Which round will Trent be fired?

[globaleagle]

Must admit I'm warming to Twenty, much like @Ryan I can see that he has some passion for our club, and think that might start to show with the players as well.

I'm not yet spending my Lottoland winnings, but I'm sure at buying the ticket stage.

You're warming to Ryan?

You're warming to Ryan?

I've always warmed to @Ryan , he is a very passionate Manly fan who wears his heart on his sleeve, and at times gets caned for doing so.

Unfortunately, I only rate as a little hot water bottle. Small and round, but very warm !

I have tipped Barrett to survive. But that tip is dependent upon him getting his team selections right this season. He has plenty of depth and a motivated squad. His destiny is in his own hands! So to speak!

Trent survives to round 1 !!!

Hows

that working for you so far?

 

[ricardo]

Get your bets in folks

It's only Round 1. I'm not happy with today's result but we weren't helped by some poor refereeing resulting in minimal possession. As far as team selections are concerned I do not consider Brown or Perrett in our top 17 and in my opinion Hastings will make a better Hooker than API who should coming off the bench. I'm not a TB fan Toovey should be there!

Dan Ferris is the real culprit that needs to be sacked. Barrett is guilty of having faith in him. When Dan Ferris arrived at the club from the Titans he unceremoniously sacked one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the game Donny Singe. Donny was a team player and was keen to work with Ferris however Ferris a nobody decided to boot the two time premiership winning trainer Singe. Since then we have constantly looked out of gas and unfit for large periods during games. It is those 20min periods where the other team gains ascendancy and puts cheap points on us. We start to lose our fitness and with that we succumb to fatigue and we scramble just to keep any kind of shape. Then after relentless defensive periods we have no bodies with enough energy to get into structure for attacking plays, making our halves look poor and then fatigue causes us to make silly errors and take poor options under duress. Barrett made a dumb call allowing Singe to leave. We haven't competed fitness wise since.

I was waiting to see the new and improved Mr Plod, who was keen to make up for his terrible 2016 season. He talked the talk in the papers. Some of us even believed the hype.
We all now know that he is no longer able to compete.
So, if Twenty doesn't drop him for next week then my vote will be to sack the coach immediately because he is putting hope before reality.

I actually saw Nate hit the ball up!! Mind you he did look around for someone to offload to.

Completely agree!
Blake Green looked fat and slow.
Lord Perrett looked fat and slow, and that drop ball on tackle 1 one was one of the wussiest efforts seen in a Manly jumper. A coach with any clout would drop him on that alone.
AFB looked worse than last year.
Winterstein fitter?. I didnt seen it.
Myles fitter?...umm did he play?.
Feel good stories are over. Now reality sets in.

Why not get rid of the real coach?

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Ah you guys are amazing!

 

[The Royal Soup]

We play

Souths

Cows away

Dogs

Roosters

We could well be 0/5 and judging by that performance today rd1 at your home ground we will be

In which case it has to be bye bye Barrett

 

[ricardo]

Big void between game 1 and 9 if anyone wants to chance their arm?

 

[ManlyTragic]

I reckon that we will win the comp, then some other club will poach him, he will then try to take some of the players and coaching staff with him, then we will sack him!

You'd have to imagine the Pennsters would have already spoken to both Ivan Cleary and no doubt De$ Ha$ler.

I doubt very much the latter would be considered, not enough money in our joint, nor power.

So, the only way they'd sack Twenty is,

A) they are prepared to pay him out for almost 2 years ( I think he signed on for 3 years).

B) they have a ready made replacement ( see above )

I think he'll make it to years end, but if we are 0/8 boy oh boy the pressure will be on!!

Couldn't be on big coin imo - if its more of the same after a month or two move him on, get a coach with cred like Ivan and watch the fans and sponsors get onboard again when we start looking like we actually have a coach and a game plan. (And maybe string a few wins together)
