Battle of Hastings 1066 Thread

[ManlyTragic]

Did anyone stop to think it was a paint strippers club they were visiting, to get some home reno tips. I'm sure that's it.

Is that when they are naked and cover themselves in body paint?

 

[yokahontas]

That's a good point because its not just Hastings who has previous form. Cherry has a long list of Manly and Qld players who didn't like him either.

You know what’s a counterpoint to that, though? I don’t think there’s anyone who would suggest Jamie Buhrer isn’t one of nature’s gentlemen and a genuinely nice bloke; during that whole period of senior players not getting along with DCE, who was he thick as thieves with? Jamie Buhrer.

I’ve said it before, and my take on it hasn’t changed - I would almost put money on it that the ‘senior players’ issue was something to do with the fact that Foran was happy to be influenced by the older, party boy faction at Manly at the time (to his and his family’s eventual detriment, as it turns out), whereas guys like DCE and Buhrer nailed their colours to the family man/dad mast fairly early on. He’s always had an attitude that there’s a lot more to life than footy, and that seems to rub some of the lower intellect footy heads up the wrong way.

There were rumours at the time of DCE being seen as aloof and arrogant because he would have a beer or two then go home to his missus and not kick on with the ‘boys’. Wouldn’t surprise me if he defended his choice to them at some point and put some noses out of joint.

As for the Qld thing - you’re already on a hiding to nothing not being from the Melbourne/NQ mafia. You’re disliked before you even get there because you’re not the clubmate the mafia wanted the selectors to pick. Throw in that same thing about being the kind of person who doesn’t seem to buy into the all-night piss-up, having groupie cougars all over you Maroons culture, and the guy can’t win.

Club Captain Daly Cherry-Evans has been handed a fine of $10,000 for his involvement in those incidents.

How much did Jacko have to pay for assaulting Chez at training

 

[Karin]

Ok this may be a given to most of you but who actually counts as a 'senior player'?

I mean yes DCE but who else (In no way do I insinuate these players have a problem with ANY player in the club I just want to know who falls into the senior player category?)

Do you think the club has done this as a knee jerk reaction to appease the media and others who have jumped on the 'poor Jacko' bandwagon?

 

[Shoe1]

This will put any CQ team bid back decades. One game, and disrepute.

 

[mave]

Sort your sht out MWSE.

Every fkn day it is more off-field drama.

And given the performances we have witnessed recently this year, us fans don't need any more pain off field, the tripe on field is more than enough, thanks.

His whole career

 

[ricardo]

My maths is terrible... what is $10,000/$1,250,000? 0.8%?

 

[sheridanstand78]

Well well. dce is fined, finally some discipline! Now the team has to come together for our cause . Learn the lessons and move on! !

 

[mave]

So Hastings' career is in tatters.
DCE fined ( and of course now guilty of something in the public perception).
Coach speaks on behalf of the playing group and then has players contradict the coach on the issue.
Players presumably have given evidence to the club re DCEs involvement (Lane, etc)

I think the only winner out of this absolute shambles is young Croker.

 

[HappilyManly]

His whole career

What career?

If Jacko had real talent and focus then a Raiders junior would not be our 5/8

The only reason for the fine is because it happened in public . They have to be made accountable yarda yarda bull****.

If our recruitment team had real talent and focus then this particular Raiders junior would not be our 5/8.
And that includes cap and cheating responsibilities!

And we wouldn't be paying Myles to do SFA

Who are the recruiters now that Bozo's retired ?

 

[globaleagle]

Meh, token fine to get everyone off Manly backs.

Will probably win a 10k 1cm putt when next golfing with the penns.

Thank our captain boy wonder for that one. But wait wait, best Manly player ever......

Maybe Myles should be tweeting #thxDCE , closer to the truth....

Chez wasn't the recruiter - #ThanksBozo
