emotional win over the dogs. They may be flat for this one.

    Easy fix - just start a rumour. Any hope is good hope, even if it’s false. Just say it with conviction - eg “I hear from someone in the know that we are well advanced in discussions to sign player x. Announcement to come once player x has finished commitments this year - current team is already...

    Butler hasn’t exactly been a good luck charm the last few weeks, so doesn’t bode well.
