Andrew Webster had a somewhat less hyperbolic reaction:
'It’s a complex deal for a complex coach at a complex club.'

Well one thing we know it will only be one persons neck on the line if it doesn’t work.There has to be key performance indicators in the contract. The challenge for Des is will he adapt and change things if things continue to slide or will he again stick with tried and trusted failures when younger players need to be given a chance!
And when exactly is that? When Silvertails says so??will he adapt and change things if things continue to slide or will he again stick with tried and trusted failures when younger players need to be given a chance!

His favourite word is recalibrate lolImagine living with Paul Kent:
(Sips a nice cup of tea) "This tea is magnificent, genius! The best ever in history".
(Spills cup of tea) "This is the worst disaster in history!!"
We should of got rid of him and replaced him with Flanagan.
What we really need is Sheik Bin Al El Ramen of some Emirati nation that wants to throw a billion dollars our way , new stadium , new coaching staff , poach all the best players , buy Foxtel and have a dedicated Manly channel , make memberships $1 and pay @Dan to run the digital side of the business !!
Oh happy days !!!
Oh and **** Nick Politis , ours is bigger than yours.
@Mark from Brisbane unfortunately we are more like "****e in the Bin Limp as a Ramen Noodle", using shopper dockets, playing out of a quarry, paying a coach's pension, buying/paying broken and suss players, watching a test pattern, paying $75 for nothing and Dan has quite rightly got other things on his mind!What we really need is Sheik Bin Al El Ramen of some Emirati nation that wants to throw a billion dollars our way , new stadium , new coaching staff , poach all the best players , buy Foxtel and have a dedicated Manly channel , make memberships $1 and pay @Dan to run the digital side of the business !!

Please. Hoppa last played at 16 after two ACLs and two years out of the game and that is your evidence to make your point?And when exactly is that? When Silvertails says so??
I'm surprised to see this line still being trotted out. I'll now call it the zombie argument, because if it wasn't killed off by the Hoppa Jnr debacle last year, clearly it can never die!
All teams need balance and usually that means including a couple of younger players.Please. Hoppa last played at 16 after two ACLs and two years out of the game and that is your evidence to make your point?
Plenty of teams bring in young players 18+. Penrith did it on mass around three years ago and have had great success.
You don’t do it for the sake of it, but if the more experienced players are consistently under performing and you have genuine talent in your younger squads (which we do), you should inject them into the side and give it time.
No zombie argument, just common sense.
I agree the team needs balance. That’s completely appropriate; however, dropping Garrick, moving Walker to his best position of centre, bringing in Olakau’atu (when available) won’t disrupt that balance. We still have Jake, Foran, DCE, Marty, Aloiai, and others.All teams need balance and usually that means including a couple of younger players.
We've got Schuster (19), Saab (20) and I'll also count Cust (22) because he's played less than 20 games, nearly all of them off the bench.
