Most underwhelming Manly EVER

[bob dylan]

Hoppas turned into a rag doll.

Our wingers today are both totally the wrong body shape for the modern game.

They need to be like To'o or Lomax or Coates, all three are very different but they are the examples of the best shapes for wingers.

Garrick ticks the box but Hoppa and Saab don't. Both are too light, one highly skilled in every aspect of the game the other is not.

Our backs too light and our forwards too slow.

Before everyone gets too negative ... just remember we can "beat anybody on our day"

Our day being the 32nd of December

A quote from DCE at the presser:

"Im doing the best I can & can hold my head up high"

High up his own arse

The connection is so not there and that’s on the coach and captain. End of discussion.

And those are the two that need to fall on their swords. Injuries aside, it's the players who are on the big bucks that are letting us down the most.

I found that to be very defensive from DCE.

He must know some people are blaming him for the rabble we've turned into since his announcenent.

It also sounded quite divisive, using "I" instead of "we" in his reply.

Their Captain has checked out , so they just followed suit.

Looking back now , he should have been dropped to NSW cup.

The rot started then , and has gotten worse as the year rolled on.

Hard to understand that the club stuck with him as club captain after he dragged them through the mud on 💯% footy.

 

[Super Coach Eagle]

How did we beat Melbourne in Melbourne a month ago.

Honestly we have been a rabble for at least 3 months.

Lost to Newcastle, Titans and Parra in the space of a 4 week period back in May/June.

The tigers and souths wins at Brookie were average games at best

The last 4 week horrendous.

I think the only way they can right this ship...

1) Make Ballin head coach as for assistants maybe Choc / Chad Randall
2) Make Des the director in some Phil Gould type role (unlikely due to his beef with Penn)

That's on Seibs mate. I don't think any other coach in the NRL would have kept him in the side let alone as captain.

I love this.

Makes me wonder if I can continue spending my hard earned money to but membership and merchandise from the club. After 37 years of supporting the team, I am ready to walk away. I live in Auckland so I might as well staring supporting the Warriors instead. to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Disappointed is an understatement for us all at present. It's sad that you, and many others, are perhaps walking away and not renewing your membership. Like it is for me, I know it's a big outlay of your hard-earned for not much joy in return.
If DCE was staying, I'd understand your change of heart, but he'll be gone. Just remember Fogarty will be our 7 and he brings much experience and many pluses with him, including a different attitude.
