The joint is about to implode

Shopping Turbo is a disgrace. Loads of players have left with very few signed. Medical retirement for Aleo vera and probably froggy. WTAF is going on.

Turbo is shopping himself if you believe the media reports. We have not shopped him at all & in fact have offered a 3 year deal.

 

[eaglebuzz]

This is all a bit dramatic over a Danny "look at me" Weidler story.

I'm sure he's sussing out the UK, he would be curious about his options and he won't play against Manly.

Our signings for next year have been decent in my opinion, given our cap constraints.

 

[Eagles4Life]

I feel like the lid is about to fly off and everything under the hood will be fully visible very soon.

DCE regardless if you like the guy is one of the smartest operators in the NRL and his swift exit is a classic warning sign.

Honestly what we are seeing right now is the 'Bozo is gone' effect. He had so much sway within the club tools like Penn didn't dare step over the line. But as soon as he Passed that barrier was gone and look at us now.

Firstly, the club isn’t shopping Turbo. That’s just complete bull****.

Secondly, we have made five outside signings for 2026, with at least three more players moving up from NSW Cup. This to replace the ten players moving on. On my count we have twenty seven spots filled, and only three left open in the thirty.

The Bozo is gone effect? Hasn’t been a factor since Mestrov took over as CEO, in my opinion.

The other parts of your post are just agenda driven opinion, presented as fact and not opinion. A very common theme on Silvertails these days. IMHO of course.

There’s a good deal of “ agenda driven “ posts happening , presenting opinions as almost like fact.

I’ve noticed that many of them are members who have been strongly in the previous Captain’s camp, and are justifying their thoughts that he was very unfairly treated by Mestrov & Seibold by suggesting the sky is falling ( all due to the above two men).

And , why the Chaser left , well that may in fact be true , but in my opinion what transpired very much fits the Chaser’s usual MO.

One thing I always say , it’s my opinion , I don’t have the facts ( no one on here does) 99.99% of opinions on here are driven by media information, and despite what some think I believe very very little out of the mouths of people like Danny the Wanker , who at best is nothing better than a gossip columnist , and at worst is driven totally by the income derived from “ click bait “.

And notice now that the finals are here , everything regarding Manly has dropped off , that’s because we were just “ fillers “ for the slow days in between.

I don’t watch NRL360 , or read the Telegraph any more , it’s mostly utter garbage anyway.

LOLOLOL. that's a a LOT of spots to fill. 😅🤣

That must be DCE'S fault as well 🤣

What’s smart about polarising your own club’s fans 3 rounds into the season?

What’s smart about making his announcement on 100% Footy & talking about a smear campaign after a club game & about himself when interviewed in SOO camp, then refusing to answer any questions about his future later in the season?

I can understand liking a player (I was a fair fan of DCE’s up until his announcement too) but to wax his carrot & try to rewrite the narrative to make it about what a smart operator he is is laughable.

The bloke has just about done everything wrong when it comes to PR in his career.

Others have already pointed out the other fallacies in your post but I’ll remind you that the suggestion that DCE wasn’t happy being coached by Seibold doesn’t fly with me for these reasons:

1. He’s shown his love of $$$ several times in his career before;
2. He was perfectly happy to be coached by Barrett, who has a worse win/loss ratio than Seibold;
3. He acted like the loser in a transaction when he went on 100% Footy to make his announcement - it was pure sour grapes & a transparent attempt to get in front of any rumours circulating that the club hadn’t made him an offer, something that would have been very quickly justified with his sudden slump in form, which also resulted in him losing his QLD captaincy.
4. He lowered himself to going to Danny Weidler to get his side of the story out. Ewwwww 🥴

That’s all you got @XV-1 ? I will edit it just for you.

Awesome typo acknowledged. If it was actually the case I would be leading the march to tar and feather Mestrov et al

You mean Danny ‘The Bris’ Weidler.

Snipping foreskins - starting with the one from his neck up - since the turn of century.

You show a lot of confidence for a man that appears to glaze over facts and talk a lot of fiction.

Let's deal in facts.

Your first line makes it sound like Manly is and has been a well run and managed club for years. Never had any issues with coaches, former players or the NRL.... Yep 100%.... Dce just decided to blow up his lifelong club for absolutely no reason other than hes a C##t....

I think perhaps you forget Players are doing a job and getting paid for it. Sure they might love the game but some fans like yourself seem to think they owe you something because you allow them to play for you.

He made an announcement on the TV because manly as a club had failed to lock this down.... never happened before for our club has it? Coaches fired, CEO changing every 12 months, former players suing. A clueless owner. The list goes on.

If manly had have offered him a decent deal with a road map into the future back end of last year none of this happens.

He's bad at PR yes? Let's think. He wins a premiership in year 1 thanks to a great team and coach. He becomes a top half in the premiership and Manly (go back to an earlier point) decide to tell him he can go so they can sign FOZ... For screws the club for a number of reasons and THE CLUB offer a huge deal to backflip which he does (most players would).... of course he had some bad PR over this but it was just a blip in a long career.

And to directly answer your points.

1. Yes its his job. Do you have a job? Do you like to get paid? Did you ever get or pursue a payrise? Would you leave a current job for more money? If you answer yes to 2 or more of those points you are exactly the same as him.

2. Perfectly happybto be coached by Barrett? Middle of a 10 year DCE deal the CLUB signs Barrett. What is he supposed to do? FFS.

3. Obviously he felt let down by the powers that be. The same people that appear to be shopping Turbo to superleague. The same club that did rainbow gate. The same club thats backing a looser of a coach. Of course he wants to get out in front of it. He's not an idiot. Any celebrity or public figure needs to control the narrative. It's PR 101 and a SMART tactic.

4. I can't say anything nice about point 4. DW is a wanker.

So yeah. I disagree with just about everything you wrote. But thats OK. Opinions are like buses. Sometimes you get it and sometimes you dont but there will always be another just around the corner.

Finally

After Fogerty's inability to close out tonight's game im even more sure we as a Club will miss DCE a huge amount next year. Greta job Manly.

Yep, we were/are **** a long time before r3 this year… Chez might be a prick but Manly are a f*cking basket case of their own making…

Fogarty was very ordinary and so was our other "big signing" Kobe Hetherington. Seibs will be hoping to win 50% of his games next year. Because that normally gets a team scraping their way into the finals. He's a smart coach Seibs, just ask Scott Penn and big Tony M.

50% didn't cut it this year. Aren't we in a premiership window according to Penn, or are we in a spoon window.

Well its interesting because the 2 teams that have been eliminated this weekend will be a mile better next year, Rooster and Warriors.

I think there is a very real chance the top 8 may not be any different in 12 months time.

I feel we are in trouble if we dont announce some big name signings.

Souths, Parramatta and Dolphins will also improve. We need a couple of players to have a Kao Weekes type of breakout year or we'll be fighting it out with teams 11th to 16th.

Scott believes we will win a competition with the smart coach Anthony Seibold at the helm.
