    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Agree with this. The team is very unbalanced, in terms of being overloaded with ageing players past their best, particularly in the pack. The reliance on casts offs from other clubs is really an embarrasment for the the club. A prime example of this is Corey Waddell - several years ago was...

    Recommend watch the long distance try scored by Hugo Hart (41'). Showed exceptional speed - looks a very promising prospect. Hart was a GPS Union star in Brisbane - hope the club does not lose him (ala Wright and Weekes).

    Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    No backline player on the Bench - very risky selection practice. If one of our backs goes down - e.g. Turbo or Saab, then Ben goes into centre and almost certain we lose. This has happened before - just wish Talau could be included on Bench for obvious benefits. (BTW C.B. have two players who...

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    Hope Manly has Talau on bench - just silly to go in without a reserve back.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

    Trust Talau will be added to the bench - very risky to play with no reserve back. Much better option than Waddell.

    Waddell not NRL standard. Is slow and lacks power.

    MVP: Rd 20 v Storm

    Thought Waddell was ineffectual.

    Game Day: Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    Think the announced Storm side is beatable - the Manly backline may well be able to get on top of their opposites. Forwards are a concern - particularly on the "right" side where Waddell will be posted.

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

    Hope so, but not hopeful should Waddell be playing instead. Recall all three Souths tries were scored down the Manly right side defence - and that is where Waddell was positioned! His lateral movement and agility is not athletic at all.

    Agree with this.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Together with Waddell as a starting edge forward!, hope it works out but the omens are ominous.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    With respect to the upcoming Tigers match-up - reckon Manly could well have the backline to compete well. But on the other hand it probably will be in the forwards where we will struggle, as I think the Tigers would field a more athletic and aggressive pack than ours. Will be very interesting to...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Zorba has opined the worst forward pack in over 50 years! I agree (and have been observing Manly since 1951)!

    You're not wrong, and it has all lead to in the words of the immortal ZORBA 'the worst Manly pack in over 50 years'!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Crosby is indeed a very good prospect. Was a R.U. schoolboy standout. Tackles and runs hard. Not sure whether the Warriors would let him go, but they have already resigned several of their young up and coming forwards. The very opposite to Manly.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Willett is still young and plays OK in the reserves. Looks to have some potential.

    Agree with most of this but think Ben is worthwhile persevering with as lately he has been on the improve.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Hope we never lose Koula. Puts in every week and is one of the few we have who can be a match winner.
