It amazing how relatively quiet this thread is (especially when it is probably the best news we had in an otherwise disappointing season) compared to anyhing that is a whinge fest

Everyone is whinging about this too. Saying we paid to much! Sometimes no one can be made happy.

 

[Nordburg]

Yep, nearly time to clock off for me. I am starting to come on here armed and loaded with disdain for some of these keyboard clowns who disrespect nearly everything about our team in the name of "constructive criticism"
I need a Van Halen ban hammer, especially for that nerdberg twit

You're not Andrew Fifita by any chance?

The other great thing is we have our Fullback, Halfback, 5/8th, Hooker, all locked up for at least the next two season so we should really be able to get some great stability there, bar injuries.

I think because we all manly supporters kind of knew deep down the boys were going to commit to manly long term. It would of been a real shock and dissapointing result had they changed clubs.

Still good knowing they are locked in for another 4 years

Will won't come back, Sione isn't that good, Albert is a fullback/centre.

Why won't Will come back?

 

[Holmsey]

Why won't Will come back?

I just don't think it will happen.

If the club can pull off DWZ we don't need a Will.

Great to have the lads wrapped up.

Hope we see an even better tommy next year with his ankle right.

Will jake be captain next year we think?

Yes Jake will be skipper, not sure if we will have co captains anymore though.

I think we should start a site 'When is Manly going to re sign the Trbojevics to play for us after 2020'. We should be on the Penn's and Fulton's back to let us know how far they are through negotiations.

 

[Woodsie]

Just heard from the horse that the Turbo's were ready to sign last week but wanted assurances that Barrett would still be coaching in 2019.

 

[joeboy]

Well that's a vote of confidence for a coach that hasn't really shown the results he needs to get (and I believe he can) his job would be easier if he was allowed to manage HIS squad.


Too much meddling and agendas still.

Show me a third and fourth Turbo and I'll be excited.😛
Love them both, great players, enormous potential, Manly to the core. But I shouldn't need to remind anybody that they're going to need players and structures around them to truly excel. Look how 2016 turned out, for example…

Woodsie, I've said it before and will keep saying it. Barrett copped a turkey last year with injuries. I dont think Toovey or Hasler would have done much better. Its been a steep learning curve for him, but I think having had such a bad year will toughen him up and make him potentially a better coach, as it did Hasler in 2003-4. If Manly can manage to avoid too many serious injuries, especially to their key players, they'll make the 8 comfortably. I wouldnt be touching Barrett until the end of '17.

And I have been saying exactly the same thing ... just bored and stirring the pot.

 

[Fluffy]

Really good news to have them signed up for 4 years. All reports suggest that young Bed is every bit as good as his siblings.

I heard he is soft as a pillow

How would Jarrod Maxwell know?

While Barrett did make some rookie mistakes this year there were also some positive signs that he has the makings of a decent coach.

This year was also a year in which he could never get the side settled due to the amount of injuries we had which in fact (given how many players we used) was actually worse than Tooves had in 2015.

Like some others I am prepared to give Barrett at least another year and I do think we can climb into the top 8 at least if we have a good run with injuries and a somewhat decent draw (i.e. not have 5 x 5 day turnarounds in the opening 11 rounds).

Come home after being away for the weekend ,gotta be happy with that news !!

 

[Loobs]

I do love how Killer has primed Jake too. Had him acting as a chauffeur, wouldn't get out of the ice bath so Jake had to front the media after games... Give him the C coz he's earned it!
