The Elephant in the room

[globaleagle]

Looks like 'the mole' is on board....

The elephant in the room at the Sea Eagles has been exposed, with the side struggling since Daly Cherry-Evans' dramatic announcement that he would be leaving in 2026.

Never been a fan of this metaphor. For starters, how many rooms have a doorway big enough for an elephant to get through?
Not going to happen.

The elephant was a baby when it entered the room and then it grew to become the elephant in the room......

The first bid for a pay rise was the baby elephant* omen back in 2012.

The “ Mole” lives on here and picks up most of his stories about Manly , from here. Lazy prick has even used my words 😂😂😂

And they didn't recognise the baby elephant because it was wearing sunglasses.

The elephant turns out to be a mouse. The team looked happy with DCE tonight. Especially with that try saver in the second half.

They did handle the tusks in front of them tonight but there are still some grey areas.

He definitely had one of his better games. What we need now is consistency - from him and from the whole team.

And turbo in the squad
And a nine who can play nine.

Weird right.

Turbo just unlocks everything doesnt he? still scares the defending team even if he doesn't get the ball.

His mere presence is enough. Not many players can play busted and still have the defence continually guessing like he can.

Reminds me so much of snake. Completely different player but has the same effect.

To the Spoonbold brigade, who are shockingly absent, who thought we would have 50 put on us - ye have little faith. I tipped us this week, and I was right. Our execution was greater with longer prep.

Just don't ask me if I tipped Manly last week lol

Absent. LOL I am still here.

Spoony cannot take any credit for this win. Injuries and suspension forced his hand, not selection insight.

Yep I'll give you credit for that. You do stick around, and to your word, even if I think your word is completely rubbish 🤣

Much prefer that than a lot of the people here, who just disappear when the narrative is against their opinion for that time.
