    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Yeah, he went out of his way to lay into him.

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Every game this round was blighted by players staying down when clipped over the head. It’s now an epidemic. Bloody embarrassing. And the fox commentators went out of their way to congratulate Jayden Campbell for not staying down when he could have, and that would have won that game. It’s a...

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Not sure why people thought da Silva was our messiah. Bog average if you ask me.

    Manly Attacking Formula ?

    The whole team is too sideways, including the halves. If the halves don’t engage the line, you need a real threat from hooker and/or a ball playing 14, like we used to have (Dylan Walker). Just throwing it wide and expecting TT to do the rest was all well and good in 2021, but hasn’t worked for...

    Manly and the Top 8

    It should be “will” rather than “can” as the answer to the second must always be yes, until such time as mathematically we can’t. Not too sure what the poll answers will prove, other than whether or not we know our maths.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Umm, so why did we recruit them in the first place? The game going “uptempo” certainly pre-dates just about all of this lot.

    NSW Cup 2025

    Agreed, or if he’d sacked DCE as captain when he publicly shat on the club.

    NSW Cup 2025

    I don’t think it’s a head scratcher at all. The coach lacks the authority which comes from a proven track record of success, and is therefore beholden to the existing playing group. He knows his job depends on it.

    Decision makers

    Maybe he was invited to dinner by Albo to discuss the NYC mayoral race.

    Manly Attacking Formula ?

    Unfortunately, today’s version of Rugby League bears little resemblance to the game those great players played. Today’s version is a series of formulaic, percentage based patterns that all teams use to greater or lesser effect, depending upon their ability to manage/control ruck speed through...

    Trump

    Genuine and justified.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Seibs would make a good under 10s coach. Everyone gets a pat on the back for trying, so proud of all of you, sometimes the other team is just better than us, now let’s head down to macdonalds for a soft serve, my shout.

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Yep, no real weaknesses across the park. Plus X factor with that winger nawaqwhatever. Think they can go deep in the finals.

    Forward pass in that try

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Come on mate, there are several NRLW teams we could probably beat. Once we get some players back.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    He won’t even apply for one. He’s already said he doesn’t want to be a coach after this stint. We can look forward to him being our next CEO/Head of Football, when we will be well and truly ****ed.

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    That’s why I hate watching them. They have taken league to its cynical extreme under the current rules. Very effective, but boring as all hell, if you ask me.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    So much for the “results driven business” we were when Des got shafted. Now we are an “excuse driven business” where it is good enough to compete “on our day”.

    Egrets, I've had a few...(musings and some pics)

    Wooden spoon?

    The problem

    Hopefully that’s true - presumably the termination clause is triggered by missing the finals - otherwise it isn’t much of a contract if we can simply pay the balance of the current year only.
