Or perhaps we had to release Paseka to make way for the immediate signing of Johnathan Thurston.

Why bother re-signing him last year then? I don't see what we would gain by releasing him.

Could be? We've landed a couple of mid-late off season signings last year.

We would have to be signing someone pretty bloody good for this to make any sense. Either one of Manly's very best juniors (a backrower perhaps) or a current NRL player not getting a shot at another club.
It's like anytime clubs come and ask us about our juniors:
"Hey this kid goes pretty good, can we have him for free?"
WT: "Sure, no problem".
"Really? That's awesome, you're a legend mate! I'll send you a fruit basket to say thanks!"
WT:" That's very generous of you. Pleasure doing business"

They make it really hard to support this team at times. They really do. When he plays rep football we can all reflect on the broken down hack we signed to replace him. He's 18 and massive. I don't understand the sense in releasing him if he was under contract. I'm just sick of the club hyping guys when they sign or re-sign only to release them months later. I don't understand why management feels they're running some sort of rugby league benevolent fund. Nice guys do finish last in this case.

Depends how much we had left over from Simona.
Or are we **still(!)** over the cap?

Don't you reckon before you boil over, if Paseka is indeed gone, wait until the club makes a formal statement and explains themselves?
People are getting agitated that he might be gone, but they have zero idea what the justification may be. There has to be a justification, not necessarily one that satisfies all comers, but there is a reason if he's gone.

Id love to know it but often we dont hear the actual reasoning, particuarly in not so good news stories
But this is half the problem. There is no information, no interaction with members or fans. We're left to deal in rumour and conjecture.

Yep, and what minimal say members had in the past (3 year plus Magpies & Balmain FC) has now evaporated with WA running the show…slighly OT apologies
@ said:
Agree - seems odd on the surface but more than happy to wait and see.
That said, I can understand the frustration some are expressing; whilst we've been struggling on the field for the last several years, the club trumpets these kids as the next big thing a lot of the time, so it's a tad annoying to see them leave for nothing (or stay and not fulfil their potential).
