Found this little aside in an article on the Australian
In other league news, Manly backrower and Clive Churchill medallist Glenn Stewart has revealed his teammates reaffirmed their commitment to new coach Geoff Toovey at their first training session yesterday.
Stewart is one of several players who have been tipped to depart the Sea Eagles in protest at the decision to sack Des Hasler. Hasler signed with Canterbury for the 2013 season but was dumped after the club said he was luring football staff and players to the Bulldogs.
"All of the boys have come back this week and we had a chat just before, and everyone is 100 per cent behind 'Tooves'," Stewart told the club's website.
"I was actually coached under Tooves a few years ago in reserve grade and he definitely knows what he's on about. They say change is as good as a holiday, so I'll be looking forward to what Tooves brings to the team."
Stewart said he also believed the Sea Eagles were capable of becoming the first NRL club to defend its premiership.
