Nothing unusual about changes to the playing roster when a new coach comes in . Every coach has his preferred players . The players that they think will suit his teams playing style .

Also of note , there goes anything of value John Cartwright brought to our club.
Least we are now rid of Ferris and Myles.
Just have to lose Cartwright now. Seriously, what value does the guy add? No players. Our defensive coach (worst in the league last season). Laughs at the coach (try that with Des you Nuffy).
To think we had Matai / Lyon for years. ****.
Crusher, please find another one of those please.

I think young Hoppa will be the next big thing. Might need a little time during the year at Blacktown to adjust but I feel he is the real deal. Having Kelly moved on indicates to me that he is just starting to clear the decks. This won't be the last Ealge to be moved on I feel. Des moves quick and seems to have a plan in place to bring in the squad he wants. I trust his decisions what ever they are as I know it will bring success.
Young Hoppa will be a heart stopper . He has very big wraps and needs to be a priority signing . Des needs to make room under the cap to keep the players that he sees the club going forward . Des is a very experienced coach and knows what is requited to build the right team and the right culture .
Des may also see the ability of the young backs that we have and believes he can bring out the best in them . We certainly did under perform this season under Trent .
Players have been known to under achieve under different coaches .

How would Des know anything about Jade Anderson or Tevita Funa? Same as Garrick and the other guy.
I guess he has Cartwright and Randall to tell him, but yeah.
I'm starting to think it's Titanic Taufua and slow-mo-suli out wide. Dear Lord, imagine some of those opposition teams like The Chooks / The Storm & others versus us.
01. Tom Trbojevic
02.
03.
04. Dylan Walker
05.
06. Kane Elgey (kind of)
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
Is now pretty well the only first grade talent we have in that backline.
I think Des is more qualified to know about all those players than us mate . He would have seen them in action and made his assessment . I don't think Des has been living under a rock all this time .
No need to panic mate . Trent is gone

This is my 1 to 6 pick
3 ferraris and 2 bulldozers in the back line all fine tuned and ready to do the Eagle rock by Des
1. Albert Hoppa
2. Tuafua
3. Walker
4. Turbo
5. Suli
6. Kane
7. DCE
Who really knows what our line up will be ? Des does and that is fine by me
King Albert our local boy is known to be the most talented Hoppa product . Very exciting times indeed !

I'm pretty confident Des knows everything about the players at his disposal! A lot more than any of us know!
Jeez dont give him the kiss of death like u gave old Tommy W !
If Brian does depart the biggest loss will be this ST thread, it's been a staple for the past couple of years, a very consistent performer that rarely fails to amuse or outrage.
Funa did pretty well in 7 games of reserve grade - 5 tries 20 tackle busts. Pretty good in a losing team, for a Jersey Flegg aged kid.

Going to the Titans is a heavy cross to bear for Brian. Perhaps he'll come back and resurrect his career at Manly, I'm not going to crucify him for leaving. We should remember what he taught us.....

There is no A.I. Just better computers
We were all blessed by his time in god's country, I wouldn't mind a second coming in a year or two.
I'm Manly as it gets but a bit nervous about having prince Albert. Just don't see the need to change.
I was going to post some photos of prince Albert but.....
