Interesting to see the Manly coaching fiasco unfolding. Not that I'm not enjoying it.
Whilst I will admit I'm a fan of Shane Flangan becoming our next coach, it is somewhat surprising with the number of new coaches this year and next, it would appear he hasn't been sounded out. I think his only chance now is St.Merge. Griffin appears to be a dead man walking.
Plus I don't think with Elkin as our head trainer it would be amicable.
I want BA to win a comp but I wouldn't care if he was punted at the end of next year.
Here's hoping we can again improve on this year and go all the way next year.
A bit of an unprecedented end of year coming up with so many players from so many clubs representing in this so called world cup.
I reckon some teams may have their world cup reps resume pre-season training in the new year...

You have to give it to Hasler though. No other coach would stay in his position. He's essentially doing the best thing for the team by allowing Manly to bring Seibold as successor. If we can't win a premiership with BA, I hope BA will do the same with another coach.

Hasler sacked
Time to get our HOF to talk to the managers of the players who want to get the eff out of insular peninsular
Get the Turbo bros on a package deal.
Tommy would be good in the centres...just like origin

 

[Twizzle]

Turbo would commend a big fee but he spends way too much time injured to be worth it imo.

He just needs to go to a better club

Seibold is an interesting decision as Head Coach if Manly go that way. I rate him highly as very good tactical mind, but something obviously went a miss at the Broncos. I know they were a very young side at the time, but there had to be more than that to their complete capitulation under Seibold.

We should be targeting one of their speedsters, either Saab or Koula. Also Haumole Olakau'atu would be awesome with Moses on the right edge

Would also enquire about Garrick.
Play wing and fullback and excellent goal kicker

Have a sneaking suspicion all will not be well with the Polynesian influence and Des's removal sparks danger and exodus.
He has a very close relationship with many of them and looks like he tried to protect/back them with jersey pride saga

The Trbo's also seem close to Des and appear filthy with the decision.

Good in theory.

Tom has played 40 games over the past 4 years. To put into context how much time he has spent on the sidelines, Papa has played more NRL games for the Eels. If you're going to pay someone over a million the only time they shouldn't be playing is when they're ineligible because of origin.

*EDIT* Josh Hodgson has played more NRL games in the past 4 years than Tom has ffs

OOOFFFFF! Now there’s a stat

 

[Soto]

We only need Tommy Turbo for 3 or 4 games a year...
Agree he's a massive risk and should not be anywhere near $1m. Is being paid on potential more than anything

He has age on his side but I’d argue that Dylan Brown is being paid on potential even though he just had a breakout year. Still went missing plenty of times though.

That raises an interesting topic Re Drown... We often used to hear Sterlo talk about halves needing the difference between their best and worst games not being too stark.... Like, no point having Chris Sandow who could give you a 9 out of 10 one week but give you 3-4 out of 10 for the 6 weeks straight after....

What do people reckon Drown's difference between best and worst looked like in 2022? I reckon 8.5 best and 5.5 or 6 worst performances. I don't recall any out and out stinkers from him. Quiet maybe but not a liability in any games...

Whatever it is, we are definitely paying to much to re-sign him especially when you consider that Munster was just coming off a $800k backloaded contract and just re signed for $1m after rejecting $1.4m from the Dolphins.
