Many including myself question loyalty in footy & in recent times have been pretty pi##ed off when its involved the Seaeagles.
Heres a quick question.
Dave Williams ala Wolfman may not be as legendary as Beaver Menzies or as vital as Watmough, but he is whole hearted & gives his all as much as any player over the past few years when available.
The problem - limited games due to injury - maybe a legacy of how hard he plays the game - the way the fans like him playing the game.
So where to if this injury is long term??
Does he get shunted off to make extra room in the cap for a replacement??
Or does he get support & backing from Manly when the chips are down, after giving his all for this club where he played his way from oblivion to Australian winger.
Sure to be different opinions, admittedly even risk, but personally hope there is loyalty shown to the Wolf who imo is a great player & a top character well respected amongst most rugby league fans.
So do you keep him at Manly, or move on without him.
I hear what you are saying and I agree with most of it.
With the salary cap (and just as well, otherwise a lot of clubs won't survive without it), there's only so much room for players on the field.
You can't deny Manly hasn't been loyal to a bloke who has played only 65 games in 5 years.
I'm a fan of the Wolfman and I think he's an awesome player.
However, I think he should take a year off and work in the front office as a media person for Manly (training with the boys to maintain fitness).
This way, ...
1. He'll still have an income.
2. He's still with the club.
3. His body may get better with rest.
4. Manly gains a good PR man.
5. Possible career opportunity after football.
Anyway, just an idea. Still like having him around in some form.
