[Resurrected] SACK Des Hasler!!

[Brookie Bob]

There are a lot of unsigned players from numerous club ATM. There is also uncertainty around what the salary cap will be at going forward. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Expect a flurry of announcements from all clubs once the season's finished, and the cap for next year is 100% known.

Expect more once November rolls around - for signings from the start of 2024 onward.

My real concern is how Manly is going to attract the better (available) talent, when our (a) finish this year/ rumored internal strife is factored in, (b) the cost of living on the northern beaches is factored in (yeah, I know it's also a plus to live there), (c) our facilities are compared with others, and (d) overcoming other competitive advantages other teams might be perceived to have.

Player agents (an increasing blight on the game) may also be unfavorably disposed to us verses 'well-connected' teams (think Melbourne, Roosters, Souffs). Lots of behind the scenes things going on, no doubt.

Cadel Evans explains why becoming world champion, and earning the right to wear rainbow stripes for life, is more desired than yellow jerseys or gold medals.

Such negativity on view in this thread! I can't believe I haven't seen a post yet predicting Manly will lose every single game next year, and will go on to claim the greatest losing streak in rugby league history.

Don't forget to add who our coach will be for next season.

the greatest losing streak in rugby league history.

Maybe if the last seven losses are added to next year's (possible) losses. However, for a change, I think we might start the season well

The Roosters lost every game in 1966, but finished 4th in 1967 (with new coach Jack Gibson).

For a man who likes to tick every box, it's safe to say that the only bloke not in Manly colours is making a predictably stubborn point.

We will never lower our selves down to ouright disgrace and dishonour and win the wooden spoon like all the other Penriths , roosters , rabbits , storms , eels etc etc

It is not in the spirit or the DNA of our Legendary club

The only way is up up and away for the Sea eagles in 2023

Des is a very proud Manly Man , He is under the Pump to deliver and 2023 is the year of deliverance !

 

[BOZO]

2023 LET US SOAR ABOVE ADVERSITY LIKE GREAT EAGLES AND DELIVER !

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

That'll do me ... I have heard murders justify their crimes ... but that is the greatest piece of self-satisfying dribble I have every read ...

You obviously never 're' read any of your own gold plated unicorn poo encrusted dribble then?

Thanks for the photo feathered friend

There are three premiership winning Manly Legends in that photo

DCE ,
Dual premiership back to back winner Max Brown
and multi premiership winning player and coach Des Hasler

The other two Jake and Tom have a lot of living up to do

50 years celebration of 1972 win

Winning is Everything at Manly

And we proudly celebrate all the Manly legends that glorified our Legendary club

with the ultimate honour of Premiership winning success

God Bless all those Manly Greats that Made Manly the Greatest Club ever !

 

[BOZO]

In 2023 season we only have one expectation and that is Great expectations

May we be all worthy of living up to our Legendary clubs Benchmark of Greatness

Anything else is a an anti-climax and Anti Manly

Lower our Great expectations and we stand for nothing Great

 

[BOZO]

Nothing Great has ever been inspired by Negativity

Let us all have the courage and the character to become positive sparks

Let us light up our forum with optimistic Manly posts

And Inspire our club to success in 2023

Bozo Bozo Bozo ...
6 of the last 8 posts are yours. May I politely suggest that it was this sort of overkill that led to abuse earlier this year which saw you step away from the forum.
Many missed you. Of course you can do what you like but just a thought that you might want to restrain yourself a little ... or go and have sex which you seem to also have a bit of an interest in. Just a guess.

You obviously never 're' read any of your own gold plated unicorn poo encrusted dribble then?

So, let's re-cap, it is your brilliant belief that Dessie ... rather than spent 4 years building the team he wants ... simply re-signed existing players .. because they were .. wait for it ... because they were already here and it was easier ...

I obviously have a higher opinion of Dessie than you do, if you are seriously putting forward that argument ...

Or, as I stated earlier ... it is waffle and dribble of podium quality ...
