Manly are desperate for forwards. If they want him, it’s got to cost them something. Otherwise he stays in Ron Massey Cup.
Won’t happen we are snowflakes
If it doesn’t then we (the fans) have every right to be furious. I take Cochise’s point, that long term we need to pressure the NRL to tighten the rules to prevent further occurrences. But, in the short term we have to get something out of Manly.
I’m also at a loss as to why the media aren’t talking about the fact he’s been induced to try to break his contract, just like it wasn’t mentioned with the previous players that have pulled this rubbish. There are currently rules around inducement to break contract, yet it barely rates a mention.
I keep going back to Jai Arrow last year South's were desperate to get him and the Titans wouldn't budge. I support the club on most things but I don't see any benefit to us in Manly getting him now. Beyond disappointed in this decision. If you are going to talk the talk
I agree 200% but think of it this way, it gives an opportunity to the likes of Steff>>Kei, etc which I for one cant wait to see these kids in action. If it was me I wouldn't let him go until he formally apologized in front of the playing group
I was all for getting rid of Matterson when he spat it last year but can't cop his mate doing the same now. What ever damage it may of caused by forcing him to fulfill his contract I still believe would have be worth it in regard to the message sent to the rest of his mates in the playing group - and their parasite managers.
And if we miss the 8 because of another $350k in reserve grade?
Your assuming he would play reserve grade Im not.
That is what the majority want.
And two weeks ago the "majority" wanted JA as future captain. Things have a habit of changing quickly when referring to the majority.
I want him as far away from the rest of the squad as possible, don't need him in the other players ears each day. I don't want someone playing 1st grade for us who had no desire to be here.
And I didn't want Matterson anywhere near our club last year either - fast forward 12months later.
Keeping him here want stop future players pulling the same stunt, changing the rules will. Matterson was garbage this year, we made the right choice.
I wouldnt say Matterson was"garbage" but there is no doubt he didnt play as well as he did with us.WT certainly made the right choice in letting him go
