    Tallyn Da Silva

    Yep, it's a chicken-and-egg type of situation - if we had a better bunch of forwards, then Croker would be okay. He is no worse than Kenny and Verrills. But seeing we don't have a good forward pack then Croker's limitations are constantly talked about.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    You are right my friend - he was brilliant that day. And he has been a brilliant player. However, sadly, he has not delivered even a Grand final appearance since then, being "the man" at Manly in the last decade. That's on him being the captain and the highest-paid player. And now he has...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    what a horrid few months for the Tigers losing Galvin and likely da Silva now. would love to dump our piles of steaming turd at the 9 position and get this kid in.

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Like you, i love Tof and have been a big supporter of him on here. There was a period early last year when I thought he had broken through, but injuries have hampered him. Hoping he can find his best form.

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    Maybe the fact I'd thrown a brick through my TV during the game didn't help with my player assessments

    Manly In Crisis 2025 edition

    I must be watching a different game - Sipley isn't of first grade standard anymore due to his lateral quickness (slowness?) And is prone to a handing error as well. But as you say, he's got plenty of mates lately that have been just as bad.

    Ashton Large

    I inadvertently stubbled on the Scots Rugby team list for the weekend. And Ashton Large was named at 13 - outside centre! Shows you how different the two games are Onitoni was at 15 (fullback) incidentally.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Agree with most. Unpopular opinion with some, but i would keep Croker and Waddell assuming they are depth only.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Saab definitely in the firing line right now and is the weakest link as it stands - but i believe he has the longest contract. I have always liked Garrick but I think he is probably not as important to us as when he signed his latest contact for two reasons 1. He was Turbos fullback cover, but...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Schu needs to play 4th grade prop for a club rugby team. Sadly that's where his future lies.

    Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't

    To be honest I've never seen anyone here or elsewhere say anything other than Bellamy is an elite coach. He's clearly the best in the last 25 years. Who are these "people" you refer to?

    Manly Succession plan .NRL Fox .

    Does this mean i don't have to listen to him commentate?

    The Positive Thread

    Lehi Hopoate - to be honest he has had a good a start to his career as almost anyone I've seen And he will only get better.

    Storm make BIG 4 work - we don't

    Most clubs have a "big" 3 or 4 - ours just happen to be a combination of old, slow and injured.

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    I wasn't having a shot at those two guys - i was making the point that we look our best with an actual hooker and a mobile lock. And if at some stage we can upgrade those positions it will look even better.

    NSW Cup - young players

    I'm not blown away by Navale so wasn't that upset with him "biding" his time. But with the lack of depth and rubbish some of the other forwards are serving up, he has to be given more of a go.

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Its actually frightening that we look our best with Simpkin at 9 and Jazz at 13 - because both of those guys are basically fringe to middling first graders. Imagine if we had even the 8th or 9th best NRL players at those positions.

    New coach Poll

    BA definitely not. Holbrook the best of those above and perhaps Hannay if we want a first timer. If we were serious we would throw a bucket load of cash at a better coach under contract.

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I don't think Simpkin is a star but he needs to be in our 17. Our best footy in the last 6 weeks have had him starting and Jazz at lock. Seibold has definitely lost me going back to the Croker at 9 and Jake at 13 combo.

    New coach Poll

    The Ex players that led us to premiership glory were also legend coaches. We just need a really good coach no matter the background. Easier said than done I know. But yes if the owner had the money and the nouse he would throw the cheque book at Cleary.
