Aren't the stars aligning for a Dalai homecoming..?

Ouch..... I didn’t need that @Loobs

If Baz goes to Penrith I think he’ll do well. A junior (inexperienced) coach needs strong administration round him to take the pressure off handling things like signings and managers. Souths have a strong administration and so do Penrith. Gus Gould is pulling all the strings. Siebold is also in a good position in that he has a number of really strong senior players to steer the younger guys around (Sam burgess, John Sutton, Greg Inglis). They’ve all captained the club.

Other than Daly as captain he has no leadership support. We have a super young team and someone like Marty is too worried about his personal branding team kapow crap. I’ve liked Joel Thompson but he’s only been here 6 months. Can be hard to immediately demand respect unless you’re a rep player or world beater. I think he’ll be good for us next year as a voice and a role model cause by all accounts he’s a fantastic bloke

It would appear that all the other clubs have a strong administration ..... Silvertails ... hahaha ....... we are the poor relations .... the most under resourced club/team and boy is it showing ...

He’s over 30 and his hamstrings are shot. He’s cooked.

Well maybe he could play centre and teach the fullback how to fullback

I actually think the club are just waiting for the new cap on football operations to come in, to bring everyone back to the field. But lets be honest, how the hell will the NRL be able to police that when they can't even do it for the players.

The new Football Manager (John Bonasera) as already started he was at the game on Sunday in full Manly gear looking very official.

Barrett can take Ferris and Cartwright with him to Penrith

 

[1969]

I don't believe any of this "Barrett to Penrith" crap, and to even consider "Bennett to the Eagles", is laughable! Yes, we had a bad loss, but we still showed some great fighting qualities in the second half against a side full of stars hitting their straps at the right time of the year. If you think for a moment about the injuries we have been forced to cover, and having to blood reserve graders, amongst all our other disruptions, and bias from the NRL, we have shown that full strength, we are capable to be competitive against any team in the competiton. We have lost 3 games by 1 point, and we never get the rub of the green in these tight situations.

Barrett has been extended, and will coach a more experienced side next year, we can expect to have a much improved season. This year just has to be written off with an tsunami of impossible situations to deal with, on and off field. We can only get better.

Twenty going to commute between Wollongong and Penrith eh?
Guess that means his salary will go paying tolls.

 

[Disco]

I seriously think Madge is the best option out there atm

 

[Bill Hamilton]

I'll throw in Phil Economidis, everybody else has been suggested, why not the mustached wonder of the 90's

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ll say this one thing, if Barrett walks he walks, but if he doesn’t you #sackbarrett crew better harden up because there’s no way the Pennster is going to payout a million to change coaches.

No tolls between the Gong and Penrith if you go via Campbelltown

They're going to be past her belly-button by the time she's 40.😀

I volunteer to hold them up for her, that will give them an extra 10 years

 

[Supreme Leader]

Are you sure your weren't speaking to terry Hill or Scott Fulton? They like lobsters

There is history on this with Cliffy when way back he was Capt/Coach at Hornsby. He turned for his first meeting and was expecting an envelope with Lobsters in it, the Hornsby officials misinterpreted what he was saying and gave him an actual lobster. Should have seen the look on Cliffy's face. Priceless!

 

[The Royal Soup]

My info is legit I’m telling you

The commute is an hour and 15 for him too

I know because I used to do it being from the gong myself

I thought you might have mapped out the trip for him....

If Baz goes to Penrith then it's so important the next coach of manly is ex-manly. Another blow in will not suffice. We need someone who has pulled on the jersey and can implore Turbo/Jurbo to bring back some manly old school heart. Des/Tooves - Co Coaches would be epic and would get most people excited. Get Beaver or Cliffy in as the assistant coach/coaches.. Whatever it takes to get some Manly blood back involved. And if Baz is going, we need to pull the trigger now and not wait until Jurbo/Turbo are off contract or coming up to being off contract.

 

[Stevo]
