    Tom and Jake

    I did but it had a bit of a flat track bully feel about it. I also watched (unfortunately) the losses to Dogs, Roosters, Tigers. Stand by my comment. Name me the teams/fullbacks you would swap out for Tom.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    If, and it is a big if, Bryan from Newcastle is a solid FG, Hart breaks into FG, Laifi becomes a regular top 17, Zaidas develops enough to be a good/above average 14, Paseka stays injury free, and we sign one more prop/middle of FG quality - then we have some green shoots. I know it is a lot to...

    Tom and Jake

    Based on current form I don't think anyone will be chasing them hard. Jake has seen a rapid deterioration in form but still a great club man and defender and hopefully plays out 2026. Tom unfortunately I cannot see ever getting back to his best as his body will not allow this. I am trying to...

    2025 Rumoured and confirmed signings (NON-DISCUSSION THREAD).

    Couple of rumours doing the rounds. AOB to be sacked on Thursday (Holbrook the front runner) and Jake Arthur to ESL.

    NSW Cup 2025

    I am confused. How did we get Hart? Gun union player, wanted by Rugby AUS, we only recruit old forwards, no one wants to play for us.............

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Need to extend/lock in Koula long term. Becoming elite. Still think his best position is FB along the lines of Pappy, Walsh, Weekes - electric. Imagine him bringing the ball back at speed. Bears and Rugby360 would have to be sniffing around.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Klemmer an interesting one. Initially I thought "please no". However watching a few Dragons games recently he runs straight and hard and has a very quick play the ball. A guy I work with is a Dragons member (goes to all games) and he said "Klemmer may be a bit past it but he has tightened up...

    Des Hasler Sacked ( AGAIN)

    LOL. Left Manly in a world of hurt salary cap wise, failed at the Dogs and has now been an abject failure at the Titans. Let's be serious here.

    Tom and Jake

    Hard to argue with the points raised. Last 3 weeks however has just felt a lot worse re ppg.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Easy choice however I am not sure we are even looking at these type of players. Bomb Voyage, who tipped us off about a couple of signings said things are very quiet. If we are tight on the cap then I would be prioritizing 1/2 props/middles versus a winger!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Tom Ale (NZ Warriors Prop) rumoured to have signed with Penrith Panthers. Fits the profile of players we need. Wouldn't have broken the bank. Why can't we sign these type of players? Instead we are looking to sign a winger and a hooker/utility.

    Tom and Jake

    Jake's absence has been notable in terms of opposition points and line breaks. Say what you will about Jake but his defence is still top notch. We are leaking points now.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Ballin's coaching record was um....... modest to say the least. What is wrong with someone like Hannay? Seriously we need a coach who is actually a coach.

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    Hard to say with Mestrov as he has gone very quiet. I thought he started quite strongly in the position. One red flag was when the DCE saga unfolded and he sent messages to NRL360 that they had in fact offered DCE a contract - vicinity of $750k for 2 seasons. I may not have the facts exactly...

    Who is making the decision? Siebold? Recruitment Manager? Agent? Garrick?

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    IF Mestrov is the messiah then he will somehow find a way to right the ship between now and next season. Only way that happens is: some smart signings (FWDS), a change of coach and/or assistants. Time will tell.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I feel the pain and hard to argue with most posters in the last few days/weeks. However Aloaia, Croker, Jake, Paseka, Brown and Haumole would certainly add a bit of starch to the defence. I think we only need 1/2 decent, young agile forwards to make an immediate difference.

    Team next week

    Problem is we don't have a lot of promising youngsters. Our squad depth overall is a number of older cheapies.

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

    Not sure if will be embarrassing. I do not expect us to win. Just do not have the firepower. Disappointing yes, embarrassing No.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Well that is bloody depressing. Hard to fathom really with DCE leaving, Aloaia leaving, Sipley leaving, Jazz + maybe a few others. I did not expect 'elite' signings but I did expect a few diamonds in the rough and a couple of younger, mobile Props/Middles.
