    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2025]

    That's hilarious. Your team is running first and you're worried about a basket case of a club like Manly? Although it's good to know that all sporting forums are filled with cranky pessimistic old f#cks and it's not just us:-)

    November Targets

    He's saving himself for his new employers. Which I guess shows he's loyal to something, just not to this club. Can't wait for his tell-all interview in 2026. No doubt it will feature the quote, "What did Manly ever do for me?"

    Club News 2025

    Awesome! Another jersey our lacklustre bunch of busted ars#holes can disgrace! Although I guess we should be grateful they've all agreed to wear it. (But really, it's a nice-looking jersey. Really like that design.)

    Manly Coach 2026 is...

    Given Willie Peters was essentially bullied out of the club on T-Baz's watch, why would he want to come anywhere near us?

    Aloiai Gone

    Years ago, before he went to the Knights, I thought Klemmer might have been a good buy for us, but now? I mean, this has to be a piss-take, doesn't it?

    2026 recruitment & retention

    That world is called "The Manly Way". We only sign decent NRL players when they're at least five years past their prime. Looks like the old recruitment strategy is back in: Step 1. Find the bottom of the NRL player market barrel. Step 2. Scrape it. Of course, that's only after we exhaust our...

    And Des. He loves a law suit, although he usually prefers to instigate them.

    How many wins to make the 8?

    I mean, we're closing in on 15 lean years. I could cope with a couple more if there was any sense our problems were being addressed. It's the slow drift of our club to rugby league irrelevance that's killing me.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Here's another masterpiece in blowing Bob Fulton's trumpet (or just blowing Bob Fulton) by Paul Crawley in June 2017: Manly’s Bob Fulton shows how to go about an NRL rebuild RECRUITING the resurgent Akuila Uate is just one of the many smart deals Bob Fulton has done since he returned to Manly...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    You're forgetting the Great Bozo Rebuild of 2015 that accompanied the Barrett signing, which was hailed by the media as a masterstroke and delivered… sweet FA. Remember this, from December, 2015? How Dylan Walker signing completed Bob Fulton’s incredible overhaul of Manly Sea Eagles by Ben...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I think it's just out of frustration and hope. We don't see much hope in the team or our current recruitment "strategy", so we have to find it somewhere. Also, speaking personally, I really dislike Scott Penn's face.

    LOL @ Tigers

    I actually think the Tigers' roster is much better than ours. They have an excellent hooker, an excellent half, and some quality young players across the park. Honestly, I also think they have a better roster than the Bulldogs, at least on paper. Just goes to show you that the roster isn't...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Did somebody say "easy option"? SOLD! Seriously, our owners/management are just like our team in this regard: always looking for the quick fix/easy out. There is zero commitment to a plan or long-term vision.

    Jake T.

    Hard decisions need to be made, and somebody needs to make them. But as @Frogz says, Penn has had his head stuck in the sand (or elsewhere) since his Uncle Zorba dragged him into the club. The Penns got lucky when they bought into the team, and it seems like they took it for granted that success...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    And that's pretty much it in a nutshell. In the 10 years since he backflipped on the Titans, the only thing he has won (outside of State of Origin and other rep duties) is a Clive Churchill medal in a grand final we lost, and he was lucky to get that. I get why we were desperate to re-sign him...

    3,2,1 Round 22

    3. TKO. Made good metres and plenty of tackles, in those conditions. 2. Jazz. Sorry that had to be his last game for us. 1. Burbo. Looked like he was up for the fight before he was knocked out of the game, which is more than can be said for the rest of them.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Yeah, the idea that moving Tom back to fullback will magically fix all our problems can be put to bed now. Seriously, it doesn't matter who we have back there - Lehi, Koula or Tom - when the rest of the team is completely disinterested in winning games of rugby league.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Yeah, those of you who braved those conditions deserved way more in the way of entertainment than what you got. Unless you've got a kink for disinterested footballers in decline, there was nothing out there to get excited about.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

    Cherry moving on has to be the start of something, but he shouldn't be the only domino to fall. Our forwards are largely useless, we still don't have a hooker, or more than two players capable of playing in the back row, etc, etc, etc. That was just woeful. We've scored eight points in two...
