    Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Yeah, that was the really disappointing part. The Tigers did not play well and would have been beaten by any half-competent NRL team. Sadly, we are not a half-competent NRL team. And it's been that way all year.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Again, I don't know that anyone had "blind faith", or any faith, in Seibold when he was appointed as our coach. It was an odd choice from the get-go - I mean, he was a rugby league punchline for years and it was always going to be a risk. But he was given the job and we had to hope for the best...

    DCE 350

    It's definitely going to be interesting. Wish I was an impartial observer - it'd probably be hilarious.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    That may be true, but what about our playing group? Are they equipped to deal with adversity? DCE doesn't like the coach and wants to leave? Fair enough, but do it without trying to drag the club down with you, and maybe try to play like an NRL-standard halfback while you're still here. Jake...

    New run out song for Manly?

    "Gay Bar" by Electric Six. Mostly because it's a genuine banger.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    No source other than DCE's sly little announcement, I think. People were always going to take "I'll play for anyone next year but Manly" as a crack at the Manly coach and organisation. Seems to have become accepted wisdom from there. Oh - and he didn't invite Seibold to his wedding.

    Team next week

    I'll be saying the same thing to my wife later on tonight. At the very least, I need the distraction.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Slightly off topic, but I think this could be why he and Cherry don't get on: they're too alike. They both think they're the smartest guy in the room. And they're both wrong.

    Most underwhelming Manly EVER

    I couldn't understand that, Mr Zimmerman. I'm not sure what other people see when they watch Manly play rugby league, or whether they watch other NRL games week to week (I admit I don't watch as many as I used to, because I don't particularly enjoy this newer version of the "product", and find...

    I was wondering the very same thing.

    Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Given that nobody will have the balls to sit Cherry on the reserves bench for his farewell appearance at Brookvale (just think - the next time we get to see him at Brookvale he'll be in a Roosters jersey and nobody will have to feel bad about booing him), I'm not opposed to sitting Brooks down...

    The "Adam Bombs"! I was going to bring them up. Jye Mullane and that other bloke we got from Cronulla would have to be up there as well. But seriously, outside of Foran, who at his best was able to drag the team along through sheer force of will, has Cherry ever truly meshed with any other half?

    Manly Coach 2026 is...

    I would take Holbrook, with Ballin as an assistant.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Still think most of our players should be first out the door, but surely Seibold is pushing his way to the front of the departure lounge now.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Cherry was way more visible in the second half, and actually looked like he was trying to do something to get us back into the game. Of course none of it worked and it was all too late anyway. And yes, Brooks disappeared as well. As a halves pairing, they are not particularly good.

    Game Day: Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Even though this is going pretty much exactly as I thought it would, it's still incredibly disappointing to see the lack of basic footballing ability in this team. The missed tackles are a joke. The lack of urgency across the park is a joke. Our Invisible Man (except when he's doing something...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Well, he's getting plenty of practice playing a less dominant role for us right now. Seriously, he's like the f#cking Invisible Man out there, and the only times you do see him, he's invariably doing something to stunt the attack. I will not miss his second tackle kicks to no one dribbling over...

    DCE, broken Turbos & a coach under pressure: article

    I stand corrected. adjective 1. arousing intense distaste or disgust. 2. relating to repulsion between physical objects. 3. archaic lacking friendliness or sympathy. By every definition.

    DCE, broken Turbos & a coach under pressure: article

    Yes, but… Actually, I can't offer anything by way of rebuttal. I don't have a great feeling about today's game either, mate. The only bright side I can give you is that at least DCE won't be our problem next season. It could be the start of a new era. (Of course it probably won't be, but it...
