I love Manly………always have and always will……..!
And no one player is bigger than the club and gee am I pretty unimpressed with Choc at present.
I don’t want to see an arrogant poor me attitude creeping in and this sense of entitlement.
Choc, Matai and Gift have been very well looked after by Manly, for many, many years. Where would they all be without Manly, would they have any premierships or have enjoyed as much on field success?
Manly the club which also incorporates the fans have all created the incredible winning culture, not just one or two players alone. It goes both ways boys and as for any Manly players taking any pay cuts as such, I really don’t know about that. Just look at how much money Gift is on this year (and how many games has he actually played for us this year anyway) and Choc apparently $900,000 for next year. Would Choc take $450,000 to keep Gifty next year, speculation on my behalf but Choc seriously mate, pull your head in? What employee bites the hand that feeds them, I certainly never learnt this in the being a good employee hand book? And Matai what is going on there? He is on a contract until the end of 2015. (Did he not also sign that very same contract and agree to the terms and pay?) The NRL need to stamp this contract breaking BS out and no other team should approach any player’s manager or player until a very maximum of 6 months before the contract ends.
I am very passionate about Manly and I just can’t believe some of the rubbish that is being dished out by media and some of our own players and ex player. Brent Kite has also put in his two cents worth. This article among others (link below) is just ridiculous. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/brent-kite-fears-manly-dynasty-may-unravel-20140716-zti7v.
I don’t want any players to threaten the board or us the fans indirectly if they can’t get their own way. That is just ludicrous.
I am also dirty on that dog Des, what did he do with all those back ended contracts? Could he see it coming and got out in time?
Anyway, stay if you want to, but if you don’t please leave….! Wearing the Manly jersey is an honour and should be viewed as such by all players given the opportunity to put one on. Be proud being a Mighty Sea Eagle, play hard, give your all and focus on trying to get us yet another premiership boys.
That is all……...!!!!
