Yeah he is a myth. As soon as you disagree with anything he says you are Gonski. Professes to regular meet with the Manly big wigs including Des and then uses his platform to bag them.
Ok Harper - last chance
- Thread starter maxta
- Start date
Exactly.
And Des didn't bring it up, the journo asked him the question about Covid and he said in hindsight, which is a wonderful thing, yes could have been underdone from Covid... but he won't use that as an excuse etc
It was a poor selection when we have Koula on the side line.
pffft 7kg. ive done bigger AGB on footy trips and still managed to front up again for another big sesh
Is this his 'second' year? Second year syndrome? I though rubes was rubbish last year after a good one the year before but he's bounced back quite well.
I dunno... it's late and I had to do my taxes today.
Especially after he has regained those 7 kgs 😀
Firstly, he is not going as bad as the hysterics on here would suggest .. he is down on form and confidence ... but both those things are temporary and can be overcome ..
I think in defense he is over-reading his role, much like the old over-reading the play ... rather than simply taking his man .. he is what if-ing ..
Needs to just get back to basics .. and let Saab worry about himself ,
No doubt, I was mainly referring (asking?) that if he's not going as good as last year...is it 2nd year syndrome (for manly) or did he mention 'that scottish play' by name.
No, I don't think it is 2nd year syndrome in his case ... just going through a **** of a run ..
Adam Lucius writes in this week's Northern Beaches Review:
"Harping on about Morgan
Des Hasler and Peter Peters are the closest of mates - but that hasn't stopped them having some almighty barnies over the past 30 years.
Zorba tells it as he sees it and Des has never backed away from a stoush and that has led to some frosty exchanges and no contact until the inevitable kiss and make up. The two do not see eye to eye over the selection of centre Morgan Harper, who was turned into roadkill by Cronulla centre Siosifa Talakai in the Sharks' 34-22 win last Thursday. Harper was eventually hooked at half-time and replaced by rookie Tolutau Koula, but the damage was done, the Sea Eagles going to the sheds 32-0 down.
"Fans are screaming about the selection of Morgan Harper. That was one of his (Hasler's) biggest selection blunders ever and it cost his side big time," Zorba told radio's Big Sports Breakfast Weekend. "I don't know what Des was thinking - it was a giant mistake."
In Hasler's defence, he felt dragging Harper out of the game earlier may have damaged the young bloke psychologically.
Zorba responded: "I love Dessie and we're good mates but I don't buy that. He made a mistake and he should have owned up to it. You've got to pick your side on form, not on playing favourites."
Koula's impressive second half form when given an opportunity has left Hasler with no choice but to choose him ahead of Harper."

I don't often like what Zorba has to say but he's spot on here.
Still in the 19. Is it possible for you to stream the genital chopping on Silvertails ?😳
Yes, and it's only Zorba's opinion but in this case have to agree with him.
It’s a great learning experience for Harps if he’s up for it.
