Totally agree.. We've gone all soft!
That's for sure !Also what a difference a week makes From a golden point loss against the Knights to a record 54 - 0 mauling of the eels . Consistency is what builds a teams character and I hope we can build up on the eels win .
Too true . We are all a bunch of soft cocks here . We should all harden up
You'll find my feathered friend:
* Game was in 1994 (no chance being 96 as that was the year we beat them in the GF)
* Beaver scored 2
* The reference was for highest margin against Parra (as others pointed out)
* Our biggest overall win was actually 70-7 v Penrith in 1972 (as others pointed out)

The only thing I don't like about TB is the manner in which he talks to the media after a loss. The heavy hitting teams coaches don't defend defend defend the performance and throw around the brave in defeat and we never gave up cliches. They call a spade a spade and identify where the effort or execution wasn't up to scratch. No sugarcoating. Footballers are big boys and when they need a kick up the ass its not disrespectful to them to show as a coach ure not happy at a press conference.
DCE credits Barrett for newfound focus

Daly Cherry-Evans credits the fact Trent Barrett is a recently retired playmaker with improving his game by helping him find his focus.
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles captain is into his second season being coached by Barrett, who hung up the boots in 2010 after a stellar career which included 235 first-grade games in the No.6 and at No.7 jerseys at the Illawarra Steelers, St George Illawarra Dragons and Cronulla Sharks, the 2000 Dally M medal, as well as 11 appearances for NSW and 15 Tests for Australia.
"He's been really, really good to work with. The first year he was here he gave me a lot of time to try and develop my game," Cherry-Evans told NRL.com.
"He was really good on what my focus should be leading into games and how my preparation should look.
"It's not to say my other coaches (Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey) didn't help me with that. But Trent was a much more current halfback having retired not all that long ago (2010). So he still had a really good understanding of where the game is at in regards to preparation and what's now required as the game has changed."
DCE is enjoying the empathy he shares with Barrett as they try to return Manly to the glory days of 2005-2014 when the Sea Eagles were part of 10 straight NRL playoff campaigns, including four grand finals and two premierships in 2008 and 2011.
There is a feeling around Sydney's northern beaches that the Sea Eagles, under Barrett and Cherry-Evans' leadership, are on the verge of domination again.
The biggest Barrett influence on the 29-year-old halfback's game has been the larger stamp he has on each match.
"Last year I loved my involvement. I loved the way I was involved throughout our games," he said.
"It might be hard to judge that, or put a stat against it, but I know when I walk off the field if I've had enough involvement in that game of football.

"It might be hard to judge that, or put a stat against it, but I know when I walk off the field if I've had enough involvement in that game of football.
"I'm always going to continue on the kicking, the passing, the tackling – and those things are easy to stat – I want to be busier this year. I want to be in everything this year within my role.
"I don't want to overstep my role in the side because we've all got clear roles to play out, but there's room in my role to improve and grow again this season."
Barrett has been a rock for the players as match-fixing allegations and then salary cap breaches emerged in media reports. The NRL cleared the club on the former and fined them on the latter. That breach notice is still in discussion between Sea Eagles management and the NRL integrity unit
"One of Trent's best assets is his honesty," Cherry-Evans said.
"Everyone knows on the club where they stand with Trent and when our club has come into situations of media scrutiny, whether it's salary cap, betting scandals or team form, he does address it with us.
"He makes it very clear what we can control and what we can't and how we go about that balance. Trent is very good on making us focus on what is important."
After forward Brenton Lawrence retired at the end of 2017, Cherry-Evans is the sole survivor from Manly's 2011 Telstra Premiership-winning side.
"That sounds sad. But it is important to me to use my powers for the betterment of this side," he said.
"I'd hate for people to look at me within the four walls of Manly and think 'This guy is only trying to help himself'. I like to keep a very optimistic and very wholesome approach to our team and how we play and how the mood is around the place.
"While it may look like I'm out there on my own on the leadership front, I can assure you there are those in our side who might not look like senior players but they most certainly are.
"They make my job easier and they are the ones I go to. Someone that has helped like that in a quick amount of time is Joel Thompson. He's played 200 games of first grade and while he may never have captained his former club, I know how much of a leader he must have been down there (at the Dragons) because his influence has been instant here"He's been great for me to talk to and help implement the standards we want here."

The moral of the story is everybody loves a winner !!!
