The last 6 weeks of the year Buhrer was in outstanding form, easily Manly's best forward as Jake Trbojevic was playing injured or off his game, by no means a loser of a signing, he would walk in to our backrow.
Why did they let him go…?
Beats me mate, he was in good form, maybe he was on a back loaded deal or something.
Yeah I agree with 851, he was in very good form. That's partly why Manly fans are up in arms over this trade.
I can only speculate over why they let him go, but that's never stopped me before:
- He got a good offer from Newcastle and they didn't want to stand in his way.
- His contract negotiations in 2014 helped push Glenn Stewart out the door and there are still Manly officials and power brokers that are angry over that (and they are petty and vengeful).
- Barrett is a moron.
They must have a 2nd row signing in the pipeline because they look really thin there with Buhrer gone…or maybe they are signing Sirro and want to slot him straight into first grade.
