Tigers win another game and the Dragons have won. Both those teams are slowly heading north while Manly stay stagnant on 11 points. If we don't get our act together and start putting in and winning games we will be in contention for that wooden spoon.

If we win just think of it as Weak Gutted Dog Day.

Very witty.

Blame the coach

Blame the refs

Blame the injuries

Blame the ball boys

NONE, of whom are on the field playing the game.

But don’t you worry , take the easy route for the blame game ( just like most do ) and that’ll make you feel better !!

Oh by the way , I’m not a “ big Seibold Fan” at all , but I’m at least prepared to give him more than 5 minutes in the job to succeed, unlike you Des lovers.

He deserves a couple of seasons ( like most coaches get ) so let’s have this conversation then hey !!

Would you still give him another season as coach if he achieved Manly's maiden wooden spoon? Not even the great Trent Barrett achieved that.

 

[Red Baron]

Raiders by 14 at least

If we get our first wooden spoon I’d be sacking the underperforming players first.

Remember this is largely “ Des’s team”.

The only part of it not is the trade off of the two youngsters ( who were going anyway ) for Woods.

So that answer is , NO.

He’s inherited this lazy mob he deserves the opportunity to weed them out.

I agree. I'm not thrilled with the teams performance but this team has glaring issues that are a product of Des and Co recruitment. Compare our middle forwards and hooker stocks to the tigers it is little wonder we are struggling.

Let's wait and see. Hopefully Manly don't get the spoon.
