Other Clubs in 2026

was just gonna ask about Xerri.. a very flanno type signature.. left ctr with Holmes on the wing perhaps?

However if Xerri has secretly already made a deal with the storm, we probably dont have a shot.. but maybe we will try atleast and out offer them... storm r hard to compete with though.. unfortunately as much as I enjoyed Lomax getting shafted... 1 less player in the game is a game of musical chairs that we usually end up losing.

Noticed Fale played left wing today also.. which I like because I dont think hes good enough for ctr at this point.. but pretty big athletic body on the wing.

Wonder if it would be a trade for a young forward?

You never know with Xerri, he's always been a bit sus. I dont know if I'd take him at the Dragons.

 

[Dave03]

Isn't he good mates with Kyle?

I don't know about being riddled with steroids or anything else he does off the field. I just don't rate what he does on the field. I'd prefer Suli and Holmes is way better.

Plus we have good juniors, wouldn't waste my time with him.

Xerri is a very good defensive centre but it seems like he lost his speed from the muscle he gained compared to his Shark days

 

[Mug Fan]

Xerri is currently signed with Matt Desira who is suspended for 6 months and can't negotiate with clubs, even if he changes managers he has to wait 3 months before he can sign a new contract.

Not sure if he can negotiate by himself while signed to Desira.

Jackson Shereb was on but cut from the Manly's extended bench. I thought he was done and dusted in the NRL. A big, athletic backrower who somehow never seemed to trouble the defence, even in the lower grades.

 

[RufusRex]

Isnt Desira part of Cove? are the arrangements with the individual manager at the agency or could Moses still represent him?

 

[Eric]

Basically all I am wanting to write about is what Bellamy has maintained for over a decade to do to make the Storm so consistent with being on top and giving some examples etc. It could be long winded like some of my posts, but as you know, when you have stuff on your mind you want to openly express it, especially if no-one at home cares to listen. LOL

Sounds interesting. I'd read it but wouldn't it be appropriate in this thread?

Just watched the Knights game, looks like Holbrook has got them moving in the right direction. They lost Ponga and Brown of all players for the complete 2nd half. There were no excuses that their defense collapsed they just continued to put the cleaners through Manly .

Ilias playing well for Gold Coast. Better than he ever did for the Dragons. Kicked a goal from the sideline. Ashton Ward ws also good for Souths. It almost feels like the coaches design that Dragons halves struggle.

I'm just wondering (which hurts) can anyone think of a player we have bought over the last 10 years that has improved being with us on their previous clubs.

Had a second half shocker.

Kyle Flanagan. He was never able to nail down a regular first grade spot before coming to us.

Paul Vaughan.

But I get your point, D dragonheart. We either keep signing players who are past their best, or we’re not improving them once they get here.

We don’t platform our players very well I feel, right now the strength of our team is the middles and hooker combo?

We don’t try and direct play from hooker it’s just 4 hitups and a kick with the occasional ball out the back in shape in the red zone with 2 of the least threatening spine players at 1 and 6

I’m interested to see how Mick Ennis adapts and develops the attack, listened to him after the manly v Newcastle game and he was very political especially towards manly and very careful with his choice of words. I’ve got a feeling he’ll end up back there next year or he’d like to be the HC there
