Out of Adversity comes Opportunity to Rise like Sea eagles again !!!

[Shnorky]

We have yet to get the spoon, or 13 of them .....in a row. Rock bottom is still a long way away

 

[robbiea]

Do you mean adversity ?

 

[Chuck]

Trent started as a NRL coach in 2016
He has had 2 full years experience so I would still consider him a rookie coach .
I would not consider him as an experienced coach .

2 1/3 seasons of first grade is your definition of rookie?

You know you can't just rewrite definitions to suit your narrative?

Well most are disagreeing with @BOZO but I’m not, I think he might be right.

I mentioned in another thread ( and got a number of disagree’s) but I said “ we’ve never won the spoon and won’t this year”.

Oh sure, top 4 or even top 8 is a long shot , in fact a very long shot BUT I’m damned sure those 20 players left don’t want to never be able to sing the victory song again in 2018.

And I’m damned sure those 20 players left don’t want to get smacked around the park for every game for the rest of the year.

What will happen ( and I don’t exactly know when) is we’ll click, and when we do we will surprise the **** out of the other team who will expect us to be easybeats.

AND

Just one win will see some confidence return!

I’m not sure when but it will happen!!

How low is rock bottom ?
I think the team is at that spot now cause they haven’t got the fight in them to break through the rock to get any lower
They need to have a good look at each other to discover the fight in them to build the rocks on top of each other to climb above the adversity that they find themselves in

 

[bazeagle]

There is a positive out of every situation
The bad news is that we have hit rock bottom with drama off field and loss of form and players on it .
The good news is that after hitting rock bottom there is no other way but to go up .
Rock bottom is our final awakening
Our Coach Trent is a rookie coach and there is no education like adversity
Our roster is down but we do have enough quality elite players around that can lift the whole team
Adversity coupled with necessity gives rise to new found energy and innovation
Roosters be ware . You are playing a new Manly team this week and you wont know what hit you.
Go the mighty Sea eagles !!!

I was wondering when this type of rallying call post would appear......the fact is we are toast this year. better to accept it, sack Barrett as a failed endeavour and start over. the saga(s) of the past few weeks indicate to me a far deeper malaise within the club than is being revealed - there's too many conflicting storylines and too many clear factions within the playing group which is death in a team environment not to mention the "pranking" sorry I mean bullying. the club created this mess - there is nobody else to blame so then the club needs to take it's medicine, and make key changes where needed.

You know, I thought we'd hit rock bottom in 2016 and we were supposed to be on the rise this year? We've really dropped back and this is shaping up as worse than 2016.

Can’t disagree with you on that , this is the lowest ebb since 2002-3.

The only way is up, but given our situation can’t see that happening in 2018.

I however don’t think it’s all doom and gloom, it’s a long season and just one win would change things up big time.

And don’t be surprised to see it happen when we all least expect it.

 

[brad]

Manly always rise above any adversity and this is no different, we will bounce back . Parramatta can have the ****ing spoon.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Loss of games , Loss of players . Loss off form . Drama off the field . That is low enough for me .

Mate we are still digging, these next 4 weeks could get ugly.

 

[winnyason]

Serious bozo the place is ****ed there no next season. Given the actual bozo went and signed players to back ended deal that hit next season jake, tom, dylan and marty all hit end of next season.
We cant sign anyone unless the 660 penalty overturned. I say points would have been better.
Need another sport to follow

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Very probably right ,and if I was a betting man I’d go that way BUT maybe, just maybe it’s an upset that sees us turn things around!!

 

[BOZO]

I hope not mate as it is pretty ugly as it is right now .
Right now our boys have been booed by their own fans , grilled by the press , and embarrassed by the opposition teams .
Right now the chips are down and the stakes are high .
Right now we are in the eye of the storm .
We got our selves in the corner and the only way out is to come out fighting and I believe our troops will do that against the Cooper Cronk myth roosters .

The fact is it ain't over until its over .
I believe our club is more resilient that what you give them credit for
How can you just close the book ?
The club did create this mess and they have an opportunity to overcome adversity and rewrite the story.
I have not given up hope .

Well said feathered friend
All it will take is just one win .....
To turn our form around
To turn the press around
To turn the fans around
To turn our fate around .
I can understand how some believe that it is hard for Manly to turn things around,
but I never underestimate a team , a Manly team with its back against the wall .
Look out Chooks , the Sea eagles are starving for a win !

 

[BOZO]

2 1/3 seasons of first grade is your definition of rookie?

You know you can't just rewrite definitions to suit your narrative?

I don't think that 2 and 1/3 seasons makes an experienced coach .
We will agree to disagree

 

[Chuck]

"Experienced" is completely arbitrary.

Rookie means first season.

There's no agreeing to disagree on that.

In that case I was wrong because rookie to me means an inexperienced coach still learning

Wayne Bennett is still learning Bozo

 

[Frogz]

Manly always rise above any adversity and this is no different, we will bounce back . Parramatta can have the ****ing spoon.

They have won 2 games also and still have a sh1tload of players to chose from.
