    2026 recruitment & retention

    First priority - secure a competitive dummy-half - otherwise same result next year

    One worries about Manly's management of players. Our depth is terrible - the worst in the League?? with a laughable reserve grade side. And what about the loss of talent such as with Humphries and the Fainu boys with whom so much time, effort and finance has been squandered??

    Next season - should Croker be retained - Manly will remain uncompetitive with most sides.

    Certainly looks to be a "good'un". Has the size to perhaps fit in at centre or full-back. One proviso about those videos - the defences involved were very poor.

    If you could add one player to our roster . . .

    No Brainer - Harry Grant.

    What benefit would there be by retaining Croker?? As a measure of his ability/effectiveness - would he be selected in any other NRL side?

    [Resurrected] Lachlan Croker

    The dummy-half position at Manly has become FARCICAL. It is glaringly obvious that Croker's very one dimensional play is beyond inadequate, and I believe that inadequacy has been dragging the team down. If this particular situation is replicated next year we will see the same mediocre endings...

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    Realise that Mark, but both possible movements are VERY unsatisfactory.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Finals Week 1, 2024]

    Croker still there ( what does he have to do to get dropped?). No back-up back, no back-up dummy half. Siebold courting disaster.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

    Agree about the dummy-half situation. Manly will continue to NOT progress whilst it continues to stick with Croker - who is the least effective dummy-half, (which arguably is the most important position within an NRL side), in the competition. I am now of the view he actually holds the team...

    Seibs Going Right Off at Presser.

    When will Manly accept the fact that Croker is completely inadequate at dummy-half. Lacks speed and any suggestion of evasiveness. Service is also far to predictable. On balance is marked negative for Manly.

    Probably has as much physicality as young Hopoate - and he seems to survive OK. If he has sufficient speed he should do OK - as he seems to be a good footballer..

    Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Dont agree - he offers nothing in the way of speed, deception and good passing.

    Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Of course he is a goer, but in reality he is the least effective dummy-half in the comp.

    MVP: Rd 26 v Bulldogs

    Just imagine how good Manly could be with a top class dummy-half!

    Turbo good to go

    Burbo??????? No,no,no,no!

    Just a thought - key ingredient missing

    IMO we lack, desperately, an effective dummy-half. Really Croker offers very little - has absolutely no running game (therefore no deception) and his service is mediocre. Chan Tong is promising but at this stage not good enough. But time to stop wasting time with Croker.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Warriors [Round 24, 2024]

    Sure is. His drivel plus the stupid music spoils the occasion.

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2024]

    Once again team selected without a backline player on the bench. IMO stupid policy.

    But definitely NOT as a centre!
