Didn't stop you from purchasing the greedy ballhog Kris Keating did it. Keating could be the worst 5/8 in the competition of 2012, definitely below the international you let go to the Eels.
To be honest he had been hampered by injury and it was Moores choice to pick Keating ahead of Roberts. In 2009 Roberts was sensational and his absence has been a big reason for the drop in the teams performance. Sure he is a confidence player so you drop him and stick in the NSW cup and he will struggle. Give him faith and a good forward pack and he will shine.LOL! Ben roberts has been HORRIBLE for the past coupe years, did u see him at all? even in the nsw cup he was horrible.
I will not miss him at all he is one of those players that with an experienced half (noddy) and a good frame of mind he can have a cracker of a game, once ever 6 months. then can be solid for a bit. but sooner or later he falls back to the same ben roberts we all know. far from something to be upset about losing.
keating is a dud, no doubt. however hes off contract next year and less then 70% of what roberts was eating up in nsw cup.
also as someone said thats moores choice, i look forward to dessies![]()
Can't help but feel for the decent Manly fans out there!!!

Both of them ...
Manly need to bring in Toovey straight away.
Des, thanks for the past 7 years, but it's time to f**k off.
So he took less lol! Sinking ship or what?
As for "my mates at the kennel" im not a member there its full of idiots, i do check it out now and then though and see you've been embarrased on there more then anyone else.
People are showing threads about releases etc and ur who says ull get anyone LOL. Des wont leave DES RE-SIGNED TILL 2015. lol. classic.
Sounds like Kris Keatings season. Ill try and find those two fantastic games though.tbf, I wouldn't with Ben Roberts on my worst enemy. For all his flaws, I would take Keating twice over over Ben Roberts.
Ben Roberts will have 2 fantastic games a year and will ingle handedly throw away between 4-5 games a year whilst not being outstanding in the rest
lol touche
just when you think the NRL's scummiest club was on the mend, the bulldogs manage to stoop even lower...
Firstly, I feel for Manly fans. So soon after the premiership glory to have all this happen is unfair. But it seems some first class morons are running that club.
If the problem is he's a control freak and he apparently wasn't given enough control...that's f**king ridiculous. At worst he's in the top 3 coaches in the game, and he's arguable the #1 of those 3. If you have a coach like that, you give him all the f**king power he wants. I reckon Manly should change their board at the first opportunity.
Secondly, I don't understand the criticism towards Canterbury. Any club would have gone after him given the oppurtunity. And as for the timing, we like to think of this as a professional comp. Well if it's professional, then they don't owe anyone anything and have the right to go after anyone they want whenever they want.
Well done to Canterbury for getting a coach of Hasler's quality. And heads need to roll among the higher ups at Manly.
it's factioned up there. delmege spent $15m and got out. penn family putting the broom through the place, getting rid of anyone with persuasion and influence outside their inner sanctum and stacking the joint with their own allies.Firstly, I feel for Manly fans.

the Penn family and the current executive probably want to control the place.If the problem is he's a control freak and he apparently wasn't given enough control...that's f**king ridiculous.

seriously, is there anyone at the Bulldogs that hasn't been bought from another club?

Man, you're pathetic. Its upsetting that our coach is leaving but how upset could Ceagle possibly be? We just won the Premiership! Your club ran I don't know and I don't give a f**k because you weren't in the finals. Let's keep this in perspective. Manly have just won a Premiership, the doggiesbrah have just signed a Premiership winning coach that they won't get until 2013. I wonder which is better? :roll: I feel the saying 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush comes to hand' applies well enough here. I prefer to have the Premiership now then the chance of Premierships in the future.
lol pathetic? sounds like someone needs the lube, you'll be right mate, your clubs in good hands AND very much so one of the most richest :lol:
