    There’s now a prize for my top 8 comp

    Did some cleaning out this morning and found in a box I hadn’t opened for years some scarves that were done for the 2009/2012 World Club Challenge games ( both in Leeds UK). So, for the member who gets the top 8 , in order ( need to do that to seperate as many will possibly get the 8 ) you’ll...

    Round 1 side , your best guess

    @Ryan is usually the master of this , and his choices of Bully ( run on) and Talau ( at 12) might eventuate but I doubt it. So , you’ve seen the two trial games , and at this stage no injuries meaning every player is available SO who ya picking for round 1, 1-17 ??? 1 Turbo 2 Saab 3 Koula 4...

    The top 8 for 2025 ( your choice )

    It’s simple , again , your top 8 from 1 through to 8 , in order. You’ll have until kick off of the 2025 season to make adjustments. After that the thread gets locked down and will be reviewed after round 26. Start posting boys ( and girls ) and the next of luck to all who participate.

    The first 8 rounds will define the year

    Yep , looking at the draw , I think we are going to get a good indication of how successful ( or not ) the 25 year will be after the first two months . I know the draw gets easier later in the year , but if we are say 2/8 it’ll be almost impossible to come back from there. A pass for me is 4/8...

    Premiers 2025

    Yeah I know we’d all love it to be us , and I guess you never know but realistically whilst I think we’ll improve really well this year I think Premiers is a bridge ( or two ) too far. No, rather it’s “ can the Panthers do the unthinkable and win 5 in a row “?? Or is it the Drizzles to lose ...

    My top 8 thread ( this isn’t it)

    I’ll post this up the week before the competition starts which will allow for the trials to come and go and for pre season major injuries to happen ( or not ). Going to be a highly interesting year I think.

    Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)

    It’s been announced today that Wayne ( Cuzzo as most would know him ) has been “ let go “ from the club effective immediately. I don’t know anything other than this and just sharing here as I’ve read it elsewhere. Wayne came along after I’d finished my work with the club so personally I had...

    Who’s “ stepping up” in 2025

    Well looks like our top 30 is close to being set , no superstars signed but a few promising youngsters. So who is going to surprise

    The Jake Conundrum

    Firstly let me acknowledge he’s a Manly legend ( already ) and there’s no way you can doubt his absolute passion for the club or his desire to win. However, if his salary is to be believed ( and I know that often this can be exaggerated) then at $950k per annum he’s certainly taking a big slice...

    Best win of the year

    Knocked about badly ( first half ), star fullback injured and playing through pain , possession badly against them. And EVERYONE on Silvertails throwing the towel in ( me included ). But not our players , oh no , not them, unlike us losers they never gave up. A win for the ages. A coaching...

    Spoonbowl 24

    I’d just like to take this opportunity of wishing the Wests Tigers all the best in their game V the Slime for this weekend. The Eels running dead last is almost as good as us making the finals. So bring it on home boys. PS: besides you’ve won it the last 3 years so it’s your time to finish...

    MVP: Raiders v Sea Eagles vote away

    Sorry @mosto but I’m just about to head out for a few drinks so needed to vote whilst the iron was hot. 3 Brooks ( by far his best game as a Sea Eagle ) 2 Turbo ( back to his best or almost ) 1 Bully ( he changed the tempo when he came on and that backing up for his try was epic ). Vote away...

    Players feigning injury ( penalty ).

    A simple rule change would fix this. Players who claim they are injured by an opposing player are immediately sent to the sideline for an assessment by a Doctor and that side plays 1 short for the time they are being assessed. Does not apply in the obvious high tackle / shoulder charge...

    One of those days ( nights ).

    I’m sure I’ll get howled down for this thread , if so , so be it. Firstly , just as I expected the Eels to come back after a drubbing , and the Titans to lift themselves off the canvas after a shellacking I certainly expected the Faiders to come out firing last night , and they did. I also...

    The 2024 season, any team can beat any team ( almost )

    Well the Titans aside ( so far ) it seems almost any team can beat any team AND in my opinion this has little to do with the talent on the field rather how the games are being “ manipulated “ for the broadcaster / gambling agencies. Every single round we’ve seen an upset , & often 2 or 3. I...

    Your views on 2024 after Round 1

    Well whilst round 1 isn’t quite over as this is being typed , the Cowbotys have quite a lead over the Dolphins so let’s assume they go on to win that one. So , and I know it’s a long long way to go BUT what are your views on the competition for 2024?? Penrith held to nil. Bulldogs despite...

    Premium Membership ( Silvertails )

    If you’ve missed the news @Dan who has run this madhouse for 20 years is currently unemployed ( I’m sure it won’t be long ). But if there was ever a reason to stump up for not only the footy tipping competition but premium membership , well this is it ! Let me do some price comparisons ( for...

    Depth

    Has always been our Achilles Heel, well maybe not always but certainly since our last premiership. And I can’t help but think , regardless of what you think about Seibold , that he’s really addressed this issue in 2024. Those let go , and those brought in ( Brooks aside ) have all been about...
