I am disappointed that he is no longer with us. I don't think it serves me to hate him or be angry at him for anything that he has done. He played some great years at Manly and helped us win two premierships along the way, and I agree with Ryan; I think he is disappointed that things turned out this way. Sure, you could argue that a lot of it is his own doing, but he is only human, and we don't know what went on behind closed doors. I wish him all the best, and will still enjoy watching his aggressive style of play, even if it is for the Eels.
I'll say one thing out of all of this though; thank god we still have Snake!!
I had my last day at Westpac on Friday - I'm going to ANZ. Westpac gave me qualifications, and I learned so much, about so many things at the place. When I left, whilst I could have gone out complaining & hating, I didn't. Everyone I spoke to, I told how much a loved the place, and how much it did for me.
Right up until the last day, I continued putting in. But, ANZ called me, and offered me more money, and better conditions.
The State General Manager phoned me Friday night, and said, "Ryan, you will always have a home here at Westpac. If you need anything, let me know. Stay attached on Linkdin, so if any opportunities come up, we can talk".
I left because I was missed out on a role I thought I had.
I could have easily complained, been bitter and all that, but in the end, it amounts to nothing. I just really wish Choc went along the same lines. Just bit his lip. I have no doubts his comments have validity. We all know the board at Manly WERE ****house. Imagine working with them every day. What a debacle.
Anyway, that's why I think of Choc differently to the way I think about a bloke like Foran.
