Does Neil Henry re-enter the the picture now?

Not anyone's first choice of course, but clearly a better option than Cartwright.

I know most want Toovey or Dollar Des. But That is NOT happening so adjust your expectation to what the Penn's will realistically do.

You’d have to think so!!
 
Yess but do you think the penns were informed yet of Maguires decision to not coach us ! Apparently Maguire only told Manly today ! I really hope they already knew and had a back up plan other than carty
Neil Henry back in the mix?
 
Just put cardboard cutouts of Bellamy / Siebold in there. Might even fool our players into performing.

I stopped going on Instagram, watching them all drinking and smoking their Indian bong thingies just gave me the ****s.

Maybe Officeworks cutouts would fit in Penn's budget? Then scare some of the players into trying to get healthy.
 
Surely they would not be so stubborn to give a has been like Sheens the job, instead of reaching out to Des. It beggars belief that there is a bloke the calibre of Hasler who missed finals twice in a 13 year career at 2 clubs 2 premierships, 3 x runners up and for the sake of pettiness won’t extend the olive branch even though they are royally ****ed. Im still convinced that the hatchet job on Des regarding all this backending contracts is a massive beat up.
 
Ok my read on this is
1: we offered madge massive money to sign with us. It was rejected on the basis he choose his own coaching staff. Cant blame penns for not trying here.
Point 2: In the meeting the other day we were promised manly blood in our coaching staff (Randall, possibly ballin and more to come ) Madge wouldnt have wanted this staff.
We have been crying for manly blood and now we put our foot down against madge and say NO we need/want our manly coaching staff and people still aren't happy!
This has NOTHING to do with our training facilities.
Silver lining is we potentially end up with a coaching structure packed with manly blood! Ill hold my opinion on penns until we finalise our squad and coaching sraff.
They clearly tried and are listening to us but lets see the final outcome b4 judging.
Nah I doubt it, he would have been put off by the owners, their track record with all staff is nothing short of abysmal
 
Unfortunately Mark - the horse has bolted - by not allowing him more insight to more say in coaches assistants, he has been circled elsewhere and is over and out.
Manly has never been run like this in my 40 years as a supporter....Arko would had Barrett gone 6 months ago and Maguire would have signed the dotted line over a month ago.
Now a case of a last ditch attempt on Sheens, Griffin or get stuck with Carty.
And Arko would not have re-signed Cartwright and Ferris this year either

What self respecting coach would come here and have Cartwright and Ferris as support staff? Penns no doubt want to keep them to save more contract payouts for these two

The Penns have totally stuffed this club

They need to sell to URM/Kaspersky ASAP before the club dies

I’m not buying into media hype until it’s all officially announced.

Remember they get things wrong, and often.

Mate the fact there are direct quotes from Maguire in the article means it is one occassion the drunk, broken clock is right twice a day.

Robbo makes a good point though - everyone says they want Ballin etc in the coaching system, but this would not happen if Maguire got the gig.

What a balls up......again.

My fave by Buzz was Lyon to Gold Coast.

I heard that was a set up to teach the old **** some respect by a player manager, and not Lyon's.

For what it's worth Cleary was always going to the Riff next year. Shows what a spineless individual he is. Sacked by Gus and then crawls back.

Watch it a blow up when Cronk retires and the Chooks take Nathan Cleary from Penrith. It will be a sweet day.

We might as well prepare for the Cartwright era commencing July 18.

I can't wait.

Wake me up when it's over.
 
Not a Queenslander, won’t happen ( in my humble opinion).

I believe walters was always being groomed as Bennett's successor.
Once he knew his time was up with the Broncos he made life difficult for walters, hence him quitting as assistant.
Several ex Broncos has since said similar regarding bennet and his treatment of walters.

Exactly, and Walters will be the new coach.

Bennett to Tigers ( only because where else does he go), Cleary to Panthers and Maguire doesn’t get a gig!!

Now all of the above is supposition BUT so’s the **** printed by Slothfield!
 
Getting rejected by someone who really has no right to be picky. Ouch.
Hope no one picks him up.
Why does he not have a right to be picky? He is a premiership winning coach and will find another job fairly easily. In fact, he currently does have a job... coaching the Kiwis.
 
So what part of this quote from Madge was made up? "I have informed them (Penn) that I’ve declined the opportunity to coach the Sea Eagles,” Maguire told The Daily Telegraph, “I’d prefer not to go into the reasons why."
You believe everything the Sydney Telegraph quotes??

More fool you.

Probably comments from his manager trying to talk up the $$$$$$.

Yes I do believe quotes from a person if it was a lie Madge would have refuted it. Do I trust journos no but I trust quotes attributed to named person. But keep believing Cleary or Madge is joining us and blame the media when it doesn't happen.
