Manly came from the depths of despair after the beagles and built a hungry team full of competitorsThe only retribution to any underachieving Manly coach is that they had not made a premiership winning contribution
The Fact is Toovey Barret and Des all failed finals success in their last year before being shown the door
Adversity and Injuries are part of the game
Team Resolution is part of an over achieving coach that flies under the radar and above adversity to win a premiership just like Des at his Peak when he over came club political board room battles and on field Battles at Brookvale .
At the end of every season two things are certain for all coaches
They will find a way and rise above adversity and overachieve
or
They will find excuses for Underachieving
Quote By former Great footy coach
- Our success has not been a continual series of victories. We have had a number of devastating setbacks; how these are handled is the making of a great team... winning does not happen in straight lines. — Clive Woodward ...

The moral of the story
For the Great ones Adversity is not the Demoralizing end for failure
Adversity is Adrenalin and Determination and the ability to find ways for success
des as a coach was on the rise as much as his team. he was able to build a squad and add the valuable missing big ticket items like kitey, bk and the ORF . Currently we have to reverse it . We have the money spent on the big ticket items but have to add a lot of talent and roles cheaply. Much harder task,
have to strip it down and go again. Sooner the better
need a big cull
boyle, keppie, harper, tippytoes, tuilagi, dce,, woods and possibly aioli……..goneski
get a good hooker, lawnton and croker as utilities or backrowers
coupla boppers and a crafty forward
also see if we can get fafita back with dragons paying freight. saab didnt like the commute and the goons are idiots
