First BK2, now Gift. It's a shame to see such key members of our dominant past-decade team move on to other clubs. I for one won't be able to bear seeing Gift in Souths colours, the ugliest colours in the game.

Gifty was quoted a few weeks ago as wanting to remain close to home so his young family are not disrupted. No gesture, just considerationJado said:Yes exactly, i have posted similar thoughts on Facebook Eagles pages.
Makes me wonder though, is it possibly a gesture to Manly from Gifty going to a club with no need for fullback? He would be acutely aware Brett has been quoted saying he will go too, so why did he chose a club with no room for him? He could have got good offers from Saints, dogs and raiders i believe, so it is plausible he went with Souths to encourage Brett to stay at Manly, because he doesn't want there to be a exodus or at least an exodus of Stewarts?
I haven't seen anywhere where Brett has been quoted as saying he will leave too.Jado said:EagleFromMay1967 said:Consider yourselves lucky it is the Bunnies. They dont need a fullback.
