Matai should have been released last year. The club was not run properly and dumb decsions were being made. Hence the clean out required this year.
Can't argue with this. As much as I know we all love Skivy and what he has achieved at Manly, I think this year saw the start of his decline. He was great in 2014, but 2015 saw him fall well below the form that had many considering him the NRL's best performed centre. And his body is definitely showing the wear and tear of what he's put it through. Its rare not to see him clutching his neck or shoulders during games. And then there are his shoulders which are so heavily taped that he has difficulty in lifting his arms past horizontal.
Skivy has been great for us and I've loved watching him in the maroon and white for the past decade. But I can't shake the feeling that his time is just about done.
I still believe that had we let Skivy go to the Warriors in 2014, someone like Gutho who had a good 10 or so years of first grade ahead of him, would still be here.
