Des-Penn-Buzz

[Mitch]

Realistically this would have been dropped in the media as a means of showing publicly that the club was ‘remorseful’.

Des would have known this was coming before it was printed, that’s for sure.

 

[Nordburg]

He couldn't say anything else in all honesty, it'd be $50k if Penn backed up Des's comments.

I just think Penn didn’t need to say anything,unless he has an agenda that may reveal itself in the media in coming days/weeks.

 

[BOZO]

Because the Penns are massive knobs who's only interest is themselves. What fu*kwit owner neglects to inform the members first or publicly berates his coach. Fu*k me this club has gone to hell in a handbasket. Owned by a bunch of twats.

I thought we had standards on here @Dan ?

Is this behaviour and disrespect acceptable @Dan ?

and if it is you have set a benchmark to derail our forums ethics and morals

Penn is a ****.

For those saying it was just standard board response ...it wasn't.

Penn's comments about Des made it personal and disciplinary ..

Not sure Des would be impressed.

I'd also like to add, that Penn is a fkwit.
Always has been, presumably always will be.

You call for respect for Penn ? That goose showed zero respect to our previous owner in Delmege, and not much more for the URM guys......or Toovey for that matter.

Penn has always been in it for Penn.

The club has gone downhill ever since they took control. Longest ever period in our history without a GF, worst period on record for finals appearances, appalling management of revolving door CEOs and other executives, you can defend them all you like but this club is a basket case at the moment and it all rests on their shoulders. Right or wrong but publicly knifing the coach like that is reprehensible.

For those on ST’s that get upset,paranoid or think the media/the world is against Manly,strap yourself in because it may get a bit bumpy this week.I don’t understand why Penn has gone to the media before informing members about the new CEO or why he has made the comments re Des’ fine.Most fans would of been happy Des and Aloiai aired their grievances this week about the referee performance vs Parra.What motive would Penn have for going public with his disappointment with Des?Or is it just me being paranoid?

What new. CEO? Or are you referring to Wolman, the Artie Fadden of CEOs?

Well at least he is a Manly junior. He would have played with Des.

But greyhound racing? That is scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of ‘sporting’ pursuits. Horse racing looks good by comparison.

I said last week that I didn't think Josh's comments were helpful at all. They pretty much escalated Des' comments with much less tact, when there was no need to.

Without that, I'm not sure that Des/Manly get the $25k fine by association and then we avoid this kind of situation... when we should really be focused on winning more games of football

NRL 2022: Manly issue final warning to Des Hasler over ref criticism​

Manly coach Des Hasler copped yet another fine from the NRL this week and club chairman Scott Penn has put his foot down.

Manly has warned veteran coach Des Hasler about any future criticism of referees in the wake of his $25,000 fine from the NRL.
It is the fifth time Hasler has been fined for criticising match officials since 2007.
Manly chairman Scott Penn spoke to Hasler about the situation on Friday.

“It was heat of the moment and super disappointing to lose like we did,” Penn said.

“But you can’t bag the refs and we all know that.

“I’ve spoken to Des and he understands. It’s the final time we want to be having this conversation.

“You’ve got to bite your tongue. Deal with it in-house and then internally with the NRL.”

Penn admits that his club overstepped the mark.

They were smashed 9-2 in the penalties and didn’t get a set restart.

“What Des said was overstepping a little bit,” Penn said.

“If it had stopped there, we may have got a slap on the wrist but then Josh (Aloiai) spoke at training and took it to the next level.

“I appreciate the passion but we can’t say those things in the media.

“We’ve got to prosecute our case behind closed doors with the NRL.

“We’re not proud of it and it’s not appropriate to bag referees publicly. The game has to protect its officials.

Sounds like Des and Penn still arent the best of friends

How about saying nothing?

But saying nothing doesn't get the goose and his ego any newspaper time.

Our club has become a complete joke since Penn took over ownership.
Its almost impossible for me to find anything positive to say about the Penn era.
Grateful for what @BOZO ?
For watching the club turn into a complete basket case on his watch?
We are almost at the point where the club needs a complete rebuild.
Our club culture is shot to bits.
What do we stand for these days?
Do we even have a club culture right now?
At the end of the day Penn is the owner. He needs to take responsibility for the cultural disintegration of Manly Warringah Sea Eagles as a club during his ownership.
Respect? He can kiss my Maroon and White arse.
Class? See above
Go Manly.

Would have expected better from Penn on this one . Genuine grievance from the coach and players and a better or better nuanced public response or statement by Penn at least a bit more supportive and sympathetic and surely more in order . Respect is a two way street and just too many occasions Manly not receiving this from match officials in particular .

We constantly bend over and take it with player suspensions, refereeing farces, we never fight match review penalties. We never hear from the ivory tower except now when he wants to grandstand himself. So when someone finally speaks out he comes in to try to preserve the hip pocket. I fear the future will just be more years of mid to low table mediocrity until we get committed ownership and leadership.

Since Mr Penn took over our club won a Grand final in 2011
Since Mr Penn took over we made the Grand final in 2013 and were very unlucky not to win it
Since Mr Penn took over we made numerous finals appearances
Since Mr penn took over our club sustained economic hard times like covid times were there was no game revenue
Since Mr Penn too over our financial future is secure
Since My Penn took over we secured the greatest talent in the game Tom , and other Elite players .
The fact is we have a competitive team and the other fact is Des and the players are underachieving and Mr Mr penn is responsible for this .
