Sack Seibold Immediately
Yeah I noticed it hit a nerve; I’m no Seibs hater but he looked down and his eyes told a story. One thing I’m growing a bit of tired of is when we lose convincingly, he always reminds us that it ‘was a tough game’ and that the opposition are a ‘good side’. I think I don’t like it because I get...- LeonardCohen

Aloiai Gone
Stain George have been the desperados of the player market for years, signing the likes of Kyle Flanagan, Lachlan Illias, amongst other cast offs…basically, they’ve been prepared to take whatever they can get…and they don’t want David Klemmer?! Surely that speaks volumes. The other part I don’t...- LeonardCohen

November Targets
I’m glad we missed out on Josh Kerr. I think looks good at the Dolphins but he’s a good penalty and mistake magnet and that’ll rear its head again next year!- LeonardCohen

Manly Coach 2026 is...
I wouldn’t take 360 or Richie at their word; if Ennis is taking over, they’re probably under instruction to keep it hush hush…but that won’t stop them from speculating about Seibs, in order to generate a story, hence the Peters mention.- LeonardCohen

November Targets
Youth below it? Many clubs (even St George) have strong young middle prospects that get mentioned in ‘player to watch’ lists on the league websites. We might have a couple of young half prospects that get mentions, but there’s clearly a dearth of promising forwards at Manly. Also, other clubs...- LeonardCohen

Aloiai Gone
Aloiai was an amateur boxer and has never had a professional fight, so I reckon he’d struggle to give a seasoned professional like Gallen a good thumping…this is a guy that just won a fight against SBW, who most people would tip to smash Aloiai into next Tuesday. Love him or hate him, Gallen has...- LeonardCohen

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
Saab should be the first player on your list. He epitomises everything that’s bad about a Manly loss; a bit of flash followed by poor errors and a lack of footy awareness. You just know if it’s a tight game, he’s going to drop the ball in yardage, or butcher a certain try with a dodgy put down...- LeonardCohen

Manly Coach 2026 is...
My only if it’s true, is that we move the assistants on and start with a fresh football department. Dymock and Hales can go.- LeonardCohen

Trey Mooney
Trey is another who went to Westfields so maybe Hales can twist his arm…it didn’t work with Da Silva but sooner or later we’ll land a target…- LeonardCohen

Do you watch our games? He’s all at sea, unless he’s running in a straight line.- LeonardCohen

Trey Mooney
Trey has loads of talent and is a strong competitor and leader (in junior teams). I think he’d perfect. He is mobile and can generate second phase play too. I know he played edge for a long time as a junior too.- LeonardCohen

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
Yep and to be beaten all ends up by that step, followed by ‘no-one there’ is not a system error, it’s just fatigue. OK, Waddell had not long since gone on but ordinarily he should be able to cover Burton by offering him the inside shoulder, with a teammate catching for him on the inside, before...- LeonardCohen

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
I agree with most of that and it’s very astute…the only thing I would argue is the roster, i.e. don’t have better players than us’…it’s not necessarily that they’re better, but they’re definitely better equipped for the game in 2025. There’s a lot of speed across the park and it hurt us on the...- LeonardCohen

The Clean Out 2025 Edition
Of course that’s what it is. You could see the intent and effort that we put in on Sunday and lost 42-4. The sad thing is people look at that score and believe we turned it up and stopped having a dig. The reality is even sadder…we were fatigued because our opposition was so far ahead of us in...- LeonardCohen

Sack Seibold Immediately
See I actually think the problems started when we went away from the game plan and shifted when there was no opportunity. The two occasions that spring to mind were Hoppa pushing a pass for Saab (yes, there was space but no one there to catch the ball) and again pushing a pass to Koula who was...- LeonardCohen

Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
I can only speak from my own experiences coaching and/or being coached and that’s that there will always be limitations in what can and can’t be learned or taught. One could spend years ‘working’ on improving decision making but when the pressure is on in the heat of the contest, the only person...- LeonardCohen

The Daly Cherrygraph
I usually agree with most of your criticisms of DCE but those bombs are called cage kicks and they’re not always designed to be contested. The game has changed and a bomb is not always an attacking strategy, rather, a territorial tactic. The bombs are designed to land as close to try line as...- LeonardCohen

Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]
Not to be a contrary and argumentative thorn in your side, I have another take on things…not saying I’m right but… I thought he made a couple of darting runs that gave the impression he was effective, when his direction, service and defence were largely ineffective. There was a crucial period...- LeonardCohen

The Cleary Ciraldo Style
That’s not really the point though… Both players took knocks to the face and both stayed down. Just because one had a bloody gash from a stud, does not change the situation. The blow that Xerri took was clearly more forceful and he stayed face down for much longer than Simpkin, yet was able to...- LeonardCohen
