    Post-Game Discussion Post-Game Discussion - Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    Watching the replay and the highlights what stood out was Garrick's defence. 3 tries scored from either poor reads or soft first contact. Not sure what is going on there however fix that and the scoreline would have been a lot more comfortable. Also as some have said turbo doesn't jump for...

    2025 recruitment & retention

    Like this but wouldn't come cheap. At least $500-$600k per season. Not sure we can afford it.

    Jake Toby, what a shame

    Agree with this. Saw him in a couple of Manly pre-season games and certainly a livewire in attack. Absolutely exposed under the high ball and NSW cup is his limit in my opinion. Has been around now for 3/4 years and hasn't cracked it yet. No way he makes the Storm team and wouldn't/shouldn't...

    Pre-Game Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

    I would swap Talau for Paulo and I think Lodge will start and Brown on the bench. BUT we know Woods will be in instead of GCKT.

    Lehi Hopoate

    Think he becomes a very viable option later in the season, probably on the wing. Definitely see him in FG next year in some capacity and will provide good depth at FB, Wing and Centre.

    Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

    How do you do that blocking thing again?

    Coaches

    Jury still out for me. I think there have been some great changes over the past 12-18 months but not sure if that is Mestrov or the coaches. And then there are games like the Dragons which do my head in e.g. "we didn't turn up". Well, that's the coach's job to ensure mentally we are up. Our...

    The fairytale is over

    After the 'Manly Way' video's and the whole Las Vegas extravagander I was optimistic of a Top 8 finish. Up 14-0 versus the Eels I was even thinking "gee we have got a very good team this year". Then the second half capitulation against the Eels, followed by a whole lot of excuses. The...

    Woodsie's Team List Tuesdays

    Going to be very hard to beat the Panthers. Even without Cleary and Fischer-Harris the Panthers do everything quicker than Manly. I just think they will spread the ball wide at every opportunity and expose our fragile defence out wide. God help us if they end up with repeat sets on our goal...

    Pre-Game Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

    Agree with this. I know we won there last year but we always seem to struggle in Wollongong. And as fired up as we may be, so will they. Flanno would love to put one over us.

    Garricks performance at centre

    Agree young Hoppa looks special however body is still very slight. Give him a few more months (or next year) and watch out. Plus I don't think he is eligible to play until rnd 11 anyway.

    Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

    This. The top teams overcome these obstacles. We need to defend better on the edges AND stop the winger rushing in. Little plays like stopping the Parra try off the kick - we had enough players around the ball. The try where Turbo came across and hit the ball carrier short of the line. The...

    Is Jaxson Paulo a starter

    Jury out on Paulo however the issue of wingers flying in off their wing is not new. Tuipolotu did it regularly for the last 2 years. Either it is the coaching or an individual choice. Either way I never really saw Tui sanctioned for it.

    Leaking points in the 20m

    Agre - been an issue re leaking points in our 20m for the past 18 months. IF we can tighten this up then it will improve our chances this season. I must admit when watching games and a team enters our 20 I feel like they can/will score at anytime.

    The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)

    What happens to Brown? Jake has been starting at 13 and then moves to Prop and and Brown comes on at 13.

    Shoosh

    BUMP Just quietly how about Naufua Whytes impact when he came on yesterday. Guy is a monster. Don't think there was ever anything in this rumour but looks a future player.

    Is Jaxson Paulo a starter

    Agree looked better. Talau however was very good as a 'fill-in' winger. They mentioned in commentary he had dropped 8kgs from last season. Even though he didn't take a clean bomb I liked how he competed for the high ball against Dom Young. Early on he also had to turn and chase a grubber for...

    Your views on 2024 after Round 1

    My only cocnern is our goal line defence. Just about every time Souths got close to our line they looked like they could score (and yes same when we were down their end). Compare this to Storm and Sharks who repeatedly repelled decent attacking teams with incredible goal line defence, We need...

    Blacktown Workers

    Could it simply be a case that they only considered players that stayed in Australia. They would have trained together while the Vegas squad were away (possibly played a trial last weekend) so simply wanted to keep the combinations together. Think we will see a different team come game 2...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    This guy looks like a weapon (he looks destructive in some of the videos). I am surprised then that he has slipped though the fingers of Dolphins, GC & Broncs. A few links to disciplinary issues (onfield) so maybe a bit of a hot head but gee he is a physical specimen. Could be a diamond in the...
