Fat n lazy… but can play.. imagine if he was fit and put in for 80

WIggy wighton would be an excellent 13 in modern game … limited ball playing skills, not smartest cookie but would suit that 13 role and would drag out his career a few years for some extra coin? Not for us, but eels or dolphins …

Can’t cop the agent is at fault. If it’s my agent, I’m saying thanks for the other offers now get manly across the line, assuming I want to stay. It’s the player who is in charge of their personal affairs… stand up for what you believe in and stop blaming the monster under the bed (Agents)

Everyone assumes Flanno gets an offer to become head coach at the ——— — (insert failed club here) … what if he enjoys the northen beaches and the success in 2023 with group of young kids … Siebold identifies he is suited to an overarching coaching directors role. WIN WIN (Mestrov might be smart...

best post ever written on these boards… crayons lol

Tragic eagle - brilliant summation.. Bozo agree with your thoughts. Let’s face it, Des did similar to the dogs… leopard and spots comes to mind. Just send Des to the newly created director of football and he can take a back seat, behind the scenes with a new coach. Question is, who’d work in a...

Eagles brains trust; Do we have any support for Flanagan … coaches defence and gives kids a go + popular with his players… I can’t think of another viable option, but Des the dinosaur is well and truely past it.

Could Des coach Blacktown???

PNG and play games out of PNG / Cairns / Darwin… instant success in terms of growth- playing talent, supporter base, memberships, merchandise and action… even if not successful, would be must watch footy and fit PVL-ball

Anybody can act like a honourable man during the good times.. they say a man's true character is revealed when they are challenged by adversity. I respect his past commitment to the jersey and playing busted when others may have sat in the dugout. However he will forever be remembered for...

Easy enough to fix the contract/ poaching dramas.. Premier league, for example has a player fee + transfer fee to the club.. - player x gets $650k (lets call him 'knows-whats-best-for-me') Great.. sign your life away.. Poaching club, lets call them 'slimy worms' pays player +...

Every club has a distinct culture.. and Manly should market to their strengths.. For the last few years, the sea eagles have been known for their commitment, hard working playing group and never say die attitude. I can remember reading Tommy 'cattle dog' stating Manly were a real football...

Don't sweat it guys.. after the poor show on the back end of 2011, the storm are officially on the slide and now cannot be considered a marquee game! Eagles winning by 20+ each contest, may as well play in Perth and keep a higher profile contest for Brookie.. a team that'll actually challenge us!

Legal counsel withdraws his services after email ping pong fails to uncover the technical information relating to the charges and judicial process. Question; 'does the NRL judicial process lack the integrity required to offer the accused a fair hearing?' As a result is may be denied natural...

Sydney papers don't promote games or report on footy news.. they focus on scandal and rumours only! You need to be in trouble to earn a write up. Any wonder newspaper circulations are in free fall..

I would expect Manly are doing their best (in negotiations) to persuade Hoppa to stick around. Can I suggest they structure a package whereby he returns in a development role and continue gods work on behalf of the club. Manly could establish a Northern Beaches charity that Hoppa can be heavily...

Actually the report was...  "has osteoitis pubis and will play this week but may be out thereafter as he 'may' require surgery or 'may' try to play on.. Should report it accurately... or its just chinese whispers

Hi guys... new to this forum & struggling through the off season.  I've been a sea eagles member for last couple years, even though I live in Far North QLD.. Read the comments about limitations of our squad and agree for the most part, except lets face it.. in our squad as with all NRL teams...
