Who could this be in Rothfield’s column?

You’re kidding, right??

No

You’re kidding, right??

Manly offered 200k and Parra 300k.
But Lane is leaving 'in protest to the treatment of discarded half-back JacksonHastings.'

Salary Cap is 9.2 million plus 200k discretional amount for veterans and development players

Did they scrap the Marquee player allowance?

Did they scrap the Marquee player allowance?

'....They voted, they agreed unanimously at a two hour meeting at League Central on what effectively amounts to a $9.4 million cap. That includes a flat cap of $9.2 million, plus a $200,000 portion of the veterans and development player's allowance, which can be spent at the club's discretion.'

Plus Manly still has the -350k from the Cap penalty for 2019

Unsubstantiated rumours has Lane leaving for only 300-350k which is a pittance for a player of his skill in a 10+ mill cap

You do realise that he’s played more than half of his career in reserve grade for three different clubs?! I’ve enjoyed watching him show some more consistent form this year but $300k is not a ‘pittance’ for him. His mateship with Hastings has probably come about because they spent plenty of time together in reggies last year.

Good luck to him if he’s taken the bigger money on offer and good luck to him if he feels he’s sticking up for a mate. But let’s not overstate his value.

We’ll see if his fate ends up better than another lanky but docile forward (Kane Evans) at the eels graveyard.

Joey Lussick has a pretty close relationship with Jacko, and after his brother legged it I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.

Don't care who it is ..... if that is their priority .... see ya later ....

PSS ... I have feeling that our resident twitter Queen @Budgewoi Eagle is all over who are Hastings mates ..... your guess Budgie ???

 

[Frogz]

If they walk out its better, we dont have to keep paying them.

 

[Ryan]

Shaun Lane loves everything Hastings does on Instagram. I think they may be besties.

But, now that Huddersfield has also pissed off Hastings, who's to blame now?

Also, does this player who's walking out, will they also refuse to Sign for The Chooks who publicly stated Hastings attitude was poor before they released him.

Shaun the Sheep, is setting himself up for misery (or any other player), if they are basing their career moves off Hastings treatment by various clubs.

 

[mave]

No player is bigger than the club.
Dont like the way Hastings was treated ?
Put up, shut up or piss off.

 

[manlyfan76]

Good on Lane for being a mate. (if it is him)
There is no place in business for mates but it's very Australian to stand by a mate when he's got his back to the wall.

 

[wombatgc]

James Hasson

 

[BrendonStarr]

It obviously Nate Myles

 

[BOZO]

Lane has proven to be a good player . He is still young and on the way up . Its a shame we don't have the funds to keep him under our cap . I wonder which other player other clubs will out bid us on

 

[The Who]

Hastings gets punted from the club.
Manly then plays its best football for a month and wins a game against all odds.
Co-incidence?

 

[tookey]

Jono Wright

 

[Cameron]

AFB?

I hope I’m wrong But AFB was one of the first to
Come
Out and stick up for Hastings that’s why I think it might be him

Lane. Not only good mates but roomies on the notorious Gladstone weekend.

I am almost certain that this is verbatim of what was written by another journalist 3 or so weeks ago and was posted on this forum. Only difference was it was ‘Shhhhh’. Anyone recall that?
