Who called it first?

I was just thinking with all of the posts leading up to this. Which poster actually predicted or called it first.

Mark from Brisbane did... thou he won't be able to confirm or deny until #nextweek

The Tooves interview on Fox weeks ago was the first glimmer of a Des return. Tooves mentioned Des might be interested. A few eagle eyed posters latched on to this as hope that he and or Des were in the mix.

And Tooves seemed in a pretty good place discussing it too.
So here's hoping he'll get some sort of gig as well...

I was first - I predicted it in 2003.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I never saw it coming that's why ..

I was calling for this mid-2015 when in my opinion TB was ****e.... does that count? I do remember being lambasted for even mentioning it thou.

This is interesting to me, The fact that Des was mentioned at all and even in a positive light says to me that he is in Penn's thoughts, which makes me think he may be part of the group of possibilities. I think Des may be a dark horse. Probably tin foil hat stuff but i do.

I thought this was telling at the time

Yep - Mark
I quizzes him once on another thread and he did not deny
So Mark gets the award (season passes and airfares from BNE to SYD???)

You can't get an award just from 'denying', otherwise I'd have written "not telling" as the answer on all my university exams!

I don’t about who called it first.

But there was a group of us on here who were calling for Des to return for atleast 12
Months.

Believe there is a post from 2011 calling it

 

[jbb/james]

Ill put my hand up and say it wasnt me. **** i hoped it would be des. But there was a lot of butt hurt on here regarding des that has almost instantly been cleared.

I find that as funny as ****. Winter cleared that up , or 5. Winters anyway

I heard today Dessie will be our new coach........of course the bloke who told me is a Broncos supporter and a complete idiot.

I was told on October 4, never doubted the bloke...

To be fair, Zorba made the call that he would return in one of his first Manly Daily articles in 2011 after Des left. Obviously not a popular call at the time, but he mad the call back then, and he's now been vindicated.
