Memo: Manly
No worries - we can agree to disagree. I hold my footy club to a higher standard than just winning premierships.... I think Manly means more than winning. Its about how we treat people, how we behave, and how we represent our local community/area. But I have always held this line - this is why I...- Harmless27

Memo: Manly
Poorly written article, misdirected criticism - but there is an underlying truth and subtext.... We stood on the precipice of greatness. The eyes of the world were turned our way (and i am afraid to say, that leads to marketing $$$ - which we BADLY need). And in our moment of triumph - we...- Harmless27

Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)
I totally agree. We are seem to be a desirable club for players to re-sign and extend contracts with. We have two players who look likely to win a world cup. We made finals just last season. We won a Daly M just last year..... Our facilities have improved. Not exactly 'crisis' material. Dont...- Harmless27

Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)
Interested to understand how you figured that out. Is it based on avg points/season, positions on the ladder, or just lack of premierships? 1998 - 10th place 1999 - 9th place 2000 - 12th place 2001 - 10th place 2002 - 9th palce 2003 - 14th place (?) 2004 - 15th place (?) That feels like a bad...- Harmless27

Ben Condon
You confuse me. What do you want exactly? We have tied up a lot of cap in three players..... So - do you want us to break the salary cap or something? Or do you want us to pay 'overs' for a has been? Or - are you able to accept that a few 22/23 year olds as fringe first graders MIGHT be...- Harmless27

Des's next job
An interesting thought. I wonder if he would go to the Titans..... and if he does, will he break the bank to take some of our 'top talent. Its hard to know if he will be willing to be the same (or more) in order to tempt them away.... last time he did that - he tore apart a premiership winning...- Harmless27

Des's next job
I confess I did throw the commentary one in for a gag But having said that.... Our 'potential' new coaches/assistants are both coming from commentary.... and it seems to be where the money is. I thought De$ might go for the bucks!- Harmless27

Des's next job
Keen to hear people's opinion on the way forward for Des. There has been a lot of passion and opinions laid bare here over the last few weeks.... mainly about the treatment of Des by Penn (I won't re-open old wounds with my opinion) But if we step away from the Penn v Des debate - and instead...- Harmless27

Flanagan Signed as assistant
This is absolutely fabulous news if true. Seriously - if these two can work well together, and can be allowed time do do their job - we have two highly rated coaches of a more 'modern school' helping to push us forward. I for one am genuinely thrilled about this - time to get focused on what...- Harmless27

Manly in Crisis (a mega thread)
Also - FWIW: I would be happy with a change here. Something HAS to change. The owner is the owner - unless you have the $$$ to buy the club, we will not see a change. So we are stuck with him (which for me, isn't ideal, but isn't the end of the world) Des is clearly past it. Still good? yes...- Harmless27

The Postcode Wars
I didn't see it last night - but I read the article on ABC. I literally had the current club challenges in the back of my mind as I read it - it is incredible to think that this has grown over time in Western Sydney. It shouldn't be a surprise really.... I have been lucky to live in a number...- Harmless27

The Daly Cherrygraph
Couldn't agree more. Does anyone remember the dark days where our club thought that Craig Field would pass muster for the mighty eagles? Craig Field was a standout player for Souths in a very hopeless team.... but it made him look like a bloody star. We fell for it. Dark days indeed.- Harmless27

2022 NRL Rich List
11 former + current manly players on that list. Salary cap is a funny thing.... what a shame we couldn't keep all those former players on the roster... we'd be in a etter spot, thats for sure! I'd take Api & Gutho back in a heartbeat- Harmless27

Manase D Day
hhhmmmmm A penny for Josh Aloiai's thoughts.... He's had a big old fortnight too just quietly. Between the jersey situation (being seen as the ring leader) and also being front and centre support Fainu..... I can't imagine he's living the dream right now!- Harmless27

Manase D Day
Nice summary - interesting points you raise. I do also wonder..... was the attack committed by gang members (mates?) of fainu, or a rival gang altogether? IF someone Fainu 'hangs out with' was involved...... surely Fainu KNOWS who the stabber was? If THAT is the case.... he has wasted 3 years...- Harmless27

I’ve not looked forward to a match so much in years I’m not after a result - I’m after an effort. Show pride. And my god I hope we pack the place to the rafters. I’ll be cheering you on from Melbourne boys. Good luck.- Harmless27

Poll added - Sea Eagles Everyone in League jersey
I don't know who wrote that - whether it was Des, or a professional on the topic - but it is classy. It is eloquent, and it is what was needed. I haven't seen the media coverage int he last few hours.... but am I correct in assuming: 1. All 7 players are NOT playing? 2. We are still wearing the...- Harmless27
