Weighing up his options could and quite possibly does mean that he is talking about his options position wise - ie hooker or 5/8. He is allowed to have a preference.
All this crap about seeking a release is just speculation
Is it Mona's decision whether he plays hooker or 5/8th? I thought that was what we had selectors for. Monas isn't weighing up the option of his preferences, he has consistently made his preferences abundantly clear to everyone who will listen.
Your speculation seems a tad far-fetched to me Fluffy, but let's foillow that argument through. If your speculation were correct, Fluffy, then what Monas needed to do was to explain what he meant by weighing up his options. He constructed the bomb, only he can defuse it. And he has chosen to not defuse it yet, or does not understand how to defuse it. Neither of which are encouraging if he is the team's media representative. It seems only the Manly Daily has fallen onto line with the Manly media release - it seems all the other media organisations dismissed it. Why do you think that was so?
