2023 place your bets.

We are a top 8 team without TT providing we can dodge rainbow jumpers. We would have been in the 8 last year, just saying. It really doesn't matter if Mestrov makes it he NRL's problem, the players have said they still will not participate yet the NRL is still holding the round. I reckon it will affect a lot of teams.

They can have an inclusive round, and I bet there will no problem ... as long as the jersey reflects all comers ... and not just a gay pride rainbow ....

Last I heard V'Landys said no decision has been made.

It's obvious that gays are the main group excluded, so any inclusive round or jersey that doesn't include a rainbow will be a real statement - of capitulation.

I not sure that Penn will be a Manly diehard!

Just sayin’

Not exactly the word I was thinking when I wrote that post but great job for thinking outside the box.

I went for xxxxxxxxxxxx (although not entirely sure what that means)
Is there a prize for neatest correct entry?

Xxxxxxxxx was just a blank line between the 2 votes but hey could be anything I guess.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Mine is a pick the top 8 , in order , and I’ll post that up a few weeks before kick off ,but thanks for the mention !!!

Sorry about that. Have I gone and blown the load way too early?

Didn't Mestrov come out in a presser the other week and say we were ditching the inclusive jumper and idea?

Ooooooooooooooooooooh

I thought it meant have a terrible terrible even worse than the terrible year and that was you swearing about it.

Nah all good , mines different anyway.

It’s just I’ve been doing it for about 15 years so @globaleagle is just protecting my rights …..lol

From memory he said the NRL would take the lead on such initiatives. Meaning Manly won't be doing it again this year unless the NRL comes on board. And V'Landys was quoted a while back saying the NRL was discussing a pride round (or something) but there was plenty f time to decide when it would be and no decision had yet been made.
Personally I'd rather the ARLC spend a year leading discussion on inclusivity among all the clubs and also junior clubs, and then do it properly the following year. Plenty of time for any remaining conscientious objectors to bail out.

That is probably why I said reflect ALL comers ... which would include reference to the gay ....

Yes, it probably is.

That is a smart point you make on an all Inclusive anti discrimination round .

I hope our Marketing department takes note and does not make a Mockery of the game again

The gays have never been excluded wearing our legendary indiscriminative Manly colours
The only exclusion should be the Manly Marketing fools that have divided our club

The Great Gay Ian Roberts proudly wearing the Manly all inclusive colours
and so did the other straight and religious players that played with him

 

[BOZO]

I work with a gay roosters fan

He is great fellow

We talked about the Manly rainbow Jersey

I asked him if he would play in a Roosters jersey with a crucifix and he said he would feel uncomfortable

I told him I would feel the same way playing in a Rainbow Manly jersey

We are friends and have remained friends because we do not cross each others boundaries and respect each others boundaries

The Immature and ignorant Manly Marketing team needs a lesson in Social standards

 

[Damien2812]

I think Manly will miss the finals and finish around 11th.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

All things going well should make top 8 , Seibold to improve Manly with a few positional changes
But of course injuries will change everything ,
If Schuster stays at 5/8 all year is one thing that could define the season

 

[Budgie]

Who knows. At the time (April last year) he signed the new deal, the club was as crazy as it gets!

Pre rainbow jersey? A way to go in the crazy I’d suggest 🤣🤣

Our CEO had just resigned in as-yet-unexplained circumstances (but which could scarcely have looked any more suspicious) and a genius had just been installed as interim boss. Who went on to distinguish himself by presiding over the disaster you refer to. Same crazy, different month!
