I understand this, of course, but Cuthbo leaving upsets me way more than Mayer going. As nita said in another thread, he's a Manly boy through and through - just the kind of local talent I'd love to see us keeping.
I still think he's a hugely talented player, and before he got injured this season he was one of our best - one of the only forwards showing any ticker in a badly beaten side, really. And I've always loved watching big lugs like Cuthbo who can split the line and throw a lovely pass. Not enough of it in footy these days.
Good luck at the Sharks, Cuthbo.
