It makes complete sense to me.
Maybe Brett Stewart and the club know he is on his last legs. Maybe the plan all along was for him to stay around and mentor blokes like Hiku and Gutherson and bow out gracefully when one of them matured.
To me Gutherson is not up to it. He's an old style fullback but he's no ball player. Maybe they agree.
If talk of Hiku to the dogs on big money is correct then alarm bells would have been ringing at Manly HQ. Going by Toovs response to Hasler making an offer to Hiku i'd say there's a fair bit in it.
