    Seen Chee Kam in the Reserves this year? - totally non involved - got punted by Souths for a reason.

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Hi Dingo, Agree. I think the club is in a real mess as the poor results relate to all the grades - with not much improvement in prospect due to the seeming shortage of talented younger players coming through. I am not in the know with what is going on internally at the club, but it seems to me...

    Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    I primarily blame the coach for this loss as 1. Once again failed to select a back on the bench - as Ben T. previously has shown that he now cannot handle playing in the centres any more. and 2. Selecting Waddell who lacks pace and cannot defend laterally (lost count of his missed tackles).

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    None of them would get a run at any other NRL side.

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

    Crossed my mind also - having taken into account our weak pack, how much we are dependant on DCE, and very serious lack of depth. Looking at it realistically, the current mooted candidates for last are Newcastle and Titans, and I think both those sides have squads at least as good as ours, and...

    Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

    Spot on. Very strange that Navale ( who has pace) still not getting a chance.

    Can't believe Manly have signed Fogarty for three years. Two should have been maximum.

    Zak Hosking, Frizell, and where I went to skool...

    Sign Frizelle -= Noooooooo! Has not passed ball for ages. Prime example of a bash and barge player -= not suited to present day NRL. Too old anyway.

    Matt Ballin for coach?

    Yep, Brooks has mostly been playing quite well. Definitely not the problem with this side

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    So did I, in fact it was a much improved game, and effort from him.

    Caleb Navale

    Just hope that this time he gets more than 10 minutes on the field.

    No end in sight

    Reckon you're spot on here - these days dummy-half is just about the most vital position in an NRL side, and since we lost Fainu/Api in one fell swoop, it has been all downhill. (compounded by cap constraints and some dumb losses of promising players).

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Note that Navale has been picked - just hope he gets more than 10 minutes game time.

    Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

    Deardon is a superb player - and competitor. Might bring the best out of DCE

    Young Forwards - Do we have any?

    I think Navale's comment would have been just a throw away line - He normally plays very long minutes in NSW Cup, and I have no doubts he could well handle play in the Firsts. Just needs to be given the chance by a very conservative coach.

    Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    Can trump that - in 1951 I attended (with my grandfather) the GF manly Vs Souths at the old Sydney Sports Ground. Manly's best player -Wally O'Connell, could not play because of injury, and Johnny Graves broke my heart by scoring four tries for Souths.

    As I recall Hasler actually held Olakau-atu back in favour of Waddell.

    Was a bit disappointed that Navale only got about ten minutes. More game time would have assisted his experience level to the team's benefit.

    Jamal Fogarty

    I also watched him on the week-end. Not overly impressed - sure has nice kicking game - passing OK, but not in DCE class - and next to zero running game. And to sign him for three seasons, at his age????

    NSW Cup 2025

    Reckon Harry Grant is just about the best player in the League (including Cleary). Wish Manly had him.
