Quote: Dave K. "Last season Manly started pre season on the 4th November, which must be similar time to us, you have to wonder how much time he will be here, surely Manly aren't going to give him 8 weeks off.
Wouldn't we be better just getting in a new S&C guy fulltime to work with the club face to face all year?'"
I agree..
Clarke only joined Manly November 2023, so I imagine Manly aren't too thrilled about this consultancy job.
Maybe Clarke will fly in alongside Cartwright, and prepare everything here before , Manlys pre season starts.
Really don't think Clarke being remote is as big of a deal than what some are making of it.
Pretty clear he has put the pre season plan together, coming over to oversee the start and then leave it in the hands of our full-time staff keeping tabs on a part-time basis.
Is, again, frustrating how we have gone about announcing this.

Sydney is +10 GMT, so FC will be training around 10pm Aus time, so he could remotely monitor the performance of the players live. Data could be sent electronically overnight with and I assume Gaz Ellis will be Head of Performance to ensure the system is implemented.
Clarke puts emphasis on types of and when nutrition is consumed see this
While its a rapdily changing world with the technology and things are now more data driven, I do think theres a practical aspect here of how does someone sat in the Manly sunshine know if the squad are following instructions correctly running up hills in the Brantingham frost?
Random example but I remember years ago Danny Ward gave an interview that a club he was playing for had started doing weekly weighins and his answer to 'losing' a couple of pounds of water weight was to have a bottle of wine the night before in that example the data would say 'weight = fine' but it woulden't tell a coach on the other side of the world that the player had potentially come in with a hangover (not that 1 bottle of wine would impact a big prop that much however)
Manly's statement reads that he will be with them for 2025 - it doesn't say he is there beyond that. So I would be happy for 2025 to be consultancy based, and full time for the remaining 2 years
