Menzies goes into bat for Manly

[mozgrame]

MANLY legend Steve Menzies has gone into bat for the biggest targets for criticism after the Sea Eagles’ failed 2016 campaign.

After a massive off-season roster and football department overhaul, a top eight finish was considered the bare minimum for Trent Barrett and his new side, littered with big money recruits.

Whatever it reads I agree 100%, Beaver being my all time fave Eagle I take his word as gospel

 

[nightster]

Beaver the diplomat

 

[tookey]

Sounds like he is now on the penns payroll

if 2017 is similar to 2016 then the club could always have another cull of players and coaching staff

 

[The Who]

Nice try Beaver, but this is just PC (Penn Correctness) talk.
If we need someone to be a morale booster off the field - as it appears we are paying Mr Plod to be - then I can think of many better options....

I agree with him, except about myles. If anyone thinks that having a the injuries didn't affect us, they are kidding themselves. Missing players in key roles kills any team. Storm without Cronk or smith, cowboys without Thurston. Barrett deserves a chance to prove himself, Bellamy would not have been able to help us make the finals last year.

I haven't read the article but I agree with everything he says.

He is on his payroll, that's why its an upbeat story.

He said he rated Myles performance last season. I love Beaver as much as the next bloke but he's either lying or concussions are catching up with him.

Yep I feel nauseous tbh whenever I hear 'Myles is fantasticcccccccc with all the players OFF the park helping and guiding them blah blah blah' . Well u know what??? Talk is cheap. He's paid $500k annually PRIMARILY to help us win games of footy ON the park. We have coaches paid to sort players out off field with motivation and skills. He was brought in to lead and inspire in games and gave us absolutely zero in that regard. Ok so hes not gonna charge 150 metres a game but ffs at least show some fire in the belly and look like u actually give a damn. Rant over

Didn't Steve and Nate go out for drinks years back with a goat and a Polaroid camera?

 

[mozgrame]

I wish Menzies would stop letting Matty Johns make him look like a dickhead on his show. All in the name of humour and fun? F**k off! It's beneath him. Such a classy player and bloke.

Oh well...

That's all very interesting but who won the rib eating contest?

That was Trent and Nate

I know he's got to earn a crust but surely the Beaver is more class than this!!

I never watch it, or that stupid footy show.

But I don't mind Lara Pitt, actually I don't mind her much at all!!!

Thanks Bill.

Penns planting a few seeds. Top 8 or Baz is gone:. He has not proved he has the ability to make players respond. Interesting comments.

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Beaver has made an idiot of himself on FOX-good luck to him getting the $$$, but seriously, he has made himself as legitimate as Larry from the 3 stooges. Plus, he will say whatever Penn wants him to say....end of story

 

[double hoops]

@mozgrame I'm a bit concerned about the new Avatar Moz. Your not going to jump ship are you?;-) Will the Tits send players north as part of the new partnership?

It makes me sad to agree with you but spot on!
