    2026 recruitment & retention

    Just not sure what is going on with Bully, Did hear one report a couple of weeks ago that Manly were in the process of [ or trying ] re signing him . Should be fairly obvious that his form level has been quite impressive for a while now so would assume that any outside interest would have...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    That "s interesting , so essentially Taukeiaho and most likely Sipley in for Paseka and Alioia Koula and Faulalo in for Talau and Ray Ray . Jazz in for the Lawman , Simpkin for Gordy . Storm a bit off their game in the early stages last season. Presume the Storm are the favorites with the...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Presume there is still a top or a top 30 spot -_ spots available and for Patolo if he can keep his improvement going and to be considered longer term . Think that Sipps has knuckled down reasonably well the past couple of seasons , then guys like Faulalo , Schoupp , Arthur definitely offering...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Bit more of a demanding role defensively for Lehi as a 6 but has seemed quite reliable at one or on the wing so most likely well within his capability playing as a 6 . Natural ball player and good attacking instincts and ability so definitely no problem there . Kicking wise , not so sure but...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 5, 2025]

    Hard to say how this one may go , tend to think that Manly can be quite competitive , although Storm obviously not at that stage of being there for the taking , despite some apparent recent patchy form . So many other factors usually at play also like ref "s calls and general rub of the...

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    Also not sure what to make of the suggestion that the club with mutual agreement was going to wait until round 6 or so to see how D C E was travelling and try to come to some arrangement then . Or whether that was before D C E apparently told the club in Dec or so that he would not be at...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Just find it surprising that D C E was preferring to leave the club for 24 and 25 and when he was apparently still on a one mil K Manly contract . Could not have been not that much more on offer elsewhere unless there were some other inducements . Just the question on whether he is signed...

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    Mestrov opting out of his planned N R L 360 appearance last night should set the tone on how things should proceed ongoing and trying to dial down the temperature to a more sensible level Surely that most or all of the detail or purported detail or versions and of any general interest has...

    2026 halves plan

    Some of those suggestions naturally would be based on the proviso of Brooks reverting to 7 for 26

    2026 halves plan

    Looking more unlikely for Fogarty to take up any Manly offer . Know that Arthur has played the occasional game at 6 for Manly but not sure if he would be the answer there however would be more suited then Turbo . Talau had that bit of a brief stint there just after mid season last...

    2026 halves plan

    That "s the way it could be heading and only watch highlights with his play but does not seem to lack general speed once he winds up a bit . Maybe will not develop into a Yeo type 13 but could have the credentials to do a reasonable job there Have Navale who looks like coming on well and may...

    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    Not too sure whether it was D C E being so long in a Manly jersey now or just going into a total support Manly mode but personally just did not register associating D C E with any off field issues or past week antics yesterday when he was playing .Probably a combination of both ...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

    Scoreline probably a fair indication of the difference between the sides , even allowing for the disallowed Eels tries as Manly pretty much bombed a couple . Maybe not ideal conditions for open footy but really do not go for the more one out plays for the mid range set options when spreading...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Don 't think it really matters in terms of Humphreys situation , whatever range of reasons or main reason, he or his management decided to move on towards the latter stages of last season . D C E was still contracted for season 25 and another year or expectation of being mainly at Blacktown...

    Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

    Know that showers are forecast but as long as it is not a particularly wet track , should not affect Manly or their preferred style of play that much . More the prediction of the strong winds , certainly going to make the attacking kick high balls challenging for both sides . Still some good...

    Sure that would have made all the difference if he would have given a clear indication of his intentions late last year or so and everybody could have just come to terms with and accepted it respectfully and just got on with things . And especially for the club 's benefit on future planning ...

    The Jake Conundrum

    Not that age is everything but what , Jake will be 33 and Turbo 31 in season 27 . Most likely a 2 year deal for Jake and maybe the same for Turbo if his body is holding up and playing some reasonable amount of games leading up to that time . Maybe not that unreasonable for jake at say 650 K...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Fogarty would be the safe option but must be a bit of doubt whether he can actually be available and really should not be paying overs , especially for 2 years . Quite impressed with the Rooster"s Sandon Smith at least ability wise . Really can not see Turbo playing at 6 , Brooks in general...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Sure that D C E will always be respected for his footy ability and playing at a top level for so long and his durability . Just a shame that he will be less respected ongoing with this recent development and again , largely preventable in many ways if he had applied a bit more discretion and...

    Jamal Fogarty

    Used to like @ Snakes input as well , especially with his apparent closer in club connections previously . But also quite a few others of course apart from the ones you referred to . Sure that they would all be welcomed back if returning would be of some interest to them .
