The decision was made months ago - and wasn't based on results, as if that was the case, you would at least wait until the season was over. manly could still make the eight, heck, they could still make the GF, and win it - then could they still say it was based on results??
Fact is, the Penn's and Toovey's relationship isn't great, and the Penn's are just using the "results " excuse - simply because they want a different coach as of 2016. Can't blame Toovey for finals loss in 2104 either. Had just about our whole forward pack out and lost in golden point.
He hasn't lost the players admiration or respect, and he hasn't lost the fans either. Wish I could say the same about the owners and Penns.
I knew it was a dark day when quantum got bought out, for so long I was hoping it was the other way and Perry stayed on. The whole thing sucks really.
