2018 Awards Night

[HappilyManly]

thought they always have it this week.

It was changed after Dez destructive 2011 Awards Night escapade a week after our Premiership win

 

[Supreme Leader]

So how weird was last night? I reckon everyone was scripted to what to say to third parties. Everyone I spoke to said exactly the same thing - nothing! - when questioned on next year (staying or leaving), or on what the vibe is like, any feedback on salary cap.

No one had an original thought or discussion point. Weird how management stayed away from non Manly personnel as well.

Hmm, really weird, usually a lot more banter in previous years even from the players. Mostly standoffish.

I hope it wasn't only me, I'm sure I showered before, and used deodorant.

Why does that surprise you .... I doubt they would have to be instructed not to say anything ....

Does not surprise me they know if they speak to to the real punters they don’t want to hear what we have to have say..they know they are not liked and have screwed up that is management.

Same with the membership team I sent them an email in a very respectful and objective manner asking 3 simple questions about our future nothing no reply at all. It is like they have been told to completely shut us fans out.

 

[Shoe1]

We take home games away from Brookvale.
Now we take our Awards Night from the beautiful Manly Warringah area to Pyrmont.
Poor form!

Apparently the Parkway Hotel at French’s forest was unavailable.

Something is brewing, what I don’t know, but it just smells like that.

Well, the whole season stunk. Might take a while for the odour to go away.

I agree it's like the club has gone into lockdown from management to m err membership staff. Something is brewing

What the Sea Eagles did on Mad Monday

Manly players take part in a marathon after narrowly avoiding the wooden spoon

MAD Monday should be banned by NRL clubs. The antics of the Bulldogs this week hijacked the start of one of the closest final series in recent years.

Despite what the players think, seeing professional footballers in fancy dress and blind drunk in full view of the public is unacceptable.

Why the Bulldogs were out en masse after the season they have had is beyond belief — they should have been in hiding.

And the same goes for the Manly Sea Eagles, who went perilously close to getting the first wooden spoon in the club’s history.

They didn’t just have a Mad Monday, they had a Marathon Mad Monday.

It was the survival of the fittest. After individual reviews on Monday morning the players:

› Had lunch at the Harbord Hotel.

› Enjoyed a cruise around Sydney Harbour.

› Finished at a private room at 2am at Forestville RSL.

To the players’ credit they were well behaved throughout with no complaints about their behaviour. They were under the supervision of the team security guard at all times.

All players in the NRL are taken through the pitfalls associated with social media but fans are able to follow the Mad Monday antics by players who can’t help posting their whereabouts and what they are up to.

ON THE ROCKS

THE Rocks area of the city should be giving former Sea Eagles football manager Gareth Holmes nightmares.

It was at The Rocks just over 12 months ago that the Sea Eagles’ coaching punchup drama erupted, leading to the exit of likeable Willie Peters from the club.

Holmes was at the coaching staff get-together which preceded the altercation and was also in Gladstone at the time the debacle involving Daly Cherry-Evans and Jackson Hastings took place.

Fast forward to last Monday and the Bulldogs go naked on a balcony at a hotel at The Rocks.

Holmes left the Sea Eagles for the Bulldogs a few months back and was reportedly at The Rocks Hotel on Monday in his role as Bulldogs football manager. It has certainly been a rocky time for the respected Holmes.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

MANLY, by virtue of a troubled season, are faced with accepting a lot of second string players virtually unwanted by their current clubs.

The recruitment group is massively inexperienced. If the Titans’ Kane Elgey, a fringe first grader, is the main recruitment for next season then Sea Eagles fans are in for another tough season.

Possible signings being thrown around, such as Brendon Elliott, Corey Waddell and Darren Sonig, are hardly names to get excited over.

And with head coach Trent Barrett going through a major dispute with the club just who is doing the signing?

The drums are beating that exciting young prospects Tom Wright and Jade Anderson have been told to look elsewhere. If true, it is a dumb decision by the rookie, faceless retention group.

The club has invested four years in teaching Wright the game after his switch from union and he has one thing missing in Manly’s backline

— genuine speed. So too does Anderson, who has heaps of potential.

Me too! It was my local pub. We are the same age too.

Probably condemned as unsuitable for human habitation?

 

[double hoops]

The names Zorba throws out that the club's interested in.
Darren Sonig. Google doesn't seem to even know who bloke is. Can anyone tell us more?

The perfect mad Monday location. Low key, lots of escape routes.

What genii are on the rookie retention comittee? Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder maybe ?those 2 rookies sb retained its a no brainer esp when u have nothing to replace them with , i cant believe that TBH

 

[Wombat64]

Me too! It was my local pub. We are the same age too.

I was about three years earlier than you guys but it was my local too. Every Friday night we'd go there to listen to the bands and get a knee trembler with some willing bird out the back. Place was always full of year 11 and 12 kids with dodgy IDs. Good times.

 

[double hoops]

Apparently Baz broke down on stage at the awards night. Yet received a standing ovation from the crowd. That sounds awkward for Mr Penn. How Bizarre? A standing ovation for Trent = #boothepenn
