What’s the Buzz: Favourite son Geoff Toovey returning home to Manly Sea Eagles​

Geoff Toovey is arguably Manly’s most popular player of all time — and after a bitter split with the club, he’s set to return to Brookvale.


Manly legend Geoff Toovey is returning home to Brookvale after an eight-year absence.
The former coach and champion halfback has agreed to take on a senior role with the football club as coaching director of Harold Matthews, SG Ball and Jersey Flegg.
He will also assist with the mentoring of some of the younger NRL stars.
The likes of struggling five-eighth Josh Schuster would benefit enormously from Toovey’s guidance.
“Tooves has got so much to offer us,” Manly chief executive Tony Mestrov said.

Manly Sea Eagles legend Geoff Toovey is coming home to Brookvale.
“Everyone is so happy to have him back; the players and all the staff.
“The members and fans will love it, too. He is so popular and so respected.
“The junior reps program is such an important part of an NRL club.
“Tooves will oversee the coaching of our best juniors to ensure they are ready for NRL when their time comes.”
Toovey is arguably the Sea Eagles’ most popular player of all time.
He played 286 games for Manly and Northern Eagles.
He coached the club between 2012 and 2015 for a 58 per cent win record before leaving in emotional circumstances.

Geoff Toovey is arguably the Sea Eagles’ most popular player of all time.
Toovey’s departure – when he was sacked and replaced by Trent Barrett in 2016 – became one of the most bitter upheavals in the club’s history.
He has previously rejected opportunities to return to the club, instead working for Warringah Rats rugby union club and in an assistant role with the NSW women’s State of Origin side.
He was also on the coaching staff of the Samoan team that made the final of the World Cup.

Hey Duff old mate ... was your editing out of the last paragraph of the story an accident ... or deliberate?

My tele says .."He (2V) is impressed with the way the club is run under Mestrov and head coach Seibold "

Loves tooves. Can we get him around the first grade side too? Maybe work on their attitude.

 

[The Royal Soup]

our next first grade coach

 

[Golden Greek]

Best news I have had in along time - Im sure he will help not just the junior pathways but also our struggling NRL youngsters
He should never have been sacked in the first place - Scott Penn should now say something !!! not Tony.

 

[mickqld]

His first job should be to go and kick the $800K sook's arse into gear. Needs a few home truths from a real club legend.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Welcome back Toovs now it's time for an investigation , Get this great club back on track

Exactly! Apply the pressure cooker technique and rustle some feathers, now he is back!

Oh we must be ****ed. If the club after all these years are actually bringing back the Toovs back home. Why the sudden need to get supporters on side and have us all feel good about the club? Something big and unpopular is about to drop for sure. Baton down the Hatcher's and load up on AFL all of a sudden, as the Sea Eagles must be once again about to commence an invasion and declare war.

We didn't have to wait long, did we.
Hours later and bam non other than son of the immortal, the bloke that brought most of our kids here from out west, Scotty I like Crabs and my dad's the coach Fulton off to the tigers.

Just happens to be Shoes biggest advocate. What a coincidence, wow what are the chances.

Is it Tartek Scotty is close with? Who only happens to be the manager for half our team.

Seems the rumours are right. And two player managers and our club are letting off some bombs.

Wouldn't even be surprised if the Shoe/ injury/fitness/ attitude=dust up was deliberate.

The old, if you won't release me I'll be a naughty boy.

FMD we were sitting 2nd.

 

[The '47ers]

"Met" Toovey once, was a complete farkwit to all the supporters that stayed to get some autographs etc. They say first impressions matter

And then there was the lobster pot incident…

Name me a person that is incident free Tezz ?
Because if you do you are lying as there is no such an incident free living human being

 

[double hoops]

**** I used to call Scotty some names when he played. But credit where credit is due. He appears to have done an amazing job in recruitment, certainly a much better at finding kids that can play footy, then his old man was at finding a bloke that could coach footy.

Work that out?

Nah forget that. Put the number 6 on him and give him a run. Can't be worse than what we have now.
