From the Vault - February 2004

If you read the article on the front page you'll see this is another idea that certainly didn't work.

Is such a decision to do this a brain snap by dessie, lack of experience or was he simply not capable of keeping these time bombs in line?

Walker & Hoppa were great role models/leaders in the club!

Three years on from the NE the leadership structure needs to change in the club. The whingeing captain needs to shut up and help instill composure rather than excuses. We need a united on-field front and some solid players who will set the right tone and example for the younger players. Not to turn Manly in a choir camp but to get the young ones thinking about discipline and personal lives in shape. Bottom line is that players whose lives are in order perform consistently on the field (generalisation!).

Mind you that article was simply another of our media manager's talk Manly up and get some attention efforts in my opinion. Who in their right mind would appoint Hoppa and A. Walker as off field leaders with their records???
