Next year
This year (and I mean; making the finals and having some shot) is over. Whatever mental toughness and confidence they had, they used up against the Raiders. The past 3 weeks have been woeful. The sharks and dragons are just average sides and both smashed us. I don’t know what Des is doing or...- Daddycool

Next year
Are we nearly at the point where we need to look to next year? Considering our situation; 12 games to go, injuries & suspensions to key players, running mid table outside the 8. I feel the time has come to blood the young players. Croker and Gosiewski have had plenty of chances and done very...- Daddycool

Reuben Garrick
To be fair, Garrick perhaps isn’t a natural at the Fullback position but he does have good all round skills. He clearly improved from the sharks game to the knights & we can be reasonably confident he’ll put in another good performance against his former club. The effort and concentration...- Daddycool

Good on ya Chez!
I think many of us have a tendency to judge him, not only on the type of player he’s been, but on what he should be producing, because of the money he’s on. The more I think about it, perhaps that’s unfair. He’s a fine player but not, in my opinion an “Alpha” playmaker like a Cronk, Thurston or...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 8, 2020]
We deserved a penalty at the end obviously & that’s another match ending call that’s gone against us this season. It doesn’t change the fact we struggle to score points without Turbo and to a lesser degree Dylan. We had plenty of chances but 12 points wasn’t going to be enough. Cust throwing it...- Daddycool

Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 2, 2020]
Really pleased to see the boys get the win today. The defence is clearly stronger than last year & had us in good positions in both games. The luck deserted us last week but smiled on us this week. As for the attack, those 2 teams are probably the strongest defensive sides in the comp & it's...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 11, 2019]
Perhaps what they missed most tonight was some experienced, senior players in the playmaker roles. At 12 points up, they just needed to keep grinding out their sets. Get to their kick & focus on the kick chase. Instead, Dylan threw a poor pass after making a break & missed a tackle to let them...- Daddycool

Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 6, 2019]
Mixed emotions for mine. Yes they’re a lot better than they were last year but it’s the simple mistakes that are killing us. Up by 2 points with 5 mins it go & 15 metres out, they couldn’t afford to cough up possession. Parker hanging a leg out (innocuous as it was) on the last tackle, these are...- Daddycool

Gone Tonight
In the simplest terms, the general attitude is poor. As defence is mostly about attitude, they couldn't stop the Titans once they got on a roll. Similar to the Penrith game, they just look clueless in defense. I seriously doubt they are being coached anything in regards to defensive structure.- Daddycool

Time for an ownership change?
To be totally honest, the only real hope we have is a change of owners. The Penns are hopeless & just running the place into the ground. I still care enough to follow the team & even be on supporter sites like these but after several years of this, I'm all but numb to the results like tonight.- Daddycool

Poll: Next Manly Coach
One thing to be mindfull of; In my opinion, the Penns haven't done a particularly good job of running the club up to now. Therefore, what's the likelyhood they'll make a good decision (in regards to the best coach) that's in the clubs actual best interest? We need a Type A. tough, no nonsense...- Daddycool

Manly Sea Eagles: Does the club need to relocate?
I've just read that garbage piece from Ritchie & Peters. I'm sure those 2 Morons read these forums to gain "insight" into what the fans think, well here it is; 1. Yes the Penn Family have invested millions into the Manly Club. Thank you, it's greatly appreciated. However, their level of...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 20, 2018]
That's embarrasing. Football can look easy when everything is going your way but the real character of a team is how they respond when things don't. I know Penrith had a couple of lucky breaks in the period but Many looked like they had no idea how to stop it. The sooner this **** of a season...- Daddycool

Different coach at Manly next season?
Haven't posted in a while. We're obvoiusly in a very poor state as a club & as fans we'd just like some hope that things will get better. I honestly can't see a light at the end of this long dark tunnel. Our current administration & senior management have a lot to answer for. If it wasn't a...- Daddycool

The Daly Cherrygraph
I don't think it's a coincedence that Cherry has been at the centre of some of our recent player dramas. Whilst I agree he is a fine player, he's not a leader. The problem is, Barrett can't just sack him now. All he can do is establish a "leadership group" of senior players with co-captains, one...- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 4, 2017]
Wow.... so happy with that! Great all round effort. The best part for me was the attacking plays, coming from deep, with players in motion. I haven't seen that from a Manly team is ages.- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 4, 2017]
I can't believe how good they look. Contrast this performance with the Souths game. How long has it been that they've played really well 1 week & then even better the next? Anyway, really good signs.- Daddycool

Game Day: Manly v Rabbitohs [Round 2, 2017]
I'll always support Manly but I've got to be realistic. I can't see us getting better as long as Barrett is the coach. It's really disappointing to have to come to this conclusion after only 2 games, but there's been no obvious improvement from last year. 58 points conceded in the first 2 home...- Daddycool
