    Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Agree. I will be pleasantly surprised if we win this one.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    The fact he's been one of our better forwards at the back end of the season shows just how bad we are. We need better players, not more of the same.

    True. But if they do go cold and pull out (apologies to my wife, by the way), he'll just spin it as it being his own decision - after long and careful thought - to retire. I want him to play for the Roosters. I want it to be a disaster. I want another fanbase to share our pain. Take our halfback...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Funny and accurate. When Cherry got dropped from Origin and said he was going to concentrate on being a good father for the rest of the year, I didn't think he meant exclusively. He's taken a gap year to work on himself so he'll be fresh for the Roosters next year. Only problem is we're still...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    In fairness, I think the only person suggesting he should graduate to football manager is Seibold himself. The idea that you can fail as a coach only to get a promotion is ludicrous.Surely not even Scott Penn is that dumb.

    Yeah. Fogarty is no game breaker - just a steady, competent half with a good kicking game and a willingness to engage the line and also to make a tackle. Sounds awesome, doesn't it?

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Exactly. It doesn't matter what he does next year, or who he does it with. The only thing that matters for Manly is that he won't be with the club, and that has to be seen as a huge positive.

    NSW Cup 2025

    I've watched him play full games for Fiji and in all his brief NRL appearances for us and I'm convinced he's got something worth developing. He has good leg speed, a low centre of gravity, and he definitely makes a dent in the line. Defensively he might have a but to learn, but the only way for...

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    Mark the Unspellable is Australian, not Kiwi. And his background is Fijian/Italian (Fijian dad, Italian mum). But yeah, that team is stacked across the park. Even given the injuries, they should have done better already this year.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    I think it's both. The journos were wrong: there is no way we were ever going to be a top four team. The idea that we had a "strong roster" was based on the assumption that we had a "superstar halfback" and a "superstar fullback" to lead us around the park, neither of which has proven to be...

    Klemmer?

    So this thread has gone from, "F#ck, no! We're signing Klemmer!" to "F#ck, no! Why aren't we signing Klemmer?" pretty quickly…

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    I said last week that the poor old Bunnies are probably the only team in the NRL currently playing worse than we are. Newcastle might also be up there. But really, I wouldn't back us against anybody at the moment.

    Fixed that for you, TE.

    See, I would argue that the Manly club has been the servant to DCE over very many seasons. But otherwise agree with everything you are saying.

    The problem

    Were any of those meetings longer or shorter than seven minutes? Because we all know that seven minutes is the optimal meeting time.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Wait, is "now" sooner than "immediately"?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    You're a brave and compassionate man, Phobia, to give Seibold another go. I think his time might be up, but I agree that the result tonight was more on the players giving the game away than on the coaching. I am hoping that the vacuum of clean, fresh air created by the departure of DCE could be...
