Me personally, I don’t really care...but I don’t think anyone has really made a storm of it all...no one has called for his head, they’re just commenting on the fact that it’s not an overly bright thing to do. He has been paid handsomely by Manly who have stuck by him and in a tribal sport, seeing your employee wearing another club’s mechanise might make you feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t care but I can certainly see why some members might take exception.
It’s counterproductive to his public perception but if he doesn’t care, I’m not gonna worry about it. But I’d stop short of shaking my head at people that do.
