He is a different style Hooker than Hands but Hands is more steady. But as you say better off just starting Smith as the starting Hooker gets 20 min spell and thats it.
Can't honestly see JAC making that much difference. Really need some good signings. Lane, Offa, Lussick all below average as is Paulo, Brown is too busy counting down the year and the $$ and has his mind elsewhere. Very average side. Really need a few X Factor, mongrel type players to make any dent in this year's premiership. Could take at least 2 years or longer to turn all this around
Fox wont win it for us. But last week if we scored from one of the many opportunities in the first half it could have been a different game. Interested to see how hawkins goes and at least we know the fox can finish
Fingers crossed Hawkins is better than he looked last week in Reggie's. He didn't look like a bloke sufficient for the NRL. Maybe just settling in to a new club. I still hold reservations considering Bennett didn't offer him a contract and went for the young kid from Manly and Sullivan.
"Manly under Seibold: 0-3, 60-98 (-38) vs Raiders, Knights, Chooks
Manly post-Seibold: 3-0, 118-42 (+76) vs Dolphins, Dragons, Cowboys.
Manly have doubled their points-for and halved their points-against post-Seibold. Obviously if the Eels wish to…"
"Seems it is Galvin's role at Dogs that is the issue, not necessarily Galvin per se? Galvin permanently replaced Sexton at #7 for Dogs in Round 20 of 2025. After 19 rounds going into Round 20, Dogs were 3rd (12 wins, 4 losses, 3 byes; 366 (f) vs 270…"
"Thanks mate. The Manly team are shit to be fair. They are coming last in JF with no SG ball players in the team still.
Jordan Rankin has been doing a great job recently. He deserves a massive shout out."
"Yeah they won 70% of the twenty games prior to Galvin's arrival and only 50% in the twenty games since he arrived. It is all Gus' fault. He needs to admit he made a mistake. Everyone else is already thinking it so he needs to man up and admit it.…"

Yea true but I don't think Lussick will make a difference

Eels 13 plus
🤔 maybe 🤔
JAC should make a huge difference. Russell and Penisini together are a massive liability

Tigers were so much faster than us out wide. Jac brings some much needed speed. Between penisi, samrani and russell we had a very slow backline
Agree Jiver, get Simmo on the other wing when he is fit
