True dat. Those that wanted Willo signed up for big money. Those that thought Shane Dunley was the best hooker around.....I liked Jamie but even if he does very well which I hope he does , as hard as it may be for many to admit the club over the years has a much better strike rate at player retention than us armchair critics. If on rare occasions they get it wrong they can be forgiven for that. Of all the hundreds of players who would like to play here for ten years the club has to tell just about all of them that they don't rate them highly enough. A very tough job but what is the alternative? We aren't privy usually to the offers made to these players or many factors which go into recruitment. It works both ways , players leave which we would like to keep like Foran and JWH and players are released which some fans and some players want to stay. Take a look at old posts on player recruitment etc , it's a comedy show
Ballin and ferris were great players as of course were choc and gift. Foran too. But lets have a look at the tale of the tape.
Take your emotions out of it and how many of them put a decent injury free season in since they were cut?
They are all club legends and deserve the best but maybe its time to move on eh.
Foran was amazing for this club and he was a future captain everything just fell apart.Foran is not a club legend.
Neither is Buhrer.

Yes this would mean the Ox is the equivalent of a club immortal as he managed to get a Dally M and captained us in our "greatest win". I'd be ok with this tooAgreed.
Thus he is not a club legend.
Go through the history of players who have pulled on the Manly jersey....where does Foran rank ? Not too high imo.
70 years Turbo, 70 years....not the last 10.
