I see @andrew disagrees and that is your prerogative feathered friend
Lets Look at the Fogarty Contract Resolution at the Raiders
Both Players wanted more money
Looks nothing like the one that was handled at Manly by Mestrov .

Hi Bozo, I think you have a genuine love for Manly and the desire to see us as the number1 NRL team. My disagreement isn't about Mestrov directly (and please don't take this personally), it's about the delivery of your opinion. It's kind of hard to digest your opinion when it feels like you are using said opinion to throw quick jabs at certain people in the club.

In closing, I just want to add that I knew Brad Parker wasn't a gifted player, but I enjoyed watching a local having a dig, and brother, you tore him down to.

**** off Mal, who cares what you think

 

[Budgie]

What I love most about DCE more than Tooves & Des is all the winning field goal to win games for us also he can kick goals, don't think I've ever seen Des & Tooves kick one can't remember.

Tooves and Des didn't need the field goals because they directed the team around the park well enough that there was no such desperation to get the win

 

[Chunkytuna]

If he is, who would blame him for departuring. Double what Mestrov offered him, and that was with long service allowance.

Don’t think many are blaming him for leaving for more money, it’s how he’s gone about it.

 

[Chunkytuna]

We've done pretty well with our veterans. Physio team have been able to keep TKO, Brown, and DCE all playing quite consistently at 33, 32 and 36.

We also hold a record for the oldest halves combo in history, of Des and Cliffy.

If any team is best suited to keep Fogarty around for that long, it's us. We certainly understand how to keep DCE injury free, we can apply those lessons to the younger Fogarty.

For the third year, he is on less money anyway, and they'll likely blood in Walsh that year.

I think genetics might have some say in it. We haven’t managed to keep Turbo on the field very much unfortunately.

100%

If he’s going to the Roosters for a bigger deal good luck to him, we are minnows compared to what they can probably offer.

BUT

Don’t be a dick about it.

Which is what has got most of the anti members offside

‘The club made a business decision and so did I’: Jamal Fogarty reveals how negotiations with the Raiders collapsed​

Manly-bound Jamal Fogarty has revealed intimate details of how negotiations with Canberra collapsed, while addressing speculation of a feud with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.

Jamal Fogarty has set the record straight on his contract breakdown with Canberra and addressed speculation of a feud with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
Fogarty has broken his silence on his decision to quit the Raiders, admitting he is “gutted” as he prepares to lead a new era at Manly as Daly Cherry-Evans’ halfback successor.

In his first interview since signing a $2.1 million deal with the Sea Eagles, Fogarty goes into Sunday’s Magic Round blockbuster against the Storm with the hot hand after his superb match-winning performance to inspire Canberra’s 40-28 comeback win against the Dolphins.

But rather than finish his career in the nation’s capital, Fogarty is headed for Sydney’s northern beaches after knocking back a two-year Canberra extension to ink a three-year contract with Manly.

Fogarty faced giving up around $1 million by remaining at the Raiders and backed himself to fire at Manly amid concerns from Canberra legend Mal Meninga over his move to Brookvale.

“I’m pretty gutted to be leaving,” Fogarty said after inking a deal with Manly worth around $700,000 a season.

“I’ve got great relationships with coaches and players here and we (wife Kahlia and their children) love how slow and laid back it is in Canberra.

“I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity that Manly have given me for the next three years.

“It’s great the deal is all sorted and we can move on with our season.

“Manly can wait until 2026. I’m completely focused and committed on the Raiders and the great start to the season we’ve had as a team.”

The Fogarty contract firestorm took a dramatic turn last week when Raiders coach Stuart blasted his management as Canberra fought to keep their first-choice No.7.

Fogarty is on an estimated $650,000 this season and while the Raiders had an option they could have activated before round 6, the Green Machine opted against taking up the 12-month extension.

The Raiders instead tried to renegotiate a fresh deal, but their decision not to trigger the existing option prompted Fogarty to explore the open market, opening the door for a Manly poaching raid.

The Beaudesert product claims he made a number of attempts to extend his stay at the Raiders before the Sea Eagles came calling.

“I always wanted to stay and the club knew I wanted to stay,” he said.

“My agent rang the club three times during the pre-season to activate the one-year deal.

“Unfortunately they (Canberra) knocked it back and wanted to renegotiate.

“In the end, the Raiders just didn’t budge on their offer which was well below my current deal. The club made a business decision and so did I.”

Fogarty said he has no ill-feeling towards Stuart, who threw the Indigenous All Stars playmaker a lifeline in 2022 after he was squeezed out by the Titans.

“I have a great relationship with ‘Sticky’ and respect him,” he said.

“I went straight to his office (on Tuesday) and told him face-to-face what my decision was and that’s because of how well we get along.

“I’m extremely grateful for what the Raiders and Stick have given me and my family and we will not forget that.”

NRL Immortal Meninga believes Fogarty should have stayed at Canberra for another two years.

“I’m disappointed for the club but I’m happy for Jamal,” Meninga told SEN Radio on Tuesday.

“A three-year contract and the money they’re talking about is exceptional and who would have thought half a dozen years ago that he’s earning $700k a year joining a club as a major playmaker.

“So good on him - he’s worked his butt off.

“(But) If I’m managing him or advising him - which I’m not - I would sign a two-year contract and telling him to back himself.

“Take the two years, 2026-27, and set himself up for the Bears or the PNG side.”

A veteran of 102 NRL games, Fogarty is under enormous pressure to succeed at Manly filling the enormous boots of Cherry-Evans, a 14-year, premiership-winning shot caller at Brookvale.

But Fogarty is no stranger to life in Sydney. The Indigenous All Stars halfback had a brief 12-month stint with Parramatta in 2017 and is relishing the prospect of bringing his own style alongside halves partner Luke Brooks in the post-DCE era.

“Obviously people are going to compare me to DCE which I think is disrespectful to him,” Fogarty said.

“He’s a world-class player and one of Manly’s greatest ever to play the game.

“At the end of the day I’ll be myself and play the way I do.”

Fogarty has been mentioned as a possible Queensland Origin bolter - and possible successor to Cherry-Evans - but the veteran playmaker accepts the Maroons have major depth in the halves.

“Every kid dreams of playing Origin,” he said.

“If I’m considered that would be unreal, but I’m also a realistic person.

“Queensland have great halves and are in safe hands with the players they’ve got.”

[Thewestisbest]

I think it's turned out exactly like Mestrov wanted - we're rid of DCE & have a solid new halfback signed to replace him at half the price, freeing up salary cap to improve areas we're lacking in, such as middle forwards.

DCE's the one who aired his dirty laundry in public, not Mestrov. Mestrov acted totally professionally all throughout.

We can move on now.

I agree with all of this except DCE being on 1.4 million. I think more likely 1 million or thereabouts.

Note to DCE. Fogarty might be following in your footsteps, but at least he chose the classy way to announce his departure, and not your classless example.

Gotta love Mal. “He would be great for the PNG side. He’s a Queenslander, he’s indigenous.” What has being an Australian aborigine from QLD got to do with PNG?
