Going through transitional growing painsOur most important game, with the season on the line and half the team has mutinied. What the hell is this club doing.
Well said TW, what were they thinking. It's just mind boggling what this club does from time to time, is this about selling merchandise god knows we have enough jerseys in the wardrobe as it is. Now the Club as a huge task to pull themselves together and get the dissenting players to play on Thursday night.I have been a Manly member for many decades and I was planning to go to the Easts match.
I was going to watch rugby league, nothing more, nothing less.
Now, thanks to the stupidity of the club decision-makers, I won't be going as they have ruined this simple pleasure by turning it into a religious-political-cultural divide.
Just look how a RL Forum has turned Manly supporters against one another.
The NRL and the Bunker were doing a good job of ruining my interest in the sport. I never thought my own club would complete my distaste for RL..
I think the players will cave and wear the jersey. I think the club is pushing the inclusivity barrow rather than the pride angle and this will appease them.I reckon a full team will be named
Leaves more options open to us
Was thinking the same thing in regard to guac and alioia . and in regard to outside backs . sure that Vaega could do the job but still a bit depleted in worst case scenario . Maybe the. 3 who have apparently had a change of heart could relay or impart their reasons on the others and show that there can be a way to resolve this . apart from vagea , still a bit of ability on stand by , Bullemor , Tuitavake [ if fit ] , de luis Sykes , Roumanas . and Froggy and Davey maybe still a bit uncertain Even with the Gauc and Alioia fitness issue , still naturally hope the other four objectors can still be accommodated somehow . still some time to get things back on track Everyone has been able to project or express a personal view or stance and again if 3 can manage a presumably pragmatic change of heart and helping matters on a serious level and feeling comfortable with it , shouldn 't be that hard for the remainder .Just an assumption but I was doubtful guac or aloai were going to play anyway (due to injury), so maybe they will hold their positions....
Hoping of the 3 playing, there may be some outside backs!
We haven't even touched on the covid dropouts and Guac and Alioi injury concerns from last weeks game. The highs and lows on following Manly.Was thinking the same thing in regard to guac and alioia . and in regard to outside backs . sure that Vaega could do the job but still a bit depleted in worst case scenario .

And some common sense prevails with ALL fit and contracted Manly players and squad members available4pm team lists can't come fast enough..lol.
This would suggest Croker isn't ready to play?Manly pride jersey: Seven players to stand down from NRL game against Sydney Roosters
A former NRL star is poised to play his first game in three years as one of the players parachuted into Manly’s team due to seven players boycotting the club’s pride jersey.
A decimated Manly side may hand James Segeyaro his first NRL match since 2019.
Segeyaro needs to pass a fitness test on Tuesday after missing the past few matches with injury.
He would have played last week after hooker Lachlan Croker was sidelined because of Covid-19.
He has not played since a stint at the Broncos ended in 2019 because of a drug ban.
He was thrown a lifeline by the Sea Eagles and has been playing for their feeder side Blacktown.
This would suggest Croker isn't ready to play?
Jersey stuff aside
Anyone heard and word on the fitness of Jake, Davey, Croker, Aloiai, Olakau'atu, Keppie and Ben Trbojevic.
Ooooft its a worry when I read that back
100% agree..Following Manly is like a Snakes & Ladders game, we go up a short ladder then another one only to land on a big snake and slide all the way down again. Back to square one again, except this time we might not be getting back on the ladder anytime soon.Roosters 40 plus and our season is gone.
What a disaster of a week for this club I love and are so glad can't attend this match.
This is one of the lowest points I ever have had following this club.
This week will have much longer term consequences for our team and our club.
