It was Des all along coaching thread

[Manly_92]

Not happy with how DESmond left at all, filthy actually

But given all the other options and the fact Toovey hasn’t been given a look in yet I’d accept Des

Strone old mate, i know i have been critical of you in the past but i tend to agree with you this time. I am not thrilled with the idea of des taking over the side by himself either but given some of the other candidates that have been mentioned (taylor most notably) i am more than relieved to hear des’ name back in the mix.

O

true!! even the dogs when their side went stale were one of the strongest defensive sides in the comp with Des as coach. Defence is our main concern, and if we get that anywhere near that level again we can return to finals and give it a good shot in 2019

Yep!
in 2018 we had the absolute worst defence in the comp with 622 - worse than PARRA on 550!
Our attack was the ninth best with only 500 points for
I am hoping all the Baz, Catrong and Jason Taylor supporters will suck it up and realise it is time to move on

So who becomes his assistant, Cartright?

**** Des

But in the absence of anyone else, and compared to Cartwrong, he’ll do!!

Mate from what we believe with his backended deals and player management on our roster back then was average looking in , but i think most coaches get arse whipped when they leave and really we dont know the whole story . I'll say this though , if anyone can turn us around its Harry Hasler . The guy is resilient and will get the best out of these players , also brings that aura with him and hopefully that seige mentality that we were all accustomed to.

Been calling for his return for years! Finally the return of the king lord Desmond of house hasler will take us back to glory. All you des haters seem to have back flipped LOL either way of there in discussions then hes coming he wants to coach hes the best option by far he just needs to gather a coaching entourage. Lets all hope toovey is part of that equation along with donny singe and crusher. We need all the manly we can get and kick cartwheel to the curb! Go Manly

Is that you @Stronger2gether? I thought the PPC must have offed you? The PPC, Mullets and German have given lots of LOL over the past few weeks.

I’d imagine for the most part that would be up to Des, mate. I’ve got no doubt he will bring in preferred staff.

Seems someone at https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ has a sense of humour. Penn State! Nice one!

 

[Nice Beaver]

Thats right waxed beaver i seen you all STILL talking about me, seems you missed me? i had to come back especially if my man Desmond is coming back

Time will tell if he is back...but the drums are beating that it looks likely.

Personally, I think its the wrong move. But I know I am in the vast minority. And if it does happen, I hope I am 100% wrong and its a success.

Interesting couple of weeks coming up!

 

[KNUCKLES]

Agree chance to play under good coach compared to ciraldo

That's the great thing about having des back also. Players will want to play under him. Should make recruitment easier

 

[maxta]

There is an argument Haslers coaching tactics are out of date and at Dogs....there was a dour looking side with predictable structures.
I think to have the right staff with some fresh attacking options will be an asset, however Des is the ultimate in bringing out the gutsy rugged defensive unit that has been sorely missed the past few years.
We have enough quality attack to cash in once the team galvinates and this is the major ingredient we have been lacking that changes the results from loss....to wins.
Can only find the move a positive that gives hope like a “Return of the Hasler” movie all Silvertails will want to watch.

Boy Tapow must be happy, his offload rate will skyrocket under des. That is if des does not move him on again.

Id be more worried if I was Koroisau

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I hope Des wants Toovs as his assistant. I would forgive him then.

#signdes

Can you tell us about your previous Toovey rumour mail?

 

[Nice Beaver]

According to Zimbalist, Des owes nobody an apology for the sh*t that went down in 2011/12.

We aren't his ex-boyfriends or something amazingly witty like that.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I'm also curious to see which support staff Des will want. With Tooves as his right hand man, he was without doubt the best coach in the competition. Without Tooves he was not able to replicate his success at Manly with the Dogs.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Ohhhh no the ummmm,ummmm man is back.Please limit he’s interviewing.

 

[Cameron]

I think the club should make Barrett stay the 6 months and turn up everyday and do nothing but watch how a real first grade coach does things lol 😛

 

[Nice Beaver]

He had better not bring Foran with him.

He doesn’t owes an apology but he owes us a premiership for ruining our celebrations in 2011 I’m sure he will deliver on that too.
