MVP: R 26 v Dragons
3. TKO. Just been impressed with him all year, especially his ability to play big minutes. I wish all our over-the-hill players gave as much as he did. 2. Waddell. Try-scoring machine, plenty of metres. 1. Navale. He lifts the tempo with his runs and play-the-balls. First try in the NRL, too. I...- Ron E. Gibbs

Caleb Navale
Nice to see him get his first try in the top grade. Even better to see him running hard and straight and getting fast play-the-balls. Here's hoping he's a regular next season.- Ron E. Gibbs

Who will win the comp
I mean, we beat the Storm. The Roosters thumped them last night. They are beatable. And punchable, almost to a man. I will stand by my methodology: if you are not capable of beating Manly every time you play them, you are not capable of winning the grand final. Manly suck. If they beat you, you...- Ron E. Gibbs

Who will win the comp
I am going to say that any team that has been beaten by Manly in any game of rugby league this season simply cannot be good enough to win the comp. So that knocks out the Raiders, Storm, Broncos and Panthers. We'll see about the Warriors next week. That would leave the Dogs, Sharks and Roosters...- Ron E. Gibbs

Once he's finally gone and confirmed at the Roosters, can we change the name of this thread to "Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson" and only refer to Cherry as "Mrs. Robinson" from then on? Asking for a friend.- Ron E. Gibbs

The Cheese ... allegedly charged
Queensland courts don't accept that defence. If they did, they'd have to acquit everybody who grew up in the Sunshine State.- Ron E. Gibbs

How many wins to make the 8?
Agreed. While it is possible that the Roosters will lose both their remaining games (please, Footy Gods, make it happen!), the chances of us winning three in a row again - no matter who we're playing - are not high. If we can't do it, I'd like to see the Dolphins get there - anybody but the...- Ron E. Gibbs

Des Hasler Sacked ( AGAIN)
Those performance clauses might not stop Des from engaging the lawyers. He always feels hard done by, and he loves a legal stoush. I joked months ago that he'd probably sue the Titans players, starting with Fifita, for being sh#thouse and thereby stopping him from meeting his coaching KPIs. He...- Ron E. Gibbs

Des Hasler Sacked ( AGAIN)
We're all still scarred by the Barrett experience (as are the Dogs and Eels), but that doesn't mean all rookie coaches are going to suck. At the time it felt like Barrett concentrated more on his "Best Young Coach in the Game" PR push, aided by Gus Gould, than he did on actually learning how to...- Ron E. Gibbs

Kid's a genuine footy player, alright. Really impressive the way he takes on the line. Fingers crossed he continues to develop well.- Ron E. Gibbs

All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]
I'll see the Knights debacle and raise you the Dragons at Brookvale, or Cronulla in Perth. Opponents played pretty much their worst football in both games, yet we still managed to be worse and lose. So many opportunities missed. Same old, same old.- Ron E. Gibbs

All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]
Wow. That was fun. I particularly liked the journo telling Des how embarrassing it was that everyone in the crowd was cheering for the Warriors. And what was Des doing picking at that scar on his forearm at the start of the presser? Has he been self-harming?- Ron E. Gibbs

How do we unlock Koula?
Biggest positive of the season has been Koula turning into the player we always hoped he could be. He's been great. Long may it continue.- Ron E. Gibbs

The Daly Cherrygraph
I will admit I don't like him. It's not that I dislike him, but I've simply never taken to him as a player. There's never been any emotional connection between him as a player and me as a fan. Probably more on me than it is on him. And I have never begrudged him his salary. What Manly have paid...- Ron E. Gibbs

The Daly Cherrygraph
Interesting "What Ifs", MadMarcus. I'm not sure about Hodkinson. I think he was preferred (by Des) over Cherry and was then poached by the Bulldogs, which is why DCE eventually got his shot. But I also wonder how DCE's career would have played out if he'd never made the top grade here. He...- Ron E. Gibbs
