WE hear that Manly coach Geoff Toovey and unsettled back-rower Anthony Watmough met last week.
Watmough is still seeking an early release to join Parramatta.
Although a lightweight retention committee at Manly has approved Watmough's premature departure, Toovey has other thoughts.
"'Tooves' doesn't want 'Choc' going anywhere, despite what others at the club may want," said our club insider.
"Watmough is Manly's best forward. Who lets their best forward walk out when still under contract?
"Let's see how tough Toovey can be - or will he buckle under pressure from internal forces at the club?"
