Then why don't the players just ask the player Representative on the Board, what is going on if that's all they are after. After all, he did play with most of them and is the acting Chairman ATM. You can't convince me that some senior players don't believe they deserve input into who their new...

We'll have to agree to disagree about how gentlemanly it used to be played, what did the old hookers say...if it's round kick it, and if it has hair on it, kick it harder..... In regards to the sidelines, they were much less aggressive than these days no doubt. As for joining in, it was unheard...

They should be told that there are 3 or 4 on the shortlist or however many there are. and the expected time frame in which a decision will be made. They should also be aware who is in charge in the interim, by all means give them input in this interim period.

Absolutely not, he was parachuted in from Manly having never met any of them. but the point is that Foley would NEVER have taken the punt on someone like him. He would have been more likely to get Matt Burke to make a comeback, or a 30 yo from the Shute Shield. As is evidenced from the lack of...

Come on Hugh, it appears to me that we are about the same age. There is no problem. There was a lot more thuggery on the field ''back in the day'' than we see today. Jeez whenever you hear the grandad's telling footy stories, it's all about the biff, and not clever in and aways to beat the...

I think the fact that he had no personal relationships with senior players, meant there were no sacred cows.Everyone knew that they had to compete for their positions. Competition for spots is always healthy in a Club.

Foley..debuted last year after captaining Oz 7's Kingston. yep pay that Paddy Ryan how many minutes did he play all season? Lopeti Timani,,yep pay that Sitaleki Timani first debuted in Super footy in 2008, 5 years ago Kane Douglas debuted for the tahs in 2010, this is his 3rd year Grayson Hart...

I Know some guys get $15k, I think that is the max, but not sure.

My bad, can't read. I was referring to what some academy members are paid.

$15k

IS,Do you have a release date for your memoirs yet?

Every interview in the last 8 straight losses, he would say with conviction that they played well and there were plenty of positives.He always had a cunning plan. Join me for the ride....think Thelma and Louise.

TBH, Everything you are hoping for next season are the very things that Foley demonstrated he is incapable of delivering. Investment in young blokes.......ahhhh it's actually the reverse. he much prefers a journeyman that has played this level, over a young untested prospect. The footy we've...

If Ted just asked what is the protocol for looking at games like this. What was the point in poring over a video of the game frame by frame to identify any decisions that were unfavourable? It defies logic that he spent a week or whatever, with no intention to do anything with it. I'll go with...

You can't single out Mumm. Which of the coaching staff were successful? What part of the Tahs game improved? Even the kicking coach had shit results. They may succeed elsewhere, but the current playing roster have proven they don't respond well to these guys. Send them all on gardening leave.

If it is the Tahs, then his position is untenable.

It's the Manly Daily, hardly a journalistic benchmark. I'm surprised they didn't claim any player who has had a beer at the Steyne, or a feed at Ribs and Rumps. Just another page filler,which is a bit more interesting than a profile on an emerging 14 yo superstar who scored 2 goals in the local...

Great post, makes sense to me.

Why name anyone until you have filled your squad?

So Foley had no input? Or he had input and made a decision before meeting all the squad? I feel so sorry for you guys, you have no idea about the world of pain that is about to be inflicted upon you for the next 4 years. (This is by no means a criticism of Hodgo or his suitability, just the...
