Blame the "man" at fault? Blasphemy
We all know he was leaving for money sooner than was announced, he left us a f**k you in a ticking time bomb in the shape of big back ended contacts for elderly players (Joe G and Kite),I wouldn't pay either over $100k, fact is they aren't really that great, its irrelevant that Joe was our best prop this year, he had zero competition other than when Kite played against Melbourne or when King felt like taking a hit up, our props were sub par, Watmough and Glenn Stewart carried us up field, as did Buhrer and one game She-Rex did (vs roosters)
All the contracts Des wrote should be null and void and the dogs stripped of the minor premiership for blatant cheating in a different form than the last time they cheated, it was a house of cards created by a man who was picked up whilst languishing as a teacher and a Penrith reggy, he would have amounted to nothing without Manly giving him his shot, probably still butthurt Toovey took his job after a premiership win as a ,his only motivation is money and success for himself which is quantified by what his players do
I give props to David Perry our P-plate general manager (CEO) for his hard work and many successful contractual wins,I have faith this matter will be sorted soon
As for the original cheats Des and Todd's relationship is falling apart at the seams after Todd rang the premiership bell to soon, Des is the biggest control freak in Australia and would have been super pissed about that, his mantra is under the radar, he prefers to have his juggernaut hidden until it busts the grand final open, Todd exposed the team to massive scrutiny not that Bellamy would've missed such weaknesses, but all the pressure was on the blue and white after Todd and the fans hit the bell
Des is a revolutionary, he as a player was the first with a proper fitness regime as he figured if he could outlast the opponent he would win more than he lost, it translated to his super fit (minus 2010) teams as a coach, in 2010 he used a more scientific approach to fitness which was awesome for about 50 minutes a match, then they fell apart, hopefully he experiments more with science but I wouldn't bet on it
He is also risk averse, he doesn't ever drop under performing players, his best team on paper have a job for life, Tony Williams being the perfect example in his days on the wing
I think him and Bellamy are infact married, they like the same things, coach the same way and both like contractual work that to some would be considered cheating, Bellamy would be the Bitch or feminine part of the relationship as he looks like an old lesbian anyway
If Des was on fire I'd piss on him, I'd just avoid the burning bits, Canterbury can keep him for life or until another club wants to pay more
As for Crusher, his loss is minimal, he is a man who the almighty buck was bigger than what Canterbury did to his club, if Kane was my kid I'd have stopped at nothing to bring the club to its knees financially and on the field til it folded, we have recruited intelligently and strongly for next season without him so they can keep him too, or atleast til Des leaves, he will be remembered for a 2 metre dropout in state of origin and a beard that rivals even Wolfman
Do I blame Des the "man" who wrote these contracts out that are hamstringing us? You bet your life I do, do I want him back at Manly? Do cancer patients want their cancer back? My guess (and personal experience) tells me no, not in this lifetime
