Mate don't worry.

As long as he can get Brett Stewart and Anthony Watmough on board he can recreate 2011 with Hoppa, T-rex and Foz!

But Cereally, I would not be surprised if Foran turned it around under Des' tutelage. Just keep him away from that Colorful racing personality and his old cancerous clique of ex-Manly greats.

At least some other people have similar thoughts on des in here, most people think the sun shines out of his arse. I was praying we signed clearly, that win against the Broncos come at the worst time.

Dont worry. Slothfield will be there to take him under the wing.

The Dogs hitched their wagon to a couple of junior stars who have been exposed at the top level and it's killing them.

Moses Mbye and Michael Lichaa are not NRL standard at all. Lichaa was supposed to be the next big thing when they poached him, but he has some of the worst dummy-half service since Alan Tongue found himself there for a season or two. And Mbye might have been able to step inside and outside of defenders in the juniors, but his playmaking skills are non-existant. He's a very, very, very poor man's Milford.

Woods is a terrible waste of money. If things don't go his way at the dogs he'll just have another sook like he's done at the Tigers.

Agreed, couldn't believe he let Cook go after a standout season. Shaun Lane was another.

I'm thrilled with the signing of Foran but not so much with Woods. Think that was a waste of money.

can shaun lane even make the manly side this season? lol

After he left the Bulldogs his career really went on the decline at the warriors and then Manly. For the half season that he played at topgrade at Canterbury, he looked like a player who should have been playing state and international footy by now. A tremendous waste of talent.

The other thing I don't like is how he's using Klemmer - as a lockforward for longer miniutes. The additional workload has made him have to drop some weight which has taken a bit of punch out of his charges.

Klemmer is big enough to hit the line as hard as needed. There's a few of the NSW giant forwards who talk a big game but don't even hit the line as hard as a midget like Jack Bird. What the f**k is wrong with them?

He does hit the line hard but he could do it better with the size that he had a few years back. Remember his first origin series in 2015? Or at the Dogs that year with that one game in particular against Melbourne.

Nope. If it was part of his game more than once a season then we'd see it all the time and I'd be aware of it. He gave a bit one origin and told Parker to pull his head in but I'd like to see him start skittling a few in origin now.

It's like people still talking Tamou up. One decent performance every 12 months for a human his size is just piss weak. Should be tearing into the line with every carry. That's his job. He gets a pat on the back now if he can do it 2 times a game. I just dont get it.

Are you f**king docile? Adam Elliott was selected and played.
And Jackson? And any number of others?

Your scum club really is f**king smart isn't it? f**k the sport over and still get smashed by a Cowboys side without Thurston. Oh how the lols rang around that empty stadium and your attempted defence of it is even more laughable.
