    Cherry-Evans and Foran receive ''best offer'' from Manly Sea Eagles

    You ignored the main points. No seriously, I agree with you that by comparison to the "average income" the general public get paid, they are paid well, different set of risks and much shorter work life.

    Cherry-Evans and Foran receive ''best offer'' from Manly Sea Eagles

    Of course, if you want to take it to that extreme, Why don't they pay Manly to play? If you read the stats on life after football, most people struggle. Why should they have a higher standard than Everyman. If you were offered much much more money, better conditions, most people would take it...

    Manly boss hopeful star duo will stay

    I guess it was time to hear we hope they sign for less money. Sounds like a commendable plan. It was strange to hear a CEO say unaware of the gripes players had. Say it 3 times and it's true :)

    Cherry-Evans and Foran receive ''best offer'' from Manly Sea Eagles

    I was wondering why when I have read so many times in this thread "don't believe what you read in the papers" - why doesn't the same hold true for "seeing something in the news" without all the facts" What did we see by DCE making visits to other clubs? In my experience if someone is doing...

    DCE to sharks?

    I have to agree with Jerry1 Blood is thicker than water. Cananu I'm not disagreeing with your comment about what's written in the paper - but Re Snake and Steve - Money is an important cure or reason to veil annoyance. We don't get to see a clubs report card, just the results. They signed. I...

    Ha, thanks Sea Eagle Rock 8. Maybe some fans can be reformed if they come to Brooke with us :)

    Watmough Will Always Be A.....

    Choice is a complex thing. He chose his family when his club did not rate him as highly as Parra. No one can accuse Choc of making all the right decisions. But leaving, I doubt, was his first choice.

    DCE to sharks?

    you are right, chances are all the good guys you mentioned played for unders. That happens when people stay for as long as Gift, Choc and Snake to name a few. Market salary for no 7 and 6 who touch the ball more than any other players is pretty high. Is it just money? Is everything else the...

    DCE to sharks?

    Have to agree with Crusher Remember Thurston being paraded last year? Or Rusty and Burgess - Steve Menzies told Burgess we were a great choice - Rusty stole the deal - wasn't because Rusty is a movie star and promised Sammy an Oscar. There is always publicity around great players. We have...

    Watmough Will Always Be A.....

    At the risk of having an IQ of a small child, I ask the fans: the last time you were peeved with your boss did you or might you have said "I hate the company" or did you really mean my boss is a D Head ? I highly doubt a person who played for and spilled his blood every week for the club and...

    Cherry-Evans and Foran receive ''best offer'' from Manly Sea Eagles

    I remember tapping Ray Branigan on the knee as a toddler and asking him for his autograph. That is my earliest memory of being a fan. He /Ray duly stopped watching the game and complied The modern game is more complex with money and salary caps but we can only hope we still have the brilliance...

    DCE would have re-signed before Xmas

    What I don't understand is why would a manager say a deal was "offered" verbally to Daly (when speaking to Joe Kelly) when Joe could simply ask if that was true?a Board member or maybe a former board member could confirm to the CEO is that true or not? Why would Orr risk being called a lier...

    Cherry-Evans and Foran receive ''best offer'' from Manly Sea Eagles

    I agree with everyone who says it will seriously hurt their viewing pleasure - which follows onto crowd numbers as a result...Dollars for our club. The decision to "keep the halves" seems to be everyone's consensus. I wonder has the CEO done everything in his power to be competitive with...

    Latest from Danny Wielder on our halves - greater insight or more BS?

    Yeah don't believe everything you read in the papers. Some people have done is less favours than others. That's an interesting question. Which journalists do we believe "like" or are at least "fair" with manly and who just like to report on our misery at any chance??

    Latest from Danny Wielder on our halves - greater insight or more BS?

    I agree with Susan about the CEO sorting out the communication problems. That's needed like yesterday. Let's hope it worked.

    Latest from Danny Wielder on our halves - greater insight or more BS?

    I'm just saying in any business you can't just blame the staff (players) The leaders set and police culture. For years we have read about dramas. Let's hope the leaders can now (without 2 owners arguing) steer the ship to a top 4 finish (hopefully better :)) and a profit. That will be the judge...

    Injury's before the season has even started.

    Rotten luck. Hopefully nothing serious and they are back soon.

    Latest from Danny Wielder on our halves - greater insight or more BS?

    its watmoughs fault for the next 10 things -ok. Last time I looked it is the coach and CEOs job to run the club. Let's hope our great club gets back on track, attracts more sponsors and our boys have a relatively injury free year.
