Black Eye, Honour, blah blah blah. Hypocrites like Mr Super League Tallis and never won anything but origin Lewis get off ya fckn high horse.
Cherry has been a great distraction for the NRL so they can sweep all the real problems/ offenders under the carpet like: (Other Backflippers: Inglis, Tedesco, Papalli, Wayne Bennett etc, Women Bashers: Inglis (again) Barba & Bird (yes Manly, Bird) , Druggies : the NRL Titans, Salary Cap Cheats: Melbourne (Inglis again!) Brisbane & Parra etc.
Fact is that a rule they created has come back to bite them. A rule overseen and implemented when a Mr G Annesley was at team NRL! If it was any club/ player other than Manly we would never have heard as much as we have on the issue. Never.
We've had tough year so far and had as much damage as any other club in history, just when it comes to Manly people think we deserve double. But what they don't realize is that we will keep getting up, always will. Our team is looking awesome and Cherry will bring sponsorship dollars and help us stay at Brookie. Well worth the big bucks. And as Ryan pointed out in a previous post, with salary cap rising over the years it won't be such a big hit.
To the naysayers I say, Fck them all and they horse they rode in on.
Congrats Cherry, Manly and all you great supporters out there. I for one am super happy.
