Yet both club and player are saying “there were no other offers so the club did not table an offer”
Yep, my insider was pretty high up in the management team, and really he only told me because he’d defected to the Dolphins.
Not sure if you'd written it elsewhere but out of interest, if the club had offered DCE around $1.25M per season for the next two years and we could only afford $750K who would you let go and? All clubs (except Roosters and the Storm) are challenged by a salary cap. Unfortunately our salary cap has been way out of balance for too long which is partly why we haven't had a team that is able to consistently be anywhere near challenging for a premiership .... that's not Mestrov's fault.
I don't think we ****ed up ... DCE showing his true colours ... again ... I really think we will come good in a year or two .... finally, - we won our last GF in his first year ... he didn't win it for us .... we had a very good team, and he hasn't led us to another one ... this year WAS a chance of another one .... but its unlikely now ... imho
Yep, pretty well documented now. But as others have mentioned, Seibold has also acknowledged he made some errors back then as well. Heard an in-depth podcast interview recently where he talked about these days being far more focussed on delivering only a couple of simple messages in each session, and checking to make sure the message is getting through. He clearly takes coaching and education very seriously, always open minded and trying to learn more.
Yep we had a good team in 2013 also but Chez got the CCM in a losing side…
Exactly! Who gives a **** where he goes. All i hope is that when we play him, we belt the living tripe out of him and remind him how stupid his decision was. And it would be absolute heavenly sweet poetic justice if we won a comp in the next year or two with someone else leading the team. But i’m not bitter.
If the club could see clearly that they could not afford to pay DCE the money he was worth then dont waste his time and prolong the process and turn into an embarrassing Manly Media Circus
Not sure how you can absolve him of all blame given he’s been our captain for the majority of that time and our controlling half back?? Yeah, there are other factors involved, but the record is undeniable. Perhaps he didn’t lose all those games for us, but he also didn’t win enough games for us either.
Yes I'm not blaming him alone but his leadership has been questioned plenty of times on here by plenty of members ' the headless chook syndrome which appeared many times when we were not winning .... he is dynamite when we are firing all guns but has gone missing many times as captain and one of the worlds best ... imho
I’ll take that as an outcome!
You really do live in your own self-constructed reality, don't you?
Could not agree more with your conclusion. I’m becoming more and more comfortable/excited about him leaving and what the club can do with some new talent.
BOZO’s a Queensalnder don’t forget. He’s sticking up for one of his own. Bloody Queenslanders 🤣 At least once DCE leaves Manly we can start hating on him properly.
DCE did that because the CEO had no diplomacy skill what so ever
I have already explained this in my many previous posts feathered friend
