    Sack Seibold Immediately

    What an absolute f@#king clown show. This has Scott Penn's "leadership" from afar all over it. Seven-minute interviews? Assessment sheets listing each player's deficiencies as a rugby league player? Leaks to both the Murdoch press and Nine? Not even @God can help us out of this one.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Maybe the catering budget at 4 Pines Park can only take the hit for another couple of years…

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I agree, but I still think it's almost a certainty that he'll be at the Roosters next year. And really, while the most important thing for Manly supporters is that he won't be at our club, I'd be a little upset if another fanbase - especially the Roosters' fanbase - didn't get to experience the...

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    Ooh, awesome! I feel so much more confident now we've called in the auditors. Seriously, can any of these key stakeholders teach our boys how to tackle? Or to give a sh#t about their performances? Otherwise it's just more blather and noise.

    Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Agreed, SER8. As much as many of us would love to see it, dropping our captain to reserve grade would only set the club up for a media beatdown. He will be here for the year and we all need to deal with it. But it's wild how quickly opinions can change. At the end of last season, and even at...

    The Manly Way

    Can't say they haven't had a lot of learning opportunities, can they?

    The Haumole Bible.

    Without Haumole, our pack just got even less intimidating than it already was. There is no way to replace him because he really is a one of a kind. But surely it's as good an opportunity as any to give somebody coming through the ranks a shot instead of Chee Kam or Waddell. Navale? Patolo? Anyone?

    We keep talking about changing the team ... what about this lot?

    It's taking the easy option, every single time. We have no desire to be involved in "the grind" of rugby league at all. All we want to do is score tries, off every single play. We are, in three simple words, soft as f#@k. And it's probably just a coincidence that those same three words also...

    Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

    Well, at least this thread should be mercifully free of posters confidently predicting the huge number of points we'll be putting on this week's sub-standard opposition…

    Tom Turbo .. interesting if true

    If you still think he can come good, then yes, it's a difficult decision. His ceiling is so high that it seems crazy not to make allowances for him. But I'm just not sure there is any timeline remaining in the NRL multiverse where Tommy is 100% fit. It feels like these days he lands somewhere on...

    All NRL Games [Round 15, 2025]

    The idea that they would replace the best young halfback talent in the NRL with a 38 year-old was always ludicrous.

    The Silvertail's optimism pulse 2025.

    Seeing as though we now have a thread titled "We are [the] Laughing stock of the NRL" and are sitting a lofty two points above last place, I'm guessing any remaining optimism is down to the effects of prescription medication.

    The Clean Out 2025 Edition

    Yeah, I doubt it's just about one thing as well. I don't know any more than anyone else and can only speculate. But he's clearly unhappy and it's affecting the team. Watching the press conference after the game last night, I actually felt sorry for him, even though I believe the situation he...

    Wooden Spoon

    "Off the boil" is putting it a little too kindly. He is the captain of our club and he seems completely disinterested in doing anything that might help the side to win. He is dragging down everyone around him and seems determined to get Seibold sacked before he himself moves on. It's a total...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I still maintain the greatest crime he committed here were those tan-coloured cowboy boots. I mean, WTF was he thinking?

    Tom Turbo .. interesting if true

    It is indeed a head scratcher. Mentioned in another thread, but I think DCE's shenanigans may be weighing heavily on both Tom and Jake. But that could merely be a manifestation of my own disgust with Cherry and a willingness to blame everything on him:-)

    The Trbojevic era is over

    I know the signs haven't been great for both Jake and Tom for a few years (I'm leaving Ben out of this for now), but their form this season has really fallen off a cliff. Not sure what to put it down to (aside from age and injury, wear and tear), especially considering how good Tommy was for...

    Post-Game Discussion Titans V Manly [Round 15, 2025]

    I have missed the last three games because I have been travelling. And those three weeks have been the happiest I have been all year. Sure, the travel was fun, but not having to watch this sh#t sandwich of a team was the real highlight. No idea what compelled me to watch them tonight, because I...

    Passion for the club

    If that's the only way to remove him as our starting hooker (and it seems like it is), I am all for it.

    Wooden Spoon

    It's the complete lack of fight that terrifies me. They show up and, for some reason, expect a win. And as soon as it becomes clear that they will have to work for it, they give up. For all the speed, for all the "weapons" we supposedly have out there, they are really, really bad at playing...
