Marty sets it straight (again).

Plenty more Manly news - check it out

 

[Cochrane]

plenty of people jumping the gun, calling marty all sorts of things because of tabloid rumours.

 

[BOZO]

"Once I heard [Hasler's return] was confirmed, it was awesome. It's exactly what Manly is. He's brought back that Manly DNA, that foundation of success and what it means to be [successful] and how to actually achieve it."
This says so much about Trent

 

[Harvies elbow]

Some subtle backhanders to the previous coach.
That Des has brought back the Manly DNA shows that it exists.
Despite the deniers on here.
And Marty would be referring to a time when he played against it in the lowers and the remnants of it left over when he joined.
The Des has injected* them with a massive dose.
*just a turn of phrase Todd.
Keep your hand off it...

 

[nightster]

If Marty was going to leave at one stage it would likely have been due to his dissatisfaction with TB

 

[Kevinward777]

I missed the part where he says that Trent was subjected to failure, cause he didn’t have a sprint coach/list manger/decent furniture and the like... oh well.

 

[Rackets]

And finally he ends the exit speculation: Well done Marty

Marty interview. Very well spoken and he is also pleased that the grass is cut nicely at Narrabeen

 

[manlyfan76]

Ok so there are these things called m i c r o p h o n e s and they can record the questions and answers hat people speak, out of their mouths.

Just listening to Bulldog Ritchie on the big sports breakfast and he mentioned now that Manly are out of the competition the club will up the ante and look to re-sign Marty. He said Marty wants to stay and Des wants him as part of the squad moving forward.

Good. On field a solid experienced foundation up front gives the best chance for the Keppies, Sipleys and co to develop to the highest level.
Plus Marty's professionalism is probably seen as important for squad culture. He certainly looks after himself, so he's worth a further 3 year deal.
(Although I've no idea what dollars he'll want - I expect the chance to stay with a team heading towards a genuine premiership challenge will figure in his calculations)

Agree mate, whilst this is likely to be one of his last big contracts to negotiate, I have no doubt the direction the club is headed and the possibility of winning a premiership before his career is out plays a part in his decision.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Read an article a couple of weeks back where he basically told other clubs not to bother calling because he only wants to play at Manly

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Hope he stays , important part of that great forward pack we are developing.

Forwards win big games , we know that.

Not to mention the adorable muscles and the gorgeous cornrows.

Some strong quotes in there along the lines of what I mentioned before

Poor young Keppie will never challenge him there!

 

[BOZO]

Adorable Gorgeous muscle man as requested

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I’ve met Marty a couple of times and after speaking with him he seems very content at Manly.

I’m my opinion I think the players all think we are pretty close to a premiership either next season or the following. For most players this is the most important part of playing the game.

 

[Cochrane]

Awesome if he stays. Interesting what offer Des puts on the table.
