Red zone attack has been poor , stupidly the club centred all the attack around LG not the 4 time premiership winner I assume to keep LG happy . Now he’s gone they have started from scratch , poor JL has had 3 halves partners in 16 games . hopefully settling on latu will improve it.

I keep asking around abt the To’a extension because I’m worried we will lose him , but people keep saying it’s done so idk.

4 halves partners AD, Galvin, Mason, Latu. This is a real issue and hopefully its settled for the rest of the season with Latu at 7.

Haha if TDS to Dogs happens - someone needs to investigate Gus, cause none of it is above board.

When is the jailed Fainu out?

Well,, if TDS does go to Dogs in 2026 (or earlier), wouldnt it make very suss The Dogs telling Mahoney to move on a few weeks ago before any of the TDS things became open? Why doesnt the NRL investigate such very odd / opportunistic events happening as trigger events in the next steps to happen?

Good luck getting the NRl to investigate old Darth Gould. Be like taking on the death star with a limp bit of celery. He has too many sycophants and buddies. Was nice to see at least one journo has some cojones with Galvout though.

Manly shopping Aaron Schoupp.
I think he’d be worth a look for the rest of this season as a back up centre/back row option.
He has a fair bit of NRL experience when he was at the Bulldogs a few years back, he’s a strong ball runner who regularly makes his 150 plus metres per game and not afraid to do the hard hit ups out of his own end.

Aaron Schoupp v Kayliss Fatialofa in NSW Cup on Saturday afternoon. May the winner of this backrow duel receive a few hours of 'let's get him to the Tigers for backrow depth' in this thread! C'mon Fats!

TDS to follow Galvin to the Bulldogs it seems.

I don’t care what anyone says but this is the wrong decision to let this kid walk.

Do you think they're 'letting him walk'?

My understanding is that they want him to stay and he wants to stay, but he will not continue to wait long enough for the transition from Api.

I don't care what anyone says, someone willing to walk away from his childhood club, where he wants to stay and who want to keep him because he's being asked to play a smaller role a little longer, to the betterment of both his own experience and the club itself, only to then almost be guaranteed the starting role a year later in 2028 or otherwise.... is the wrong decision by Tallyn.

Like, almost laughably bad.

He'll be 22 at the start of the 2028 season. Twenty-two.

And, if he's good enough, he should be backing himself to win the hooking role of Api earlier.

It's just woeful, woeful stuff from the TDS camp in my opinion. It's non-sensical and really poor advice from Tartak if he's recommending a change.

There HAS to be more to it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think there's every chance we sound out Manase following his sentence and that we see him on a T and T in 27 alongside his brothers. He's eligible for parole in October next year, will be only 28 years old for the 2027 season, hasn't had the wear and tear of week in week out first grade for the past 6 years and originally, was that good that he forced Api out of Manly.

Maybe Tallyn sees the writing on the wall competing with Manase, Haywood and Api, the same way that many are suspecting Galvin did with Latu. Maybe its a case of the HM crew from back in the day being a little too egoist for their own good.

Who knows.

Large bros and Galvin had one common factor- overbearing parents with excessive interference and demands on the club and coaching staff for their children. It got to the stage, no matter how accommodating the club was, it was never good enough. Hence they were allowed to go. Good riddance.

Galvin generally may have been a unique case , as I don’t believe he was ever going to stay here … but expect a lot of these kids and their parents to be overbearing …its part of the clubs brief to be able to handle them and get positive outcomes out of them…Im sure Richo has dealt with their ilk all his life

Benji makes no secret how much he loves Api…. I’ve heard him say several times that he is the best player in the side …maybe TDS feels he won’t get a fair go … I mean that might not necessarily be the case but thats he way he feels? He knows better than us though , so I guess he will make the call that he believes is best for him

I also suspect money is an issue as well….if he goes and becomes the No 1 somewhere else , he is going to earn more money than being the No 2 here ..
