No . Not at all , I was just responding to the without Croker we have big scores against usYou're shooting that home to just Croker?
Sorry, one Friday night wine too many. I misunderstood.No . Not at all , I was just responding to the without Croker we have big scores against us
You make a very good point there about the overload of 50 tackles in a gameYou'd expect this team to play very differently in 23. DES was happy for this team to have two players basically soley defending our ruck.
Is it a coincidence those same two players are being criticised about their attack? Jake to prop for mine. But both players making 50 tackles a game, every game.
Are U really surprised they didn't have some zip and zap when it was time to attack
All Good feathered friend . Enjoy your nightSorry, one Friday night wine too many. I misunderstood.
Well said Bozo 👍Good to hear from you and that you are not too bad
I Greatly admire that your great character is greater than the great challenge and adversity you are going though and has not stopped you from doing things that you enjoy
You are an Inspiration Feathered friend to any one that is doing it tough and has read your post
Thank you and God bless you with a quick recovery
He's got Parra written all over him Woodsie, no Manly supporter would ever death ride the teamMate ... you are dribbling ... the issue isn't how we go with Seibold ... the issue is you stating that you are death riding the team .... so if you are expecting even the slightest bit of respect from me for your opinion ... you are dreaming ...
A positive attitude is everything Mark, without it there's no hope. Keep it up mate👍You gotta be positive !!
To think changing the coach and setup will improve our results is ridiculous.
Didn't you see what happened at the Bronco's? If Spoonbold couldn't get through the politics at the Bronco's what does he expect at Manly? Manly is an entire different beast to Brisbane.
Family club! We have 2 out of 3 cousins. Unfortunately, the wrong 2…Back on topic, I wasn’t aware that apparently Lachlan is a cousin of Morgan and Millie:

Didn't Barrett say the exact same thing when he was appointed Dogs coach? It's easy to say you have learnt from previous mistakes but to actually see positive progress is another thing. I'm willing to see how things go but if your roster is basically the same and depends on the injury prone Turbo I can't see much improvement next season until the club brings the broom through the roster.If I understand correctly, you're saying you don't think changing the coaching and set up can improve the results???
Really?
Seibold said he learnt a lot from dealing with the politics at the Broncos... He's mentioned plenty of times since his Broncos exit- how much he learnt from that and what to not to get caught up in, and how he differently he would approach things next time.
Sure, that won't guarantee us success however, Des didn't seem to show any wisdom or learn any lessons from either of his stints with Manly or his time at the dogs.
Happy to give Seibold a chance to redeem his coaching record/career with us over Des '3 strikes and don't learn from it' Hasler
Let's see first yeh?
How do you propose we get one?Just imagine the impact our team would have with a dominant number nine
Guess What feathered friendHow do you propose we get one?
You know what? I would love that we signed Cameron Murray over Kelma Tuilagi.
And i would prefer we have James Fisher Harris over Sean Keppie.
And guess what? - i would love to have Isiah Yeo as our lock.
I'm not saying Lachlan Croker is a gun number 9. But when you have salary cap issues and the guy earns 400k a year, he isn't the top of our issues.
So, you can go on endlessly that we would be better with a dominant number 9. And of course, we would.
But what's the point of banging that drum when for
1. there are only about 4 dominant 9's in the comp
2. We aren't getting any of those players due to salary cap constraints.
At first you said “ To think changing the coach and setup will improve our results is ridiculous.”Didn't Barrett say the exact same thing when he was appointed Dogs coach? It's easy to say you have learnt from previous mistakes but to actually see positive progress is another thing.

Guess What feathered friend
Salary cap does not stop clubs from finding great talent
Grant and Smith were nobodies before the storm recruited them
I hope some of our younger up and coming players get a go under our new coach

And while Melbourne was doing that Manly found talents like Josh Schuster and Haumole O. I bet the Storm wish they had those guys, but you can't get all of them.Guess What feathered friend

I disagree feathered friendYou do what you can to find the best, but the salary cap dictates that you need to fill out the team with solid guys that can contribute at a reasonable price.
I'll leave it there mate.
