    Jamal Fogarty

    Broncs certainly have some depth and may give them an edge at this stage of the season and looks like having the easier passage to the G F with either the Dogs or Panthers to face in the Q F Mentioned already that Storm probably can only take it out with Hughes available , not sure about Pappy...

    The Finals thread:

    Just going on the highlights package , Broncs scoring much better structured and team tries Defensively , could have been fairly even but not sure there Looks like the Broncs have got lucky this year with some low budget outside backs who are more then capable of stepping up , Mam , Cobo and...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Most likely ,only the 3 year deal for Fogarty offering any general negativity Game management , attacking and backing up ability looks like consistently right up there Looks like some recent questioning of his defensive positioning and effectiveness , not sure if this will be a problem when...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Certainly hope that Kobe Hetherington 's contract is not in the 600 K range or no where near it . Had the initial impression and probably like many others that essentially a like for like for Jazz and in the similar contract bracket , maybe around the 300 K mark but if double this and even...

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    Still think only on an edge that he would have managed or been capable of best effectiveness Even there and when he was doing quite well or mainly in 21 , still was showing signs of not being fully committed in defence No doubt had the skills to do occasionally well as a 6 but badly exposed...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Still look back at the Jamie Lyon Manly era with so much fond nostalgia as i am sure many Manly followers do One of Manly all time greats as far as i am concerned , outstanding footy player and team leader Recall when there was only a couple of years left in his time with Manly and the...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Yeah , go along with all of that , not blaming Jake per say but really seemed to have South"s measure before down to 12 men , was it mid way through the 2 nd halfor slightly latter just trying to think who the other edge was with Waddell, don "t think it was Lane but could have been , recall...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Had 3 disallowed tries [ Turbo 2 and Garrick the other and all 3 real unlucky outcomes ] as well in the i st 20 min before Souths had that quick run of scores , including a couple of fortunate ones before half time then Not sure if Souths were that much a better side but a bit of inexperience...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Wonder if the prospect of Manly pushing or that much closer to a premiership tilt would come into the equation for his planning for the next 3 or so years Maybe not as far fetched as now might seem the case and with a decent run with injuries and key player availability and performance levels...

    Navren Willett- Looking Good - tries of 2025

    Hard to say what the plan is for outside back positions for 26 Willett probably not that far off handling i st grade level as a winger but new wing recruit Wilson already showing that he is well up to N R L standard Looks almost certain Garrick reverting back to centre now , Schoupp handy...

    Rest in Peace thread.

    'Few Flops are just in damage control " ? Far left [ another ] assassination attempt , apparently the shooter who fired at Trumpy was at one stage a Trump supporter and Republican inclined Do you have a gun licence ? i have since they were required in Australia in the late 90 "s and have been...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Bit hard to reconcile [ if it has "n been mentioned already ] this present speculation with Turbo "s supposed willingness to seek a reduction in his contract value and to be approved by the N R L some time ago or last season i think Would or could only assume if that speculation was genuine...

    Rest in Peace thread.

    Was certainly trying to manage that , Just putting out there regardless of politics there or who is in power right now , general social and community circumstances hardly conducive to a low rate of gun related deaths

    Kobe Hetherington

    Maybe could start Jake as a 13 for the i st 15 - 20 minutes when the middle is a bit more intense then bring on Navale for the majority or even rest of the game if his stamina is up to it Then use Jake in a prop role , maybe in 2 stints after that or depending on the interchange situation...

    Rest in Peace thread.

    Incident in one of the most pro republican and conservative states in the U S in largely Morman Utah but all sides of politics there or their prominent members and supporters , fair game in recent years sadly Guess in hindsight , just makes one realize how close Trumpy came to a similar brutal...

    Kobe Hetherington

    On reflection , guess that the Kobe signing is not quite a like for like for Jazz for instance , as Jazz a bit more adaptable to be able to play 9 from some indications but could well be required there to compliment Simpkin Guess also to take into account, what the intention is at this stage...

    Laurie Daley

    Probably no different to Joey Johns being a 'halfs " consultant for Manly in 2013- 14 or so but with Daley just having a bit more of an overarching role But it has now been blocked , not sure . Maybe a not insignificant amount of coin to have Daley on board so club looks like it has no...

    Heres a Positive - Good young players 2026

    Sure that Ontino Large could transition into a quite competitive centre in the near future and for whatever time before coming into calculations as a 6 at Manly Realize Garrick has some genuine toe but a Koula - Large centre combo would be right up there

    Heres a Positive - Good young players 2026

    Wonder how Mafoa and Pua : avase are rated these days as potential i st grade level props Looks like Patolo has slipped down the ratings a bit You and naturally Smokin Joe always have some good takes on the guys coming through Willett has some good credentials , speed , good anticipation ...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Recall the interest in Staggs was back in 2017 according to the then switched on Poster Snake so those Manly scouts were fairly well attuned to his promise at the time Not too sure how close Manly came to signing him but even with his [ Staggs ] standing in the game now , would still take Koula...
