The Eels are a club, run by a board of directors,they're answerable to the members, unfortunately the Sea Eagles are privately owned answerable to no one.I know Eels fans are just naturally more feral than ours, but at least they have the back bone to back themselves, face their club, and demand answers when **** was down.
Just more passionate than all of us I guess?
Not us passive, do nothing, complain behind the PC Sea Eagles fans.
I spent so much work getting that damned petition for the upgrade of Brooky. How about someone lead this? I want answers from Penn & Fulton, and they need to justify themselves to the businesses customers who they are alienating..
Awesome actor.
Id say that would be the case. 2 for the price of one sort of deal. Will make room for another solid signing. I can see Hopoate or lane filling Buhrers spot quite effectively to be honest. Also if the DWZ rumour comes to fruition we could have a pretty damn good replacement for Lyon. The fact we have some good young blokes knocking at the door for first grade selection is a good sign and releasing a few guys to focus on more important positions while giving these young forwards a shot could be strategically a good plan for the rebuild. Buhrer was always a solid worker but never really struck me as a superstar.Mabye ferris got offered heaps of money and knights are paying for uate.![]()

If you concede there may be a logical explanation, then in what sense is it madness?At least there might be some logic behind the madness
Is $700k/season what Drugcastle got him for? Jeebus! Probably overs, but I'd be willing to bet we wouldn't have had to *quite* match that sort of coin. I'm guessing we lowballed him and he's effectively gotten an offer he can't refuse: and good on him. NRL players have a limited amount of time in which to earn big coin and he deserves it. Hopefully he comes back one day, as he's a good player and a Manly boy to the bone.I think this would be pretty much what happened.
Buhrer is great but he's not worth $700k a season, and getting Uate cheap is a pretty good outcome. With any luck Buhrer will have a couple of quiet seasons at the Knights then come back to us cheap.
On facebook manly fans are not happy.
I really hope the club releases justification behind this decision. I think we deserve that.

A cardboard cutout offers more the Brown.That's a bit disappointing, Ferris has always been a goer, on current form he is offering more than Brown. I'd handle him being traded if we are upgrading his spot....but Uate ??? Do we really need a non versatile winger at the moment ?? I'd prefer we were looking for a winger/fullback to offer some coverage for TT.
Well all the best to Jamie, hopefully he has managed to get a bit of an upgraded contract. Good luck to him.
Gus said on Sunday footy a couple of weeks ago they have no plans anymore for Moylan to 5/8, they plan a future with Te Marie Martin and Nathan Cleary, what we can offer him if centre panthers can't offer him that and they can't afford him.DWZ won't come to Manly. He wants to play fullback, and will get that gig at Penrith when they shift Moylan to the 6.
The MWSE facebook post regarding Buhrer & Uate is being absolutely peppered with criticism. 1400 posts in 2 hours and almost every single one of them seems pissed off.
