Honestly how is what I said not respectful. Hanging on to this will only hurt fans and herself. Dragging alleged extra marital affairs in (I’m saying alleged because I have no idea and it could be defamation). The internet doesn’t protect a person from defamation.
I actually thought I was being pretty respectful and it’s my opinion. until this interaction with you I’m pretty respectful in general on this forum.
You’re the one that’s starting the disrespect. I consider what you’re saying to me to be one of the most disrespectful things you can say to me. That prick is a stain on this team

Don’t hope he dies. Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy but certainly don’t like them what they did to me and my family

Maybe the NRL needs to get someone from the AFL on board to see how they do it so much better. A live AFL game is exciting to be at.

It’s not meant to be literal. I don’t think you want someone to die. It’s saying that when you hold a grudge it ends up hurting you far more than someone else. Dwelling on something consumes your time and energy but most of the time the other person won’t even know you have an issue or not pay it attention.
It’s a reinterpretation of a 5th century philosopher Buddhaghosa who said “What’s the point of your getting angry with another? By doing this you are like one who wants to hit another and picks up a burning ember or excrement in his hand and so first burns himself or makes himself stink.”

By no means does it affect my life nor do I think about it. Only when writing comments does it cross my mind.
I speak the truth so it’s not a build up of hate rather a place to express my knowledge of certain things.
Thanks for your concern (or not) of my well-being. I hold no place in my heart for bad people
Mrs D,
Come here chat, vent and do or say ever you want. You've earned it The D family is legendary in my eyes and I know others who hold the same view. Only a moron could not see that the club has gone backwards under the current owners, Unfortunately even though we are Manly we still do have a fair share of morons on here but don't judge us all by those.

Manly CEO Scott Penn reveals frustration at Trent Barrett exit, hints at club’s next move
MANLY chairman Scott Penn has fired a parting salvo at departing Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett for not acting “in the spirit of the club” and revealed the search was already well underway for his replacement.
Barrett is set for an uneasy final two games in charge at Brookvale, after Penn for the first time publicly confirmed The Daily Telegraph’s report from last week that he had resigned from the club.
The Sea Eagles have already drawn up a short-list of possible replacements, but former coaches Des Hasler and Geoff Toovey aren’t among them.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal Manly will not risk another rookie coach, instead opting for a hardened, experienced leader. And they expect to make an announcement in the next three weeks from a list that includes Tim Sheens, Michael Maguire, John Cartwright and Neil Henry.
Manly and Barrett are now in legal discussions about a potential payout, given under the terms of his resignation he is still bound to the club until next July.
The Sea Eagles privately believe Barrett resigned with two years to go on his contract because he was offered a job at a rival club, possibly Penrith, but the deal has since fallen through.
And the Silvertails won’t consider taking Barrett back.
“We are deeply unhappy at what has transpired,” Penn said. “There have been decisions made out of our control that aren’t in the spirit of the club.
“I am very disappointed that we are here, that’s the best way to describe it.
“I think that (accepting Barrett back) would be difficult, really difficult. We backed him the entire time. We would be crazy not to look at the market and look at who is available and what we need.
“And we are looking for proven performers, we are not in a position to back a rookie coach. We tried it, it had strong potential but it seemingly hasn’t worked at this stage.”
Frustratingly for fans, who watched their side capitulate 42-34 to the Gold Coast after leading 22-6, Manly took a week to confirm Barrett’s looming departure.
“The fact is we are going through a legal case at the moment,” Penn said.
“We are still in legal discussions around some of the details. I can’t actually confirm specifics but it’s been widely reported he has resigned.
“However, what I can comment on, is that, yes, if that’s his intent, we will need a new coach. We need certainty for the future. That’s what we are working on right now, where we go from here.
“We are looking everywhere (for a new coach). We have to give our members and fans certainty. We have to resolve it in the next couple of weeks, we want certainty over our coaching structure in the next two to three weeks. We have to get on with it.”
The Barrett era at Brookvale will now end in 12 days after Manly’s clash with the Wests Tigers on Thursday night at Campbelltown Stadium, and Sunday week’s season-ending game against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.
“I have always supported Trent,” Penn said.
“We gave him a chance, his first go, because we saw a character we wanted to bring to the club. We have certainly had success in patches.
“This year hasn’t been where we wanted it to be but there have been a variety of reasons for that.”
Hasler won two premierships at Manly in 2008 and 2011 during a highly successful stint but Penn remains upset at the circumstances surrounding his departure in 2012.
“We were absolutely not happy about how it transpired,” Penn said. “He (Hasler) took the whole coaching staff with him. Did that leave a bitter taste? Absolutely. Is that recoverable? Time has passed but there are still wounds there.”
Penn said Manly’s next coach must show how he can lift the club from its current doldrums — and show respect toward the Sea Eagles brand.
“We have to analyse why we are here. As a club, there have been a few issues that shouldn’t have happened. I think we can firm up the edge in terms of discipline and respect for the club,” Penn said.
“That needs to be reinforced. Whoever takes the role needs to make sure they are respecting the club’s values and where the club should be. We just need to get the right person in there to get the players the confidence they need. It’s not a talent issue, it’s a confidence issue.”
Penn confirmed he had “sounded out the market” without making any formal approach to a coach for next season.
Monday Bunker: Manly's disaster runs deep
“To see who is available and to see who is around,” he said.
Manly CEO Lyall Gorman met with the club’s senior players to discuss the coaching situation.
At that meeting, it is understood Manly skipper Daly Cherry-Evans committed to being at Brookvale long-term.
“Lyall cleared the air on a number of things and it was quite clear there isn’t an issue (with Cherry-Evans),” Penn said.
“There were a few things where the record needed to be set and now that’s done, Cherry is very comfortable and we’re very comfortable with him.
Penn said he was “ropeable” at accusations his family had “given up” on Manly.
“What stings the most is that we’re not trying and that we’ve taken our eye off the ball. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Lyall and I speak multiple times a day. We are absolutely working 24-7 to turn this around,” Penn said.
“This isn’t panic stations, we’re not far away. That’s the thing that’s been most disappointing. It’s as if the club is in crisis. It’s not. We have a strong network of sponsors, the board has never been more aligned, we have promising things happening at Lottoland and we have a really talented squad.
“Hopefully we can resolve the salary cap issue in the next couple of months and therefore have a clear view on our recruiting for the future. We’re not far away.
“We’re not where we want to be and are absolutely committed to taking the club to where it should be. This club is one of the most successful clubs of the modern era and has a proud history.”

Go back to when Gus got on his podcast and said Barrett was having a meeting with Manly and It was highly likely "the coach would walk".
Its now clearly evident that the coach did indeed walk and what was expected was the club to terminate him immediately, severance package and all with a ticket straight to Penrith, however, the club decided no you gave us 12 months you're sticking around.
Having waited as long as he could Gus ruled Barrett out of contention seeing as our club weren't playing ball in regards to financial compensation and pending legal action that could see him tied up into the middle of next year.
Out of the question for the Panthers job Barrett is now reconsidering his poor choice and almost seems to be backtracking.
This may be all wrong but its how I read the situtaiton.
