    Pre-Game Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

    Hope so, but not hopeful should Waddell be playing instead. Recall all three Souths tries were scored down the Manly right side defence - and that is where Waddell was positioned! His lateral movement and agility is not athletic at all.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Together with Waddell as a starting edge forward!, hope it works out but the omens are ominous.

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    With respect to the upcoming Tigers match-up - reckon Manly could well have the backline to compete well. But on the other hand it probably will be in the forwards where we will struggle, as I think the Tigers would field a more athletic and aggressive pack than ours. Will be very interesting to...

    Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Zorba has opined the worst forward pack in over 50 years! I agree (and have been observing Manly since 1951)!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    You're not wrong, and it has all lead to in the words of the immortal ZORBA 'the worst Manly pack in over 50 years'!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Crosby is indeed a very good prospect. Was a R.U. schoolboy standout. Tackles and runs hard. Not sure whether the Warriors would let him go, but they have already resigned several of their young up and coming forwards. The very opposite to Manly.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Willett is still young and plays OK in the reserves. Looks to have some potential.

    Agree with most of this but think Ben is worthwhile persevering with as lately he has been on the improve.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Hope we never lose Koula. Puts in every week and is one of the few we have who can be a match winner.

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Need a dummy-half who has a bit of leg speed and can scoot when the opportunity arises. This position has been a significant basic handicap for Many for a number of seasons now. Has to be rectified as a priority in any team rebuild.

    But the matter of paying out contracts has to be considered! Don't know what the answer is!

    NSW Cup 2025

    Sykes has now been around for a couple of seasons and is wholehearted type of player. Deserves a chance in the top side.

    NSW Cup 2025

    From my observations of Chee Kam this season is that he is disinterested, and therefore not putting in. At age 33 why on earth was he signed?

    Am confident Walsh will be ready for the NRL side next season.

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Many contributors here frequently bag the Penn ownership. But realistically that is a HUGE back room staff and must cost a fortune. So, without doubt the owners are committing to a significant financial investment to the running of the club. But of course the playing recruitment processes are a...

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Tevanga, Taukeiaho, and Croker are part of the symptoms ( ageing rejects) that need to be cleared out of Manly.

    We are Laughing stock of the NRL

    agree there has to be a huge restructure of the team, don't know about the contractual situations of the various players you mention as it may be difficult to move them out??
