    The way forward

    Based on our results and where we seem to be heading then no. He's not terrible, I mean he's at least stayed longer than most of the CEOS we've had and seems ro have the support of the Penn family. but the results are what they are and I agree with your assessment of the future. Our future is...

    The way forward

    To me it all starts at the top. Hard to move the club forward without having a very strong leader someone totally committed to building the club back into a premiership force, someone with excellent footy knowledge and connections within the game to wheel and deal and make shxt happen. Someone...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    As it seems we don't cap space and or ability to recruit some top line or even mid level forwards for next season it seems that our only hope for 2026 is that a couple of our juniors particularly in the forwards can step up? I'm not familiar enough with who we have coming through but hopefully...

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

    The Tigers aren't the Tigers of the last three years. In the last month they've beaten the Bulldogs and the Roosters. As for the Tigers being a bottom team? We've only one won game more than them...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Both of those coaches didn't serve long apprenticeships in winning systems.

    Can't argue with that either

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    The NRL is littered with failed coaches who were the "next big thing"..... wrong job, wrong time. Someone who has a good history and a resume from a strong club like Panthers, Storm or Roosters would be where I would look. A few young coaches seem to have made the transition from assistant to...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Broncos are privately owned club aren't they? I am not trying to be a smart arse but out of interest why do the old ooys hold so much sway up there? Doesn't make sense to me but I hear it al the time on TV as well and I have never understand why?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Surely we'd be trying to avoid a repeat of Seibold era recruitment of plodders with any new coach? Ballin has served an apprenticeship? Where? Certainly not at a top club like the Storm, Panthers or even the Roosters. I'm not trying to put **** on Matt Ballin, I think he is a club great. I am...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Really? They have Manly DNA but what coaching record do they have? Would that coaching team really be able to attract the top line players we need? Could they rebuild and reshape the squad? Could they manage the media and player managers? With all due respect. to Matt Ballin he is so far down...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Interesting? More like frustrating ..... we are in what appears to be an endless three to four year cycle of sacking coaches and announcing a new coach and a "new era". which of course will guarantee success. Following Manly is like investing in a ponzi scheme. Every few years the Penn family...

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

    The Tigers haven't been playing that badly, their last game they beat the Bulldogs and are coming off the bye. They also recently beat the Roosters. On the other hand we've been smashed in our last three games. How we are favourites is more the mystery to me.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Yep, I don't get how the other clubs are able to clean up their rosters and we seem to be stuck witrh players not playing up to their pay? I guess it is all under the table stuff that we don't have access to?

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Those players you mention are also playing at above what they are currently getting if they went to the market now they'd be worth more. That's one of our problems our big $$$ earning players are playing well below what they are currently contracted for. We also don't have players that are...

    If he is offering to do the job on the cheap then he's probably Penn's man then.
