Yep. I think its time for Jake to retire, and replace Jim Dymock as our defence coach. The recent head knocks have unfortunately for Jake, potentially just fast-tracked this situation from 2027 to 2026.
I thought Seibold would actually make a pretty good head of football, but he inemptitude this season (particularly around the DCE situation) could rule that out as well.
Ballin, Ennis (attack), Jake (defence), Snake (attack consultant), (to be followed by Turbo in a couple of seasons) and Hales could work ok for us in 2026/2027. It would also restore the real Manly way to the club, not the bastardisation of socalled Manly culture that we have today.
