Mainly ain't Manly anymore

But that is with a coach who can recruit and turn what we may consider the be average or just consistant players into a well drilled team.

Penn has turned our once proud club into the Manly Warringah Titans. I keep deluding myself that we are still a powerhouse but it feels like we are just a rich guys plaything. I wish the guy would either p!ss or get off the pot because he's achieved SFA in his 11 years of ownership. Why would you own such a great club if you don't have the passion to make it number 1.

Agree. Contrast Penn with the passion & involvement of Politis at the Roosters. He seems to be involved in all that happens at that club (irrespective of whether you like him or not), where as Penn appears as mostly 'the owner' & nothing more. Seems to only make an occasional cameo appearance in the strategic evolvement of the club.

How much would it cost us to bring Politis over? Asking for a friend?

If you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it.

Not sure I see the hopoate’s as rusted on Manly diehards.

Im sure Hoppa Sr is a Manly diehard, but he's got to look after his own kids interests ahead of the club. Look at Nathan Hindmarsh's son, hes played through the Eels junior system and just signed with Penrith.
