Season over: so, what did we get from it?

[Mark from Brisbane]

We are GONSKI

Bring on mad Monday

A definite downside.

But if there’s a good thing , it’ll affect the clubs with the superstars coming off contract even more than us.

Meaning they’ll have to pay much much to keep them

Yeah but they won’t. Penrith is a good example, they just keep finding replacements not excuses . I know we all can’t be Penrith because of our lack of juniors

All I got from this season is a damaged liver...

 

[JenEagle]

Another very typical season in this era of some off field incompetence, injury and then struggling to get back to form issues to Tom followed by missing the top 8.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

What we got out of it was we beat the top 2 teams & didn’t make the top 8.Figure that out.

If it was finals those top 2 teams would pump us.

Straight after the Raiders gave us the Viking "Clap" two weeks ago.

What did we get from this season - we get to enjoy cricket season

Have you seen our batting lately - not sue there is a lot of enjoyment in that

Green is on a streak since the WI tests.

 

[Captain Moondog]

I gave up alcohol. The worse we were the more I drunk and the more pissed off I got. So, clean and sober thanks to our **** season.

Well even worse I've gone the whole year without a drop, so I've endured the pain first hand.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Another disappointed season , To inconsistent, Injuries to key forwards , Lost games they should have won
A familiar pattern of the years of late
Next year could be better or could be worse
Depends on what Fogarty can bring to this side
Hopefully some of the young forwards will get more game time The likes of Navale , Hart , Laiafi .

 

[double hoops]

Next year. Learned that next year things are looking worse than this year. Go Manly.

 

[Damien2812]

We have been garbage for 10 years and without change in the off season, I'm sure us members will be thinking do we "renew for another season"?

 

[Eagle 1]

High hopes to start, it felt great at Brookie in R1.
DCE on channel 9 suddenly turned things upside down, for me as a fan. You'd like to assume your captain actually loves and wants to be at the club (stupid, I know)
So the rest of it became a bit sad. Some great moments and good wins but felt like always paddling upstream, too many stressful losses.
In the end reality set in - Manly's squad is only about mid level quality, especially in depth. As it's been for so long now.
Fans looking for a magic wand and think a new coach will be our saviour? I wish it was so but my head says 'you gotta be kidding'.

Think DCE will look back, maybe he's already thinking about it in his head, ..you know what I did, announcing on TV with a smile and showing up without a Manly shirt that this is going to be my last year at Manly. I think the reckless enormity of what he did and said has pretty much sunk in now.
