Tony Mestrov, new CEO

[The Who]

Mestrov seems a straight shooter to me. He also seems to love the Sea Eagles and is trying to regain some of the local culture we seemed to lose with our former 'west is best' approach to recruitment. He must have played a role in having Manly selected as one of the four clubs to play in Vegas, and the team has tried hard over the past month despite being depleted by injuries and being screwed by The Bunker.
I don't know how much influence a CEO has over individual performances, but I'm optimistic about the form of Bully, Burbo, Koala, Tent and Sippers, all of whom have improved. Sandwich and Froggy are all heart and vital parts of our team, and DCE has had a stellar year.
I've said it many times in recent years, we are now a battling suburban club that won't ever be able to consistently challenge for a premiership until our ownership model changes and we have the money to set up pathways in Pacifica and the south island of New Zealand.

We had a very productive partnership with the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles from 2009-2013 until Greenturd with the NSWRL ar*eholes banned us from having that association as well as a NSW cup team. Low and behold next year the purple scum linked with them and has reaped the rewards since as well as having associations with NSW cup teams. Another nrl backstabbing farce.

Also, we had a partnership with Wynnum Manly in the day. Made sense both named Manly, now they're with the Broncs and getting good jnrs out of it ,Selwyn Cobbo the latest.

Thanks @Dion Johnson lots to unpack there.

Big Tony certainly has his sh*t together very impressive.

I like his dig at Dessie on the way out. More subtle than Ricky!

If Tony gets Brookie upgrade done then he deserves to get one of the new Grandstands named after him

More likely to see the Penn I Stand, Pen II Stand, and the Penn III Stand.

how about plain old Pen1stand

 

[Rackets]

Good listening to. He definitely has his s##t together and says all the right things. Also confirmed that Josh won't play for Manly again. Sad it's come to that but it was Josh's lack of effort and commitment that the club had no other choice but to do what had to be done.
Hopefully they have earmarked someone else who they think can come in, whenever that may be, and fullfill that void now that Shu is gone.

Got to love the Mestrov.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

He is doing a good job.

The Burdekin Association recently attended the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Business Breakfast! We were privileged to hear from Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov (right), GM John Bonasera (left), and legend Steve 'Beaver' Menzies. We're proud to be a community partner!

Would be perfect timing for the administration department to announce a signing or two this week for this season.

Looks like it’s Manlys turn again for injuries with starting to bite.

Mestrov is doing an outstanding job. Can't fault him. The number and size of our off field staff look great too (people have to acknowledge Penn here).

I just listened to the podcast. Tony is very impressive and I hope he hangs around for a long long time. Just seems to be a Manly boy.

Main take-outs for me from the interview were
1. Main focus in pre-season will be on defence as it wasn’t good enough this year
2. Lehi will be extended for a good period
3. Tommy is on the other side of his problem with injuries and will finish his career at the club. Not necessarily at fullback
4. Bateman unlikely as will need to move a player or two and Manly isn’t willing to do so
