Club News 2023

[tookey]

If the club maintains the Brisbane sell-off match after 2024 then it will confirm our owners favour money over community. I've attended all three Mudgee matches and made the event a cherished long weekend. The townspeople appreciate our support, so let's hope it's back on the schedule in 2025.

Penn has always favoured money over supporters Ask leagues club members

Doubt many here will go to Las Vegas whereas heaps would go to Mudgee

Agree that Mudgee is much better for the supporters but then again when does the club care about us

Las Vegas is about Penn swanning around in the US with his team

He has forgotten that we usually lose our first game each year

Penn needs to sell and go away for good as the club has been largely a disaster since he took over full ownership

Apparently there's a new home jersey and new logo. Anyone seen it. I'm looking at you @The Wheel

😐

Hope the home jersey hasn’t changed too much. Has been the best looking jersey we’ve had in a long time.

No different coloured sponsors please. Maroon and white only.

Just spotted at my local Brookvale cafe mestrov meeting with Brent read for an informal chat as I was getting my coffee they were discussing USA trip next year before I had to leave.

Not club news just wanted to put this out there as just a passing observation.

What's he seeking? Better performance for his car?

Has he bought a new Toyota and wants to improve its performance? I'd stick with the Turbocharged Saab 😉

Interesting, but more importantly, I wonder if Read got the goss on Haumole's contract extension.

Surely the club have something up their sleeve, not just all this driftwood they’ve been signing.
If they don’t man we have not progressed the past 5 years at all.

I believe we are close to signing Aiden Tolman out of retirement.

Surely there has to be. I am guessing that once Nov 1 rolls around, we will sign someone of note for 2025. As everyone says, not much stock on the shelf for 2024

only good players that Manly will look for will be;

• Turuva or Taylen May and play them on the wing instead of tuipilotu
• Best at left centre meaning pushing garrick to wing but i recon too expensive
• Tass to play left centre and Garrick on wing but then lacking yardage in back 5
• Kodi Nikorima but only as depth in halves and potentially hooker especially if either croker or gordy go
• Then for forwards there is only middle forwards that we already have like max king, terrell may and whyte which can all be decent sigings but won't gain us too much as we will be looking for a lock as Jake is becoming too slow loosing mobility to play lock.
• Tohu Harris will be too expensive
• Piakura maybe a decent pick up but don't believe he is currently starting lock quality.

All together don't think too many signings will be made between not and next 2 seasons. The quality of the squad will have to improve through pre seasons and trainings to help us becoming a consistent top 8 team and pushing top 4

Funny and horrifying all at once. But surely if Tolman is resurrected by anybody, it'll be Des at the Titans.

We just need Tom to play a full season!

Just sayin’

YES!!

Alfred Naupoto has done excellent work for the sea eagles this season. Looking forward to seeing his content in 2024.

Manly already has its own Tolman in Jake T.

Manly already has its own Tolman in Jake T.

I love Jake but it's hard to argue. He is our most important player when we don't have the ball but offers less and less with the ball with every passing season. If he was an NFL player and only had to play defence he would be in the all star team every year. If we swapped him for another 850k forward I'm not sure we'd be better off.
