That one’s a head scratcher even for you Boz.

It is more affective when we start to think deep with our heads than just scratch them feathered friend

Cameron Smith was one of the few that did it , just as good in his last year as ever.

The Dollar Chaser will find it harder & harder to stay with the kids so I agree I’m pleased the club didn’t sign him longer.

To be honest I just don’t know why he didn’t , announce he was retiring at the end of the year , pick up a cushy job in the media , and then work his way back into coaching at some point.

His reputation would be intact , and let’s face it he’ll still be able to earn a motza from the game in the next decade without having to **** in his nest.

I think he probably wants to take the most games played record off Smith. What I don't understand is why he didn't just keep his mouth shut about his intentions. Or at least announce it at a joint press conference with the club, rather than going rogue on Channel 9.

I'm guessing he traded a guaranteed job after footy for the exclusive.

At the time of his announcement, he also committed to helping Manly win the competition this year.

Ah that’s good to hear!

Does that start tonight?

Should be obvious Mark. He loves the game. He's developed a range of skills few wll match and has worked hard to reach that level. Yes, he could pick up a media job, maybe get into coaching and eventually administration. But its not the same. He's the alpha male at present. He's back to cadet in the other roles. Very focussed and disciplined. Reminds me of a young Des Hasler. He also switched clubs late in career and played until he was 36. These types of players train damn hard and achieve a higher degree of fitness than the vast majority. Probably party explains their longevity and low injury rate
