    How to F a season in one go

    Agree with this. An awful look for Cherry-Evans , the Club, and so deflating for all the hitherto dedicated supporters.

    How to F a season in one go

    Arthur is nowhere near NRL standard.

    Joey Walsh

    Watched Walsh closely on Sunday in the Flegg Cup (Manly were flogged by a bigger Canberra side). Walsh certainly presented as a young player with very good ball and organisational skills. Did not attempt to run the ball much at all as his team was on the back foot most of the time. My main...

    Hooker Recruitment

    It is ludicrous that in the 2025 season we are starting with Tevaga at hooker whilst waiting for the likes of Croker. No wonder this side has , even at this early stage, no chance of winning the comp, or even probably achieving the top 4. Whilst we have a couple of good back-ups in a few...

    Different era but I still think Churchill was a superior all round footballer than Slater

    Pre-Game Manly V Raiders [Round 3, 2025]

    Doubt that Turbo will play. The team selected is basically the same that last season showed that ultimately it will not progress against the top sides. The make up of the pack is fundamentally flawed - we don't have top NRL standard hooker, lock and lack another decent second rower. Therefore...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Wish Manly would cease moving Ben T into the centyres - these days he cannot cope with the lateral speed requirements.

    What flexibility does Ben T. offer?

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Reckon Navale a better option than Waddell - will tackle all day and is much quicker. Patolo well off the pace in the 2nds yesterday. Ben T's days as a centre are well over. Now too slow.

    NSW Cup 2025

    My few thoughts on yesterdays game - Team started chaotically but gradually improved. Poor goal-kicking eventually cost them the win. A couple of players stood out to me as potential place takers (or not) in the NRL side - Fulalo: who looked a class above all the others. Wakeham: who played...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    This line-up is basically the same as last year's, which realistically and ultimately, was uncompetitive with the best sides. To make it worse , IMO, we have been bolstered by a few aging players cast off from their previous clubs. As an example, the selection of Tevaga as run on dummy-half...

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Wadell completely without ball skills. Any centre outside him will not see any ball.

    Pre-Game Manly V Cowboys [Round 1, 2025]

    Pedestrian pack including a few who would not be in 1st grade at any other club. No backline player on bench - a very risky gamble as fill-in back (B. Turbo) proven inadequate in that role. Backline top class. Cowboys look like a good mixture of very promising young guys and experience. IMO...

    Round 1 side , your best guess

    In recent years the Warriors actually have usually picked two hookers - Egan and Freddy Lussick.

    Round 1 side , your best guess

    Can't understand the love for Tevaga by so many posters. For heavens' sakes he is over 30 years old and was punted by the Warriors. Whilst at the Warriors he was never ever considered as a selected dummy-half because they almost always picked two specialists. Occasionally Tevaga did act as a...

    Round 1 side , your best guess

    Turbo, Saab, Koula, Talau, Garrick, Brooks, DCE, Paseka, Simkins, Jake Turbo, Olak, BenTurbo, Navale, Hoppa, Bully, Brown, Taukei (or Aloie)

    Caleb Navale

    Missed one tackle only. Seen plenty of other Manly players miss more than one tackle. I would persevere with his as he has potential. Manly need some youth and mobility. Navale seems to have most of the necessary attributers - reasonable speed, good hands, willing tackler, good attitude. Would...

    Trial V Panthers

    Played outside Waddell - a player completely devoid of ball skills. Therefore never given a hint of a gap or ourtside space.

    Reckon there is a chance that Patolo may prove to be a good buy. Chatter on the Dogs supporters website indicates he was very well regarded and talented but has been held back by a series of serious injuries. So, if he can stay injury free he could be a 'good'un'.
