Another one of the scumbag clubs Manly are in a bit of turmoil and i reckon there a timebomb about to explode next year.

I heard 6 weeks ago that Turbo wants to go UK.

And it now comes out in the media outlets.

It all comes back to Seibs getting an extension last year when a few senior players approached Mestrov and the board before it got rubber-stamped and told them not to extend him past 2025.

Well we all saw this year what DCE thought of that decision.
Good on the club for backing the coach over the senior players.

Where we are different is that I think it’s unethical to own more than one house. There’s other places you can invest without exacerbating housing affordability. Buy some cheap shitcoins or something.

I also don’t think it’s good that the house I live in (and every other house) keep increasing in price. What’s going to happen when my kids grow up and need somewhere to live.
Saying it’s “unethical” to own more than one house is just naive and borderline anti-democratic. People bust their guts working, take on debt, make sacrifices, and should be free to invest in property if they want to. It’s not some moral crime—it’s how wealth has been built for generations.

And this idea that house prices shouldn’t go up is just silly. That’s the whole point of owning an asset—you want it to appreciate. If you’re worried about your kids, then downsize when the time comes and hand them a chunky deposit. Problem solved. But don’t sit there and tell others they’re wrong for making smart choices while you float around in idealistic nonsense.

I hope Manly keep Seibold in the job for 11 years.

They will return to being called the Northern Eagles by then.
He has won half his games at that club ffs. How is that the path to ruin? Even Hasler didn’t hit 50% in his second stint. Manly aren’t the club they were before Penn took full ownership and sacking coaches won’t compensate for lack of ‘investment’ (tipping money into the club).

It’s how wealth has been built for generations in this country full of peasants. It’s why our economy is propped up by mining and home loans, instead of productive activity like in other developed countries.

I disagree with this.

I agree with this but.

Tough loss for Leeds this morning cost themselves a chance for a top 2 spot losing to Catalans at home who were coming lowly 9th with 8 wins from 25 before today.

And depending on results could slip to 5th.

Now will have to go straight to the eliminator in a couple weeks when the finals start

Luke Keary got MOM.

It’s not always about money. At least not for me. I’ve been offered more to leave my current job yet I refused because I love what I do.

Yeah, but you can keep earning what you’re on for the next 30-40 years if you want to.

Mahoney can’t. He has a short time to earn as much as he possibly can. Doubt he will be able to earn over half a million dollars a year after he retires.

Leeds have been in great form and had to take a week off eventually. Is this the loss they had to have?

I’m not sure why we should care, tbh.
Are you putting shit on a team that was fighting for a top 2 spot? I would have killed for the Eels to be on that position this year. We haven’t had that for 20 years.

Being a midget wrestler or a Garden Gnome aren’t the most lucrative of careers.

If Reed stayed at the Eels for 50k less a season he probably could have gotten an upgrade by now with us as he was on the fringe of SOO..

Not sure what he is going to get at the Cows but I would assume it's less than what he is on as no one else had much interest in him...

Id say he’s getting a decent payout from the Bulldogs to get him out of his contract.
