Worst team of the entire tournament IMO. This tells me they only care about the NRL premiership, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Agree with you Bones, as I said when the team was selected bar a few of the backs, the others I would not have picked. I know some of their top 1st grade players are injured. But I would have then picked My next fasted and fittest players at the club, including some speedsters in the 20s. Its basically a game for your Fit, fast Outside Backs so you don't put your typical average running Props in there unless you were Lawrence who is both fit and has pace.
Manly who are struggling financially, were not interested in the extra $$$$ which could help towards players contracts etc. It looked like they just wanted to give players a Fun Run, Disappointing !
You keep stating that Manly are struggling financially. :dodgy:
Just how do you know this?
Have you been privileged to have been given the opportunity to examine their books to see their financial situation first hand or are you just going by what the media have mostly said in the past?
If it is the latter then it is all hearsay and if you have not examined their books then you have no physical proof of the matter that they are struggling financially and you are just furthering a whole lot of misinformation which you have no right to be spreading around for the media to feed off.
The last media report that I read about regarding Manly's financial situation stated that they had made a profit last year.
