<p>Manly’s recruitment and retention plans for 2010 are in danger of being scuttled by the NRL premiers’ bitter boardroom battle. </p> <p> That’s the opinion of Sea Eagles chief executive Grant Mayer, whose own position at the club remains shrouded in mystery after he elected not to seek an extension to his contract which expires in October. </p> <p>The re-signing of Orford - last year’s Dally M player of the year - is Mayer and coach Des Hasler’s biggest roster decision. His retention would affect who else out of Test winger David Williams, Michael Robertson, Glenn Hall and back-up hooker Heath L’Estrange the club could keep. </p> <p>A decision on Orford will also determine Manly’s recruitment targets, but Mayer admits the uncertainty at the boardroom level - where co-owners Scott Penn and Max Delmege are at loggerheads - could affect the club’s ability to attract players. </p>
