The absolute fear and joy Manly fans must have with Tommy Turbo. One of the best runners of the ball of the last 20 years but looks hurt almost every game.
Did Ivan look at the players leaving Penrith over the seasons and spend too much time thinking "She'll be right!"?
Or was what made Ivan actually the triumvirate of Ivan/Andrew/Cameron and the pathways covered two seasons of them being gone but if anything else happened....
Outside of fucking up and picking may over critta. I'm not to sure what ivan could of done outside of the storm double book special when it comes to keeping there players.
Winning the premiership once is difficult. Consecutively four times is an achievement anyone would be proud of. To have the wheels wobble and fall off is inevitable.
They still have a good spine. But Mcleans are not the answer, short 1-2 props and Yeo is less effective without those props. Papalii is a 13 so getting less impact.
I don't think they are Ivan tigers territory but it's not great. Last week showed they still have potential.
The McLean's are not spine players bro? Is that what you mean? - Or as players in general? If so - Casey is only 19. He definitely will be the answer one day. He still has his training wheels on
Man the pressures of being a coach eh,
Perfectionism at its best even if he wins or loses two or three spoons in a row he's still an amazing modern day coach.
