Watched the highlights from when they beat us 66 nil far out did we have some rabble in that team Manly tore our right edge to shreds ,every time TT put himself in the line they scored!
I’ll never watch that game again, 5 top tier players out because of Covid breaches and replaced with reserve grade players that weren’t ready .. as if the team wasn’t inexperienced enough all ready & coached by Barrett ‍♂..

It shits me how proud Manly fans are of that win.

I have a bunch of friends and family that are Manly fans who were constantly ringing me throughout that game and telling me to get my ass down the pub and watch it with them .. I’d of preferred to sit and listen to @Flanagun personally read me every thread and every comment he’s ever written on TK before walking into that pub that day ..

Fuck I’d love Saturday to be my revenge …

I got a bunch of manly fans who are friends of mine that enjoyed that win way too much all things considered.

It's one thing to enjoy smashing another team.
It's another when the opposition is on its knees as we were that game.

Much like when the Dragons flogged us immediately after sbw walked out on us.

We were massively depleted and struggling and a shadow of our former self and the Dragons fans I knew took delight in rubbing my nose in it.

I was always respectful when rolls reversed
Not anymore.
Enjoy the wins and rue the losses
I'm a bad winner now
When we win I now take delight in rubbing opposition fans noses in it.

Was bullish pre trial and the two key injuries so now I think we're going to get rolled.

Yeah they removed it and reuploaded it. Weird they asked Burto about that old TV set and he said he didn't know what they were talking about.


I know aye. What’s the go with him denying the old TV? Haha that was weird because it was said with certainty by @KLil and possibly others. They said they’d actually seen it. Strange if it’s meant to be a secret or whatever.

I generally try to cut you some slack by keeping it simple when replying to your comments.

But I have to say, the way you twist the narrative to suit your agenda is politician like, you really should go into politics because you’d definitely keep up with the best of those BS artists.

Example ..

You mention young Flano was coached by Morris, but conveniently leave out that he would have received a lot of coaching over the years from his premiership winning father. You go on to say he was highly regarded at Cronulla but again conveniently leave out the part where they let him walk, and not for an overly ridiculous amount of money, do you think Panthers would have allowed young Cleary when he was just highly regarded to head off to an opposition club?

You say Fitzgibbon was really the brains at the Roosters, not Robinson who is the B2B premiership winning coach. If that’s the case and Flano is as good as you say, why was Fitzgibbon developing another player and not him, or even both, was it also reported that young Flano was receiving specialised training from Cronk?

So, he’s been coached by ..

His premiership winning father.
Morris
Fitzgibbon
Cronk
B2B premiership winner Robinson
Barrett
And now Ciraldo

I think the facts speak for themselves, he’s had very good coaching …

If Fitzgibbon was the real brains behind B2B premiership winning coach Robinson as you say, why then is it such a stretch for you to believe that Ciraldo might have been the real brains behind Cleary’s B2B premierships ….

Instead, you death ride our new coach calling him Barrett 2.0, you death ride most of the players in our team when really the facts are you have absolutely zero idea whether they’ll fail or succeed, you don’t know that Perham is just a reserve grader, if you are forming that opinion on a couple of trial games then you truely have no idea, maybe give the kid 10 games then start judging, when Ciraldo has the team he wants he could win us B2B premierships, who knows, when Gus sacked Cleary after just avoiding the spoon at Penrith in 2015 would you have believed he’d be back there and win B2B premierships?

You are entitled to your speculating and opinions … but the truth is you really have no idea, neither do any of us, but at least most of us here back those in charge that really know the game and what they’re doing.

Personally I wish instead of seeking attention by creating threads & championing a few of the lesser talented players on here, you’d spend more time backing the club coach and the whole team.

By the way, I meant it, get yourself into politics because mate you can spin it with the best of them …
I reckon it started off by creating a profile to support the player which is fine and dandy but recent posts are really giving negative vibes, trolling overboard, being critical of players and coaches yet to prove themselves.

If Flanagun was an imposter, someone trolling the kennel to create disunity and toxicity, I wouldn't be surprised. Like I said, probably started off in good humour but it's backflipped, stirs people up, probably makes people angry at the player more when misconstrued facts are stated to backup Flanaguns claims. Best thing to do, just don't bother, the odd post from Flanagun was funny but I dont bother reading them nor the replies too so I don't get attached.
Young Kyle Flanagan can do a job, if he doesn't after a reasonable period, leave it to the coaches and management.

I honestly can't see our forward pack lasting the 80.

Close game until the 50min. Then Manly to go 13+

It's a long season guys, so no matter the outcome we shouldn't make any judgments about the players, team, or coach till at least round 5-6...
(Of course, this simple mature fact means nothing to the shit for brain death riders in the kennel)
