Sipley over aloiai next week.I am under the view Seibold has improved the squad this season and his selection of Hoppa this season shows he will make tough decisions on players performance.
I do think he could have made some changes in the middle today when we were getting dominated after Lodge and Tent went off, 36 minutes of Alioia, Brown and Jake didn’t work.
The bench was not as effective today and the last couple of games Bully has had reduced minutes, the make up of having three middles on the bench going into next week could change, definitely if we get the Sharks again Sipley should be considered over Brown or Alioia for me, horses for courses approach.
For a so-called leader amongst our forwards, Aloiai was nowhere to be seen today. Very disappointing.Sipley over aloiai next week.
Thought they dominated us when Alioia, Jake, Brown, Lawton and Guaca were on the paddock together, only Guaca stood up and got us over the advantage line, Jake and Browns post contract meters were extremely poor today.Sipley over aloiai next week.
Also dodged a question (which was poorly expressed anyway) about our leaky defence, saying that the game has changed and you don't see many 12-6 results these days.

You mean like Kevvie?did anyone observe in the presser when the reporter asked Seibold if he thinks they have what it takes to go all the way, his tone and hesitation is not what you want in a coach at a press conference,should back his team in a stern matter with confidence
After leaking 96 points in last 3 games he would choke if he said yes. Reality is we still can't tackle and to say we've improved on last year is only down to Turbo playing 17 games this year compared to 11 last year. Nothing else has changed.did anyone observe in the presser when the reporter asked Seibold if he thinks they have what it takes to go all the way, his tone and hesitation is not what you want in a coach at a press conference,should back his team in a stern matter with confidence
I mean we are where we should be... 6th or 7th...do you think we have a better team than the squads above us?After leaking 96 points in last 3 games he would choke if he said yes.

Without Turbo I think we have a squad that should finish between 10th to 13th. With Turbo 5th if he plays 20 plus games. We're nowhere near the top 4.I mean we are where we should be... 6th or 7th...do you think we have a better team than the squads above us?
Think that's pretty spot on.Without Turbo I think we have a squad that should finish between 10th to 13th. With Turbo 5th if he plays 20 plus games. We're nowhere near the top 4.
Turbo will never get 20 games a season again.Without Turbo I think we have a squad that should finish between 10th to 13th. With Turbo 5th if he plays 20 plus games. We're nowhere near the top 4.
When will Manly accept the fact that Croker is completely inadequate at dummy-half. Lacks speed and any suggestion of evasiveness. Service is also far to predictable. On balance is marked negative for Manly.He only got 35 minutes and run for over a hundred metres and made 19 tackles (0 missed).
I dont think any of the forwards played bad even though they were completely dominated by a better side. That happens.
We dont seem to have the right mix. Why is Nathan Brown used as a ball player? Thats one big question I have. But I think we have got our starting props rights with Lodge and Paseka.
Hooker needs sorting, we really need Crockers defence but we must have a better attacking option and sadly Simpkin seems completely out of favour and not even named in the squad the last few weeks.
In my opinion we have no attack if Tom doesnt play and our defence falls apart.
Turbo will never get 20 games a season again.
We are better than Canterbury, but not the top five. The 'Boys have an excellent squad on paper, and when they are switched on they could beat anyone. Easts have by far the best squad on paper, but hopefully the saying "money buys success" doesn't come true this season. Melbourne has some great players but its strength is 'average' players getting the maximum from themselves plus an inspirational coach. Penrith surely can't keep winning when their squad is decimated after each premiership. Surely.I mean we are where we should be... 6th or 7th...do you think we have a better team than the squads above us?
5 years of futility, under 2 different coaches who appear to rate him an NRL standard dummy half.When will Manly accept the fact that Croker is completely inadequate at dummy-half. Lacks speed and any suggestion of evasiveness. Service is also far to predictable. On balance is marked negative for Manly.
