Get them out of the club asap

[eaglebuzz]

Is it the offseason yet? I think we're all running out of pearls to clutch.

Hi....that was me I believe,I will not name certain posters by name,but there are a number that through volume and aggression of posts have been very unhappy with the Islander influence at Manly and there are racist undertones.
It is not just this issue but through past threads etc.....
If you choose to not believe it,that is your choice,I am sure no one on here really admits to being a casual racist.
Not saying at all or implying it is you,but if you think that of all the people on this forum that there are zero racists then sorry,but you are being slightly naive.
There are rent a crowd types that latch onto an issue if it serves their agenda,that is reality.

More absolute dribble. Harper, Taupau & others played. I haven't read ONE person adapting a non-polynesian stance. They are against gang type behaviour (as every normal person is), and they are talking about players supporting a convicted felon, but refusing to wear in inclusivity jersey.

That's what I've been reading.

A split between the old mates? Woodsie joining the bedwetters, petticoats, broomsticks, pansies and rednecks? No doubt you can handle it, and Chuckee can handle the split no doubt, but what about the kids? Have you thought about what this may mean for the likes of @highlandeagle and @Red Pill ... who will they side with?

Woodsie needs a HIA! then.

Hi mate, I knew it was you but did not want to mention it ( as I know you can speak for yourself as you have done) At a minimum you have certainly opened my mind to this and I am certainly watching more closely. Your post certainly stayed in my mind … thanks for sharing.

They make it quite obvious don’t they… been happening for a while from a couple of select contributors, even floating around in this thread. You know who you are 😉

Smokin', as I stated, we went through it before. Witt, Ferris, Mullane, Winter, and it was some of the best times as a fan ever. Complaining was part of it, yes.

Anyways, maybe you're happy with the way things are as they stand, and that's good for you mate. I'm glad you're enjoying the current state of the club.

You can't come back and say you don't, because you've had a go at me for doing so, or it would make you look a bit hypocritical ?

The key difference you miss is that whilst I am not happy at the overall position on the table,I do not believe that we need to tear it all down in a chicken little losing my **** way.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the roster as far as talent.
Maybe Des needs to let the reigns go a little or needs to be forced to but I don't believe we are that poor,is that hypocritical if me or just having a different outlook?

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

You have literally no basis for making that assumption, Bozo. You're clutching at straws.

Also, for what its worth. Religion is a choice. Sexuality is not.

This 100000 times.

You can choose your religion, you can’t choose your sexuality.

If I could, I would be gay for sure. Those guys get sex on tap. Much more than my wife offers me 😘

Dribble,wisdom/right,wrong depends on your view.
Read the post again,I said it is not just this issue but others over time.
To suggest their are zero posts/posters that are racist is head in the sand stuff.

You do realise people can pile on and not be honest about why they are doing so as it is an opportunity to them?

How many juniors from those areas are of Polynesian decent?

Actually how many juniors from those areas even make grade 😂

There's a large Polynesian community in areas like Narraweena, Cromer & Dee Why.

What was the old saying about the meaning of Dee Why in Tongan …..

 

[highlandeagle]

Bozo, you seem to have a whole story going on in your head which you have conflated with this exchange with me. I don't know what is going on in with your relationship to your religion. I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you and it's very logical. I don't have all the pieces to fully understand it. I don't think this exchange is going to go anywhere, because you seem to be stuck on that unspoken agenda. Respect and best wishes, big fellah.

I'm sure you can see Bozo's perspective from your high horse!🙄

I don't think I've heard that, pray do tell...

Think about the rosters that have recently been broken down and rebuilt. What are their outlooks now ?

I've seen players like TPJ, McCullough, Lodge, Hunt and many, many more bigger name players be let go.

Look at The Dogs now. Washed away the crap that was Hasler and Barrett there, on the improve, a rheem of new players turning up next season and possibly the most highly rated unsigned coaches in the game.

People are naturally afraid if change. I get that. But sometimes change is necessary. We look stale. We look fragile. We look divided and unhappy. What's out outlook for next season ? I don't see improvement (losing Foz, Walker, Taupau, Davey & others, and none coming in).

The players basically revolted against a decision the club's made. That speaks volumes about the culture mate.

Trent Robinson clearly stated his players agreed they'd all wear an inclusivity jersey if their club adapted the approach.

But we are even worse. Players making gang signs. Players attempting to murder people.

Then that's backed up (in Des latest tenure) of terrible results (worst ever against 4 teams), and a .400 record.

How much worse does it have to get before we agree more needs to happen ?

But lastly, I reiterate, I don't see ONE racist person on this board. I really don't mate, and I'd defend any connotation of any of our board members being accused of one.

 

[Supreme Leader]

I think I'm right in this, and of course you will tell me if I am wrong but,

I do not think anyone on this forum gives a rats if any player is white / black / pink / green or any other colour. I don't think anyone gives a rats if your Aussie / Pacific Islander / French / English / African / slash anything. We don't care whether your straight, gay or otherwise. We just want players to play for each other and us, to want to represent the club with passion and pride, and to give a sh&t about winning.

In a lot of ways we are short of this. The players play for their contract, their money, not performance. Maybe I'm to old school. Where you bleed for each other, you get embarrassed when you make a mistake - these days they hold up their hand - wtf does that mean? I think these current players don't get the social implications of the fact how they go on a weekend makes the lives of fans better or worse until the next week.

If you are interested in engaging in some intelligent conversation and debate around these issues, I'd be more than happy to interact with you, Highland. All you have presented to me so far is a litany of disagrees to every single post regardless of its content. You disagree with posts that don't even offer an opinion. That's not growing or moving anything forward, that's just personal and vindictive. Cheers

Nah mate, no-one here is racist (imo). Aggressive, abusive maybe. But none are racist. Like I said, Harper, Taupau played, and I forget his name, that young fella that looked like To'o, that was pretty good. People had no issue with them.

Like I say, we all may disagree on many, many things, but I'd still defend anyone and everyone here against slurs like that, mate.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I laugh at your keyboard cartoon for him. I know it's a laugh, but there's a certain degree of truth in it.

 

[Snake]

I can’t speak for others but personally, having Manly infiltrated by this nonsense is really sad and compels me to spend time on other things and lose interest…so anyone suggesting that it doesn’t have an impact…I think I’m living proof and I’m sure there’s more like me out there. This isn’t my club.

 

[highlandeagle]

Ah yes, good old Highland "Crayons" Eagle 😂

It's plasticine you intellectual giant.
