Take a positive outlook - if Foran leaves we may keep TRex, If TRex leaves we could keep Snake and Foran it will sort itself out.
We have young stars coming through who deserve a shot, Buhrer is a starter through and through and loves the club. Lussick could be 'anything'.
Lets enjoy the fact that they are all here this year and we have the best shot since the cheats (who still couldn't pull it off) of going back to back.
The whole episode with Hasler has made everyone here hyper-sensitive to more sea-eagles leaving the club - but this is a two way street - every telegraph and foxsports and grillteam commentator knows that we are hypersensitive to these reports and that they will be re-posted or re-tweeted and earn them more hits and therefore more revenue, when we bite.
This is a tough year to have a team of champions as well as a champion team because everyone else thinks a big payday is on the horizon and throwing overs that aren't guaranteed at our players thinking that each of them will make their new team Manly. They won't.
This is a great team built by an excellent coach who left it to one that would have found a first grade gig a couple of years ago if he wasn't so loyal. We have a champion in charge - a champion team and the best fans, best home ground, best location and what seems like a bloody good COO.
Enjoy it - you have been implored by so many on this site but don't bite the bait.
If some of our players are poached then that's life - they got to win a premiership with us and at least weren't stolen like JWH and Tasi before they got to experience the growth that this club continually nurtures in our young stars.
Go Manly - The Premiers!
Amen brother.
Great post. totally agree wih everything you said.
