    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Hynes and Trindall no doubt still have ongoing contracts, maybe some consideration for Nicko to revert to full back though Kenedy can be a class act at times still or one would presume Another major contract haircut for D C E if he actually does end up at the Sharks whatever the other club...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Age difference could well be an upside but Jazz was one tough dude who really tried to put in . Maybe not a lot of footy smarts and not great lateral defence [ Jazz ] but again , certainly made up for it in other ways Not sure if it could occasionally go the way how Jazz used to start as the 9...

    Kobe Hetherington

    Probably in the practical sense , better to regard Kobe more as a direct like for like for Jazz Can only guess that Jazz was on about the 300 - 350 K range and from some reports , Kobe "s Manly deal is more then that and if considerably more , could be a bit of a negative there Although ...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Burbo "s defensive ; [ or harder ] contact was probably the most improved part of his overall game input this season . . Better yardage post contact as well , not as much clear hole running but guess that maybe a bit different team attacking mode for better or worse then the past year or so...

    The what if question.

    Still don 't know how Manase 's crook shoulder would have held up even if he was not convicted and could have continued his Manly career Was looking quite chronic at the time and then his not inconsiderable contract value to take into account and a bit of a restriction then on general cap...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Going to be hard to bring him back even on a minimum wage . No idea how his general form has been in recent times also , maybe better for him to consider S L Looks like have kept Faualo to compensate for Talau Blake Wilson is again the interesting signing , maybe to cover Taulu leaving and...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Doubt if much more is going to happen major forward recruiting wise and any time soon with Jake , Tent and Ola effectively taking up some 2 . 7 mil of the cap next season . Different matter of course when Jake 's contact or possible contract extension comes up for review but already have Moale...

    Adam O'Brien

    Guess that it can come down to what an assistant coach is actually worth [ or considered to be ] in the general sense but then the calibre of any available assistant to take into account also Are Cartwright and Barrett still together on the Broncs assistant coaching staff , probably does not...

    Trump

    Most likely Trumpie would have been re elected in 2020 all things normal if not for the either part perception , part reality that he mishandled or mismanaged the Covid response in the U S when the endemic was causing no end of problems or at its peak Probably turns out that some of the...

    Adam O'Brien

    A O B will bring some useful experience and apart from being previously connected as an assistant , was it with The Storm and with some of the net benefits that should have offered for him . Maybe would have preferred Holbrook but of course ironically going to the Knights now Wasn 't that...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Tend to think that Kobe has been bought in primarily as a middle to replace the likes of Jazz Burbo does deserve credit for upping his game this season and should be an automatic edge pairing with Ola starting next season Hart could well provide a bit of an X factor soon on an edge and if his...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Looks like the Moale signing is in anticipation of Jake either being on an inevitable and major reduced contract after 26 if he does actually play on after that . Hetherington for Aloiai but again , certainly hope that it is well shy of 600 K even allowing for any increased cap N R L...

    Turbo to Superleague?

    Doubt that you would find a more dedicated Manly supporter then Brenda over time Actually thought [ and i never knew her ] that she was just a well off individual , [; well may have been too and good on her ] and not aware of her other commendable roles in society Certainly left a great legacy...

    Turbo tied up long term

    Large may be well up to it by then , at least attacking wise , pretty good mover at 6 now or i am sure equally capable as a centre

    Turbo tied up long term

    Certainly some conflicting parts to this , well so far relatively minor saga in that Turbo or his manager has not indicated that he is totally intent on leaving Prepared to offer something back to the club some time ago but now willing to play a bit of hardball Sure that he would be fully...

    Turbo tied up long term

    Would have thought a bit better co ordinated by whatever internal club recruiting processes and even if the intention was for a more formal offer as opposed to a more tentative approach which may have initially occurred . Regardless , like the D C E situation , has to be still a more...

    Turbo tied up long term

    Was really trying to draw a distinction between the majority of his games at full back last season with the games he played there this season . Can only really think of the game against the Broncs at Brookie this season where he really stood out , could have been another one or so but last...

    Hales Gone

    Side was playing a fairly good style of attacking and open footy the last 3 games , [ admittedly against not the greatest of defences ] but still seeming to suit the playing make up and attacking strengths of the side Whether Hayles or Seibs individually or collectively can take credit for...

    Turbo tied up long term

    Guess that means Lehi staying on the wing into the indefinite future on the assumption that Turbo may finally have a better run on the injury front . Gifted individual footy player [ Lehi ] ' but just did not seem to have the same effectiveness in the main from the back when playing there on...
