It's an interesting one. Sipley and Paseka showed some good signs last year but the mentality of a front rower in a premiership side must be more than just 'doing a job'. One thing about JWH, from the very start of his career he's taken it upon himself to influence the result. JFH and Leota have that same mentality too. After taking a number of years to build their games at NRL level, Sipley and Paseka are physically and skill-wise up to the job, they just need to take on that mindset that they are going to set up the wins for Manly.

Only thing Paseka Sipley and Lodge are missing to make us one of the best packs in the comp is consistency. The ceiling is there they just need to raise their floor. The best props in the game never play below an 8/10.

Capitan and the Deputy back in town. It's an experienced squad all of a sudden. What Seibold has done well. When u look at the squad. There should be no excuses. It's has to be go time.

Speaking of El Capitan…

'El capitan' as he's known here in bogarra.

Yep that's him, he's aged a little in the off season but we all know our Capitan Turtle is getting on a bit in years.

I was talking to Tony Mestrov this morning. He mentioned the squad is on a week long camp.
I’m guessing it could be the army camp to shed the Christmas kgs.

Edit - Looks like the boys are at the AIS Canberra

Thank you @The Wheel

“Caleb showed his real potential at the Pacific Championships. He has been spending time training with the NRL squad this pre-season and will spend more during the season,’’ Seibold said.

“We want to help Caleb achieve his potential. We want to see him compete for a spot in our NSW Cup team next season.”
End quote

How about helping this Beautiful Black Beast compete for a spot in our bottom of the 8 NRL pack Seibs ?
I am sure he would offer more than the underwhelming Woods
Last season Woods NRL input mirrored our bottom of the 8 packs impact
Woods impact had no Winning leadership , No inspiration and No Hands on field dominance
Woods looked like just making the numbers on the field without making any impact at all
Woods was so slow , lethargic and sluggish . He looked out of place a NRL Sea eagle

The moral of the Seibs story
We need Impact players in our 2024 NRL pack
We dont need Woods to fill an NRL spot

gordys game style is more suited as a 14 as an elusive darting hooker with a fast tempo compared to humphreys who's a more classy starting hooker with a great passing and kicking game and has bulked up for defence. I think gordy will be a better 14 and humphries a better 9 and will be for the future after croker hangs up the boots
