Bob Fulton angry at criticism of 'his' Manly team

[tookey]

Manly had a team dinner last Saturday night, just hours after their apparent show of unity at Belmore, but in an indication that all is not well at the club, only half of the squad showed up.
We told you about a recent dinner where Jackson Hastings and Daly Cherry-Evans broke bread, just days after their celebrated dust-up in Gladstone.

Last Saturday night DCE was at the Manly bistro dinner, but Hastings wasn’t. It was a dinner put on for players and their partners, and onlookers told me one of the two tables booked was left vacant.

SEA EAGLES
Sea Eagles young guns provide some light amid the gloom
Fulton and Beavis go way back and it is unlikely there were raised voices, but Fulton would be wondering why this talk is about. He would have made the point that Barrett helped create this team and Fulton should not be wearing blame for the line-up and its performances.

Barrett’s salary cap is tied up in five players: Cherry-Evans, Tom and Jake Trbojevic, Marty Taupau and Dylan Walker. Manly’s cap problems have been offset in recent times by other clubs paying portions of the salaries of Curtis Sironen, Akuila Uate, Lloyd Perrettand Hastings. But Barrett is still in a bad spot when it comes to depth of talent.

Barrett is annoyed that he was dragged into the salary-cap scandal at Manly. On Wednesday he met Beavis and his lawyer in the city to discuss the breach notice that he received from the NRL in relation to the salary-cap investigation. He was given a warning for his role in the scandal. Last week we revealed a range of people close to Barrett had advised him to leave the Sea Eagles as his reputation may be damaged by what is unfolding.

A young coach doesn’t deserve to be put through what he has gone through, but Barrett is not a quitter. He also has a mortgage to pay and kids to feed. If he had a job to go to, the situation could be very different.

While on Fulton, he is determined to see the NRL’s report into Manly’s salary-cap rorting, which has effectively banned him from the game. If the 70-year-old wanted to return to the game in an official capacity, he would need to jump through hoops to do so. He was scheduled to see the report a few weeks ago, but was told he could see only the parts that pertain to him. He was not satisfied and it’s understood he will see the full report in the next fortnight.

It is a disgrace that only half the team turned up for a team dinner

Clearly a team split in two and won't win a game until Barrett can get them back together again

Barrett was warned by the Stewart brothers that the club was going to explode and not to re-sign and that Cherry-Evans was the divisive factor who would split the team

Lol hilarious stuff

I must have played in some teams that absolutely hated each other's guts over the years, because outside of being out of town on tour, there was never 100% attendance at any team function

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I'm surprised the media didn't delve deeper into the dieting habits of those who attended the dinner. If they all didn't order the same meal, the club is in a deeper crisis than first thought.

 

[manlywarringah]

So no players can ever have plans or family coming in from overseas or interstate to spend time with them?

Weedler obviously expects that whenever they call a dinner, all plans already made must just go out the window!

What an idiot....he obviously wants to put his 2 cents worth in and keep the rumblings going and this is the best he can come up with?

Some articles over the last couple of weeks have been a worry for me but this is just eye rolling stuff. Try and write a real story you fool!

And just on the story below about having our cap tied up in 5 or so players.....which club doesn't?

Most clubs centre their cap around their top players and try to juggle the rest.

Obviously a slow news day so lets just keep the Manly stuff coming, even if there's nothing to write about!

Funny how yesterday when Mark Levy from the Continuous Call Team was absolutely slamming the club and went on a five minute rant about Lyall Gorman and Bob Fulton sat there in the same studio and never said boo!!

I don’t usually listen to that **** but just happened to have 4BC dialed up on the Landcruiser radio when I went to the shops yesterday lunchtime.

And when I say slamming the club and Lyall Gorman, I’m talking about a mega slam, it went on and on and on, and to be honest bordered on out and out defamation!!

But no, Bob didn’t say a word , the next time I heard him speak was about Pretzels!!

Levy would have done that because Hadley does it.
Hadley has some agenda against Lyall for reasons unknown.
Bozo probably said nothing because he knows his buddy would endorse what this nothing was saying.
Levy is trying so hard to be Hadley everytime he gets behind the microphone but he's becoming more like Ron Casey.

 

[tookey]

Nothing can defend the way the team has played for the past month

The body language and lack of effort from a lot of our players suggests that currently there are real issues with the playing group

 

[Brooke]

It was my understanding Bozo was not present when Levy was ranting about Gorman. Bozo joined the program a little later, having come from the Harold Matts Grandfinal. He was then quizzed about the Manly situation. The only thing he really said was he didn't feel it was a good idea that DCE went out later in Gladstone and then the events that followed that decision.

Now I wish I hadn’t put all my savings on Manly to win by 13+ today

 

[Highflier]

I'm not sure what to believe but how can the NRL issue a ban against Fulton for all these alleged heinous crimes against the salary cap ,YET not show him the report or the evidence?? So in other words your banned but we are not gong to tell you why or let you test the evidence

How does that work ?

I mean is this Nazi Germany or Russia and the NRL is the KGB ? I just want Manly to pull together and start winning games no matter what ,but I really hope that all the NRL's dirty laundry gets taken out into the light and that Bozo and whoever else has a case sue's Greenburg's bony arse and pummels it so hard that the bald headed grub will have no choice but to get an overcoat ,a tin cup and a cardboard sign and sit down in Martin place .
It is just a disgrace what this vindictive,evil,jealous,despicable,underhand,devious and desperate rodent has been allowed to get away with .Surely if there is any justice in the world his time is coming ,,,,justice is coming Greenburg get prepared

More click bait from Weidkiller!! He will continue to spread innuendo as it gets him and his fellow bottom feeders ratings. I am sure that Barrett and Bozo are dealing with things in their own way. The one thing that does need to happen is the team needs to come together and fast!! if we are any chance of winning games.

 

[Bubbler]

If the whole thing with Hastings is indeed what has divided the team, the only solution for the remainder of this season is to play him!

Media is the only one pushing the 'divided team' angle 😎

Coach picks the Team

 

[Jigzkiller]

If this isn't a divided team then I have never seen 1.

Just out of interest K(C)E, did everyone else turn up if you didn't ??

 

[mave]

We only had 4 out of 11 turn up to our cricket presentation a few weeks ago.

7th grade cricket club in crisis !!!!
