I cannot believe some of the Eels recruitment purchase. Hodgson is over the hill and is obviously causing lack of harmony by his style. Doorey has previous injuries that were bound to happen as is Hodgson. Murchie is average, Makaslower is average, Blake is below average, Simonsen is below average, Skidrow (Sivo) is average, Matto loves his money and the only decent purchase has been Hopgood. To much reliance on RCG and Paulo combined with extremely poor recruitment. They have to stop watching 'Moneyball' and purchase some decent players or the Eels will be waiting another 36 years for a premiership.

Because Flannagan would have demanded more $$ due to his success and expertise whereas Siebold was cheaper. Better to get cheaper 1 plus cheaper Flannagan as an assistant. Two in bush better than 1 in the hand. Siebold is a dud. It's Flannagan that's really the brains behind Manly's better performance not Siebored
DolphinFlip you have some reading comprehension issues besides of course being a 2 sided supporter sitting on the fence. Perhaps do yourself a favour and read what I wrote very slowly perhaps even audible or maybe have Da Pebble ( aka rock) read it you
Flanagan can never be trusted to be a head coach, he cheated, he lied, he destroyed club financials by losing sponsers , he took the sharks to the brink of bankruptcy. He destroyed young lives with the use of performance enhancing drugs and got caught. He destroyed the careers of multiple people in management, and tainted the cronulla players with being drug cheats for life. Nah head coach is a pipe dream.
No responsible Board could ever allow Flanagan free rein in charge again. He requires constant oversight, the alternative is just just too much risk for a responsible board to undertake.
Flannagan didn't cheat can you actually prove he cheated? Were you there when he supposedly did what you suggest? Do you have photo evidence
What an odd thing to say PT.
Your Avatar "Paratrooper with the logo" pays homage to an elite group of fighting men that hold honour and truth in high regard. I would have thought that you chose that avatar for a reason.
Dosnt what Flanagan did to so many people with total disregard get in your craw. It does mine.
As far as having proof I have the internet that has access to all the findings against Flanagan delivered by investigators. The offical public records and reports of his misdeeds, the public interviews by players outraged, the self reporting letter by CEO Barry Russell outlining the systemic cheating that was undertook. The public ASADA findings against Flanagan and the drugs regime, and his subsequent 12 months ban. Further the admission of CEO Keogh and his resignation there after Flanagahn lied and cheated about running the football dept whilst suspended. The over 500 emails given to NRL investigators by CEO Barry Russell, written by Flanagahan detailing his cheating exploits . The numerous Sponsers that left in droves leaving the grand total of 0 sponsers for the club. Is that the type of proof your demanding, its all easy to find, but I suspect you dont really want me to cut and paste it here, as it dosnt further your cause. Fair enough I guess.
So you obviously believe everything that other people tell you about Flannagan? That's odd. If what Flannagan did ( which I highly doubt) he would never ever have been allowed near a football stadium let alone assistant coach at Manly. My avatar or my reasons for choosing my avatar has absolutely nothing to do with Flannagan or this topic. It's just your attempt to 'side track' / 'divert' the real truth about Flanagan. Nice try Sherlock. Strange how they never took the premiership title off the Sharks considering all this supposed terrible misdeeds by Flannagan as they did the Melbourne Storm. Doesn't that make you wonder if all the allegations were true.
Seriously Brissy. Asking for a fellow contributor to be banned a week after your return.
This site was peaceful without you on here the last few months then you return with your blinkers still seen on - seems to me we all know who the trouble maker is and it ain't Trooper.
Bingo!
Mate not condoning anyone's comments but facts are that since you returned this site has seen a marked increase in arguments.
Ask anyone including some of most straight up and down contributors like Mutts, HOE or NOS.
You love drama and it follows you mate.
Like I said much of the off season saw no dust ups or calls for banning - you're a back a week and here you are calling for another member to be banned.
I'm on here everyday and only saw people getting banned or called out for posting on politically sensitive topics and I saw one blog deleted for calling you out - that's fair enough.
But overall the drama markedly dropped off in your absence. I agree the sites traffic dropped off so that's the reason youve been accepted back - I can only assume that you're arguments increase the sites traffic which the mods and owners like
