what are our options?

[Mataiforever]

ivan cleary any chance?? toovey come back? id take back des for f***'s sake.
we need a new coach.
this isn't your typical 'bag the coach' thread when we lose, i struggle to find one good reason as to why he should stay. seriously, someone give me one good thing he has done?
a few good signings in taupau, cullen etc.
look at the players he has signed though. lane, 3 clubs in 12 months, winterstein, aus sevens outcast, myles,... no comment, sold parcell and buhrer.. why?!
its a complete joke. this needs to be resolved before our stars leave... if we leave barrett in the role ill give you two years until the trbojevics leave, and who could blame them.
the side isn't manly, no ball contesting, no repeat sets, no BIG players... what we have about 3 big men? taupau afb and lawrence...

You will never see Toovey back there whilst the Penns control the organisation. You will never see Hasler back there, unless Fulton moves on.

So get behind the current bloke. Because everything else is pie in the sky stuff.

 

[Ralphie]

We need Ivan Cleary, Tooves or Hasler

 

[COMMANDER]

Our only option is to crawl into the corner and assume the foetal position.

 

[Holmsey]

We need Hasler or Tooves. Not another blow in. Need a Manly coach.

Any one, faith gone baz, unless he releases Myles and brown effective immediately and lifts the team to absolutely demolish every team for the next month, the next year?! I don't know will take a ****load to get out of that performance tonight. Returns of forwards may help him out

getting behind the current bloke guarantees the trbojevic's moving on in a couple years. ivan cleary surely isnt a pie in the sky. regardless, im certain there are better options than barrett, and im sure theres more than 3 blokes in the mix

Mate he had a history of **** coaching with an under 20's that, before and after his tenure, always make grand finals.

Nothing is changing, awful selections, no structure, no game plan. Yes we have a lacklustre squad but he's not getting anything out of them. This souths side got flogged by the tigers last week. The tigers. It's their first win without Inglis in 8 attempts.

It's cute how you think Barrett personally handles all the signings.

 

[HoldenV8]

Yeah but as the coach you would think that he has some say about who we sign and release.

 

[Mataiforever]

It's cute how you think Barrett personally handles all the signings.

never said he single handedly picked who to sign... but im sure his say is significant enough to state the obvious, being that half of them are s**t e.g. perrett, lane etc almost all of them are outcasts.. and for a reason. also, its not just the signings at all, but the s****y team selections. who picks 3 hookers in a 17? 2 hookers and 2 second rowers on the bench, and consistently was incompetent at picking a good team last year. won't even start on team structure and plays

Baz has to drop Walker to show who is boss

Bozo needs to look at getting in a head kicker to help Baz out with his Team chats

mate walker has talent/potential and thats a rare quality in our squad.. would rather him just pull his head in, also its not walker individually that ruined our performance, besides his goal kicking being woeful, rather the combination of p*ss weak forwards and getting penalised for tackling the opposition.

 

[Nordburg]

So there are still people out there that think Barrett is running the show?How cute.

 

[tookey]

A clean out in 2017

25 players out and 25 new ones in

It has worked fantastic last two years

Maybe fulton will get rid of some more Manly juniors this year The turbo brothers perhaps?

 

[XV-1]

We need to get rid of Barret and Bozo.

Bozo might be a manly legend but he has personally overseen the potential destruction of the Manly never say die spirit.

Cleary or Des will be fine - both ex Manly players.

Cutes my word!

give us an in depth run down about your knowledge of how the club is run please? i agree its silly to think that the head coach has any influence on the club

 

[SoaringEagle]

As long as myles and brown are playing, we are doomed. They r hopless, i feel for the other 15 players on the field that are forced to play with them

Walker is the only Manly player that only runs west-east.
Today he even managed to create a shepherd to boot - unbelievable for someone with so much speed.

He still can not tackle - arm grabs are under 7s tactics

Compare to him, Kelly is a refreshing sight 🙂
