    Boo hooing DCE is not the way forward

    Agree with the sentiment @maxta and thank-you for saying it. It may be unlikely that he will escape the booing as all it takes is a small few to start it, but if I was a player (other than DCE) I would be far more motivated to perform if the fans were unwavering in their support. Yes we support...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    You can't begrudge a player prioritising their interests ahead of the club - especially when the club ham-fisted the offer like Manly did. I don't necessarily like the impact this has on the club, but the Club does this with 30 front-line players each year, and a myriad of lower-grade players...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Hello Silvertails, back in Aus and have been finally lured back by the drama after an off-season hiatus :) This whole situation is quite odd to be blunt, and In my view there are 3 dynamics at play here: (1) The Club defence angle: Mestrov needs to defend the club's position in all this...

    Jazz Tevaga to Manly 2025

    Buried in the Schuster-to-South article on the newscorp trash tabloids MANLY RECRUIT VERSATILE WARRIOR Manly have secured the services of experienced former Warriors forward Jazz Tevaga in a welcomed boost to their pack. A News Corp report confirmed the 29-year-old has signed with Sea Eagles...

    If we lose tonight.

    I kinda like that we have a Finals-emulation scenario now, with a 100% chance of finals still regardless of outcome. This week we play one of the 5-8 teams - away - that we will likely have to play in week 1 of finals, and then the following weekend we play a team 1-4 - Cronullla - who are...

    Pre-Game Raiders V Manly [Round 23, 2024]

    Good matchup. Lots of interesting storylines to watch: Simpkin vs Croker vs GCKT Simpkin has arguably his weakest game for us against the Rooters, whether you like his first few games or not, that's the reality. He wasn't great against Easts. Whereas Gordie had his most minutes against the...

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    Thanks for the great stats insight! Good pickup on the tackle effectiveness :) Frog has evolved his play from the previous 6 to the modern-day 9 really well. Simpkin has the benefit of time/youth, and has those qualities of well-drilled service with a low rate of error. For me, it boils down...

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    Good assessment. I find it interesting that Simpkin gets the week off and GCKT keeps the bench warm. Suggests to me either: (a) Simpkin's drop in performance for the Roosters game didn't go unnoticed by coach; and (b) Possibly Simpkin/Croker are seen as the interchangeable options with Gordie...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    Paseka is on track for his best season (proportionally) in terms of: Tackle Breaks Post-Contact Metres He is a bit down on 2023 in Metres gained overall, but that was his best year. Prior to 2023, his 2024 metres smash previous years. He has 7 years straight of Tackle efficiency between...

    Back 5 with Koula returning ?

    Turbo Saab Garrick Koula Talau This is the first-choice back 5 imo. Lehi Hoppa has been sensational, but is the easiest to drop given where each sits in their performance/careers. 2 of those are club-leaders (Turbo/Garrick) 2 are high-performers with big futures touted at the club (Koula/Saab)...

    Dummy half - 3 into 2

    When it comes to Dummy Halves, Simpkin's D is up there with Frog. Bit of a Squeeze on the screenshot sorry, but Simpkin's Minutes Played far-left near logo and Tackles Made far right column. Trust me when I say efficiency is not an issue (93.5%, with most tackles made of all 9's - bar Lawton...

    Pre-Game Manly V Knights [Round 19, 2024]

    This is the type of game that worries me. DCE / Jake out is arguably more important than the Knights losses - Ponga has been out most of the past few months anyway, Best has missed a bit too and Gagai is a better Origin player than clubman. TLT should be interesting! It's Hasting's 100th and...

    Turbo and Origin

    Turbo's post-game interview on ABC Grandstand was telling. He was flat, un-enthusiastic and unlikely to have seen his form as Origin-ready. He admitted he was gassed after 5mins, and from all accounts it was a fair self-assessment. It was suggested Madge would reach out to Turbo to ask...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Oh you silly thing! 🤪 this is how it rolls here - we credit DCE but point out he missed an earlier sitter which almost cost us the game, ignore his Maradona moment that got us the field possible for the pen goal, and lament the lack of urgency to shut down Drinkwaters 2pt FG. We then count...

    Game Day: Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

    Team updates finally, definitely some surprises in there. I'd probably have Talau in Centre and push Paulo to a wing. Schoupp moved to 2nd row instead of promoting Parker another surprise - guy plays his first game for us in a position he's never played, as a last-minute move. Where did he...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Some may take that as shade on Lawton @eaglebuzz - but you gotta hand it to the guy, he killed it when they shifted him to 2nd row to cover our forward losses, and luckily Simpkin was more than capable of owning our 9 jersey on his own. Lawton has always been somewhat of a versatility play...

    Next weeks team?

    While we will be long-odds of remaining in touch with the Bunnies this week, there is some interest in our depth, and progress on the 'next man up' depth of recent recruitment. I'd expect Schoupp has to play - if he can't win a spot with 14-15 players injured then why sign him. Guy seems a...

    Origin 1 - 2024

    Some thoughts on Origin 1 Game was over in 8th minute. I don't care about the 'team played brave' crap, you don't win origin with a man down - to do so devalues the whole concept. Qld might actually do it, but that's only coz they have such an inferiority complex north of the border. So the...

    Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

    I like that Madge has ignored the view of many pundits/commentators and just chosen players in form. Hard-nosed players that play with consistency, nobody 'picked on potential', aside from Nicho - who has earned it in Rounds 1-10 despite his team's flogging over the weekend which he was pulled...
