Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We get shafted with pretty much every deal.
Think Matterson, Aloiai and before that Teddy, Moses etc.
Can you imagine our club fighting with the other clubs over talent in a draft?
Everyone would continue to take the P155 out of us

All this discussion is useless if the players have no heart and continues to give up in games.

This is a culture issue.

Maguire is the leader and should be driving cultural change. I guess it's only been 3 years and according to many the culture is still garbage. What does that tell you?

TBH I think it tells us we desperately need to get a sports psychologist to be able to get inside these players heads to be able to press the right buttons to have them not give up and keep trying when the scoreboard is not the best. The methods used by Maguire of yelling or silence doesnt work.

This the is best suggestion which would really pay dividends. Many players lose confidence and interest as soon as Madge starts screaming at them/the group. Maybe Madge thinks he is doing the right thing but it certainly is not.

Madge has to change his ways and instead of lambasting the team he should turn to encouraging them.

Pascoe hartigan lee sheens are all leaders. The board. Leaders.

With the exception of sheens the rest are a rabble and are as responsible for the culture.

Blaming Madge for everything is so last week

It tells you it takes a long time to fix a rotten culture and you need the support of everyone to do it.

Or, that there is nothing wrong with the culture in the joint and it is being used as an excuse.

Great thread. How lame is Morgan Harper? Again, a knob who will make a career out of looking like he’s going to an 80s party every day.

I would think only making the playoffs 3 times since the merger over 20 years ago would put that many holes in your theory even a Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon supporter would find it hard to believe it especially considering 50% of the teams make it every year

Harper has to be the worst defensive centre in the NRL,with Suli and one or two Tigers not far behind.Pairing him with Saab was never going to end well
Shows the criticality of centre defence..particularly not rushing up out of the line..hope Madge was paying attention

You can’t say that after watching the last game.

How dare you attack his personal character and attack him for his appearance!? 😡

Jokes.
He is very lame. He was woeful last night.
Time for a haircut and a shave.

Manly in general were extremely ineffective last night. Very poor performance and clearly the better team won.

When Suli put his head down, he made things happen...

Only issue is, he doesn't appear willing to do that for 80 minutes. Brilliance like that when the game is already lost is pretty pointless.

Another one due for a haircut and a kick up the backside. This is first grade not forcey backs at the local park with the 27 district boys.

So happy to see Benji playing in next week’s Grand Final.So derived on so many levels.
Still can’t believe that he was forced out of this club…still would have been the BEST player in our so called team
Well played Benji.

Turn it up. He’s a fantastic defensive centre, he’s just a bloody kid, him and Saab in their first KO finals game in their first full season in the comp. will only be better next season and beyond. Only thing he needs to work on is his hands. Him, Parker and suli would walk into our team

 

[craigtob]

So let’s see?
Playing in the GF
Or the bottom 3 ?
Not bad
Would walk straight into our so called top 30

Benji in our top 30 = we're still bottom 3.

He got to go work with a star studded team with one of the greatest coaches of all time.

See how he goes against next week against the real deal, not a Manly team that couldn't get into gear.

Benji needed to be in a team that could protect him, we weren't that team.
