Many have given a lot of valuable consideration to the players that need to improve their games and attitudes for Manly to reurn to the level we demand .... Jack Gibson always stated that success starts with the front office .... and whilst we may differ on why there has been a change ... the fact is a change has been made and this team is being supported ...
But what about Dessie ..... make no mistake, this year is as much about his redemption and resurrection as the players ..
At the end of his tenure at Doggies the kennell was calling for his summary castration .... he was clueless, past his use by date, boring, no game plans and no ideas ..... he was being openly criticised by the sports journo's as a coach who the game has left behind .... not to mention the circumstances of his departure from Brookie in 2011 ...
But Manly have always risen to a challenge ..... and you knock a champion at your peril ...... and I believe Des will rise from the ashes on the back of a new-age new look young Sea Eagles squad hungry for success after the past years of turmoil ..
But as I said .... make no mistake .... this year Dessie knows he has a lot to play for ... and a lot to lose ....
