In the Tongan side, there are two current Sea Eagles, Koula & Olakau'atu, and two former Sea Eagles, Latu Fainu & Suli. I don't...

    Select 17 from 17

    As the NRL currently has 17 teams, can you select your best possible 17 man squad with just one player from each team? Guidelines: not selecting players completely out of position plus selecting a standard bench (one utility, one backrower and two props). This exercise has conundrums. For...

    Hypothetical: Immediately recall former Sea Eagles players & who should they replace?

    I noticed that Dylan Walker has been selected as five eighth for the Warriors this round. IMO, he is a better player than the Sea Eagles five eighth this round. In recent years, we have released many quality NRL players to other clubs. In fact, there is a full team of former Sea Eagles* selected...

    We need a locally based NSW Cup team!

    When can we return to having a locally based reserve grade (NSW Cup) team? I'm sure such a move will help boost our NRL performances. Teams will train together & there will be more uniformity in defence structures etc. Also, I think young players will see it as a more direct route to NRL...

    Hypothetical: Most Wanted?

    What player would you add to the Sea Eagles squad to immediately boost the team's 2023 performances? This is a purely hypothetical question. The player doesn't need to be available (off contract), nor does there need to be room in our salary cap or top thirty to accommodate him. He can come...

    How Many Sea Eagles Games Will Turbo Play in 2023?

    The 2023 season is approaching and Turbo is injured again. What's new? Will 2023 be the year when finally Turbo plays a full season (or close to it)? Or, will he miss the bulk of games as has been the case in most recent years? You can prognosticate here :think:

    To win a premiership, which halfbacks would you prefer instead of DCE?

    DCE is a very skilful player and has played some wonderful football over the years. However, he regularly has brain explosions which are detrimental to the team's performance. Cooper Cronk has said that DCE lacks composure under pressure (or words to that effect). I agree with this, even though...

    The Seven Have Agreed to Wear Pride Jersey Next Year (maybe?)

    Earlier, I posted this in Club News, but deleted it from there to create a new thread "Scott Penn said the players who refused to play in tonight’s match against the Roosters have agreed to wear a pride jersey next season, as long as they are consulted." It's very unfortunate this meeting...

    Des's Bizarro Selections

    Sometimes players can be selected out of position and there are no hitches. Usually, this is when the team has strong winning momentum and/or it is an exceptional player who is switched to the new position. I can remember in the 60's when lock, Bill Bradstreet, was selected as halfback for one...

    Sons Outdoing Their Fathers

    We are in the middle of a sixteen days hiatus between Sea Eagles games. Thus, I thought to post this trivia. I would like to create a team of players who have had more successful NRL careers than their fathers. A requirement is that the father played first grade in the NRL or its earlier Sydney...

    YKTR Sea Eagles 2022 Preview

    Interesting discussion with Justin Horo & Isaac John starts @ 20:00 Horo: Manly to finish 1 or 2; motivation for Manly this year will be last year's big losses to Storm & Rabbitohs in finals; team needs to use Turbo as a decoy more; having a strike centre would take pressure off Turbo (Koula...

    2021 NRL Top Defence Destroyers

    To qualify, a player needed either 15 line breaks, or 75 tackle busts across the course of the regular season - one point per line break, and 0.4 points per tackle bust. There are two Sea Eagles in the top 10 - no prizes for guessing who is No. 1 Again, no prizes for guessing the only forward...

Hopefully, this poll will remain active till the evening of Sunday 3rd October @:) If you vote one way now, please feel free...
