Not even kidding when I watch manly it reminds me of the old days and the way we used to play. Especially after tonight’s game when they slotted the field goal, we used to always win those tight games especially the golden point ones !!
They're a replica of our 2014 side. I hope they make the final and get hammered too (not really, I might actually "support" them in the finals, everyone loves an underDOG story right?).Not even kidding when I watch manly it reminds me of the old days and the way we used to play.

Don’t mind manly atm. Them or Canberra.They're a replica of our 2014 side. I hope they make the final and get hammered too (not really, I might actually "support" them in the finals, everyone loves an underDOG story right?).
Because des is an arse holeSo why couldn’t he keep Finucane and Taupau and Cook? Why did he decide to keep Tolman and Lichaa?
Let’s seeLet’s see;-
For starters,
He’s got a gun fullback Trbojevic
A more than decent Halfback DCE
One of the best young hookers Fainu
3 powerful middle forwards Tapau, AFB & J Trbojevic.
Big ball playing edge forwards in Sironen,/Thompson
We have none of the above
Yep and we even put him up in a place in Belmore so he could walk down to training in 5 mins and he still didn't turn up or turned up late.How predictable this thread descended into a Pay bashing.
Let’s rip into the facts;
1. This fat slob turned up to pre season weighing about 300kgs
2. He consistently turned up late/didn’t turn up at all to training sessions. Made new excuses each time
3. He was almost sacked a week earlier, but begged for another chance. He was granted it.
4. Within 3 days of being given another chance, he yet again turned up late to training. There would be no more chances, and he was formally sacked. Any other club/coach would’ve taken the same action.
5. We aren’t paying him to play at another club and never have
ExcatlyAnother thing is Des’s coaching style is great when it’s with a fresh group but after 5 years I think he starts to wear thin.
Spot on! He’s still doing it at Manly too he was dropped a few weeks ago for putting on 10kgs. It’s only a matter of time before he’s punted from there as well.How predictable this thread descended into a Pay bashing.

At Canterbury, Des was only interested in stats...and that's counting his DOLLARSNot sure why Des couldn’t get us playing the way Manly is for his last few seasons?
Thems the breaksWatching the storm versus manly game this guy is a beast what a shame we couldn’t make it work also still burns me to watch tapau on the their team
I thought he was sacked by DesWhat did the kid do again, turned up late to training or something and Pay wanted to make an example of him. It's a shame he's not equally as tough on his pets.
I also think there was no incentive for him. Rain hail or shine the money was the same for him. So it was a job more then a passion for him.Because we didn't have DCE, tommy turbo and manase fainu
Des is good coach, just not a great judge of a footballer unfortunately.Not sure why Des couldn’t get us playing the way Manly is for his last few seasons?
Not a handy accountant either...Des is good coach, just not a great judge of a footballer unfortunately.
It was in the 2018 off season one month after we signed him from the tigers, definitely in Pay's time.I thought he was sacked by Des
Number 1 and 2 relate to his time at Wests tigers. 3 onwards are accurate.How predictable this thread descended into a Pay bashing.
