    Post-Game Discussion Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    So very very predictable. losing to the last placed team is of course expected. That’s our thing. Being red hot favourites and getting pumped .. ditto. Expectations for this squad are so low it’s almost hard to care. They are not playing for their captain, each other or the coach. Significant...

    First coach sacked.

    We have been capitulating for the last decade at least. What we have now is a continuation of the same, it’s not new. Poor defence, inability to defend a lead, losing to lowly placed sides, moments of greatness followed by painfully predictable incompetence. Watching the Raiders play highlights...

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    I wouldn’t worry. I can assure you Geoff Toovey was a complete ahole at school also. In fact the earlier description of Walsh fit Toovey perfectly. Suffice to say he mellowed but as an 18 year old he was not likeable.

    Strategy

    Do you ever hold the players and your beloved DCE accountable? Siebold is no Bellamy we know that. The soft underbelly of this side and inability to grind out a win goes back many years. I’d argue the chaotic on field leadership has just as much to do with it. Perhaps it’s no surprise that DCE...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Agree, it’s not losing that burns it’s the way they keep throwing games. Seriously how many people could feel a 2nd half capitulation coming before they even ran back on the field. We get run down so often it’s beyond predictable. It’s almost a surprise when we don’t. The players seem unaffected...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Yes both missed a stack of tackles

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    That frivolous kick with a minute to go in the first half wreaked of DCE arrogance. Felt like the Canberra 20 nil capitulation of last year. Another chapter of gutless stupidity from this mob. Such potential but so little heart. Absolute pretenders

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    So very predictable. Anyone read this book before. Manly out to a big lead, get cocky and wasteful and try hard to throw it away

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    From memory the Vautin v Fulton blow up was based on similar issues I.e. Bozo kept picking his fairly ordinary son to sit in the bench at the expense of better more useful players. This was talked about post GF loss in 97. In an era where no one carried a sub hooker, we were a player short with...

    Sea Eagles' Feet of Clay

    Yep don’t disagree. The owners are not blameless and our back office ain’t no Arko or Stanton. I just expect the coaching staff to impart more influence over the squad than an owner who lives in NY. We haven’t lacked talent. We’ve lacked substance and desire. Speculating obviously but I’m...

    Sea Eagles' Feet of Clay

    this constant blaming of the owners feels misplaced. They aren’t involved like Politis and I’m not sure we want them to be. Salaried staff run the joint. It’s fair to say we were always a factional mess until the Fulton influence was finally removed but surely the back office is now cohesive...

    Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Unless the owner chooses the players, coaches the players and has a run himself I’m not sure what you want him to do. This mess is a decade in the making. Mostly caused by Terrible recruitment decisions. Some ****e coaching hasn’t helped

    Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Losing to the last placed side. Seriously is anyone surprised.

    What’s really killing our 2025 season?

    Before you get to our lack of grunt in the front row, compare our extended spine vs the better sides - A one legged turbo A disengaged and erratic captain An extraordinarily slow and non threatening lock A non creative hooker. The loyalty shown to Jake and Crocker is admirable but the lack of...

    No Heart

    Whilst the execution was clearly down it’s the sloth like hit ups, zero aggression and passive defensive line that spells long term trouble. Mainly because our forward pack doesn’t have any more to give. What we have now is the same for next year. Who on earth is inspired by that.

    No end in sight

    And the next couple I’d say as well. Tragic to think of the talent we’ve squandered in the last decade with nothing to show for it.

    Caleb Navale

    Reminds me of a young Owen Cunningham. He looks busy and capable

    The Jazz thread ... all that Jazz

    Agree his leg speed and post contact mtrs made a massive difference in getting a roll on. I seriously hope they keep him in that role for and don’t revert back to 80 mins of jake

    Manly Needs a Full Reset

    I guess we’ll know more when the contracts of Jake, toff, lodge, brown, Jazz, James, Waddell, Taukeiaho etc expire. If we persist with this lumbering, slow paced forward pack they either have no better options or no idea.

    The Elephant in the room

    On the proviso they have a plan I’d rather they spend 1 or 2 years at the bottom of the table than continue this charade of weapons and premiership windows. We are so far off it’s embarrassing. Stop overpaying local juniors for fear of fan backlash. Be respectful but hard nosed. Think Bellamy...
