Can I suggest something to those using this, or any other forum. Talking to your mates down the pub and saying disparaging things about someone is unlikely to get you into trouble because generally speaking anyone taking you to court over disparaging or threatening comments is only likely to...- Bearfax

If that comment is directed a me, all I can say is you that maybe you aren't reading what I say. In one of my discussions with LC just very recently I apologised. In a later one I indicated I could be wrong. I stated clearly that I challenge what I see as unsubstantiated claims. All I'm trying...- Bearfax

Most amusing Wombat. Remind me to put a tariff on your entries.- Bearfax

Actually LC I asked for the apology as a bit of humour. Don't misunderstand me. These days little fazes. When I was young ...yes I was a emotional lad. Insecure, lacking in confidence. I guess I learned. These days I do things on this site primarily to challenge perceptions. Not saying I'm...- Bearfax

You're right LC. They are assumptions but they are based on probable outcomes. You're right in some areas I should not have been so definitive. I apologise. However my points are based on elements we've all seen and are evidenced by what we know of DCE. A few points though. Please don't...- Bearfax

I understand there is much feeling about this matter and the DCE issue in general, though for varying reasons and not just because of the interview. I reiterate though that your suggested comment may well be said at a later date, but probably in a formalised manner as is consistent with his...- Bearfax

Seems I've opened a can of worms here. Let me say this. Most of what I'm reading is emotionally based. Some don't like him, some didn't want him playing for Manly, now some are angry that he's leaving or that he didn't say the right things to soften the blow. I'm sad that he is going also. I...- Bearfax

And you know exactly what transpired do you LC. This is his life, not ours You're assuming based on limited information and one of the most important lessons I learned in my job over 34 years was NEVER make assumptions based on limited information because much of the time you will be wrong or...- Bearfax

No it didn't SE8 because he never said he hated Manly. Thing is we have no serious idea what motivated his decision as I said. Its all just conjecture. As I said he's a business man who has been contracted for a job. He's done that admirably in my opinion. He has absolutely no obligation to stay...- Bearfax

But has he handled this improperly or is that just how you see it. He came out and announced to everyone his intent. Didn't try to hide it. Let everyone know his intent clearly. I would suspect he will most likely at some stage later thank the club and supporters for his involvement in the team...- Bearfax

Maybe more. He was the No 2 half at that time in the game, and Thurston was nearing retirement. Who's to say the Titans wouldn't have counter offered if given the chance. Like most lower ranked clubs, they desperately wanted a high profile player in their ranks to entice others to sign with...- Bearfax

Assuming he wouldn't be receiving a very healthy wage is not well backed up. He endtered a 4 year contract with the Titans for a million a year in 2015. Cronulla, I understand were making an offer not much less. Foran got a million a year joining Parra and the original amount was supposedly...- Bearfax

I'm willing to do that and often do when I see the point being argued with sufficient evidence (if you look LC), if others concede that perhaps I have a good point. Works both ways. I will always concede to another point of view if backed up with good proof of that position, otherwise its all...- Bearfax

Not sure how that relates to DCE. Are you suggesting Manly didn't win the premiership because of DCE- Bearfax

What do you expect? Fulton was our Captain in 1976 and left for Easts and bigger money the next year. I dont recall apologies to the fans. Movement of top players happens all the time. I dont get the difference. He's declared he's leaving. He's done it a year ahead so another player can be...- Bearfax
