Lastly, while it was bold to go after your star half, i think Annesley has been pretty classy and respectful, announced it at start then has kept quiet and let it all run its course for better or worse. unlike the media in general and a few like gordie and locky who have put weird pressure on... the Titans in general have stayed out of it, even though they have the most to lose from a backflip.
long post..sorry lads. any questions?
The Manly Fans issue with Annesley, is that he offered a contract to Chez
knowing that the Titans could
not meet their current financial obligations and in fact, a week later put them into Administration. The NRL then stepped in, then had a meeting with Orr and only then did Chez sign up with the now brand new GC Titans Entity.
😡 He has to stay silent as his Golden Goose would be spooked and backflip - nothing to do with Annesley's sensitivities and everything to do with the successful launch of GC Titans v4.
So it was the Titans that
a) inflated Chez's value beyond which Manly would not go as they had the belief that Foran was staying anyway
😕
b) had a Team under contract that they could pay from the NRL Salary Cap Grant but could not give them training facilities, a Stadium to play at or help with the existing TPAs holding up their end of the bargain.
🙄
These are the reasons that Sezer, Myles etc are leaving and nothing to do with Chez being there or not.
Chez has damaged his Golden Boy Reputation by reacting to abusive Fans on Instagram and his continued 'I'm enjoying the Process' line about securing a new contract.
But that's just his egocentric viewpoint, which on the field makes him the competitor that he is. So good luck to him.
I for one, do believe that the GC deal is a gold mine for him on and off the field, and that he is gone.
