    Bob Reilly

    Can't agree with your first question. The Football Club members agreed to privatisation on the basis that they would retain certain rights under its preference share, one of which was the right to have 2 Directors on the Sea Eagles Board. The deal that was offered (and the private...

    Des - Merged Thread

    RE: Des to sign new contract next week??? Agree. Look at Geelong. It was all doom and gloom when they lost their 2 time premiership winning coach Mark Thompson at the end of last season (and their best player Gary Ablett), yet they came back and won the premiership this year with a new...

    Manly Reveal grand designs

    You can't really see it unless you blow the pics up to A3 size, but these drawings actually show the Jane Try Stand roof as it currently is, ie lower than the Arko Stand roof. The existing Plan of Management specifically forbids the Jane Try roof going any higher than its current height. Of...

    THANKYOU MICHAEL ROBERTSON

    Well spotted IMT. I was about to post that in all the talk about Glenn Stewart's brilliant play with the grubber in his own 20m that none of the commentators or press or anyone seemed to have noticed that without Robbo deliberately positioning himself wide out on Hoppas wing while Hoppa was...

    To the so-called "Family" club - you're kidding aren't you?

    At the risk of speaking too soon with 10 mins to go, but Geelong lost their premiership coach, Mark Thompson to Essendon and yet they have managed to carry on and still be successful without him. They even lost their star player Gary Ablett. If Des does choose to go it won't be the end of...

    Its my Birthday!

    Happy Birthday Rusty. October 1 is a popular day for Manly birthdays. Happy Birthday also to Arko, Melinda Gainsford-Taylor and Mouse. A great Manly day. I hope you all get the same present that you are wishing for tomorrow.

    He spent $15m saving Manly

    I am not sure why the constant need to run Delmege down at every opportunity, but at least get your facts straight. In 2002, the first year after the end of the joint venture, but still using the name Northern Eagles, Manly were staring at a loss of $2.5m (after a Leagues Club grant of only...

    Bartholomews & The Christmas Triplets Greatest Hits

    I don't remember the specific calls but certainly remember the hosts going on about the callers wasting 30 cents as if that was some devastating comeback that would make you finally see sense and drop off. Well done for having the foresight to record the calls. Individually they are mildly...

    He spent $15m saving Manly

    No different to Scott saying the "Penn family has sunk about $5 million into the Sea Eagles" in yesterdays article in The Australian. He is counting the Penn Health sponsorship in order to try to get to $5 mill, but I don't begrudge either of them that because they both paid way over the...

    Scott Penn to bail out Sea Eagles again as plans are prepared for $50m stadium

    No problem with differences of opinion, as you say, you often need that to bring out the best ideas and outcomes. But what we don't need is those differences being aired publicly all the time. I can't imagine Quantum are at all happy with many aspects if that article. Please let's not go down...

    Scott Penn to bail out Sea Eagles again as plans are prepared for $50m stadium

    How else are you supposed to read that. Why tell the world there was supposedly a split on the Board other than to make yourself look good and the others look bad? From how it all played out, Zorba would know how hard they were really fighting for him so a public statement like this is not...

    Scott Penn to bail out Sea Eagles again as plans are prepared for $50m stadium

    Well, well well. It is grand final week and the Penns are dumping on their Co-Owner again, only this time it is not Delmege, but Quantum. I am sure Quantum must really appreciate being saddled with the blame for getting rid of Zorba now that the Penns have absolved themselves of all...

    Maroon Jerseys for GF?

    With the Storm out and us the next best ranked team, I assume we get first pick of which jersey we play in for the GF ?? I much prefer the Maroon strip over the White strip. Notwithstanding our 2 premierships wearing white in the late 70's, it is our Maroon with White Hoops strip that...

    The Monday ticket release

    What was peoples experience in 2008 buying tickets on the Monday? Should I be queuing up early at a ticketek outlet or doing it online? I was overseas in 2008 so I don't want to miss out this time.

    e-mail from manly leagues club re des

    Go back to the thread about what Graeme Hughes said and Rothfield's story and look at the way people were lapping it up as gospel. If some of the posters on here are representative of the wider fan base then clearly the story couldn't be left to fester uncountered, otherwise we would be...
