I don’t know if it’s me but the players were all teeth and smiles last year when the same photos were going around.
In these ones there’s not too many smiling faces.

They must be hurting.

They must be hurting.

I hope they are. It means they are going through the first phase of understanding that they have been profoundly underperforming, and why. The next step is discovering the respect and desire to change it.

It all needs to happen as a unit, and this is what our new group of Manly people will be working towards.

Des, Donny, Matty and Monas will be an irresistible driver of what is needed to be a successful Manly team.
These guys are all back for a reason, and one reason only... to make it happen.

They will.

Ballin looks like he could play another season

Back in the day the only one smiling was skivvy.
And that was cause he was crazy...

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Narra would be the most naturally beautiful training ground in the NRL

Look the grass isn’t up to standard. It’s couch, not buffalo.

Maybe Trent the new greenkeeper can sort it out.

Who is the "young" dummyhalf with the ball in his hands. He looks fit enough to play couple more season for our club.

Along with Donny, Des looks like he's really 'whipping' the boys into shape! lol

From what I saw/understand it is Chad's brother Matt? Randall whipping the boys into shape. A new position this year added.

Donny would be involved but seems to be more of the strategist

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

No Hoss Cartwright?

Very interesting. If reports that he was defence coach last year are true I hope he's mowing the grass. From these early pictures it looks like Des may have Ballin as his right hand man? Could only hope so.

My point being (@Fluffy) it looks like Des has a whip in his hand in the photo...

Actually could Cartwright be sent to the reggies to coach blacktown? I bet his contract didn't have a stipulation that he could only be assistant coach.

 

[Scorpio]

No Hoss Cartwright?

He really is the odd man out in this rebuild.

Even if the players like him, I don't see how he would provide more motivation and input than Ballin or Monaghan.

 

[Ryan]

I'd be okay if Cartwright helped attain, acquire, retained players, but the one quality player he DID help getting here in Kelly just jumped ship on us.

Then he's a defensive coach of the worst defensive team in the NRL last season, a Manly teams almost worst ever result in over 70 years history.

The same coach who bought Myles (gone), Ferris (gone) with him, and who laughed at his boss when his nephew was carving us up at Brookvale.

Where's the value add?

Nahhh out with the old wood. This is #Haslers show.

I reckon he's thinking wtf? Baz never made us run that far.
