[Resurrected] If Blake Green had stayed.....

  • Left the club on bad terms in 2018
  • Managed by Isaac Moses
  • Attacking coach on the wooden spooners, who had the least points scored by nearly 100 points

How inspiring. Happy to be wrong but I can't see how this ends well if true
TBF it was the attacking coach that killed us in that hideous game up there this year.
 
Newcastle rated him as an attacking coach, and for whatever reason they decided to put the blame for their poor attack upon AOB. Not exactly sure how or why they liked him.

Does this mean Hales is done? Attacking coach for the 2021 season, which was the greatest attacking season by a Manly team ever. If you remove the first four rounds, it was the greatest attacking season of all time.

That jettisoned for the assistant who coached the attack for one of the worst attacking teams of all time?

F&ck I hope not. Knights were bog average and Green was part of incredibly underperforming side. IF Green comes then you can only assume he will take over from Siebold at the end of next year.

I could have been the attacking coach in 2021. Game plan = get it to Tom as soon and as often as possible, try not to get in his way. Repeat.
 
I don’t like Green but if we are being honest no attacking coach is fixing Knights problems this year. Hastings, Gamble & Cogger are all C level standard halves. Adding to that Ponga & Sharpe only playing half a season each doesn’t help.

If he was in charge of 2023’s attack there might be some promise but I still don’t want to see him here
 
Just playing for Manly doesn’t grant you DNA status. Multi club mercenaries don’t get so anointed. Manly people know who Manly people are.

I guess Ben Kennedy has no Manly DNA either. 😁

Played rugby Shute shield, then league for Canberra, Newcastle then played only 2 seasons for Manly.

Green OTOH signed a two year contract with Manly for 17 /18, then Manly wanted him gone at the end of 17 as we were about to sign Mitchell Pearse from the Roosters.
Green understandably looked for a new deal and agreed to a 3 year deal with the Warriors.

Twent and our administration stuffed up the Pearce signing and he went to Newcastle due to our salary cap issues.

Understandably Green told Manly to shove it when they blocked his move to the Warriors so threatened not to play. Manly treated him like schiit.

How does this make Green a mercenary and have no Manly DNA? 🤔

How did they stuff the salary cap to stuff the pre planned Pearce signing? Seems like something a Scott Penn funded MWSE would do thou! Dream Big, Talk World class, and struggle to afford peanut.

The guy with the so called Manly DNA, Kieran Foran. He complained to the NRL over third-party payments he was owed implying that Manly was involved.
The rest is history after the NRL investigated and hung Manly out to dry.

Kennedy was instrumental in changing Manly from also rans to premiership contenders. His contribution was so immense he made our team of the century. That contribution far outweighs that of Blake Green and definitely gets him into the Manly DNA club. Two years after he left he was sitting sideline at the 2008 GF cheering the boys on. A Manly legend.
