    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    I mean, we do have a great student of the game as our coach, and he was in the Storm system himself at one point, so if anybody can study it, surely it has to be him…

    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    Ethan Strange. That kid has been phenomenal, and totally changed the dynamic of that team. When we played the Raiders a few weeks ago, they did not play well. But Ethan Strange did, and that's all they needed. There's always been something special about him, and he's really growing into that...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Here's another sober assessment. Daly Cherry Evans' best attribute as a rugby league player has been durability. He rarely gets injured, which is a shame, because it's meant we have been subjected to more of his Jekyll and Hyde performances than we otherwise would have. He has taken plenty of...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dolphins [Round 25, 2025]

    I'm with you, eaglebuzz. If a Manly loss means the Roosters can get knocked out of the eight, I am not against it.

    The Timeline of the 2025 Collapse

    Master student of the game, huh? I just wish he was a decent coach. Remember the "Axis of Evil"? Prepare yourselves in 2026 for the "Alignment of Arseholes" (although that sounds a lot like what @Wombat64 has to do as a first step for his pre-game lube appointments).

    The Timeline of the 2025 Collapse

    Yep. Been mentioned in other threads, but I also think the timing of Dylan Brown's massive deal with the Knights had more than a little to do with Cherry's decision as well.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Too much age, not enough talent.

    And who was his best man?

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    I'm with you, mate. No need to side with one group over another. Coaches, players, administrators - they can all f#ck off.

    Mid-season Report Card

    All I know is, I'm going to need more than seven minutes for my end of season report…

    2026 recruitment & retention

    That's funny - I gert the same vibes from watching Tom. Jokes aside, I think you might be right about Ben. If he keeps getting bigger, he might end up in the middle.

    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    Makes sense. I don't like either of them.

    Pre-Game Manly V Dolphins [Round 25, 2025]

    Not to defend Siebold in any way, but this team has made a habit out of doing that to a lot of our coaches.

    Pre-Game Manly V Dolphins [Round 25, 2025]

    I still hope the Dolphins might snatch the last spot in the top eight at the expense of what's his name's Roosters, so I'm not sure I'll even be that happy if we somehow jag a win.

    Jake T.

    What a coincidence! Judging by the way they've been playing, I'm pretty sure our current 17 are also not interested in going through the motions again this season either.

    DCE 350

    True. But I still want him to be somebody else's problem, specifically the Roosters'.

    DCE 350

    Funny, whether we win or lose against the Dolphins (and they have more injured players than we do, so there's a chance they could let us get the win), it will be emblematic of Cherry's tenure at Manly. If we get beaten, it will add to his tally as one of the biggest losers in NRL history. Only...

    Most underwhelming Manly EVER

    Yikes. Worse still, I would argue the Tigers are a glammed-up us. They're the ones with the marquee signings and a sense of hope for the future. What the hell have we got?

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I'm with you, Leonard. (Except for the bit about not hating him: you're a better man than I am on that.) He's painted himself into a corner and I don't think he's going to retire. He was always going to the Roosters and that is where he will end up, even though they don't need him and their...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Not necessarily. Saying somebody was best man at somebody else's wedding is not a defamatory imputation, and Mestrov and/or Seibold may have thought it was so trivial they didn't bother bringing it up. I mean, really? We're checking wedding invitation lists in rugby league now? Also...
