Official 2026 NRL General Discussion

[Sir Chadley]

Can anyone see Manly bouncing back tonight?

I'll give you a sensible answer. I think the Dolphins might give them a bit of a touch up.
Actually that's not so sensible considering the last few posts.

Put it this way. I think Manly will get thrashed!

I think they might get the positive effect of the coaching change. But not in the long run.

They're **** but at least they're competing. It's a **** roster, you can't turn that around in a year or 2.

If he keeps picking his son and they continue to lose.fans will.lose their sheet.
Will be interesting to see how the replacement goes.
What if he has a BLINDER ?

He didn’t when he came on for Flanju

But if he does have a few weeks of BLINDER Kyle probably goes to bench.

If he doesn’t, and BLINDER gets benched, I imagine there’ll be a lot of pressure

He should have picked him anyway, just to continue to troll the fanbase.

Haha that would have been so good

Never seen Flanno rattled like that before .

Felt for him .

Some clubs don’t fit for some people and this might be the case here ..

At one point not to long ago, there were a select few who wanted to replace Fitz with flanno

I feel Flanno would go OK with our squad, he does have the runs on the board

The NRL has to stop getting the Bunker involved in so many tries, if the referee awards a fair try, no try they've got to stop getting the bunker involved, confirming every single try. If the referee isn't sure why can't they start what was years ago called the "Video referee" which was fair enough.

Don’t check the recent board

To clarify - you want the tries to get checked if the ref isn’t sure, that’s fine. But if he’s sure but wrong you think that is definitely worth preserving?

As long as bunker gets vast majority right it’s fine imo

Until the lack of review goes against us. When a clanger is scored against us, awarded a try and a minute after the conversion the broadcaster finds another angle that shows it should not have been a try. But bunkers hands are tied because the ref was confidently wrong.

Am I alone in thinking that the Erin Clarke penalty try was ridiculous not only because the alleged infringement was laughable but because Tricky had grounded the ball anyway?
