It was Des all along coaching thread

[ManEagle]

"We" as in Silvertails exploding and taking out the someone else or "We" has in Sea Eagle.
If it's the later maybe Jason Demetroiu

That said I would be confident even with Penn in NY the deal is being done

 

[ManEagle]

Both - LOL
Why not Tooves over Demetriou

I would take Toovs in a heartbeat, you would and just about every Manly Fan would, but reality I can't see Penn going that way do you ?

 

[redlineg]

Thanks. Just had a night cap looking forward to reading some high quality NSD material in the morning.

Not much happening, probably due to Daylight Savings. Its only 10:47PM up here and looks like all the southerners are in bed!

Well if Des doesn't sign, what option would he have if he wants to sign members

Best bet for Toovs is Hasler takes the job and gets him involved, at least I hope so. Just can't see Penn going down the Toovs road cap in hand unless Lyall has intervened. I admit it would be a membership winner but possibly a bridge to far

Gotta Be Des Coach with Tooves managing both the Players Salary Cap and the Football Department Salary Cap in an official capacity and also assisting Des with coaching as well.
That would be well received by fans

For some strange unexplainable reason... I kept tapping on your avatar tonight and staring at that picture. It made me realise how badly this place is in need of an injection of something... anything... to stop the madness of this past fortnight. If Des doesn’t announce his return soon... I might be forced to sign in under a pseudonym (cause I really am Kevin Ward) and set about trying to pass myself off as Stronger2gether... now that would be fun.

190 pages!

This would be the best decision the Penns have made for the club. Finally they have seen the light bringing Manly back. One thing is for sure is that the players will come out firing under Des.

Eagles need a Des AND Tooves show
They’re Manly men and they’ve shed blood for the club, says godfather Arthurson

Jon Geddes

The Sea Eagles should bring back club legends Des Hasler and Geoff Toovey, says former club boss Ken Arthurson (inset).

SEA Eagles godfather Ken Arthurson has backed Des Hasler to return as head coach and get the club back on track next season.

And if Hasler gets the job, Arthurson would love to see the club find a role for Manly legend Geoff Toovey, whom he says also has a lot to offer.

“I’ve got a very high regard for Des Hasler, I think he’s as good a coach as there is in the game, actually. He would be an excellent appointment,” said Arthurson, regarded as one of the sport’s greatest administrators.

“Arko” said a key attribute Hasler and Toovey shared was that they were Manly men who shed blood for the club.

“As I’ve always said —and I keep repeating it because it’s true — the best success Manly have ever had has been when we have appointed from within,” he said.“The evidence proves it without any doubt.”

That goes back to when Arthurson was coaching Manly and took them to grand finals in 1957 and 1959, when they were beaten by the champion St George teams. Then followed the likes of other old Sea Eagles Ron Willey, Bob Fulton, Hasler and Toovey.

Arthurson said the Sea Eagles were a closely knit club and always had the attitude they were up against the rest of the world, an ethos he used to encourage. “We got that tremendous spirit by which they stuck by each other, irrespective of what happened,” he said. “And any problems we ever had in the club were always dealt with in-house and were never made public.”

Arthurson said Hasler could put a stop to the dramas that had plagued the club throughout 2018. “Apart from being a good coach, Des is nobody’s fool and he would straighten things out — and so would Geoff Toovey,” he said.

Arthurson said he had a high regard for Toovey, who said last week he would be interested in coaching the club again. “Quite frankly, if Des gets the appointment — which it appears is going to happen — I’d love to see some position found for Toovey in the club because he would be an enormous asset,” he said.

“He’s got plenty of administrative ability, too. “

Former star Ballin interested in comeback

Jon Geddes

FORMER Sea Eagles star Matt Ballin has revealed he would like to return to work at the club next season in a coaching role.

Manly’s former ironman hooker and one of the club’s favourite sons has had his name linked with a possible job at the club.

“I’m definitely interested in coming back and working with whoever is on the coaching staff in some role,” Ballin told the Manly Daily.

“But it is a long way off anything happening.”

Everything is on hold until the expected announcement of Des Hasler as head coach.

Significantly, Ballin was a key member of Hasler’s 2011 premiership-winning Manly side and started in 27 games that season.

“I like him and he likes me,” he said. Ballin is currently based in Brisbane as a high school teacher but has a great love for the Sea Eagles and the northern beaches.

Hasler met with his manager George Mimis on Monday. He then contacted Manly people whom he knows and trusts to get their take on where the club is situated and what needs to happen.

Hasn’t happened for a LONG time!!

Hasn’t happened for a LONG time!!

None of it has happened YET. I'm still scepticle and preparing for a massive let down going on the Penn's recent record of bungling.

The news keeps getting better and better
Feeling PUMPED up
Feeling like Manly once again !!!

Unfortunately Arko the self absorbed millenials of today's players don't share our views of fierce club loyalty and spilling blood for colours and emblem. They're only interested in their "product" or brand name and will sell it to the highest bidder. Ofcourse they ned to get the most out of their careers but at some point you'd think they'd play for more than just the highest $$ bidder.
