    Game Day: Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Picking this early - raiders by 12. They look far more dangerous

    Game Day: Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Stop giving the ball to Jake. Just a waste of a tackle

    Line speed and ruck area

    You can see the dogs rushing up in defence, stifling our attack, making us go sideways etc. we like to play pretty and hope the opposition lets us. Fast mobile defenders like dogs, sharks, storm will make us look pedestrian. Sadly we are. There is little line or leg speed. We need a watmough...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    No argument but with so much money tied up in Jake Tom and DCE we have a too many average players. The balance isn’t right. We lack workers and pure defensive grit. Our forward pack hamole aside is not scaring anyone. Our centres are not lyons and matai. Ie we have f”all weapons when the going...

    Loyal because he was paid $1.2 million to stay

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Totally agree, we need more grit not attacking “weapons”. Bashing up crap teams is good for morale but no substitute for having the will to defend mistakes and apply pressure without the ball. DCE is a great but is not worth weakening the teams rebuild by extending too far.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    What a surprise DCE yet again turning his contract extension into a circus. The club should pay only what it can afford especially if that means securing young talent. We are not winning the comp with this squad that is obvious. Too much money invested in Jake and some weaknesses in key...

    The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

    Manly simply carry too many average players in key positions. Our lack of a creative hooker has killed us for too long. Jake god love him is so slow and now a borderline liability. If he wasn’t a local junior I wonder if he’d hold down a spot. Ben is faster but just as ineffective. With a...

    The ruck interpretation kills us

    He always does, his lack of pace isn’t just with the ball

    Consistency

    They don’t have the stomach for tough matches. Great at touch footy but so little backbone when it gets hard

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    The biggest pretenders in the comp yet again. Only come to life when it’s easy. Imagine our bunch of softies against the hungry bulldogs defence. We won’t score a point. Give me a team of grafters over this crap any day

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    And that’s probably where they end up. We get conned every year

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    Only if the other sides don’t turn up. Rarely do we win an arm wrestle

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    It’s always one of those games when the other side makes us work. We don’t like it

    Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    When manly get praised and go in as favourites you can almost guarantee a stinker the following week. It is so predictable been going on for a decade. We haven’t changed sadly. Does make u wonder why they can’t see it coming when most supporters can

    Burbo to lock?

    Honestly if he had a different surname he would be a fringe 1st grader at best. Lawton had his measure last year and he was a hooker / utility. Lacks the power, aggression or creativity of the better forwards. Needs to offer more imo

    The old warhorse

    No one denies that JT is a very decent man and also a passionate manly man. The issue is the $ the club had allocated to him vs the return. We can’t be adding a 15% local junior loading to these guys. If he was a parra junior and not as affable we’d be screaming the house down at the value...

    So far off the pace

    But what about 2022. Hasler was no messiah. He oversaw some shocking performances

    Bring on the Bulldogs! Wherever that may be.

    I can accept not winning but this manly side can’t even guarantee they will turn up mentally or physically. It’s almost a surprise when they look focused and energetic. Dogs too hungry, manly too soft
  20. B

    Bring on the Bulldogs! Wherever that may be.

    Whilst we persevere with the games slowest least creative hooker and the games slowest least creative lock we are always doing it tough against sides that play with speed. Manly are a little one dimensional. There is no plan b and plan an only works when the opposition lets us play.
