Over the last year I have never felt so anxious about being a Sea Eagle. We saw our once great club fall apart at the seems.
The crowds at Brookvale are atrocious and something will need to be done to get them back. The contestant talk about upgrades to Brookie are at the point where enough is enough. We all know the agenda of the NRL is to have us gone but it would be a stupid move.
When I grew up all the kids at school talked league. I went to a school that played Rugby but we all talked and played both.
Most of my mates don’t watch anymore and some have turned to AFL. The NRL is loosing the battle with AFL and it thinks that the only battle ground is the Western suburbs. If they continue to ignore the plight of the north it will spread to the north west also.
The numbers of juniors whom play the game north of the bridge are also something that needs to be addressed. Junior development needs to be addressed ASAP as son whom is 9 has no mates at his school whom wish to play or even follow the game.
Over the last 15 years the only thing that was holding onto any respectability was the fact that Manly was successful and that was it. Now we are not successful I fear for the club.
Relocation is something that we should all be very worried about as we have a very low member rate and a terrible junior base.
I think Bozo was brought in a few years ago to try and address these issues but it was too much for him.
The Penns are out of their depth and I think they have finally realised that we could be extinct if we don’t do something.
I know a lot of people on here tend to think that they have an agenda themselves but I disagree. I think they just are constant fighting the NRL whom want us gone. Anyone ever involved in a corporate fight knows how much it can take out of your sails.
The football deparment seems to be the thing that gets overlooked in all the battles we have with the NRL.
The time is now if we are ever going to survive as a club to turn the ledger in our favour, results on the field will lead to more tv time, more sponsors, more fans, more money.
It seems like Gorman is listeneing and might be what we have needed over the last few years but always failed to achieve.
Hopefully Toovey, Jason King and Steve Menzies whom all have university degrees in areas we need to be better are contacted and asked to help. All are locals all are local juniors and all are ex manly captains. They all still have passion for the club.
If Des is brought back he would be the first piece of the puzzle to helping us out of our dire situation. But as we know results on the field are not enough.
Go Manly
