    Post-Game Discussion Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

    I would be starting Jazz at 13 and Jake starting prop. Simpkins was fantastic tonight and has played himself into that starting roll. Jake simply has to be played as a traditional front rower with 2 x 20min bursts.

    Probably waiting for the 10 day cooling off period to lapse before making the official announcement.

    That would be a massive signing! He is a real talent and wouldn’t break the bank. Is he off contract next year?

    Brooks is on $600k

    Tom Starling would be my next signing. Now Fogarty is with us I would prioritise Starling now with their combination already built.

    Still a very good deal for both parties. $700k for a starting half coming into his best years is a steal for us. Bummer Canberra played a little hard ball to drive his price up with Sticky helping him on his way out. Fogarty and Brooks on a total of $1.3m per year is great business for...

    What youngster would you get in right now? It’s well and good to object to the Fogarty planning but you must back it up with a solution. Personally I think this is exactly what we need in the squad. Our young halves need to cut their teeth in NSW cup as did Humphreys for a few years before...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    If an outside back went down everyone would have called it a master stroke. You could argue that we could of moved Burbo to the centres and Bully to the backrow if that was to happen, moving our best prop to a position where he is virtually no existent is definitely not the right decision. IMO...

    The max I would counter offer Fogarty would be $675k per year. This way both parties are happy with the outcome. That increase should be enough to lure him away from Canberra as it will be his last large contract before retirement. It doesn’t burn too much of our cap for a starting half which...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    If we can keep the Dragons scoreless for the 1st 20mins that will go a long way for us to winning this game. Our best chance to roll them will be when Bully and Brown come on and inject speed up the middle. Just need Sipley and TKO to hold the fort until then

    Joey Walsh

    If you think footy players are footy players 24/7 you are way off. They need interests outside of footy to switch off and clear their head. He could be doing much worse things in his spare time than cutting hair that for sure. He seems like a very switched young man.

    Galvin

    He is a great young player but I just can’t see how he fits in our plans. With Brooks and Fogarty here for the next 2 years it’s safe to say we aren’t after him. There is no way he would change clubs to play lock either. Looks like he is Parramatta bound with the spot freed up from Brown. Also...

    It won’t be Roosters that get him. Uncle Nick won’t deal with Isaac Mosses

    My point is that we could afford better props with Fogarty in the side.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Losing Paseka for the season is up there with one of the worst things that could have happened to us. He is our only big dog prop that makes any imprint. Bully is the other only one who impacts the game though with his speed. Moving DCE on is the best decision imo so we can give Paseka some...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Is it just me or is anyone else concerned another team will come in on the 11th to drive his price up? It seems too good of a deal and too publicised for it just to land in our lap unchallenged. Monday can’t come quick enough!

    When should we take the 2 points early?

    Taking the two suggests that we were prepared to grind out the game. I believe that we were of the mindset that points will be at a premium where it could have been the difference. I believe it was the right decision at the time but the game obviously blew out.

    Is Joey Walsh playing?

    Jamal Fogarty

    He is definitely not the player DCE is but they have completely different styles and also pay brackets. Us signing Fogarty allows us to spend in other needed areas which in turn could make us more competitive overall. I’m all for it

    Jamal Fogarty

    Club option is $650k at round 6. If not taken up by the club there is a player option at round 20 at round $300-$400k
