    Tom and Jake

    700k extension (2 years with club option) for Tom is reasonable for all parties considering his past and most likely continuing injury issues. No other club will pay more for such a high risk investment at his age and with his history, despite his obviously outstanding potential. Jake should...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Why is it all or nothing? Who cares if they only play a handful of games in their debut year? That in itself is the duty of care shown by the club. It's supposed to be a gradual process. But the point is that they get the opportunity to debut as young as possible if they're good enough

    NSW Cup 2025

    Who is calling for 25+ weekends in a year? We're talking about a debut. Real game experience that should be offered gradually - if they're good enough. 19 year olds go to war. It's really not that big of a deal for a 25yr old to run at a 19yr old

    NSW Cup 2025

    Bollocks. There is plenty of benefit, both to the individual as well as the team! 19 is more than old enough if you're good enough, as evidenced by the countless 19yr old forwards that have historically debuted. Having the majority of your pack at 19 years of age is a different story obviously...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Being reported that Cowboys and Eels interested. No mention of Manly, which obviously doesn't surprise

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The quality wingers and centres generally hit their straps quite early on as their speed and athleticism is at peak performance in the early 20s. Those with more power generally still valuable as their bodies mature in terms of yardage gains, with some even moving into the forwards. Saab, at...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Hart is actually the one I am most excited about

    [Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?

    Have to agree with this. Plus there is also the "salary cap" vs rich clubs being 'creative' in attracting the best possible line ups

    The Timeline of the 2025 Collapse

    Great post @Phobia My favourite part is the writing in bold "He's [DCE] just stupid" as verified by credible media reports lol

    DCE 350

    I have been an outspoken DCE "hater"/critic for many years, but booing, or even turning my back in silence, is just not something I would ever do. We are still all human at the end of the day, and whilst I can't wait for him to leave Manly, this would be a piss poor way of sending off any...

    2026 ( the Nostradamus thread )

    I think Muagututia is still on Development for 2026, not top 30. He, Hart, Pua’avase, and possibly Baruani are the 4 Development Contracts so far for 2026 Also, Onitoni Large comes into our 30 next year. And Lodge has a 30 spot if he wants it. If Croker, Aloiai play on, should be 24 confirmed...

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    Manly have got to be the most poorly managed football club in the country. Even with all the rainbow jerseys, erratic contract negotiations, and player unrest in the world, a strong CEO and Head Coach should always keep the ship from sinking! Regardless of ownership, management has been an...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Fermor is almost Origin quality so yeah obviously he is a better player currently. But still strongly believe Ben is not slow nor cumbersome and is a quality player still improving his game. In a Panthers or Storm system, he wouldn't take long to fit right in

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Ben is one of the few players putting in, developing nicely, and would still be an asset in any of the best teams in the comp - watch him closely and he's doing a lot right, and getting increasingly imposing. Still a way to go, but a good player. He, Haumole, Tolu, Rubes (wing), Nella, and...

    DCE 350

    I have a suspicion that he was feeling a little overly confident in his own form after a decent first month of results. Smirking his way through his TV appearance, assuming he would be the in-demand halfback of the NRL and Captain of QLD by season's end. Maybe now he understands that it was...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Insightful commentary @SeaEagleRock8 We, the fans, are the horde. Unruly and ruthless in our illogical and primal dedication to our club. At the same time, we indirectly pay the players for our entertainment. If DCE truly understood what it's really all about, he would have considered the...

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    Yeah upon much thought on this lately, I feel Manly will be in a much stronger position moving forward if 2026 is both Jake and Tom's final year. They should be parachuted into our coaching and pathways department where they would be invaluable to the club for many many years to come. But...

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    I love the words "power" brokers in the same sentence as "Manly". Oxymoron of the year

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Gobsmacked that he was given the head coach job after Hasler. Even more so at the level of belief in him held by the fans. Unfortunately we have only ourselves to blame (apart from he who shall not be named)

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Agreed. We can all fantasise about dropping him for this week, but the fact is, the damage has been done, and the only outcome would be for Manly to be seen as an even more petty and unprofessional organisation to any potential recruits and their families in the future. I think this is why he...
