Manly players hold honesty session in bid to avoid club's first spoon

[Woodsie]

Are you talking about previous generations or this generation (minus the Turbos who are complete throwbacks)?

.. interesting observation ..... I accept that I am of a different era .... I could be wrong.

... but surley "blokes" haven't changed that much .... have they?.... they're not all waxing, oiling and taking preened up selfies are they ..?.

 

[Wombat64]

If you asked most footballers what their greatest fear was .... the answer given by a large majority of them would be ... the fear of letting your team mates down ...

.. anybody who thinks sitting in a room with your 16 team mates watching highlighted video's of themselves missing tackles or not chasing, or being lazy .... would not be an emotive, challenging and grounding experience ..

...Is a boofhead and a numb-nutt ...

and punchie

They have changed, they all shave their pubes and nuts these days. Now that's ****ed up. Were you a pube / nut shaver? Not me, no way.

Not sure that it's the waxing, oiling, etc. But certainly a selfie generation, rarely detached from a phone where the friends they chat to are just as important, if not more so, than the reality sitting next to and in front of them. A generation where 'fans' are more than ready to tell them how useless they are on social media. A generation where they get paid the same amount win, lose, or draw, and regardless of the colours on their back.
I think it is different for all but the best.
WHICH IS WHY A TEAM NEEDS A DAMNED GOOD COACH.
Sorry for yelling

Truth session you say? Look out Penrith!!!!

Jeez I hope the panthers didn’t have a truth session this week too.

It's funny isn't it? The ebbs and flows of growing older and generational shifts.

I tend to side with the younger blokes and use lube and plenty of foreplay to avoid as much friction as possible, so I can understand their need to manscape these days.

As I've grown older, I've noticed that I really enjoy when the missus cooks a large breakfast, and I find the method above usually ensures this.

That makes me a SNAG and a sexist pig at the same time. I'm comfortable with that balance.

I wouldn't believe them. Lying bastards!!

If I was Manase Fainu, I'd tell my mouthpiece to use your opening lines in my defence.

 

[BrendonStarr]

Well Suli should be pumped for a big one. His defence was absolutely pathetic last week. Parker was caught flat footed more than once and our forwards had a lazy game lacking intensity.

Is this the game where perfection steps in vs Panthers?

Could this be the game where we all say where the phuck was this two months ago?

Yes.

Got to be honest I will be surprised if we do not end up with the spoon...just has a feeling to it this year

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Well honestly; WTF was that! I'm really looking forward to reading about the next team truth session.

 

[robbiea]

I will be honest ,play 80 minutes nobs...

 

[Cioran]

There’s the sort of truth you have at a truth season and there’s the sort of truth you have on the field.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

this players session was about honestly not winning another game in 2018

 

[HK_Eagle]

Jeez I hope the panthers didn’t have a truth session this week too.

Actually they did.
They basically came out and agreed they only really needed to play for 5 minutes today for a win

A good mate of mine was speaking with Kitey the other day and he apparently almost put his foot through the telly and the garbage they dished up, and he said, he almost got on a plane to come down here as he was so embarrassed with that garbage they dished out. I wonder if the TV survived this week. I dont like to bag the club or team, but its getting harder to have to deal with this crap every week. We need blokes like Randall, Krillich, Thomson Beaver and other legends that bled for this club to be involved again. To show the current crop of players what our jersey really means to them and how much it meant to play for our great club. Thats the honesty session I want to see happen, not this garbage stuff they are dealing us up now. I think us the fans are hurting more than the players when we dish garbage up like last week and today. How do you lose a game when you are so far ahead, it shouldnt happen, no way
