What a great match. And to think it was achieved without The Bunker!
Had the game been NRL The Bunker would have found a way to take Manly's one-point field goal away for some nebulous reason.

I must admit I am confused by our junior strategy. I beleive there was a move from recruiting outside the Manly area to focusing on local juniors. As a result our results have certainly dropped away. This seems to have been supported by a few 'name' purchases e.g. Large, Walsh etc. We also have links to Yeppoon HS, NZ. So far this strategy has failed to deliver results. In comparison if you look at the Panthers, Dogs, Raiders, Roosters they seem to be stock building some of the best juniors around. If you look at the last few years U19's SOO teams I dont think Manly have had a player selected.

Like a number of areas at the moment I am not sure if we have a strategy or a plan however in a tough, competitive player market (which gets tougher with Perth and PNG) you need to build talent within otherwise you run the risk of over paying. Thoughts?

When was the strategy changed to this current one? Results don’t just happen overnight

I could be wrong however I think when Mestrov came on board. I think it coincided with Scott Fulton leaving.

It would be great to hear from our CEO at some stage. An update on the strategy type thing for members, particularly as we are being asked to ante up for another year. Every corporation has an AGM every year to update shareholders on what the company is up to. I appreciate we are private, but I would have thought an annual update to members would be appropriate.
