The same people that appear to be shopping Turbo to superleague.

The club is shopping Turbo to super league? Where did you get this info from?

FYI,it’s not the club shopping Tom,it’s apparently his agent,for reasons I won’t speculate as I don’t have a signed affidavit to prove my sources.
What Mark won’t inform you of though,is that this story came out long before Weidler reported on the situation

Super League offered huge Tom Trbojevic transfer opportunity

The NRL star is available to clubs moving forward.

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.

So you don’t think he polarised Manly’s fans? Really? 😂

Where on earth have I implied Manly is & has been a well-managed club for years? And you say you’re dealing in facts 😂

Yes we all know the backflip story, I’ve never blamed DCE for it & didn’t mention it in my post so not sure why you went there, but you end up agreeing with me that he’s had bad PR over his career. Cool 👍

You accuse me of thinking NRL players owe me something. Incorrect. You’re dealing in facts though, right? Not emotions? 😂

Oh, so “the facts” are that he appeared on TV because the club had failed to lock him down. Have you got a credible source for this “fact” or are you just repeating another rumour? Seems you’re using this rumour to excuse him for going off reservation with his announcement.

Have you got a credible source for the club “shopping Turbo to SL” or are you again dealing in rumours under the guise of “facts”?

There’s so much emotionally charged bullsh1t in your reply you should be ashamed of having claimed to deal in “facts”.

Have you ever thought the club simply decided they didn’t want to re-sign DCE after so many years of paying him so much yet him delivering so little?

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

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…

100% agree. if anyone thinks round 3 2025 was the cause of the ****show then they should quietly leave the building.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

If only we had a player like Kaeo Weekes.....😵‍💫

Kaeo weekes killing it and Tom Wright one of the most potent attacking weapons in Union. great eah.

Perhaps you need to add a few words to that first line? how about Manly fans on silvertails.... if you ask me that question then 10000% yes. If its a blanket question about Manly fans I would confidently say perhaps 5 or 10% of fans were indeed disgruntled. I didn't hear boos ringing out at brookvale too often this season, so id say the majority of fans while perhaps disappointed didnt hate on the guy like yourself and others on here.

He had 1 bad PR moment with Queenslanders over the backflip.... Not exactly a career long issue. He's one of the cleanest skins in the game. A family man doing his bet for his family. What a turd eah?

The way your anger presents on here suggests you personally feel angry so in turn possibly hurt? If you could see it for what it is perhaps the feeling might not be so bad?

Just as many facts as you put in your huge first post. Do you have the magical inside info to back up your hate towards the guy?

All player movement is speculation until its actually not. Again I double down IF manly was a well run culb that never had any problems then a story like the Turbo whisper could be dismissed but as id hope you could even agree we are a basketcase and where there is smoke there is probably fire.

I'm sorry you think im emotional. I'm really not. I just dont like sitting back listening to people whinge and bitch without calling it out. Its like Trump, lie after lie after lie. just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.

And finally your last point.... Thank you for making the job easy. If they didn't want to resign our club captain and one of our better players then Man up, put the big boy pants on last year and say. Hey Daly, thanks for the service but you know what, we are going to go a different direction. 2025 will be your last year and we wish you all the best for whatever you do. here are some plans we have for honoring your service throughout the year and good luck.

That would have placed the ball directly into his court. Ask for a release to sign a long term deal somewhere else, we get cap relief and can forward plan OR he plays out his last year and knows he needs to put on a show to interest another team or it will be the end of the road. The press conference never happens, the bad blood never happens and everyone walks away head held high.

So in closing your honour. The Club really ****ed the puppy on this one.

Good lord, I haven’t read past “hate on”. What are you, 12 years old?

Says the Silvertails resident "emoji boy." Why is it that you always seem to be fighting with other posters or putting them down with immature insults? I would hazard a guess that at least 50 percent of your posts are either combative in nature or contain ridicule toward others. Now I don't know you @47MVEagle and you might be a lovely guy in real life. But on these boards you come across as toxic.

I'm not saying that we all have to agree and probably need to take my own advice because I can also get caught up with arguing etc. However, you and a couple other posters seemingly lurk here waiting to start an argument. I hope you find something or someone who helps you attain a little peace in your life.

And yes, I know calling you our resident "emoji boy" is doing the very thing that I am accusing you of. But it's hard not respond when I literally take you off ignore and find you are doing the same crap to another poster.
