Certainly still operating on a MUCH smaller budget than the big boys... doesn’t stop Dessie though.

(This was Tafua) The 27-year-old, who has previously played under Geoff Toovey and Trent Barrett, is only having a lighthearted dig about the off-field study. He admits it’s helping his game.

“I hope the boys take something out of it, I definitely do. It’s good to know on a daily basis where you’re going wrong or what you’re doing well,” he offers.

 

[DUFFMAN]

We must have them where I work, thank god the company supplied them.
They probably should be supplied by the club.

What was Trent doing, the players never looked fit, they looked disorganised during games and have said they have never watched so much video until Des arrived.

I hope the young hooker fanu? Has his checked regularly for to ensure there’s no porn on it

Seriously loved that article shows so how far ahead of the game Des is in comparison to the imposter who was there last year.

On paper we are not a top 8 team. But I am certain we will finish at least 8th this year.

We now have footyballers who now have to think about their mistakes.

Kind of makes you wonder what the hell this team learnt last year.

Ohhhh yes, pub = not so public bar.

Good cap management to make them buy their own! Can't be pinged for 'making undisclosed payments to players in the form of goods and or services.'

Todd tries to find ways!

i think its awesome. Players were not held accountable enough under baz, Dez will make you held accountable for errors you make in a game or training and how to fix them. He is so much more proffessional.

Its why we were so good for the period under dez and the senior playing group was so professional.

This always stuck with me, an interview with Justin Horo when he started pre season with manly. They were do a training drill and Horo dropped a simple ball. Glen stewert came straight up to him and said "mate, i dont care were you have played before but lift your game, your at Manly now and we expect better!

 

[The Who]

Stand by for playbooks and a new position being created, a quarterback, who links with a halfback who links with a three-quarter.

 

[Rackets]

I'm pretty sure the same thing happened when Des was at the dogs, except I think in that case the club provided the players with iPads.
Well the dogs do have more money than us

 

[Normie]

The players can claim them as tax deductions

 

[HappilyManly]

Thanks Dez, Fans are no longer the only ones who had to watch the dumb mistakes

Sounds like its a new thing sadly. WTF were the players doing last year after a loss

 

[Cameron]

I just had another thought. iPads?? They won’t have to worry about videos after games. They can just come on silvertails and there be heaps of us telling them what they did wrong in colourful detail.

 

[Harvies elbow]

If he's been showing them the mistakes of the last 3 seasons no wonder they've had to watch so much video.
These players are now getting a professional footy education...

Good question, it does make you wonder.

Let me see....they learnt how to lose, how to almost 'win' the wooden spoon, how to play unfit and probably how much they could drink.

Sounds like Des is coaching them in the right direction now

 

[The '47ers]

Does anyone else think the Manly narrative might of changed? I'm seeing a lot of positive stories at the moment.

Didn't Des have a get together with Greenberg last week?...

Maybe it's our turn for the Ch 9 "feelgood premiership"

Trent was too busy trying to be their friend to have any discipline. I also think he just had no idea how to coach a first grade squad at an elite level.

 

[The Wheel]

Sometimes the 1 per centers make the biggest difference- maybe we lost that over the last few years but to me this is pretty basic stuff for a professional coach to be doing!

 

[court83]

I love how blokes in 200-300k are complaining about a $1200 iPad lol

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

What if they are Samsung loyalists?

I can see a players rift coming.... apple vs Samsung.
