Just watching the way Manly played today against a table topping Souths side, I have nothing but admiration for the way Des has pulled them together and got them firing.
Even taking into account that Reynolds had an off day with the boot, it was still a gutsy effort.
Ostensibly the same playing group as last year but with a hard nosed, professional coach in charge, they have grown another leg.
Those who wrote Des off and pointed to his dire coaching style at Canterbury are probably scratching their heads now.
The style of footy that Manly are playing is anything but dire and conservative.
That is the ingredient that we are missing and have done so for the last 5 years.
