The Manly Sea Eagles will tomorrow (October 8th) make an official statement to clarify speculation surrounding coach Des Hasler’s coaching commitments beyond season 2012.

Todd_Greenberg Todd Greenberg
Re the many questions relating to the coach-Please do not believe current reports/speculation. When we're ready to confirm details we will!


Not looking good, but I'm not believing anything until tomorrow.

Geoff Toovey as HC would ensure we're the most beloved club in the NRL :)

Good luck to Des if he goes, anyone who has heard stories about him will know he loves a dollar so this isn't surprising.

In Des's defense though, what more could he achieve at Manly?

Two premierships and overseeing the evolution of what was once a bankrupt, struggling club to one that surely is the envy of the NRL.

merkinerbury is a huge challenge, and professionals love challenges. I was merely hoping that he' be around for another 3 years before leaving. He certainly could have created a Bennett-esque area.

Regardless of what happens, I still love the bloke dearly.

hahaha hasn't shattered my world d*ckhead :D

Ooh I think it has.

Would have loved for him to stay but if he's not he's not. We've got 12 months to find a capable replacement. Still the champion team of 2011.

Is the season over already? All I see in the papers is a whole lot of rats getting off Manly before the ship goes under. Can't even remember who won the grand final.

And you don't give a f*ck about failure??? hahahahahaha you loser!!!!!!!

It's out of my hands mate. Why should I cry when things go wrong? It doesn't seem to be doing you any good.

And my apologies on the 30 year thing, you've won f*ck all in 25 years, not 30. But you're used to it, right :lol::lol::lol:

Well I can see why you'd want to live in the past, as a Manly fan. The future's not looking too bright for you.

It's incredible, what he's done. Surely he's up there with Bennett now.

Of course you can't rememebr who won the GF. a) your level of intellect has you struggling to remember what you had for breakfast this morning and b) being an Eels supporter you lost interest in the season about 12 weeks ago :lol::lol:

You just completely contradicted your original argument that I (and other Manly supporters) are shattered by this. Like you said genius "Its out of my hands. Why should I cry when things go wrong?"

Congratulations. Officially in the top 10 dumbest things I've seen/read/heard this year :crazy: Yep living waaaay in the past. A whole 5 days dickwad. 25 years and counting champ. Oh, and I'll take Manly's future over the Eels ANY day :D

All the more reason why winning a premiership should assure that this does not happen. If the NRL or independent commission are fair dinkum the prizemoney for the premiers should be at least $5 million. Not the paltry high hundred thousands as it stands now.

I'm no Manly fan for the obvious reasons but I respect them. It's shit for them that Hasler is leaving and should not have happened especially seeing that he is a Sea Eagles' legend.

For a bloke who can't even use html tags, I wouldn't be too quick to throw around accusations about other peoples' intellects.

So why are you crying about it? Let it go mate. Look to the futu... :lol:

Sorry I couldn't keep a straight face.

You obviously haven't understood it then.

Yep living waaaay in the past. A whole 5 days dickwad.

Given how bleak your club's future looks, it may as well be 500 years. Last weekend is already in the past.

Move on.

25 years and counting champ.

You're obsessed with the past aren't you?

Oh, and I'll take Manly's future over the Eels ANY day

:lol::lol::lol:

You're kidding aren't you? Everyone wants to play for my club, whereas everyone wants to leave yours.

Looks like your luck has finally run out, while Parra's has finally come good. Payback's a bitch.

Bennett won 6 premierships with the donks and barely missed a finals series. Two back to back premierships and 3 in 4 years...
then he goes to St Merge Dragqueens and wins another one...

While what Dessy has achieved at Manly is amazing...two premierships in four years...he's still a long way from Bennett!

Yeah you're right :roll: I don't have the time nor inclination to sit around posting 7,000 posts on a forum. I couldn't give two fat rats how to html tags (whatever that means).
Maybe you could show me so I can be dazzled by your computer wizardry??
As for everyone wanting to go to your club??????? bwhahahahahahaha. Who? Sandow, Reynolds (top buy that one), Hopoate (because you threw STUPID money at him) and Willie Tonga. Wow!!! Talk about beating a path to the door. Shall I list for you the players to have left your club who've gone onto bigger and better things as opposed to the ones who've gone into the cesspit? :lol::lol:
A question for you - what's lacking in your life that you feel the need to come into the Manly forum to have your little "lols" about our coach going to the Bulldogs? Which part of that involves the Eels? Hopoate I can understand. There is a whole thread on this in the NRL forum. Anyway, I'm sure the brilliant reply will be "to wind you up blah blah blah". Just curious. I couldn't give a shit about the Eels forum unless its something related directly to Manly. Guess thats why you've got your 7,000 posts hey champ ;-)

Hasler's done it in much harder circumstances though.

To be honest, Bennett should have won the comp every year at Brisbane. I was unconvinced about him until he won at the Dragons and even then it took a grand final vs Brian Smith and the team who ran last the year before.

The Dragons under Bennett went out in straight sets in '09 and '11, and in 2010 they beat the teams that finished 8th (Manly), 3rd (Tigers) by 1 point, and 6th (Roosters).

They had a dream finals run, which seems to be the recipe for winning a premiership.

Contrast this with the 2009 Eels who had to play the top 4 teams - we beat the Dragons (1st), Titans (3rd), Bulldogs (2nd) and finally lost to a full strength Storm (4th).

That same year the Storm won the grand final after belting Manly (5th) and Brisbane (6th) and then cruised home against the Eels (8th).

Goes to show finishing near the top of the ladder is the real achievement. After that it's just a game of luck who you face in the decider.

But to do it twice in four years is no accident, no matter how lucky you are.

Dunno it just feels good to kick Manly while you're down.

As for my postcount, it's because I'm tight with money and trolling on the internet is a cheap hobby.

hahaha fair enough!!

As for kicking Manly while they're down. I'll take a coach and player leaving the week after a Grand Final win ANY day as a bad week :D

I would gladly trade you.

As you can see, the season highlight for Parra fans is another club's misfortune. Shows how low we've sunk.

Bring on 2012.
