usually i would be upset, but it has sort of been balanced out with bully to start.

So moving our best dummy half back to the bench so Jake can move back to lock is worth it just for Bully to start??

smh.....:lipssealed:

All this tells me is that I'm unfortunately right. As soon as Croker is back in the side, Simpkin will be back in NSW Cup as Jazz will play the dual role of bench forward and backup dummy half. And you wonder why I think our coach is phoning it in right now.....

We won't win another premiership with DCE in the side, but we'll never win one with Seibold coaching it.
 
He really deserved to be sent packing to a desert conflict somewhere and placed on a diet of kebabs and Arabic coffee. The disgusting kind that gets caught in your throat, thick and unforgiving as your eyes roll into the back of your head. The only other liquid he should be entitled to while there is camels p1ss. Such was the absolute robbery that big headed monster unleashed on this club. Yet another winning play by the recruitment team to appease our money-loving-long-necked-halfback.
Very emotive. Your prose stands out like a shining beacon amongst a sea of hum drum repetitiveness.
 
Of the list of most punchable faces amongst retired players, he would be up there.

Also up there (albeit not yet retired), I give you the Dollar Chaser, screwing the club over on live TV.

You highlighted the Jake to lock part and I mentioned that I was happy to see bully at least in the front row. Where did I mention I was happy with the decision to see simpkin demoted to the bench?
 
$CE has tarnished his legacy at Manly. Imagine working your backside off for the better part of 15 years, only to turn around and self sabotage by eroding any goodwill you've earned from all that hard work; it's so stupid, it beggars belief. I also think it's amusing how these professional athletes seek comfort in the 'opinions of those that matter' like friends and family, and disregard public opinion on the grounds that those people don't matter. Well hey, whatever helps you sleep at night. If I had a legion of supporters suddenly decide that I must be a dollar chasing turncoat with no integrity, I would probably stop and look in the mirror.

Agreed, you didn't. But unfortunately the move to start Bully in the front row instead of Jake resulted in all of the changes. If he'd have replaced Taukeiaho there wouldn't be any need for the other changes.

I have no issue starting Bullemor. He's been good off the bench, lets see how he goes as a starter. The issue I have is that once again our coach has made changes which IMO are to the detriment to the side. No offence to Jazz who does his best, but he is a lock, not a dummy half.

I’d personally like to see Bully come on against a tiring pack. He has been our most lethal forward this season and the bench isn’t what it use to be in previous seasons. I also think Jake can’t play more than 15/20 mins anymore to be effective. If Bully is the replacement for Jake you can almost guarantee him 50/60 mins a game. All my opinion but that’s what I would be doing.

I think Lodge might start this week, with Bullemore back on the bench and either Brown or Waddell dropping out of the 17. Of those two, I also think that Waddell is a slightly better option than Brown. I would start Simpkin and use Tevaga in the middle rotation off the bench, bringing him on at the same time as Bullemore for more leg speed against a tiring Cowboys pack. Ideally, Jake should come off simultaneously, to be replaced by Navale, but we all know that's simply not going to happen.

This dce hating bandwagon is close to a sell out. Never thought I'd see the day.
Nobody is bigger than the club.. and the fans come a close second because we are the club.

Players come and go.. but many come, form bonds and never really leave.. they become Manly...they may play elsewhere but they are Manly to the core.

Spud, Fatty, Bozo (rip), and Co..the list goes on..

But DCE has fallen into the same abyss as Brett Kimmorley and Nate Myles.. and who are they?.. Manly fans don't care.

He knew what he was doing, he said a much.."I know there will be a lot of upset fans"..
What he didn't count on was that people are not stupid and they saw through his BS.. so now he basically doesn't care.. out in the open as realistically he never cared.

For me Waddell and Burbo are too similar. I think we need to choose one or the other (I like Burbo over Waddell because he offers the ability to cover centre if needed). I also just love seeing Brown come from the back fence lol.

Obviously Paseka is our top forward but for this season I’d like to see

8. Jurbo (opening 10/15 mins of each half)
9. Simpkin (100% better option than jazz at #9)
10. Takz
11. Ola
12. Ben
13. Jazz

14. Bully
15. Lodge
16. Navale
17. Back Fence Brown

We have enough cover in Jazz, Burbo, Lehi to cover almost any position. We have the Lucy art of not picking a small man on the bench imo

Yep. Don't have to convince me.. I'm one of the founding members

We won't win one with Brooks either nor Fogarty.
