OK! 2016 is over. Some of us have given you Bob, you Trent and you the Penn brothers a freebie in saying its been a tough year for you with injuries, a new coach, lots of new players etc.
But we the long term supporters now want to see a vast improvement in 2017. Nothing less than 6-8 position will be acceptable. No excuses. Get this team moving or get out.
I've been a supporter since 1965 and have come to accept the highs and lows. It happens. But a team with Manly's tradition is by nature a side that is consistently in the top half of the comp. Anything less is acceptable only for a year.
I've seen two dumb decisions this year in letting go Gutherson and now Knight. I dont know what your thoughts are but letting local juniors go with promise is just not the Manly way given our limited resources. I've backed you guys to this point, but next year the gloves are off. Perform or as you say its a results based game and if we dont see improvement next year, we expect you to leave. Excuses are now run out.
