Not trying to single people out but is anyone else tired of seeing the same 2-3 people spam every single thread with negative propaganda? It all somehow devolves into ‘Spoony needs to be sacked’ lately. I can understand some people might not like him & that’s fair, each to their own.
When we win there’s an excuse that the other team was off their game but when we lose it’s all his fault. After the loss to Newcastle I thought it was quite ironic these individuals were saying Newcastle had no forwards but didn’t once mention we were missing Paseka, Josh A + TKO who are 3 out of our 4 best props… This is just a example but I’m sure most of you know what I’m talking about.
I have no doubt I’ll be called out for accepting mediocrity but I don’t think Seibold has done a bad job so far even if I don’t agree with all his selections (most fans don’t with any coach). As a younger fan I was about 8 years old last time manly won a premiership but i’m happy in the direction the club is travelling & I’m enjoying the highs + lows of the process. We are all passionate & guilty of ‘coaching from the coach’ myself included, but the unnecessary hate has gotten over the top.
I’m tired of seeing the same old rubbish that Seibold can’t develop young talent while he has turned Lehi Hopoate who was unknown into 1 of the hottest young talents in the league. Not to mention the huge leaps Koula has taken into becoming 1 of the best centres in the comp this season.
Whilst we haven’t got any top grade talent yet with salary cap restraints Seibold has still got some of the best juniors from both codes to come over. Onitoni Large was a top 3 talent in both codes & was chased by over 12 clubs. He clearly believed in the vision for the future as did his younger brother Ashton who is the best prospect in Rugby League for a long time & will be 1 of the best players in the NRL. (Bold call but I’m very confident on it.) Other gun prospects like Walsh & Muagututia also believe in the plans for the future.
The club has been handicapped since Des Haslers decisions to give Jake, Turbo & DCE over $3 million a year. It can be debated if it was the right or wrong decision at the time but it clearly hasn’t aged well. It’s obvious we won’t win a comp while these contracts are still around & everyone knows it even though it’s tough to admit.
Seibold + Mestrov are playing the long game & I think it will work but I respect the opinion of people that think it won’t. Can we just chill on things like throw away comments in a post match press conference that they are forced to do & spam in every single thread? 😃
