come on this is bs

takes awhile for things to happen the MWSE website, they need someone with passion to run it

Darren. there is no quality control at head office. Unless you (or Vid 🙂) notifies them, they probably wouldn't have a clue and then of course you can expect there will be excuses for the delay in replacing Perry's image.
We really are an amateur organisation. Followers, not leaders.

 

[Darren]

It's a worry for a professional nrl organisation. I never get anything off the website, I joined as a member (just to support) but how long will people keep putting in? Souths on backpage of Tele today (again) To get big sponsors they want their name around.  Look at coverage of Star Casino with Souths

Duff i think the jury is still out on JWH

I just mean in the sense that we spotted a kid with potential & Easts poached a Kiwi international. Screw Easts.

FFS Pacman, how many times do we have to have this same thing posted?

Do you really think that those players aren't gone because they're the expendable ones?
Are you really too stupid to see that we've pretty much kept all the players worth keeping, upped their contracts to ensure they stay & paid for it by offloading the dead wood?

Ok i will cop being called stupid, considering  such a great football brain such as yourself  is giving it to me,And to be honest i dont really care how many people have posted similar comments.This is my first,Sorry to have annoyed or offended you in making such ludicrous comments,Here is the scoop 2008 is over.In 2009: 7th, And  2010: 8th.We then loose another 5 top grade players dead wood as you put it without buying one top grader.Oh excuse me if i mention stewart.Rodney wolfman joe n, Matai  have all got chronic injury concerns.Im then told by stiffi to stop whinging and support our team.Im as passionate a supporter as you will ever see,I also believe our top squad can do some serious damage but our depth in the forwards will be found wanting if we suffer any kind of injury toll,Time will tell if im stupid or if im spot on the money.How will our backrow look if choc and stewart get injured?

Give me DCE over any halfback in the comp. At this point he has the potential to be the number one but the price tag of the number 16 in the NRL. If you'd rather pay overs for someone average who'll only ever be that, then yes I find that stupid and offencive and rather conservative.

The injuries to those other guys will hopefully be over. I'd rather risk it & keep them than ditch them & have them play blinders for another club.
Surely the worst thing that can happen in footy is what happened to us with JWH or Parra with Dave Williams. I never want to see another player leave Manly to go on to bigger things elsewhere, regardless of who we think we can buy with the savings. We've kept the best of the group together & put young blokes around them. How is that not the perfect situation?

I like DCE and can see the potential in him but over any halfback in the comp?  Potential is the hardest thing in the world to live up to.  For every guy that makes it the pubs and clubs are full of guys who couldn't, most didn't knuckle down when they had the chance but it also comes a bit down to luck.

Unfortunately our club is behind the times and still don't realise the importance on the the internet. They've shut done the forum and I bet the hits on the mwse site has dropped dramatically. I used to visit the site every day but now rarely go to the site now. No wonder the sponsors are queing up, NOT!

I said it at the beginning of last season and I'll say it again, can someone please tell me the last team to win the Comp with a rookie halfback.

The best we can hope for in 2011 is to make the 8 and make up the numbers, just like we have the past 2 years.

I just hope I'm proven wrong, but it is a little difficult to get excited about the season with so many unknown quantities such as:

1. Will DCE be able to step up
2. Will Foran suffer 2nd year syndrome
3. Will Snake have his pace and confidence
4. Will the forwards have a dig
5. Will Matai be suspended.......again
6. Will Wolf get through round 1 without an injury

Just now, the glass is half empty, sorry for the pessimism but the front office has a lot to answer for.

Parramatta went close in 2009 against the cheating scum. Who knows what would have happened if the scum played with a legit side.

I may of layed it on a bit thick with a few of my comments, I was just frustrated i thought we would be a good chance of snaring Glenn Hall after being unable to keep  a few of the players let go due to salary cap. I differed a bit from most i thought Farrar and Bailey offered fantastic versatility and depth. I wanted to keep them all,But i also know they did keep whatever the cap allowed.I was hoping Hall would of been a bargain pickup.

 

[WAMF]

Hall earned himself a massive upgrade at Manly before moving on to the UK. I think he played his first season with us for 50k and said he was willing to back his ability to get the upgrade, which he definately did.
So Hall was never really going to be a bargain buy IMO.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Agree with WAMF, Hall was a very smart buy a few years ago, doesn't mean he's a smart buy in 2011. If someone we need pops up I reckon we could find a way to squeeze them in, Hall aint it at the mo.
(but all the best to him & his wife)

The Rig might end up playing for the Sharkies from what I've seen
