Is Gorman teflon coated .. ?

That is my view as welll ... same as Cleary .... the football side of things, not so much ...

Look as along as we are getting regular dioramas then that has to be worth something doesn't it? Its an important job and the football part is secondary.

They need to change his title to CDO Chief Diaorama Officer.
 
X Achieved nothing
X Failed at everything
X We are more embarrassing today than when he arrived
X 0 results
X Equalled worst ever result

The bloke is a myth. He needs the balls to rip Penn a new arsehole, and deliver the wanker some home truths.

X He'll likely be part of our 1st ever wooden spoon (close this season)
 
Given our owners and their propensity for shooting themselves in the foot (even when they're aiming at others), being CEO of the Sea Eagles is definitely a poisoned chalice. Except we're so poor it's more like a poisoned disposable paper cup. Or maybe a poisoned McDonald's promotional "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" thickshake cup pulled out of a garbage bin, which of course the CEO sips from as he lies back on the banana lounge he brought from home to liven up his demountable office.
Just a reminder that you are not allowed to take any food inside Lottoland. This also applies to Roger Rabbit cups from McDonalds Brookvale.
 
Is Gorman teflon coated or are we just cutting him some slack ... is it because none of us actually know what he does for a living ?

I have just read and participated in over 100 pages of posts slaming Barrett as the great evil and Penn as the Devil's dildo ..... but what about young Lyall ..... where is he in all this, is he the CEO running the joint or is he just a Penn lip-spittle doing as he is told each day?

He has been missing all year .....

Well, he has just satisfied/quietened many Manly members at a function by telling them the same old sh@t they have been fed 10,000 times before ad-nauseum...Member whisperer!!!

I applaud the fact Lyall is now communicating more with members - particularly in dispelling Fake News - but I would like some substance in the missives not just PR spin.
I ran a PR company for more than 35 years so I can recognise the obfuscation easily.

What does obfuscation mean? Using these types of words is not fair to any visitors from the One-eyed Eel or Kennel forums.
 
I’ve got a good deal of respect for Lyall and I think , given the constraints , he’s doing a fine job.

Oh sure not delivering everyone’s wishes as fast as you’d all
like BUT he’s very hamstrung by what he inherited and Rome wasn’t built in a day!!

I’d rather him than any of the others we’ve had over the past 2-3 years.

He’s just not going to be able to fix the basket case we are overnight.

Have patience , I know it’s hard but I’m sure he’s doing the best he can.
Deserves more time imo, and certainly hasn’t done anything that could be deemed to be catastrophic to the joint... have to agree with big Mark.

Do you think Trent had something to do with the equaled worst result ever thing, or is it more the CEO and missing list manager to blame?

Culmination of all the above mate. Honestly, I don't think The Penn's provided the right environment for Trent to potentially succeed .

I don't think The Penn's, Gorman, Barrett, the players, the club as a whole delivered.

Now, seeing them all drinking and smoking everyday on social media backs up the party culture rampant around the joint.

Basketcase, top to bottom. They need to deliver something positive stat.

Thank **** the Ice Hockey season has started. I'm going to do everything in my power to ween myself off rugby league permanently.

The appointment of Cartwright will end my passion for the game.

No it won’t. You’re rusted on. You’ll complain and throw your arms up but I can almost guarantee even if you aren’t vocal on here or attending games you’ll watch them.

I don’t know you but you don’t have to be a genius to tell you’re so bitter on here because you have so much investment. You might have a break but you’ll be back

Woodsie. I normally like your stuff but the last month you’ve kept defending Barrett and he had 3 years. I defended him for ages but he showed his colors when he let his manager try to manipulate **** and **** us over. Lyall has been here a year. Inherited a disfunctional coach and salary cap. Amongst other things.

Personally I’m going to give him some time because whether it’s spin or not at least he’s talking to the fans. I don’t remember anyone else doing it. I at least get the impression he cares and he’s trying
 
pretty sure he uses a "pure and simple" shark oil blend instead of teflon. Teflon is quite bad for your health once it starts to flake and lyall ( no disrespect ) does appear a little flakey in appearance

LOL, your probably right of course.

My Avalanche started the year beating The Wild 4-1, so good start today. Awesome following a team that can win.

Also support Swans and Chelsea, so I'm kind of spoiled. Manly is the only real crapshoot. Chalk and cheese the qualities of the ownerships of my other teams compared to Penn's debacle.

Flake, shark?

If you have been able to identify this party culture that has developed at the club, seen the photos etc then why the fark hasn’t Barrett done anything to change the culture. A coach drives players on the piss etc... Proper coaches discipline their players for the kind of behaviour you are speaking of. It had fark all to do with a list manager/owner/CEO and everything to do with a p1ss weak general who wants to be everyone’s mate. If what you write is true (and I have no reason to doubt you) it is yet another example of SuperCoach being completely out of his depth.

Mate, I know as fact that Trent imposed an alcohol ban, which was ignored. I think it was about 4 weeks before the end of the season.

It was after the flogging we got from The Eels I think (or Chooks) - can't remember, where all the players were out partying to all hours (my niece interacting with them dispite my protests).

Barrett also told the group not to go out at Gladstone (which was also ignored, and I heard Trent was actually with them in the end).

Not sure why these Indian Bong smoking gizmos are all the buzz with the team ATM (not illegal btw). Or why they'd smoke on social media (in my mind, just looks ridiculous, but I'm a fossil).

Honestly, our players aren't taking their careers seriously. They believe they rule the roost. They decide on who should coach, which player should sign, as there is 0 accountability.

That's why the LAST thing we need, is a laid back, have 27 beers with the boys Cartwright. We need a hard head that will tear up contracts if they do the wrong thing, aren't on the bus, and aren't dedicated to the cause.

It's all about partying, gaming, and the celebrity status right now. I'm sure they think they are in an American gang or something. Home Boys. LOL.

You got to put some emphasis on the bunch of cats on the field with no real will to win.
