Amid the tremendous disappointment of hearing of Glenn's move, let's remember one thing. Manly sticks solid. I'm not talking about the legendary board ructions, I'm talking about the culture of the playing group, which is a reflection of long-standing values in this outstanding club.
Despite some Henny Penny panic expressed on these boards tonight, I'm confident the players are not blaming each other for Glenn's forced exit, and I doubt they are blaming our administrators either. It is obvious the club would have loved to keep Glenn.
The blame lies squarely at the feet of the NRL. The recent spate of public comment by our players was obviously aimed at applying pressure on the NRL to change the rule. It didn't work.
The culture that Glenn has been such a key part of demands that the team will stay solid, and the club will continue to succeed. The best way for us to react is to savour the remaining performances of our great champ, and cheer the team on even more than before. The NRL can't stop us that easily.
We all said Don't Go Glenn.
But we won't stop saying Go Manly
