Agree with everything you said champ.Avoid the spoon, clear out dead wood, sign quality players to replace them. Spend the rest of the year blooding young talent as much as the second tier cap will allow.
This was never going to be our year.
I like the way your thinking but I prefer this scenario.........." **** my head hurts, what year is this....2008, cool...."Time Travel : That somehow, time slips forward to September 2016, and we don't have to experience the embarrassment of watching each game.
Definitely show some ticker to begin with, get some troops back, then beat the Titans this weekend, then beat the Dragons, Warriors, Raiders, & Knights at Brookie (very doable) and smash the Eels away. That's 6 more wins plus a bye, so finish on 24 points. Not making the 8 but at least having a bit of dig & no spoon.
Baz running the water bottle for Tooves.RIP Zorba & Bozo would be a good start. Both to retire.
Baz running the water bottle for Des.
That will do me.
I would like too see a lot of effort and energy in every game left win or lose. I would like too see us utilise our youth in knight, AFB and potentially Meehan if possible giving them the experience they need to be first grade ready for next year along with a few key quality recruitments come July 1stExpectations for many were very,very high for 2016...
Its turned into an absolute nightmare season....
Injuries, attitude , defence, intimidation, teamwork, combinations, commitment, respect, management, coaching ect, ect.
At this point - what would make you at least...kind of...satisfied, for the remainder of 2016?
*Personally would like to see the players show more pride & effort, regardless of wins/losses.
*The coaching staff show more "We give a damn about Manly"
*The dead wood (inc older big names) to be replaced by 2-3 young quality signings - not this recent - Average Joe signings to sit in a NSW Cup side.
*Revise the training strategy, as currently no fitter & injuries are contagious.
*Also prefer the 3-4 quality players who have come through the Manly system, get a chance to show their ability rather than getting what we expect from the same players, regardless of the same inept performances.
Interested to see what other Silvertails would like to see from here to seasons end - to make 2016 , though not a great season - satisfactory as a pass mark, on what is today a F-
I have far more left than that.On the back of the monumental failure of Manly in 2016 all I have left now is death riding the Broncos.
GO THE CAPRAS!!!!
FMD....the bottom of this barrel is as rusty as all feck!
Didn't happen to notice if Harold Holt was down there?
