7 points squandered from games we were in control, would be top of the league without that! C is appropriate, not a good enough or consistent team yet, wins over Drizzle, Riff and Rorters undone by losing games from dominant positions, hope it does not cost us a top 8 spot!
We should be in first place, if we could just hold onto a lead. but being one win outside the top 4 is reasonable. The exciting thing for mine is that we beat the Storm without Turbo, that bodes well.
The two big improvements this year are that we are beating top sides and that our depth is the best it has been in a very long time.

It's a clear 'B' for me.
'A' would be top 4. Manly is top 8, has got some big scalps so far and been competitive throughout, which is an improvement on last year.
Which of course means diddly squat if they fall away in the back half of the comp. But I think we well placed to finish strongly, barring injury disaster of course.

It’s B for me, the wins against the Rorters and Panthers are a credit to the improvement from last season.
The Panthers and the Rorters are the teams to beat this season for me.

I guess it all depends on expectations.
I see some who had us 10-14th then rating us a C which is interesting.
I had us 4th to 10th and we are 1 point off either end of those positions.
Encouragely we have beaten some top teams and we have had some periods were we have looked amazing.
Nella, Haumole and Koula continue to improve. Talau has been better than expected. Burbo on average is improving and Garrick is slowly coming along at centre.
On the downside, our consistency not just between games but within games is a real concern and for me this is not a talent issue but a mentality one....we current have a soft underbelly.
Line speed and winning the ruck seem to have been issues the last 5 years and shows no sign of improvement.
I'd have us somewhere between a B and a C. Maybe a C+ or B- if I can be cheeky.......how about this. Its a C but if we upset the Panthers tjis week it becomes a B.

Underachieved thrown away 6 competition points
At least. Wins against Penrith and Storm were great but over shadowed by losses to lower teams.

Although the only losses we've had to lower teams are Saints and Eels. And the Eels weren't really a lower team at the time they beat us.
I am with you on this with B- or C+
Never assumed they would make the 8 of course it was possible .Seemed to have found some belief against better teams which is a huge advancement
But they are still one step forward , 2 steps back
Since 21 there has been talk of a premiership window by some., some have mentioned that brooks was recruited because of the window

B - , but of course could have been in the A range if Manly could have jagged say 3 wins out of those matches against the Eels , Warriors , Raiders and Dolphins and after establishing some pretty healthy leads in the i st half .
Brooks and Talau have offered improvement , Burbo doing better overall , getting much better value from Alioai so far and Browny when available , doing some good things .
Big downer with Turbo 's injury woes again , Saab missing quite a few now .
Really needed Lodge and Sipley to step up and only have Tofff now to manage it .
Ability and quality is there in the squad to move up the rating scale during the remainder of the season and also with a long overdue better run on the injury front

Leeds Rhinos and Manly Sea Eagles are rugby league's weirdos: and the stats prove it
Leeds Rhinos have had a shaky start to Super League in 2024. They, along with Manly, are rugby league's weirdos when it comes to style as the data shows..

Those games boost our rating but the games we were in front and fell apart and the games we should have won against teams fighting for the spoon cancel those two games out.
C form me.
C+
Better than C but not a B
Better than C but not a B
Let us B more Clear about this featherd friend
To B or not to B ?
I say Not to B and this is my clear Perspective .....
A is for Awesome the highest standard of Leading the comp
So this does not apply to Seibolds Team
B is for building consistency and dominating the top four
This also does not apply to Seibolds team
C is for top 8
So C is for Seibold who is hanging in the top 8 on 7th spot on his short and Curlies
