Other Games - Round 25, 2018

[BOZO]

Was a great game but crowd appalling

I remember when the Great Max Delmege was running the Manly show
Brookvale Oval was liked a packed stadium for an Elvis concert
Standing room only .
Thank you
Thank you very much Max .....

While Max did have something to do with it thanks to the money he poured into the club, the crowds were more there because of the quality teams we had and the winning style of football they played.

Fans turned up to see Snake and Beaver score tries, to see Matai pull off a big hit or 3, to see the brilliance of Killer, Gifty and DCE and the toughness of Watmough, Ballin, Kite, King, Foran and Perry.

If we were a consistent top 4 team right now our crowds would again be up around 15,000 or more to most games at Brookie.

The reality is that when a team is playing like we have this year and for the most part of the past 4 years (including Toovey's final season as coach), its mostly only the die hards who will turn up every week. Start winning again the crowds will return.

Warrington just beat Hull.


80 - 10 !!!!

 

[The Who]

Obviously Hull needs more TPAs.

Money as they say is not everything feathered friend . Max not only poured the money but he also rebuilt the club and made our club great .

That I won't argue with @BOZO .

Max was hands on with Manly because to him it was more than just a business venture. Even though they are pouring money into the club, the Penn's seem to be the opposite.

And now Elvis has left the building

Max might have left the building but he is always with the Manly Sea eagles in spirit
His spirit lives on 😉

I don't think so . They may not be doing it in style like Max has but I am sure the Penns have their heart in our club as well
NRL club is not a great investment for great returns . People that pour money in sport do it with passion .

 

[The Who]

Why do we have to have private ownership? Isn't there another ownership model?
Who owns the Canberra Faders, for example?
Does News Corp still own Melbourne?
We may not have a viable Leagues Club but there are many successful clubs on the northern beaches. Perhaps there is a way to entice a group of them to buy out the Penns, and jointly support this region's No. 1 sporting asset.
What we have now isn't working.

Showing that the current format is flawed. If they lose their home ground for the next game if they lose the first game, I am sure that would work as a deterrent

 

[Frogz]

The game is officially f#cked. What a disgraceful sin bin

 

[Eagle2830]

Pathetic call by video ref

 

[Nice Beaver]

The game is officially f#cked. What a disgraceful sin bin

Mansour's reaction summed it up well I think.

 

[Pablo]

**** like that just makes me think why farking bother with this stupid sport.

 

[Frogz]
