Perhaps if the tickets came with a complimentary raincoat?
From top to bottom this whole club has gone to sh*t. There's nothing in nsw cup or the juniors to excite, they're all sh*t bottom table sides too. The owners , management, coaching staff are all clueless gorms. Now we have 2 more teams coming to compete for players and as a club we can offer nothing attractive for top players to come to. Get used to being a bottom dweller because that's where this club will continue to be.
Being bottom of the table in juniors isn’t a true reflection of the talent some of the youngsters have. We will be seeing Zaidas, Walsh, Laifai, Hart & Konz playing NSW cup today who I believe are all eligible for Flegg. It’s better for them to have develop at this faster rate then win junior games

PRESSURE MOUNTS AT MANLY
Manly life member Peter Peters certainly didn’t miss on Sunday’s Big Sports Breakfast when he declared the pack that ran out against Parramatta was the worst he’s seen in his 54-year association with the club.
And it’s a legitimate question to ask what is going on with their roster under the guidance of Anthony Seibold who is now halfway through his third year at the club.
As Peters said: “Some of the scouting there to bring reserve grade players, veteran players to the club that aren’t firing is beyond me.
“I think the coach and recruitment manager and maybe the CEO have got a lot of questions to answer.”
I wrote recently that while DCE’s pending departure has been used as an excuse for the Sea Eagles’ disappointing form this year, Seibold needs to own his share of the blame given he’s now had ample time to make his presence felt and there are still no clear signs of any improvement.
What they dished up on the weekend just confirmed that.
They have now lost five of their last seven games ahead of their clash with the equally desperate Broncos this Saturday at Brookvale.

Unfortunately it was written by Crawley.Whilst he has basically written the facts,he has no real links to the inner sanctum,so no guarantee anything is being said about the goings on,behind closed doors
Continue to be a bottom dwelller?
Finished 7th last year, 9th currently.
Never finished bottom

Never say never
This is just bullshxt. They just make that up for FOMO to drive people to the game. I have been to a few so called "sold out" games this year and there were seats everywhere. Not even close to sold out ..... the only sell out is DCE
Genuine question.
If season ticket holders dont attend, those seats will be empty but the ground could conceivably be sold out no?
It's almost like we cannot afford any good props in an inflated market, just like Des, due to $3 million in three players, and Penn wanting to develop juniors in the USA before the Beaches...
Nah couldn't be. That's too simple! Sack Seibs, bring back Twent, and resign the Trbojevics on a million per year! And Ben! That'll fix it!

If we were a pinball machine we would be in “tilt” mode.

Understandable criticism for the Manly pack not aiming up particularly well against the Eels but also surely pertinent that of the best forward personal and playing well, namely Ola , Tent , Jake , Burbo and Aloiai [ i know a bit marginal ] , only Ola available that other night.
So a bit rich to associate this for a general slight to the coaching and recruiting set up right now .
Side for some reason , even with some outs , just seems to have this extreme playing level ,
Either good to real good to below average and not much in between to make them at least competitive in the games where they have largely failed
How much cap would be directed to Ola Jake , Tent , Aloiai and to a lesser extent Burbo ,
Probably the best part of 3 and a bit mil , which of course has to impact on gaining any real forward depth advantage in additional signings .
Still had more then capable forwards in Bully , T K O and Jazz the other night but the Eels just had a better game plan as well the pack in general and some lame duck efforts in the halves really putting Manly behind the eight ball and reminiscent of some of their other losses so far as well this season

There is some history between Peterides and Seibold.
From memory, Peters claimed the club should ‘Do a Gutho’* and force Tom to look elsewhere prior to the 2023 season. Seibold fired back with “That’s not an intelligent comment.” Or words to that effect.
So perhaps Zorba has been keeping his powder dry.
Until now.
*That worked out well.

Guess that personal agendas often result in good or not so good intentions and possible outcomes and guess also depending on one :s level of influence and public profile .
Zorba is an interesting case study to say the least

We are the highest NSW Club, that's something to be proud of.
