Kinda agree. We are all passionate about our team but it's a forum and people have different views. The world would be a boring place if we all agreed.
It seems so.
I think that would be a good thread. How many post Manly success stories are out there.
I can't think of many.
Leave Manly at your peril, almost everyone fails.
JWH goes against the trend ( how we let him go is beyond me).
And Gutho, but that's been done ad nauseum!!

Havent heard that used since the Queen Mother passed.
With the squad he has had available at the Dogs, Des has probably over achieved every season he has been there so far. Personally don't think he will ever lose that aura, hasn't missed a finals series since 04, that's an amazing run
An example of not losing an aura while not performing is Wayne Bennett. Can't get a Brisbane side with absolutely everything in its favour over the line, and the last 2 clubs he has been at, he has left in a terrible state. He is a huge part of the reason Newcastle are about the worst side of the NRL era but that's gets swept under the carpet

Dude quotes his own former user name and carries on a conversation with himself. Don't waste your time. But I agree the place is infected with his ridiculous and delusional musings.
I don't know if I'm still on his ignore list. I hope not because now he can spend the rest of the night scouring old threads to find something I said in 2012 that he thinks proves himself as the 'one true king' and manly martyr.

Love this comment from the kennel:
"My opinion is he is genuinely Manly through and through and is here to destroy us for 1995. He's mental."

Good. I have never forgotten '95 either.
Where Des is open to criticism is that he has been there long enough and he has the team he recruited ... he's not coaching somebodies leftovers.
On the other hand Barrett (and Bozo) are working with a 2nd hand squad and bargain buy specials due to salary cap issues. Got to hand it to them.

If they feel really sick thats exactly where many go.

Salesman wanted, must look honest.
Can you give it a rest for a while - it's very boring.
Or the user name.

Angry Bulldogs supporters continue attack on Des Hasler ahead of Dragons clash
ANGRY Bulldogs fans have started a petition to get Des Hasler sacked in the countdown to Monday’s crucial clash against the Dragons.
In what’s shaping up as another dramatic week for one of the game’s most distinguished coaches, Hasler’s 14th placed Bulldogs will be desperate to snap a four-match losing streak against the 3rd placed St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium on Monday.
That will be followed on Tuesday night by what’s expected to be a highly emotional members’ forum at the Canterbury Leagues Club, where supporters will get to put their frustrations to Hasler and the club’s hierarchy.
It also emerged yesterday that disgruntled fans had set up an online petition on the website change.org calling for Hasler’s job.
The petition addressed “uninspiring” and “underwhelming performances”, and read in part: “We the club members and fans are tired of the excuses and false promises. It’s time to change for the better. Remove Des Hasler immediately!”
The petition also called for the reinstatement Bulldogs legend Steve Mortimer who stood down from the board last year after speaking out against Hasler with what the petition termed “accurate commentary”.

The petition also called for the reinstatement Bulldogs legend Steve Mortimer who stood down from the board last year after speaking out against Hasler with what the petition termed “accurate commentary”.
While Mortimer took it upon himself to resign, his public comments were frowned upon by chairman Ray Dib who labelled it at the time “out of order”.
That point was not missed by some supporters in recent days who have questioned Dib’s unprecedented campaigning in the media following his controversial dressing room intervention after the 38-0 pounding by Penrith.
Dib continued his defence of Hasler yesterday and also conceded his own position could be under threat at next February’s board elections.
“I know there is rumblings in the background,” Dib told Triple M.
“I know some of the old boys are getting together and that is fine, it is their constitutional right.”
While there is next to no chance Hasler will be sacked given he was handed a contract extension this year and has Dib’s full support, the petition illustrates the growing unrest among members and supporters.
There is no doubt many fans believe Dib and the Bulldogs board jumped the gun re-signing Hasler because of a fear they could lose him to a rival NRL club.
The irony today is that Hasler was said to be in line to take over from Paul McGregor at the Dragons.
McGregor only signed a contract extension last week as a reward for his team’s surprising charge up the NRL ladder this year.
Hasler yesterday told the media that the players understand last week’s performance against Penrith was “not acceptable”.
“The playing group is pretty strong and they understand the ups and the downs,” Hasler said.
“They understand what needs to be done and I know they are looking forward to getting out there and executing it.”
Hasler also gave this message to the fans: “I understand fans are very passionate and particularly the Canterbury Bulldogs.
“But stick with this side. Stick with these boys.
“They know what is required and we will turn it around.”

A members forum huh.
If it were us there'd be a lot of sausage rolls eaten!
If Des turns up he'll be on maximum calf's blood and pickle juice just to survive.
However....it's nice to see a club that has all the pokie money in the world still unable to get things right. lol @ dogs

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Id be happy if hasler and his dogs never won another game whilst together. Could you imagine them if this time next year they have lost 27 straight.
