Tony Mestrov, new CEO

[double hoops]

CEO is a tough job. CEO at Manly is one very tough job.

The good ones get stuff done.

Now some may not agree with every decision made so far.

But you have to applaud that this bloke is getting on with it and getting stuff done. Love it.

Go Manly Big Tony.

If Garrick frees up enough cash to bring in Klemmer. Would you do it?

Klemmer and Bradman Best I’d be interested in.

Klemmer and Bradman Best I’d be interested in.

I have to admit I've had a hard time getting a handle on Best. Does he not have injury and attitude probs or is that just media chatter?

He is young and has had injuries. The talent is undeniable, but like Shoe, it’s up to him. So much upside…

He was pretty awesome in 2020 and 2021. This season he had similar issues to Schuster with a bad injury early on (elbow dislocation), then struggled to get to his playing weight. That was topped off by being dropped for disciplinary problems towards the end of the season.

He could do with a change in environment, and some new coaching. He is only 21.
Best for Garrick would be a pretty good result in my opinion. Only if Garrick asks for a release though.

Injuries,yes,he’s had a few in his short career.Attitude,only slightly.He’s done nothing that would cause a club to steer clear of him and the “issues” he has had,I’d put down to being young,he only turned 21 this year,which could be relevant to his injuries as well

I can't help but think it would have to be a pretty big offer from Newcastle. Garrick just looks and sounds like he's happy where he is - despite all the crap.

Not sure to be honest have not seen him play the last few season I'll let others speculate on his current form and if he should be looked at.

He’s just slow, drifts in and out of games, and is easily stepped by his opposite centre. Apart from that he is the ok.

 

[Shoe1]

I wonder if He will let Garrick go to the knights. That also would not be a popular move

Is this a thing, or are you just shooting the breeze?

Jeez we'll probably sign him

Hadley would EXPLODE

Hadley would EXPLODE

Almost worth the risk then...

 

[Eagles4Life]

Hadley would EXPLODE

Has to happen then.

Has Tony turned up to escort Bozo from the forum? Asking for a friend?

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Mestrov can only do what Penn allows him to do. So far it appears that the owner and CEO are on the same page and that is a good start. Leadership and management comes from the top. Now that they are making changes they need to get them right and stay on their plotted course.

I think he’s already left , for the off season anyway.

I saw a lot of Knights games and Klemmers stats are good but he is ineffective I feel, soft in defence and runs the ball half hearted.

Best for Garrick would be a no brainer.

Not what Penn allows him to do... what Penn tells him to do and the day Mestrov steps out of line and doesn't agree on something significant with Penn he will be gone. 7 CEO's and 5 coaches now while this clown has owned the Eagles outright.

 

[Under the Sticks]

So Big Tony sacks a Fulton and then less than a week later re-signs a Fulton.

I'm impressed!
