    Steve Menzies

    Does it annoy anyone else that Beaver hasn’t been mentioned while giving DCE praise for becoming the most capped Manly player? I love DCE and Cliffy, don’t get me wrong. But Steve Menzies had no choice when the Norther Eagles came into the comp. He never left our great club and played 349 NRL...

    Hooker and 2nd Row

    It looks like there are a some big selection decisions to be made! Humphreys v GCKT for the 14 role, who gets the nod? Burbo v Schuster for the left edge? I’m really torn, I want them all in the team.

    Breakout Star of 2024

    Who do you think will be Manly’s breakout star of 2024? We don’t have many young guys in our top 30 and very few who haven’t debuted yet, so I thought I’d leave it open to interpretation rather than focusing on the rookie-factor. For me, I’ve got a feeling we’ll start seeing the best of Burbo...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Where does everyone see Jamie Humphreys in our future? I’ve always had high hopes for him in the halves, very talented and has the athletic attributes. In recent seasons he seems to have been moved around a bit between the halves and hooker, and judging by the pre season photos he’s certainly...

    Sio Siua Taukeiaho

    It looks like his deal with the Dogs has stalled… I wonder if we would get in the mix. Potentially a swap for Aloiai? At his best Taukeiaho is one of the top props, but potentially past it? He’s 31, might have another 2 good years...

    Recruiting mongrel

    One criticism of our pack in recent years is it’s lacked mongrel and aggression. Since we lost AFB, Haumole has been the only guy who really takes it to the opposition. Guys like Jake and Paseka are good players, but they’re too nice! It seems we are trying to correct the balance with...

    Hooker

    Unpopular opinion around these parts but I don’t believe hooker is such a big problem for us. Have a look at the two grand final teams. Would you swap Croker for Walters or Kenny? Maybe, maybe not. You certainly wouldn’t get a massive upgrade or revolutionary improvement in our side. In fact...

    Effort areas the big difference

    It hurts me to finally crack and write something negative about Schuster. He seems like a great person with so much potential who I desperately want to succeed. In saying that, the effort areas of Jacob Arthur and Ben Turbo have been a huge reason why we’ve looked like a better team in the last...

    Pick your team (end of season)

    With lots of exciting young players coming through, I’m interested to see what everyone predicts our best 17 will be by the end of the 2023 season. Plenty of hard decisions to make but this is what I came up with: Turbo Saab Koula Parker Garrick Schuster DCE Jurbo GCKT Paseka S. Fainu Mole...

    Who plays left edge backrow?

    You’d have to think that Mole has the right edge backrow position wrapped up given his combo with DCE, but who plays on the left? Des favoured Davey, Schu, or Lawton. All of which are unlikely to play that position this year. Options on the roster include: Tuilagi Burbo Lawton Parker Seems...

    Will any youngsters step up this year?

    I’m excited to see some of our young players get a crack this year. What does everyone think of the likes of S. Fainu, V. Fifita, Tuitavake, GCT, Humphreys? I’ve got a hunch that at least one of them will make the top grade. My tip is Fifita.

    Have the top 30 rules changed?

    My understanding of the top 30 is that we couldn’t play anyone outside of that group without an exemption due to excess injuries. However, the club has been announcing signings on the website that don’t appear to be in the top 30. Guys like Johns, Toby, Roache, Diaz, Matterson… I’m guessing...

    Club injury updates

    Why does our club keep the fans in the dark about injuries so much? As soon as Tom is injured there is a press release, but not a single word about anyone else. I still haven’t heard an official statement on Parker from last week. Did he have Covid? What about Schuster? What about Walker...

    NRL players in the Blacktown team?

    Unless the team list hasn’t been updated, it doesn’t look like any of the NRL squad are having a run for Blacktown tonight. Anyone know why? I would’ve thought some guys could use the game time.

    Leg Speed and Momentum Through the Ruck

    We are really struggling to generate any momentum through the ruck. It’s so crucial in the modern game to create space for the edges. Turbo and Walker are the two guys in our team that poke their head through the line and get a quick play of the ball consistently every week. Lawton showed...

    Tuipulotu vs Harper

    There are lots of calls for Des to pick Koula. And while I love his speed and potential, he’s very raw and I think he needs to be brought on slowly. For mine, Christian Tuipulotu is the man for the job at right centre. He’s a big body and would really help us coming out of our own end...

    Clubs are all over our juniors

    It looks like our successful pathways program has become a feasting ground for other clubs. We are starting to lose a few good prospects. Feledy (Tigers), Dunford (Raiders), Sione Fainu rumoured to the Tigers. I guess that’s what happens when you produce a lot of quality, but it’s annoying to see.

    Sione Fainu leaving?

    There is a rumour on Twitter that Sione Fainu will be at the Tigers in the next fortnight. I’ve not seen a lot of him play but given the family connection it’s a bit worrying. Anyone heard more?

    Will any of our youngsters crack the 17 this season?

    Last year Guac and Schuster locked down starting positions after beginning the season on the edge of the top squad. Will any of our exciting prospects do the same this year? If so, who? The trial last night got me excited for the future with Koula, Gordie, Weekes, Tui, and Humphries all...

    Is this what I think it is?

    At first glance it looks like Lawton is wearing the number 11 jersey in the latest Instagram story from the club. But you can’t 100% make out the second number. What does everyone think?
