2026 Season

[krustykraz]

games like these ones really show when you don’t have wingers who get good metering post contact

Hopa had 83pcm.
Hes a really strong runner for a little fella.

Most likely the club is being extra cautious, but its also a free interchange for 15 minutes as well. That may also factor into it

Yes, that's fair, but IDK, it would not shock me if Manly were desperately looking for an off-ramp when they should have done something about the situation after his last major head knock. They don't seem to be a very well-run club.

Congrats to former Knights' assistant Willie Peters on becoming the inaugural coach of the PNG Chiefs.

PNG Chiefs inaugural coach decided after four-way race

The deal is a long one.

What was Willie's relationship with KP like?

It also doesn’t help their meters when they keep using Paseka as a decoy. He’s the biggest guy in the team

Yea agree that was a weird one, been criminally under-utilised all season even against us

 

[frankLauda]

Great comeback from the Tigers at half time! Not good for my tipping!

 

[frankLauda]

Another note, KPP scored 6 tries in his NRL career so far. 3 of them with the Tigers in 4 games. Haha

Great comeback from the Tigers at half time! Not good for my tipping. Lol

Yep they have plenty of outs, but showing us how to compete!

I think, Luai and May in the centres are out.

 

[Die Hard]

No way Tigers will take the throne in nz

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Tigers mysteriously playing really well with Luai out eh?

If I speak…

Yep surely Warriors will run over the top of them ?

 

[Seano]

Seibold gone?

 

[Macca89]

Yeh they sacked him

 

[Macca89]

Sea Eagles sack Seibold after three games of NRL season

Manly have sensationally sacked Anthony Seibold just three games into their 2026 campaign.

[Seano]

So much for 8 weeks before they make a call...that said, they've started the season abysmally.


PS. Who could want that poisoned chalice....Manly is also facing a major lawsuit over the death of Keith Titmus...the club is a world of trouble. Normally love to hate Manly, but it would be a shame to see them fold.

 

[krustykraz]

Why do clubs seem to sack coaches shortly after extending them?
He is 3 games into a 2 year extension.
Bad business.

I agree he's a terrible coach though.

I thought we were going well with the warriors and could have beaten them if we weren't reffed out of the game.

Seibold will probably be like AOB for a bit, shouldn’t have an issue getting an assistant coach job…maybe there was bad feedback from the playing group.

I wouldn’t really give a stuff personally after the fallout with the Bears lol.

Willie Peters spewing didn’t wait a bit

 

[Macca89]

I had Payten going first

 

[Seano]

Shame we didn't get these Warriors last week.

My first move as the new Manly coach, drop Jurbo to the bench as a rotation prop (and team mascot). I'd be tempted to drop Luke Brooks to 14 as well.
