Eagles flying high as Stewart stays, with Matai, Williams to follow suit

[Vyssini]

We've had a problem with leaks since Donny McKinnon at Lang Park all the way through to Choc and Seu Seu last year...

 

[Ceagle]

No club is leak tight, and most of these supposed leaks aren't true anyway and are mostly fabrication by journalists.

 

[Jono]

My opinion is that it's the player managers that are leaking all of this.

 

[Av8r]

It's all bull****! They said the same with the Foran negotiations, then he came out and said Manly were nothing but totally professional during the whole thing and announced he was re-signing.

 

[Cameron]

I wonder who's doing the negotiations for Brett , Mather or sutton because mimis can't.

 

[winnyason]

oh please guys, sportal website he will sign total utter bull****.

If it is always the player managers how come other clubs do not seem to have to put up with the circus over every player?

There was speculation over cronk but it did not drag out like this (from memory it was the same with Dave Taylor)

 

[Shoe1]

Parra?? Hahahahaha are you serious? 3 marquee fullbacks? Hahahahaha

Not a bad idea, having a back 3 in defence may help them!

They do. We're just flavour of the month due to the whole off-season fiasco and the will-he-or-won't-he stories the journos thrive on, particularly when it involves a Premiership squad. Speculation has been rife and the likes of the DT love to fuel a negative perception against Manly, mainly due to the various personal connections involved off the field.

Bretty is 'in a good place' - may he stay with us and break the tryscoring record!

So nice to see him smiling again

RE: Wow, I hope this is true!

Keep : Stewart,Matai,King,D and T Williams
Lose : Kite,Lussick,Farrar,Gulavao,Oldfield,Anyone else who wants out

Kite and Gulavao aren't off contract and are not going anywhere.

Howdy earnie,

What's the latest, is it looking like ballin might be the one squeezed out? Would tie in with what you were saying about buhrer and rice aid next year having new roles..

I will miss matty, but it kinda makes sense..

Hope snake signs soon.

King isn't off contract either, he's signed til 2014.

Thought Joe was only on a year contract.

Now is the time for a few of these players not to chase the money, maybe even take a bit of a paycut to stay and play with what could be the best ever halves combination the game has ever seen..
