But what does this make of the Orr's as managers?
If I had a son who had the capability to play NRL, I'd tell him to sign with them. I've called them all sorts of names as a fan of Manly in the way they did it, but they've achieved what Daly really wanted at the end of it all and he's also helped out a mate (Nate Myles) with his contract through them.
Now... does Bird come as well?
This whole thing reeks of Arko and the way he did business when at the head of the Sea Eagles and his recent quote about how he would handle it by going after another team who was chasing his players... ruthless! Penn has just learned an invaluable lesson which will hopefully stand us in great stead for the next 5 or so years.
