Haha, yes it has started hasn't it...you watch, 1 more week, 1 more week, 1 more week...yawn!Round 10 maybe , my gut feel !
oh and “ compare the pair “
Sonic the Hedgehog currently on 450k and the Storm are offering him a 3 year extension at $800k and not interested in moving to another club for more $$$
Tommy Tissue on circa 1 million and has barely played a game in 12 months.
I am over Turbo. As alluded to previously, he is well on his way to graduating with honours from the ‘Johnny Gibbs College of Footballing Greatness Destroyed by Residual Injuries’.
But the real problem at Manly isn’t an injury riddled superstar or an overpaid half or a coach who seems out of touch (but probably is not) with modern footballing.
It’s an off-field set up beholden to the whims of one family*, with no other centre of gravity able to properly challenge or dominate them.
Our administration appears to be underfunded and shambolic, not like the powerhouse clubs - Melbourne, Easts, Souths or nowadays (the Fitzgerald era now long gone) Parramatta.
*There are parallels with the past and Arthurson’s and his acolyte Fulton’s association with the club, however I am quite certain I will get the ‘thumbs down/dislike’ treatment if I raise them here.
That appeared to be a case of one tectonic plate holding the other at bay.Honestly, and despite the issues , when their were two owners , and even with the factional wars , we were seemingly better run.
I think this is the clubs biggest issue at present , followed closely by a coach living in the past.
no thumbs down from me.
"club powerbrokers began preparing to overhaul the support systems for coach Des Hasler and the club’s under-fire squad."
Didn't all the numbnuts on here bag the shiite out of Barrett for demanding Penn provide the coaching staff resources expected of a serious NRL team ... Oh how times and attitudes change ...
Trent has all the staff resources at the dogs and on record he currently has coached the dogs down to the worst team in history"club powerbrokers began preparing to overhaul the support systems for coach Des Hasler and the club’s under-fire squad."

Des won Grand finals with the same resources at Manly previously
If a coach can not build resilience in his players all the resources count for nothing
Read my post again feathered friendKeep drinking the raspberry cordial mate .... are you suggesting this current team with one win in 14 games is showing "resilience "
At least Barrett has signed Burton and Josh Ado Carr for next season ... taking positive steps ... let's see who we sign ..

The Ying & the YangThat appeared to be a case of one tectonic plate holding the other at bay.
What about those saying Donny Singe would make them the fittest in the comp"club powerbrokers began preparing to overhaul the support systems for coach Des Hasler and the club’s under-fire squad."

One thing for certainRubbish ... Dessie had dank the chemist, goats blood, GPS before it was standard and was spending a motza in the football office ... It was Penn's crackdown on all the spending that caused the big split ..
