Must have missed you buddy...
Season over for Manningham(But the dream lives on in the 2s!).
Very disappointing season. From what i hear it's been a battle to get guys on the track starting from pre-season. Every team goes through the injuries and unavailabilities, but it sounds as if the culture of committing to a season - training and all - is still an issue at MC?Season over for Manningham
Have to laugh.Hey TT read an article in the local about all the injuries you have to your top line players. Poor old Ian "Excuses" Denny cant take a trick. Same thing happened at the last club he coached..... Injury after injury after injury. Guess some coaches are just plain unlucky, although I do recall that he usually managed to pull together a near full strength squad when he played the bottom teams
Not sure what my team has to do with it. I was just stating a fact. Ian is a very unlucky coach and injuries seem to be the major reason.
A quick google search will back up my comments
First it happened in 2011

St Albans coach Ian Denny acknowledged his side was struggling, pointing to an overcrowded casualty room as pivotal in the Saints' downfall.
"Injuries to key personnel is starting to take its toll I think," he said.
St Albans has been hit hard by late-season injuries, Denny revealing the match committee was forced to make 10 changes to its senior side that beat Spotswood.
Then again in 2012

Denny's side was eliminated in the first week of finals last season, but after a 0-3 start to the season they face an uphill battle to qualify for the top five.
"We've struggled to cover injuries and unavailabilities, I suppose," Denny said.
"It's just been a bit disappointing. In all honesty, I think our confidence is down and it's probably knocked us around a bit, so we need to try and find a way to get back.
"We've got a handful out at the minute, and they're pretty important to us.
"We get a few back this week, so it might improve us a little bit."
And this season he has managed to steer P Cook to 9 and 2 despite an unlucky run with injury
“We’ve got five games to go, so, hopefully, we’ll get a few players back from injury over the next two or three weeks,” he said.
“We’ll work hard over the next three weeks and get a bit of an understanding of who is going to be in our team.
“We’ll play our best team in the lead-up to the finals to try to finalise things.”

If he could somehow avoid the injuries he would be an absolute super coach!!
Anyway I will be back of to the WRFL threads now
