Shane Shackleton was this week denied an immediate release to join the Manly Sea Eagles, who were poised to snap up the out-of-favour Parramatta Eels prop on a second-tier contract. Shackleton – who represented City last year – has made just one NRL appearance in 2012.
The 29-year-old’s demise coincided with an extraordinary social media attack on Stephen Kearney, in which he called the Parramatta coach a “f*&^wit†on Facebook.
Shackleton has been stranded with NSW Cup feeder side Wentworthville ever since, but has performed strongly and collected two players‘ player awards in recent weeks. Off-contract and fearing his cards were marked with Kearney, Shackleton pleaded for a chance to showcase his NRL wares at another club.
But at a meeting earlier this week, the coach maintained there were no hard feelings and promised Shackleton every chance of a first grade recall.
