Des Hasler retiring
For no other reason than they simply needed each other - i.e. Manly had no coach and were desperate for one; and Des had no job and was desperate for one. It was a pure and simple marriage of convenience between two parties that couldn't stand each other. (and at the very first opportunity...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Des Hasler retiring
That's absolutely right! Penn and co. low-balled Des, took him for granted and just assumed because he bleeds Maroon and White that he'd be happy to stick around and just accept whatever was offered to him instead of paying the man what he was worth (for Fk's sake he just won us two...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good
What isn't a myth is this: the fact that EVERY premiership we have ever won, we have won it with a "Manly man" at the helm. Furthermore, any and every time we've had a non-Manly man here at the helm, it's been nothing other than a failed experiment - cases in point: Phil Lowe, Peter Sharp...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

The Manly DNA
was just listing who amongst the current crop of Head Coaches/Assistant Coaches has Manly DNA as viable options. Personally I had no problem with how we were travelling in Des's second stint here at Manly. We were going ok, headed for the top 8 with 7 games of the season remaining and then the...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
I wonder if there was a time-keeper in these meetings with a stopwatch making sure that no meeting went over (or under) the seven minute mark.- Raven Mad Manly Fan

The Manly DNA
Some options to have a Manly man as our next coach could include: (a) Des Hasler; (b) Nathan Cleary; (c) Matt Ballin; (d) Chad Randall; (e) Michael Monaghan. But yes, I agree with you - Buckley's to no chance on any of the abovementioned candidates.- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Manly In Crisis 2025 edition
What a conundrum to be in - either: (a) win the next two games and stay in touch with the top 8 but keep Siebold on as coach; or (b) lose either of the next two games and kiss our season goodbye but get rid of Siebold. Which one to choose???- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Sack Seibold Immediately
Yes, that's interesting too isn't it? The only thing I can glean from that is that DCE must rate Trent as a better coach than Seibold - now that's saying something!- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Sack Seibold Immediately
You know, looking back now with the benefit of hindsight and after all the fallout, and the way things have panned out, I reckon you might be 100% on the money. And I reckon DCE's decisive moment on bailing out on the club came when they extended Seibold. I reckon at that moment DCE knew...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

New coach Poll
What are people's thoughts on Michael Monaghan? I believe he's been an assistant coach for some years at various clubs now. Currently with Des at the Titans I understand. NB: I'm not actually advocating for him to get the job, just curious as to what people's thoughts are. I don't know if...- Raven Mad Manly Fan

Are Broncos Appropriating Maroon and White?
Poor old bronx - no longer the powerhouse club but still believing they're entitled to the entire state of QLD. They don't even have the city Brisbane to themselves anymore, boohoo- Raven Mad Manly Fan
