Post-Game Discussion Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]
Agreed. What an absolutely woeful game of rugby league. Pretty fitting end, really, given the crap we have dished up this season. Kinda bizarre that Seibold finally blows up in the coach's box after watching our repeat offender clowns do everything in their power to throw another game away. He...- Ron E. Gibbs

Game Day: Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]
I have complained for years that watching Cherry is sometimes like watching someone who has never seen a football of any kind before, let alone played a game of rugby league. And the way he gazed up at that ball hanging in the air from the kickoff, then took a few hesitant steps towards it to...- Ron E. Gibbs

Game Day: Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]
Would you say it's another "free throw at the stumps"? [I'm still not over that game we gave away against the Rabbits last year.]- Ron E. Gibbs

Sack Seibold Immediately
So are we at the point now where we simply have to accept that Seibold has a job for life at Manly, but with only one more year as the coach? And that he'll have a hand in picking his successor? That he will be paid to do a job he doesn't really want to do for another year, while simultaneously...- Ron E. Gibbs

Game Day: Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]
I am excited to see Walsh debut, even if he only gets 10 minutes. I do like the symbolism of he and Cherry playing one game together before the old bloke f#cks off to the Far East(ern suburbs), but mostly it's because watching some of our younger players develop has been about the only joy Manly...- Ron E.

All NRL Games [Round 27, 2025)
My theory that no team beaten by Manly this year will be good enough to win the comp is looking pretty good right now. (Except that the Donkeys also fall into that category, but their comeuppance will surely come as well.)- Ron E. Gibbs

Aloiai Gone
Has it really been five years? Feels like he's played about 15 games for us in that entire period. Unavailability has been his main problem. Injuries, particularly that troublesome shoulder, have killed his career. He's like the forward version of Tom, only nowhere near as good - although the...- Ron E. Gibbs

Joey Walsh
Yeah, I remember when you first mentioned this. All I can say is, he's a kid. Like, literally not far removed from being a child. He can grow up. I'm sure there were plenty of us who had tickets on ourselves when we were younger who have been battered into submission and better behaviour as...- Ron E. Gibbs

NSW Cup 2025
What I liked most about the highlights was how pissed off with himself he looked when he missed a tackle on a rampaging second rower close to the line. The defensive line was a shambles, so he didn't really have much hope of making the tackle, but figured it's a good sign that he expected to...- Ron E. Gibbs

DCE Memories
Some incredible highlights in your selections, Phobia. Great to watch those again. And you make a good point about just how long DCE has been the Manly half. Younger Manly fans, like my kids, have never known anyone else.- Ron E. Gibbs

NSW Cup 2025
Yeah, the team's form really picked up when the old blokes got bumped into the NRL team and the young guys (Walsh especially) came in. Great to see.- Ron E. Gibbs

Tof Sipley
Yeah, posted this in the post-match thread, but I reckon he knew he was playing his last minutes in a Manly jersey when he came back on, which is why he played so hard. Full credit to him, but it's a real shame he won't get to go out with one last game at Brookvale. I've always had a a soft...- Ron E. Gibbs

DCE Memories
I was going tom post the same moment, even though it's really a Snake highlight. But that's the thing with Cherry - I can't really remember too many moments of individual brilliance. He has always been a great support player, always in the right spot at the right time, a great one for a 40/20 or...- Ron E. Gibbs

Post-Game Discussion Dragons V Manly [Round 26, 2025]
Yeah, it's definitely "on-brand" for Sips. I reckon that's why he played so hard when he came back on: he knew they'd be his last minutes in a Manly jersey. I'll be sad to see him go. Always seemed like a terrific clubman.- Ron E. Gibbs

Aaron Schoupp
Seems like we've been developing him to cover centre and back row. If he can do that, and he's cheap, I can't see why we wouldn't want to keep him around. He's shown he can be a solid NRL player at both the Titans and the Dogs and seems like a good fit with the rest of the squad.- Ron E. Gibbs

Sack Seibold Immediately
The problem being we just don't do anything comfortably. Even if we'd had all our first-choice players available, DCE's giant "F#ck You" to the club after round three was always going to be hard to get over. And even without that, I'm confident we would have found another way - perhaps several...- Ron E. Gibbs

Burbo
He hasn't made quite as big a jump as Koula, but he's definitely shown a lot of improvement this year. He's also been our most consistent Trbojevic. One of the few bright spots in another dud year.- Ron E. Gibbs
