Media Narrative Around Manly

[47MVEagle]

If the media were no longer talking about us, that would be worse.
We are still at least media worthy with an excellent squad.
Let's hope Mestrov does his job and keeps Manly a premiership threat - on paper at least.
Supercoach Seibold can do the rest on the field.

Who are you & what have you done with XV-1?!?

While journos ragging on Manly is annoying, it is somewhat expected.

What is really getting me at the moment is ex players with a radio show or podcast laying the boot in. Seems like any ex player who was not smart enough to set themselves up after football, or to get into coaching, now has access to a microphone in one form or another. And I find they are the ones dribbling a lot of the bs. The same people who cried foul when a negative story impacted them in their playing days. The hypocrisy is astounding.
An excerpt of a podcast came across my FB feed the other day of Josh Mansour and Chad Townsend Bagging the club about the handling of Turbos negotiations. Neither have ever had anything to do with the club so anything they say is pure speculation.

Yeah heard those two talking a complete load of sh*t about things they know nothing about. You expect this dribble from journos, but it's even more disgusting coming from former players

For years I've read on this website about how Tom needs to move to centre and he's a waste of money etc etc and too injury prone etc etc

Now hes pushing 30 and if he suddenly leaves it's the end of the world ??.

Spare me.

Its a media narrative that this becomes crisis - If he stays great, if not we move on. We all know he's not half the player he was so at $1 million a season we'd be mad to over pay for him in panic.


He wanted to hand money back last contract and now he wants to leave ??

I'm not buying it.

I find it amusing that Silvertailians can be so concerned about an alleged negative reporting bias in the media .....

Yet, spend their time on here, reading post after post by the same numbnuts ... constantly bagging the **** out of the Club, the CEO, the Coach, the recruitment and retention team, and every single player ....

The media is way more balanced and less feral than some on here ...
