Crusher Back

[Johnno74]

This is the best day in our clubs history for years ,im that excited the missus better watch out tonight

 

[Briza]

Sounds like @Briza has the vaso out

Vaseline intensive care, gotta look after the skin!
Best thing to get rid of wrinkles, after Des, Donny and crusher returning of course

 

[Johnno74]

Rub the lotion on the skin

 

[double hoops]

Wow the gang is getting back together.

 

[lsz]

A serious question (for those who know more than me...which is not tough)

These guys are legends but habe they been left behind by the modern game? Or can they adapt etc?

 

[Damien2812]

Great news to see Noel Cleal back. At least some vacant roles are getting filled now.

 

[Clint]

Ha @Mark from Brisbane is gonna feel the love when he gets back online with all these tags in this thread alone. Not to mention all the others.
Stuff it. I'm gonna tag him again @Mark from Brisbane 🙂 @Mark from Brisbane

Ah, this is the Manly we know.

At this rate, the entire coaching staff will be mix of the old guard and some new Manly blood.

Manly coaching Manly again.

“I still have the music in me,” Cleal told The Daily Telegraph. “I am absolutely happy to be back, especially with Des being back.

“It was an opportunity too good to refuse. I cannot wait to get my nose in the trough again.

“When Des rang, I jumped at the chance. I am over the moon and am really looking forward to it.

“There is plenty of talent at Manly that the club can build on.”

How good is this!! Desi and now Crusher's back, woohoo and Crusher is head of Recruitment...couldn't ask for better and sounds like the joy is mutual

This makes me so happy for a number reasons, namely I asked for this months ago, was told he retired and wasn't going anywhere and not coming back
Also makes me happy cause that is strike 3 for @Mark from Brisbane,
mate your going to have to up your game in 2019 😉

Yeah... old @Mark from Brisbane told us his mate Noel had informed him that he was very happily retired, and no chance of coming back. Best you stay in the bush for a while mate... until all of this blows over. Then when you get home, contact your contacts about finding some new contacts.

I was over the moon with Dessie back. Wake up and read Crushers back on board is like a dream!!! Best news all year!!

Poor Trent couldn’t get a recruitment Manager in 3 years. Des gets one on his first day

Good question. I'm quietly confident they'll be fine, because Des 'the mad professor' has always been such a deep student of the game. The fact he's had a year off to let the dust settle is a great advantage, I'd say.
Donnie (if he returns) brings qualities that stand the test of time, and as for spotting talent, that hasn't changed too much I'd guess so Crusher just has to keep moving.

This comment made me smile.

Welcome back crusher.
We will never refer to you as PF again.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Or he likes 2KY.

Listening to it that is.

 

[winnyason]

Wow i have to rub my eyes here. Des and crusher back together at manly. This is good.

So day 1 De$ gets something Barrett asked for last year.

How the fark does that work? Or were the Penns deliberately sabotaging season 18?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

This is one of those times when Silverchair’s ‘Walking in a Straight line’ sounds even better, as you cruise into work.

Or to paraphrase ELO’s 1979 hit ‘Last train to London’: Here come the ‘Eagles, just heading out...
