    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    This should be pretty much week in week out. I will add to this, that when Garrick or Saab field Storm bombs in our 20m, Tom and Tolu get to dummy half on tackle 2, look to pass, deceive markers and scoot like hell. Next tackle, blind side back to wing, etc. These guys should be making...

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    I think he's helped Tolu's game progress well this season. If he continued to do just this, and not carry the team on his shoulders for wins (as we knew this was never really expected of him), then that's a contract well earned. If he complements Fogarty well for a couple more years until the...

    Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    Schoupp 18th man is interesting considering Waddell struggled laterally on his edge. Wouldn't mind seeing a more mobile option until Haumole returns

    New coach Poll

    How's Sam Burgess doing over in UK? Like the cut of his gib. Almost came to Manly as a player. Was impressed with him as assistant at Souths. High standards, tough and direct. Possibly even inspirational?

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I think it's almost common knowledge in NRL world that a rookie coach, unless exceedingly reckless with their career, is strongly advised against applying for their first head coach gig to be at Dragons, Tigers (merger politics), Titans (culture vacuum), and Manly (a.k.a. the snake pit). Only...

    The Kieran Forum

    Not surprising, considering Manly have a history of alienating their champion players when all's said and done. Since Bozo's passing, Des and the crew of 06-15 were the last 'Manly' people left. Apart from a few 'ambassadors', I think we have Choc and Ox involved to some degree but who are the...

    The Kieran Forum

    Come back to Manly Foz. We could use a champion like you mentoring and coaching. You are very much loved and respected here, and always welcome back home

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Easy to say poor selections from us fans. A lot of thought goes into tactics. Stefano, King, Young even Cleary play for winning teams, but they had poor games by their standards. A fit Luai and Mitchell normally add serious x-factor, and the best judges wouldn't criticise their selections. Does...

    Brett Stewart still involved?

    Yes! The quiet Killer. Led with action, not words.

    State of Origin, 2025.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Not trying to defend Daley or his selections, but NSW had an abundance of high quality options available to them, as they normally do. It's easy to criticise after a loss, but that was still a side of great players, almost the same side that won easily in Game 1...

    Garrick general news thread

    His time at centre has made him an even better winger than before. Our best full strength backline has him on the wing, but it's great to know he can now slot in to centre, even fullback, if needed. He's always had a great attitude, but now has the confidence to go with it. Very stoked watching...

    Kaeo Weekes

    I don't get all this Weekes chat... as if our issue is a lack of quality outside backs

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    To channel a bit of @LeonardCohen, as always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Seibold's circumstances make it difficult for any one coach to thrive in such an amateur-run organisation. But, at the same time, this means that it is even more paramount that the head coach of this proud...

    Seibold speaks ... and makes sense

    He rattles way too easily

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    By all reports 2026 now without contracts for DCE, Aloiai, Tevaga, Sipley, Schoupp, Matterson, James, GCKT, possibly Arthur, and Vaega. Maybe 3.5M? In comes Fogarty, Large, and Laifai. Maybe 1M? I'm assuming we are not spending 2.5M on upgrades, in addition to the finished Schuster payout...

    Seibold speaks ... and makes sense

    He's a bullsh*t artist. All he's ever done publicly since his Broncos tenure is make excuses, spin narrative, and over-justify his insecure position. His words no longer carry any meaning to me whatsoever. He reminds me of an insufferable politician

    The Realistic Cleanout

    With regards to Jake, I apologise for mistakenly reading the title of this thread as the "realistic" clean out. Is it realistic to think that Jake Trbojevic will be kicked out of Manly before his current deal expires? Releasing Saab may seem counter-intuitive, but if we are to recruit 2-3...

    The Realistic Cleanout

    Personally I don't feel we should be going after Da Silva. Watching Zaidas in Cup, and with the performances of Simpkin, think we will be alright at 9 provided Croker, Tevaga are not selected in this position, AND, importantly, we land the Warriors duo Fatialofa and Crosby. Both guys highly...

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Isn't it so Seibold? I'm sure he's read yet another study on why 7min is ideal when dressing down employees in the workplace blah blah blah in this month's new age psychological HR mumbo jumbo magazine. The man shouldn't be anywhere near a football team. His energies and focus have always been...
