Poor old Joe, who portrays himself as a good honest christian, but looks like a money hungry grub. He's been on a 350k contract for the past few seasons when he was at souths and prepared to play for their feeder club because he couldn't crack 1st grade. Now he's baulking at the Manly contract because he has to travel to Manly from the west or stay at crusher's place. All too hard for Joe and with that attitude I hope he stays at the Eels.
Let's look for a younger replacement who would be happy to play for 125k per season.
You cant fault a guy for putting his family first

I get sick of this stuff Dan, how many posters here earn over 100k per year? I don't blame players for going for the best deal but if they don't put in after signing the contract then I have my reservations.
As you said let's pull the contract off the table as I believe Joe hasn't got the right attitude to put on a Manly jumper.
BTW Dan if he was putting his family first why is he baulking at it. He'll probably be offered less to stay at the Eels.

If he loses say 25k it would be worth it, its going to cost him crap load to uproot his faliy, and if he doesnt he doesnt spend as much time with them
I am not saying that he has done the right thing, but we can not on the one hand congratulate Lyon for being a family man and criticize someone else for doing the same

Well, if his has a problem tell the club. As far as I know he didn't show for the signing or let the club know. If that's true then faaark him.

I agree stuff him, i have said that several times, he should have at least called and let someone know, but you cant fault him for wanting to be nearer his family
