For all the things that has happened in 2011, my resolve and passion for the Sea Eagles has never been stronger.
My feeling is that we're not so much under siege as we were back in 1999 or 2002. That was certainly worse. in 2002, seeing 5000 at a home game was heart breaking.
Just a reminder to everyone:
Manly has a history of dramas, it's not the first and won't be the last.
Back in 1977, when Fulton joined Easts, Manly lost a favourite son. Guess what? We won in 1978. It didn't matter.
Back in 1989, when Shearer was off to the Broncs and Vautin was let go. Fans were baying for Doug Daley's blood. Now, we can see Doug did the right thing. We needed a clean out. Shearer went for the money and admitted he regretted it later.
When Turban left for more money at end of 1996, he too regretted it later. If you leave after playing for Manly, chances are you won't be playing like you should, anymore.
The worst thing to happen to Manly was to have our colours tainted with Norths'. Guess what? We got rid of the losers and we won again.
So, the thing is, I'll admit I enjoyed the leaked emails as it helped show the truth for what and who they are. So, thank you to whoever did it and I don't care what some Des' loyal players may think.
1. Players and staff come and go. The club is forever.
2. My respect for our true legends who stood up for our club has grown exponentially - Thrower, Arko, Fredo, Igor, Tooves, Beaver, Magilla and others. Also, kudos to Choc who stood up for our club even when he's miles away.
3. I will ensure my membership is signed up for 2012. Time for solidarity in the face of adversity. Time to show those opposition fans that we're not bothered. Won't it annoy all of them if we won another premiership in spite of all this? BRING IT ON!!!
