The Manly Way

"James Maloney is backing his former club, the Penrith Panthers, for a five-peat and believes the key ingredient to their success is pretty simple — fitness."

James Maloney reveals early signs that set Nathan Cleary up for greatness... and why Panthers can achieve five-peat

Sounds so simple yet so true.

But the 'psychological' aspect of fitness must play a huge part. I suspect if you took simple measurements of time trials, weights lifted, endurance etc then at least all the leading clubs, if not all NRL clubs, would be within a ball park for fitness. I think Seibold is doing his best to address the psychological aspect through all the focus on connection within the squad and tweaking mindset.

Barring injury catastrophe I'm expecting* Manly to surge into the top 4 this year!

Should be a good one

According to some it will be all fluff and just full of high 5s. But they still watch it.

honestly that was a bit of a flop ep, poor production quality and very short - bit disapointing

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I thought it was great and we'll win the comp!

Seibs looked angelic.....

These episodes give us a lot more than we used to get in the pre-season. On that fact alone, they are well worth the watch.

I must say I do enjoy & appreciate the club giving us behind the scenes access and all but do agree last seasons content seemed much better

Probably different people doing it. I agree last season was better but I still like watching.

Just interesting to see which players were used. Think I spotted Patolo and Navale.
If this is Navren he's got a fair leap on him

As the saying goes...you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. In other words, each to their own.

Personally, I love it.

Anyone notice how far off the space Jurbo was in the shuttle sprints? I worry for his athleticism in today’s game

 

[Wombat64]

Love it . Thanks Manly. Bring on season 2025....

The reason Jake must go to prop and play shorter stints. He is great in the opening exchanges to lock down our defence but can’t be the 80min player he once was.
Absolutely love Jakey but his roll has to change. I say his next contract offer will reflect this at a heavily discounted rate.

I'm less concerned about position with our current squad but I do think he should drop to 55-60 minutes.


Confirmation of no Turbo, Jake, DCE, Brooks and Olakau'atu for trials

Pretty sure that’s Koula. A few players had different numbers to usual (e.g. Simpkin in the number 1 jersey) and Tolu was wearing number 2.
