The only thing Mary will deliver to our club is the Spoon! And won't those friggin Board members look like fools trying to put that in their cabinet.

Pathetic scoreline. Couldn't watch it live but will just delete now anyway.
Sounds like Maranta sucked as predicted. Then again, they probably all did.

For the past two seasons we were well known for our 2nd half of the season fade outs..This year our fade outs occur 20 mins into the first half WTF.......
The heads go down and we wait to be beat
Clueless Coach has to go
High Performance Unit (Pickworth) has to go
Coaching Staff. / Old Boys Club......Has to go
Little or no pressure from lower grades
Shit poor recruitment
This once proud club are a complete laughing stock
CEO Do we have one.....
Cut all losses now , season over....Club future at stake
We desperately need a Phil Gould or a Brian Smith to completely overhaul this mess
Sadly those running the place dont recognise there is one !!!!!
Yep, bring in Gould or Smith.
Coach is a fool. Mary has never been up to it and the players have never been up to it this year.
Recruitment are useless. Millward had provided a second rate squad of players.
Management are unprofessional. Johnston needs to go and the St George members fo the board need to be accountable to the members for their decisions. Get rid of Craig Young and Peter Doust for a start.

Yep,

Today is the "new" low.

8 nil up... with everything to play for, and we fold... Not just fold, but get smacked.

Its the coach, its the players, its our systems, its a disgrace.

WE will end up above Dogs and MAYBE Titans.


Yep....and nothing will change ..except another "Old Boy " assistant who bleeds Red and white appointed as assistant coach number 10 to the titanic.

So a coach gets 0 credit for 8/9 wins, but it's 100% his fault when we lose our last 7/8.

If you think you're thinking rationally just stop for a second, take a deep breath, and reflect for a second
Let’s be honest the Coach is just not up to NRL stand closely followed by the players and our board.

I bet Millward isn't happy with Maranta being selected. He straight up said he was bought exclusively as a CC player and wouldn't be seeing first grade
Millward also said a whole lot of other things including that he was going to sign a top outside back. Millward and Mary are just not up to the task and should both be sacked. Maranta is in our top 30 but should never ever have been signed.

The big mistake was not signing Hasler when he was available. The next big mistake will be if we sign Barrett as coach. For goodness sakes hire Gould and give him the authority to sort this mess.

Great. Now why did we win 8/9 last year?
Simply because the predictable one out power game that McGregor advocates was successful.
We had the forwards to execute that game plan UNTIL injuries set in and opposition coaches devised simple tactics to neutralise the bush footy tactics McGregor put in place.
That is all he knows and once he was exposed, could not adjust his game plan to continue winning.
In fact, I believe he doesn't know how to. He is unqualified to coach FG.
Once we cease dominating possession and field position we have no other dimension as a footy team.
That deficiency rests 100% on the coach's shoulders.
BTW, so what if we won 8/9 - where are we when the whips are cracking??
Second half of the season fades are McGregor's trademark - not one year not two years....every year.
This year we just fold in the second half of games which, from the players' and fans' point of view, is just demoralizing.
So hope that brings some perspective to the argument.

The coach is not NRL standard, ... is a given.
Some players in our squad, whom are highly rated by many members here, are also not NRL standard.

Manly could have put on another 12-18 points easy. Our "commitment" is non existent.
