Thanks for your reply feathered friend
We are a club and team on the improve. ???
Last season we underachieved .
This season we made the top 8 with a top 8 squad .
This season we met expectations . We did not over achieve
For our club to improve from this years effort we must do better next year than this years underwhelming finals exit .
Our consistency was markedly the best it's been in a decade this year ???
A decade marked by what ?
Our Benchmark is Winning Grand finals !
But winning a comp ain't easy.???
Especially when you dont have a Grand final Winning coach
I hope I am wrong and you are right because I want Manly to win a Grand final
But I have no faith in Seibold
We both want Manly being Premiers in 2025.
Now if Seibs is doing a great job and if he can get us to premiership glory for mine are unfortunately 2 different things.
And to find out if Seibs can take us all the way.
To find that one out Scotty needs his US connections and $ flowing.
Ok. I know we both put Bellamy & Bozo Fulton in that top shelf category of coaches.
The gut ache started coaching the Storm in 2003. Stripped of a Premiership in 2007 & 2009 for cheating the cap. So a club clearly willing to find a way with....$$$ to win.
So history will show took 9 years even for the painful one to (officially) win a comp.
Storm still owned by Murdock. So you think just $ to burn regardless of how many record books are kept.
They buy great juniors which is part of their sustained success. But belly clearly gets the best out of his players too.
Back when those great Manly teams had Premiership glory and set those high standards you speak of. It is interestingly Bozo Fulton had Kerri Packer he could debrief with.
Bennett the $$$ follows.
My point. Even the greatest of coaches need. $ for a premiership to follow.
Now as a top 6 coach Seibs can be considered a good coach, he's done better than most have achieved.
Now even if we do have a top 4 list right now. It's not Premiership capable yet.
What's the saying, premierships are won in the front office!
Now's the time for ahh sponsors to come a knocking, or Scotty to find a Sombrero perhaps.
Show us the 💰 🤑 Scotty. Give Seibs a chance.
