    Joey Walsh

    I really hope he's abandoned his God complex, because one of these Warriors players will probably be out to fold him. That complex will hinder his development. As I suspect he'll be here for a very long time, I want to see him develop well for the team's sake, even if I really don't like the...

    Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]

    I don't want Paseka to play, but I imagine he'd have one eye on representing Tonga again, and thus will want to play. Unfortunately for Tonga, they'll certainly miss Haumole, and possibly Koula too. Koula might return from injury right as the internationals begin, however. We have quite a few...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Would be a great signing. We need workhorses, he fits the mould exactly. I don't think there's anyone better who could've replaced Aloiai. Apparently Mooney was on $600k, so he'd have to take a pay cut to come here. Hetherington has a lot of potential, and has a good work ethic. Theoretical...

    Caleb Navale

    Not saying Navale is worse than Aaron Woods in any way, but saying he should've been playing NRL in the place of Woods in 2023, when Navale hadn't even played NSW Cup at that point, is a massive stretch.

    Tommy Talau

    A little interesting titbit about this proposal. Talau did an interview with Andy Raymond last year, and Andy brought up this option, saying Talau has the size for the backrow. Talau said that he'd prefer to continue playing in the centres or on the wing, while he still has the speed for it...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I largely agree, but there's a catch. I do think Waddell has something to offer, but only in the middle. He's had a few good games there this year. He's not exceptional at the defensive contact, but he has a motor on him that is excellent for a bench lock/prop role. If he's in and out of the...

    Tommy Talau

    He was named on the wing, with Karl Lawton named as halfback. It was the most baffling team list ever, basically no one was in their named position. Actually, I disagree on this. His bomb kicking was pretty dreadful, but he was our only source of spark for that entire game. He was having a good...

    Positive suggestions for the club going forward

    Won't Mestrov be holding the Football Club AGM at some point towards the back end of the year? I need to become a member at some point, but if anyone is planning on attending this AGM, raising a few of these constructive suggestions to Mestrov, may bring about some change. Keep the requests...

    Lehi Hopoate

    In case any of you are interested, these guys, The RL Eye Test, and the Maroon Observer (unfortunately of the Queensland variety), do some incredible data analysis for the NRL. They've teamed up to predict the Dally M medal winner based upon their data analysis methods. It's a good read...

    DCE Memories

    I think there was also a brilliant one that year against the Broncos as well, bounced off the ground after travelling a bloody long distance. That was an incredible year to watch. Even if we didn't get the premiership, everything went our way. Nearly every 1% opportunity paid off. Turbo and DCE...

    DCE Memories

    It's so disappointing that it ended this way... Quite a bit of sadness but also anger, especially when you remember it all. I'm on the younger side (probably a massive outlier compared to the lot of you) so I remember a bit of Orford, but for nearly as long as I can truly remember, DCE has been...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Ignore the rose tinted glasses, from the collective imprisonment of having Croker as our only hooker for the past four years... What does Simpkin bring to the table? He runs occasionally, and often these runs are pretty good. Is he deceptive? No. Does he dominate tackles? No. Does he offer...

    Tommy Talau

    Missed tackles on their own are not indicative of anything. I noted two of the occasions where Brooks missed a tackle, as I knew it would be brought up here post-game. This "missed" tackle, would be an ankle grab, or a lifting motion, that stops that defender in their tracks. Because Brooks or...

    Caleb Navale

    There's no point in persisting with Jazz next week... I'd give him the starting 13, and see what he can do. He is no game breaker, but this is a good thing IMO. These players shouldn't cost a lot, but offer consistent performances, like the ones Navale has been putting out. This leaves some...

    Game Day: Dragons V Manly [Round 26, 2025]

    THE GOAT 🐐 GETS A DOUBLE!!!

    Kelma Tuilagi

    iirc the Kelma vs Waddell argument is quite fruitless, because Scott Fulton decided that Kelma was worth ~$600k... Undoubtedly Waddell is on quite a bit less. That said, I would say Waddell is a better defender, purely because he puts in marginally more effort. Though this is like prefering to...

    Kelma Tuilagi

    I cannot believe it's gotten to the point where Seibold is the reason this guy was crap, and that he's actually good because Moses gave him a good ball. That's outrageous lol. Like, are you kidding? Look at all the comments on here from 2023. He's been absolutely rubbish defensively for a long...

    How many wins to make the 8?

    We are gone... Blah blah for and against, nah we're out of it. Hopefully this results in some changes. WTF is the point of playing Sipley. What exactly does he do for us?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I don't think it's any assurance that Seibold isn't sacked before the end of the year. I don't think it was ever going to happen prior to Round 27 because $$$. From a neutral perspective, it would be incredibly fruitless, especially that we're still in finals contention. What if Penn went out...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Also has the most touches per game of any player in the game. iirc, this has been consistent for many years now. He's by far, the most influential part of this team. He has three or four touches every single set. Whatever occurs, it'll be the biggest change to our structure since Foran left...
