Lock Manly in for the spoon

[thorson1987]

Trent deserves nothing. He has been measured up and founs wanting.

But from a club harmony perspective this is fatal.

Agreed, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this.

I'm extremely confident that we wont get the spoon, unless Albert predicts it in the off season, of course.

You bastard. I'm hate watching Matt Seers' legs failing him in 1997 on infinite loop in anger.

Barrett to Newcastle. browny will slap some sense into him.

 

[AJB1102]

so pretty much everyone seen this coming except Trent and Manly. Why does the stuff that's obvious to Joe Public seem hover in the blind spot of those making the decisions?

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

If I was Barrett I would rob a Macca's in the hope of getting 12 months.

Better yet, he should look into what kind of sentence you get for arson....

Lol

Manly Spoon Eagles

 

[veggiepatch1959]

How many other teams have never got the spoon?

After 71 years, not a bad effort.

It's the longest a team has gone without a maiden spoon IIRC. Roosters managed 41 years, and It'll be 40+ years before the Broncos, the next team to have avoided their maiden spoon longest, could overtake us.

We've always been lucky to have Parramatta around to save us tbh.

Edit- In terms of simply avoiding the spoon, Balmain did so for 63 years between 1911 and 1974. If we count St George and the merge as one entity they've been avoiding it since 1938, so 80 years.

If you are counting the merge as one entity that would mean you include Illawarra in the equation. Their last spoon was '89.

Manly won’t take the spoon. Bastards!

Saints fans have followed a top flight side that hasn't won a wooden spoon since 1938.

I don't think from a strict position that StGI and StG are the same club, and nor is Illawarra so that wouldn't count. From that POV the original Saints Run stops at 60. Anything beyond that is just a dick measuring contest.

Harold Holt came back. Anything is possible.

 

[Perth Red]

Really vindictive. If Trent stays on his pretty much f**ked in terms of what limited coaching future he had. The mob in charge is more than happy to burn the joint down to prove a point and they'll do it here.

They're forcing Trent to quit without compensation or, alternatively destroy his remaining prospects.

Of course, it's another little gift to the fans.

Le sigh.

Nah, toss it of destroying manly for a year, go to SL and win a trophy, return back to nrl when opportunity arises. Trent gets last laugh.

His coaching skills are about as extant as a Perth NRL side.

non-existent.

As much as I dislike Manly it’s a great effort to avoid a spoon. The question is will they ever get a spoon?

Hopefully not in my lifetime.

If you’re a 59 model you should be sweet mate. They’ve gone this long now. Parra will probably claim a few more in the next 10 years or so.
