    The Rumour that we hear everywhere

    Well Seibold did get the side to the finals last season and not sure if there was any noticeable or actual indications that the coach and playing group were not on the same page in general And fair to make the point again that Manly have beaten 4 of the current top 8 present sides Not...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Garrick is still on the books for 2026 and seemed to be an additional aspect to his previous contract upgrade with that desire or part demand that he wished to be considered seriously as a centre Probably going to come more down to whether a club like the Perth Bears is prepared to pay that...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Guess that is the thing also , irrespective who coaches the side next season , still going to have virtually the same squad and cap restrictions with Fogarty the likely only notable addition Bearing in mind , Ennis would have some influence to the coaching input already so not sure if he could...

    Tom Trbojevic was a Legend

    Yet his i st round game form against the Cows while not quite vintage Turbo , was fairly impressive and looked so promising for the season ahead

    Team next week

    Phins tend to play a fairly open type of footy from reports so probably not advisable to include Lodge again but not much forward depth on offer . Maybe Jake will return but could be on the early side for his own welfare Suggested a couple of weeks ago also to make D C E play some portion...

    Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Showed in the first 60 sec how they should have approached the game and what the side is still capable of , then straightaway almost went back to a rudderless , negative mindset with the attacking options and not helped by some of the most ineffectual tackling that was more reminiscent the Nth...

    [Resurrected] Tom Wright

    Easy in hindsight but only position that Tom Wright was close to maybe securing in a Manly backline spot was as a winger in the 2 nd year of his then 3 season contract Still not assured and did not seem to be too many complaints when he asked for an early release with one more contact year to...

    Game Day: Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

    Looks like a dry track and if their defence and pack holds up , could be looking a bit brighter Manly bench could be a factor in their favor as well Just feel a bit more optimistic for some reason now and got a feeling that they could put on some really decent footy. Well only a hunch but...

    The way forward

    Let "s see how things go when the contact values of D C E , Turbo and Jake finishes and comes into effect and savings ideally redirected for a more balanced and value for money squad In all probability , if there could have been even close to receiving some decent return on investment for those...

    November Targets

    Hard to say with some of these types of re signings when a player is on pretty decent coin already Maybe Garrick wishes to test his value in the open market soon and with the cap increasing soon also but that would be proportional to all clubs including Manly Valuable team member but don't...

    Jason Saab

    Pretty sure that this is Saab"s 6 th season with Manly now and still would contend more good on balance then not Injury issues certainly not helping the past couple of seasons but quite a few other team problems and not his making , no doubt restricting his opportunities to show his best...

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

    I am not overly hopeful against the Tigers , fairly well balanced side and apparently have been taking it up to all sides for some time now but Manly had a decent dig against them not that long ago so maybe some hope they can lift again sufficiently . Bula did not play last time and i rate him...

    Rest well Shaun Lane

    Slightly further south then Hammo island actually but just 4 1/2 K's from the coast with a farm property sea view and i certainly appreciate that. Still a fairly laid back lifestyle in my region despite a quite big uptake population wise for a while now

    Rest well Shaun Lane

    Actually just noticed your Terry Randell reference and was just thinking the other day that your posting style remined me of him or that persona posting name Somehow seems a bit more refined these days if you don "t mind me saying with your posting style but meant in a complimentary way One...

    Rest well Shaun Lane

    Often overlook Jacko 's time with Manly , had some talent [ probably still does ] but of course some other issues as well in his Manly stint Still seems to be on good money and apparently a good stint in the S L but does not look like really making the mark that his early promise may have...

    Rest well Shaun Lane

    Maybe played a part in him leaving but pretty sure it was mainly a money factor Manly 's best offer at the time around the 300 K range with him off contract , Eels 500 k , Big difference Taking into account that when Manly signed him or at least in his i st season , he was only on about $...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Blake Wilson has quite a bit going for him , good finisher and broken field runner Probably can easily be accommodated cap wise if the likes of Schoupp and Ray Ray are not retained but still have a bit of time for Ray Ray with his block busting style of play Think that Turpin played a bit in...

    Clayton Faulalo

    He [ Sabb ] has had stanzas where he has been super quick but since that early season L A Souths match last year , has had a very disruptive run with injuries which has at times definitely impeded his pace asset Not too sure whether the problem is with D C E not being able to provide more...

    Joey Walsh

    Good summary not sure if there can be or may a similar correlation with Walsh as there was with Weekes but Manly had a few or expected longer term options at one while Weekes was on the books Whereas , only looks like an aging Fogarty going forward right now for a 7 role and Walsh ...

    Joey Walsh

    And Walsh still has to measure up but hopefully does for Manly long term
