Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I still have not seen anything that went anywhere near explaining exactly what went wrong. If anyone can explain why we lost all that cap money coz of a 3rd party illegality, that would be great.
[Resurrected] SACK Des Hasler!!

Having Hasler back brought back past champions like Snake, Ballin, Monaghan, and Cleal in the coaching department. And let's not forget that Gifty and Watmough have been seen around frequently since Hasler came back since the last mob burnt that bridge and that includes Penny boy.

Aka - the Greenberg Effect.
What I don't get is ... if he is prepared to say the shiite he did ... why doesn't he have the balls to sack Dessie ... if he seriously thinks Dessie is going to walk without a cheque .... he is dumber than we all thought ...
Am I just being a blinkered Manly supporter to say that that seems just a tad difficult to police and that maybe we were used as an example??
Twist in Hasler saga could put ball back in Manly’s court
In an alleged bid to force him out, Manly are seeking to impose strict conditions on Des Hasler. In an unexpected twist, the coach may be prepared to accept them.

Imagine if Des stays for 23’ and we had a successful season
Would be a chef’s kiss
Love it. He’s a fighter until the end. Certainly a trait our players could learn!
Penn probably will sack Des now though; largely out of fear of us having a good 23’ season.
But really all Penn needs to do now is say OK and **** off back to the USA again until next year (or at least until the next crisis he causes comes to a head)

I think Penn would do just about anything to win a comp. Not a fan but think he is smart enough to take advantage of a backs to the wall Des.Imagine if Des stays for 23’ and we had a successful season

Really hope it is true. Gives Des a chance to demonstrate if he should have been retained. It also speaks to other clubs who may consider hiring him. The sensible move, if that's what he has decided.
Man, Angela Lansbury would be proud of THIS "Who dunnit"!
Ooh FFS can we just get on and make a decision one way or the other. Just give us some fuking stability.
I can't get my head around Dessie ending his career on a 0-7 run with minimal payout. Turn up and pocket $900K or walk away with $450K and a better end of career record.
Seibold would be a good assistant at least and be an improve on Randall and Cartwright.

Poor Angela. Taken too soon.
THis is a disaster waiting to happen. Both can't stay, the season is over before it starts.
Once she realised she wasn't going to be getting a congrats letter from the Queen when she reached 100, she thought - meh! 🙂

I don't know about sensible, but the comedy value would be priceless.
The Des and Anthony Show - Who's on 1st, What's on 2 nd, I don't know is on 3 rd ......... I just can't see how it's going to work.
