Tof Sipley

[KNUCKLES]

Toff needs to get off....
His arse and play for another contract elsewhere

It seems Sipley is a good man and to be honest I have personally wanted him to succeed in his career. One of those fringe guys who you just want to take that next leap to a bona fide NRL first grade player.

And in my view he actually got to that point sometime early last year for 4 or 5 games, before another injury came his way.

To me he has regressed this season and at age 30 his speed and lateral movement is just not good enough.

Surely this is his last season in maroon and white.

No worse than Jrbo!!!

The 4 week suspension is rough, so is having to watch Sipley play every week. Hopefully Navale steps up to replace him and that becomes a permanent switch

No worse than Jrbo….watching Jrbo play is like watching everything in slow motion. No go forward whatsoever. At least Sipley can break a tackle & makes yardage.

Same as Jrbo!

He is off-contract at the end of 2025.

Okay so, while it’s sad to see such a likeable character in Toff leave, it’s evident that the club is offloading underperformers, which can only be a good thing.

I think Sols is a good player just lacks consistency. I expect it’s time for him to have a run in super league. He has been a great clubman.

I hope this means we are looking to get a decent prop or edge

I think it's a given.
Daly is going, Turbos deals aren't too far off being renegotiated, so we'll get (one or even 2) good new forwards. And with Fogarty confirmed we'll still have an ace backline.

Looks like he has played his last game for us.... 3 game suspension

Yeah, posted this in the post-match thread, but I reckon he knew he was playing his last minutes in a Manly jersey when he came back on, which is why he played so hard. Full credit to him, but it's a real shame he won't get to go out with one last game at Brookvale.

I've always had a a soft spot for Sips. Great smile, always full of laughter and life, and seemed like a terrific guy to have around the club. Completely understand why it's good for him and the club to move on, and wish him nothing but the best in the UK.

Well said 👏👏👏

Just as well he is going to the UK, the nrl obviously have him on their hit list. One of my fav players and wish him all the best in old blighty

Good player whose performances never matched what could have been with him

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Farewell Sips , we could never doubt your efforts , hope all goes well in the ESL.

 

[Hertera]

Can't say I will miss him. Time to promote some youth. Wish him the best in the UK it seems his standard.

 

[Highflier]

Good luck Sippers ,you have always played hard for Manly to the limits of your ability and hope you will be there at the end to walk around the oval and be applauded
Good luck in the UK

The suspension is a fu<king joke! De Bellin doesn’t even make it on the judiciary list. Crichton can eye gouge & gets a slap!
Anyway great clubman, great player for the team & always gave his all. Wishing you a good few years in the SL.
PS….don’t worry about the comments from the flogs on here that know jack$hit about league!!!

Because of his history they target him, plus he doesn’t play for one of the protected clubs.
