Clubs tend to not drop players who are on 1.2m a season.Totally agree, doesn't matter how bad he played he's had a mortgage on the no7.
IMO Overpaid and underperformed and inconsisent.

Yep and that’s why they should of done a deal with the chooks when they wanted him, they shifted cheese and Young who will be a knight again in 2 weeks so they could clear the way, now it looks like we might be stuck with him for the year at 1.2, could of salvaged some of that coin and showed some balls in pissing him off, when he chose to Sh1t on the club, our club seems so incompetent, we didn’t stand him down, strip him of the captaincy, just said sweet and let him keep fuking us over ever since, grow some.Clubs tend to not drop players who are on 1.2m a season.
No, I want them to sign the prick and waste $$ on him. Watch him styfle their attack and run up leaving gaps in defense. The most over hyped, over paid, over rated, over talked about player I've ever seen.Please be true.
Yes, I can see the appeal of that scenario also.No, I want them to sign the prick and waste $$ on him. Watch him styfle their attack and run up leaving gaps in defense. The most over hyped, over paid, over rated, over talked about player I've ever seen.
Yeah, if this had of happened, Humphries would of had his shot.Yep and that’s why they should of done a deal with the chooks when they wanted him, they shifted cheese and Young who will be a knight again in 2 weeks so they could clear the way, now it looks like we might be stuck with him for the year at 1.2, could of salvaged some of that coin and showed some balls in pissing him off, when he chose to Sh1t on the club, our club seems so incompetent, we didn’t stand him down, strip him of the captaincy, just said sweet and let him keep fuking us over ever since, grow some.
Fatima is an idiot. Says our pack is rubbish, but doesn't even mention that our starting front-rowers are out indefinitely. Doesn't mention Jake on $1 million as the problem there, missing six tackles. Doesn't mention Tom being a passenger.
The Tackle: Manly have bigger problems than Daly Cherry-Evans exit, as his bombshell turns into a silver lining for the Dolphins
Manly have capitulated since Daly Cherry-Evans dropped his exit bombshell earlier this year, but his decision to quit the club turned into a silver lining for the Dolphins.
Fatima Kdouh
Manly have an attitude problem that not even Daly Cherry-Evans finally making a definitive call on his future will fix.
The Sea Eagles have slumped to seven losses from 11 games since the skipper dropped a bombshell in March, announcing his intention to walk out on the club at the end of the season.
It makes it pretty easy to point the finger at Cherry-Evans, and easier still to forget that it was the club’s management that dropped the ball during contract negotiations.
Cherry-Evans is said to be close to finalising a deal with the Sydney Roosters and there are calls for the veteran halfback to make a decision for the sake of Manly’s season.

But the future of Cherry-Evans doesn’t explain Manly’s hapless performance against the bottom-placed Titans on Friday night.
Manly missed 34 tackles and the forwards were beaten by a Titans pack missing their two main men in Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Moe Fotuaika.
The lack of intent in defence is an attitude problem and that’s not on Cherry-Evans.
Even if his decision to leave the club is the genesis of any attitude issues, it’s coach Anthony Seibold to galvanise the playing group.
To Seibold’s credit he admitted as much after the clash.
Manly have a bye this week before a two-month run which includes South Sydney, Storm, Bulldogs and Raiders. It leaves Seibold facing two missed finals series in his three seasons in charge.
Making matters worse, the Sea Eagles are facing an extended stint without the rampaging Haumole Olakau’atu who suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Titans.

While Seibold is searching for a response from his outfit, in Redcliffe Isaiya Katoa is making a mockery – in the best possible way – of the Dolphins decision to pursue Cherry-Evans.
Since Cherry-Evans confirmed he has spoken to the Dolphins in May, Katoa has been in a purple patch of form guiding the Dolphins to five wins from six games.
Rather than kicking stones at the prospect of the club’ signing another halfback, Katoa has responded in exactly the way coach Kristian Woolf would have wanted.
Katoa, who was in fine touch again in the Dolphins’ 58-4 win over the Cowboys, is now leading the NRL for try-assists and looks set to guide the fledgling club to its first finals appearance.
I'm surprised the Roosters are still in talks with DCE, their young halves are outplaying DCE by a considerable margin.
.
Put the roosters halves behind our forwards and they would struggle….in fact put most halves behind our forwards would struggle.

Too late now.. disharmony is ripe throughout and it's obvious.I still don’t understand the logic that we need DCE to say what he is doing next year to somehow save our season. Why would the players care where he is going? He has already said he is leaving Manly to play somewhere else - it’s totally irrelevant where. What am I missing?
