Marty's on a heap load more than Napa was on at the Roosters and so if he goes, it will free up a heap of cap space for Des to maybe get one player he really wants and the opportunity to include a very good potential player for development.
Marty is a good player, but I've never thought his heart was with Manly, he's more about himself, which is fine, but we need players with real passion for the club as that's when we've been successful. So, as with Maguire dropping him from the NZ squad, as long as Des has an idea on who he wants 'up front', Marty can go as far as I am concerned.
It was interesting that ABF (according to Rothtool) was having coffee with Bozo recently. Maybe ABF was thinking about 'jumping ship' and Bozo was called in to tie him down. Then again they may just have been accidentally in the same place at the same time (I don't think so).
It's going to be a tough three years and I'm in for the ride.
