Very proud of the boys
My highlight.. Turbo got thru another game. That makes 3 in a row. Geeze it’s such a relief, I may have to push on and finish the bottle of red!- Daddycool

Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 8, 2021]
Just too many errors today. However, they tried their guts out so proud of the effort. On to the Warriors next week.- Daddycool

Have we been to harsh!!!
In a word, no. Sure they can’t play without Tom but the coach is supposed to prepare them, to be able to do that if required. Combine that with Des’s “nutty professor”, “I’ll do it my way” selection policy. We feel finally get the majority of the players in the team, many of us have been calling...- Daddycool

The Tommy T effect
It reminds me of junior footy when there’s often 1 standout kid. The other kids just give him the ball and then stand and watch. Seriously though, if you’re going to pay someone $1M plus, that’s the sort of effect you’d like that player to have.- Daddycool

Jason Saab
He’s got to work on his defensive reads. That’s a huge part of his development but his speed is amazing. I was really happy to see how he positioned himself in support both inside and outside for those couple of trys. He just needs to keep doing the simple things right, minimize errors and keep...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 6, 2021]
Obviously thrilled with the win, but how ridiculous is Turbo’s influence on the team as a whole? There’s plenty of very good players in the competition but none make the kind of difference to their respective teams as Tom does. I think the Titans turned up convinced they were going to win...- Daddycool

Game Day: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]
We won! Speechless and no voice now, after ringing everyone I can think of. Hopefully they have a great night tonight and enjoy the week at training. It’s just footy after all. Turbo back next round. Do I dare to dream of “back-to-back” wins?- Daddycool

Worst side Ever. Congratulations
I think in terms of pure player talent, it’s definitely not the worst team MWSE has ever had. But ..... whatever word you want to use; culture, feeling, vibe or simply just attitude, this is the worst I’ve ever seen it. When Des came back in 2019 it seemed like the old Des from the late 2000’s...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 4, 2021]
Is it just me, or do half the starters look like, they wish they weren’t out there but the bench players are loving every second? This is just a glorified training run for Penrith. Cleary is doing all the things he mucks around with at training as, nobody can be bothered to put any pressure on him.- Daddycool

Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 3, 2021]
That was embarrassing. The dragons are complete rubbish and they smashed us. I can’t see who we’ll beat this year to actually get a win.- Daddycool

Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 3, 2021]
That was an awful half of football. What was our completion rate? Less than 50% pathetic! I remember when Manly were a strong club and used to win games, but that was a couple of years ago. I’m trying to find some positives like, a least we’ve still got Cust come on but I’m actually looking...- Daddycool

Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 3, 2021]
Just once, it’d be nice to go into half time with some hope, that we might win the game. FMD- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Souths [Round 2, 2021]
Just got in and caught the last couple of minutes. I never seriously thought we’d win but conceding less that 30 points after last week; we’ll I suppose I’ll take that. As the saying goes, “On to Cincinnati”(dragons)- Daddycool

Best and worst recruitment decisions
A bit left field but I’m going to say, Scott Penn for 1. Not agreeing to the $50k contract extension Des was after, in early 2011 when he and the club, were in the middle of a potentially multi premiership run. 2. Releasing Foran when he could have re-signed in early 2014. 3. Signing DCE to...- Daddycool

The positives from yesterday.
It was great to see Foran back. He’s still a top level player and taking the ball to the line, was the only time we looked dangerous with the ball. Davey was also really good. He should start in place of Gosiewski. As good as Foran was though, I don’t think he can last 80mins each week. For us...- Daddycool

The Daly Cherrygraph
That’s probably the only real possibility. The Broncos need a “marquee” player as part of their rebuild and being the current qld captain, it’s a deal that could and should be made. We may need to agree to pay $500K+/yr but if we could get a couple of players in exchange, it would be worth it...- Daddycool

Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 1, 2021]
I used to invest a lot emotionally, into watching Manly each week. If they lost I was filthy but over the past couple of years, I’ve just become numb to it. I can sit there and watch them make mistake after mistake now and while it’s frustrating, it’s just the way things are. We’ll be lucky to...- Daddycool

Favourite Game
I was at this game. It was like 1st grade V 3rd grade. Robbo gave an interview after it saying “ it seemed like they didn’t want to tackle”.- Daddycool
