From my persepective, keeping in my I have no idea what has gone on behind the scenes, I find the both of them turning their back on the club and going to the bloody bulldogs unforgivable. I know our back office is no doubt the cause of this, however these two have had such a long association with the club surely it would be impossible to leave for another rival. I could never support another club.
I thank them for everything they have done, it can never be underestimated or forgotten. But at the end of the day Hasler always promoted an US vs THEM attitude, well now Hasler and Cleal have jumped out of our trenches and joined THEM. It is such a shame, because after all the great things they did for Manly, this is how they leave the club.
Say what you will about Zorba, at least when he got shafted by the club he stuck with us and fought to get back in some capacity (on the board). That is true loyalty.
