I vote for challenge!  😡

challenge would be good, but would it allow brett to play this weekend?

 

[Jatz Crackers]

I would fully support the club in a challenge. Even if it caused us to defocus on our season.

 

[Chip and Chase]

They won't challenge. They can't even agree if we want to keep our CEO and coach. They'll take it on the chin, unless Des gets in there and starts slamming a fist

 

[Zep]

here is as i see it, we make the 8 we win the comp. It is best to lose focus now rather than later.

SMH/League HQ says that Manly have accepted the decision. I guess, for now, it is over.
The only change to an article already posted is that the decision has been accepted.
