Gift gone...... to Souths!

[Frogz]

We let Beaver go out with a premiership ....Now its Glenn's turn.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Souths have it up on their website.

Not sure when/if Manly will do the same.

Manly should get the nRL to deduct a few dollars from the Manly 2014 cap for Gift being used by Souths marketing.

 

[Chip and Chase]

The big downside is that this softens my dislike of the vermin somewhat. That is not something I'm comfortable with, damn salary cap.

 

[Disco]

Absolutely heartbroken, sych a shame that he vouldnt see out his career here

 

[sheridanstand78]

Gutted totally gutted to hear this inevitable news.

So unfair that we are forced into this.

I want to wish thank Gifty for all the wonderful memories he has given us.

And a great big 1 fingered salute to Greenturd and bis cronies for preaching loyalty and allowing the opposite to happen.

Now its all done, Manly must re sign those kids!!!

 

[IQofalimabean]

He's been at the club for over 11 years and the nrl couldn't get off their ass to help keep Stewart at Manly. smh.

 

[The Who]

So, Souffs must be losing T'Eo as well as Bugress in order to fit Gift and Grant under the cap.

 

[globaleagle]

Gives us cap space to re-sign T-rex!!!!!!1111oneoneone

 

[Brissie Kid]

ok now that's done, what time today are the NRL announcing the cap exemption for long serving players?

 

[Pepi]

Sad times. Without him I doubt we win in 2011, his best year IMO.
Time to slowly blood some of the younger forwards like Chee Kam. I noticed Jake T played a few games in the backrow for NSW cup. Jamie Buhrer has done very well whenever filling in for Gift and is a good ball player, may be an option.

 

[BOZO]

Gift is gone , Menzies is gone , Lyons is gone etc .... but the Manly winning spirit has never left us . Players go but the Premierships keep on coming
Manly has an amazing history and continues to be the most successful club of the modern era.

 

[Eagleheart]

I am very, very upset about this...!!

🙁

 

[Stevo]

Gutted. But life goes on.

 

[tookey]

Didn't think it was possible but I hate the NRL even more now.

Every team loses players after winning a grand final except the roosters who only lost a low salary player in O'Donnell. We should rort the cap like other teams

 

[Rodo]

Is this the end of an era?

 

[Disco]

This could possibly be the worst thing that has ever happened in this world!!!

 

[BOZO]

Is this the end of an era?

At the end of every era we always win a Premiership feathered friend 😀

 

[The Wheel]

Very sad just hope Brett doesn't spit the dummy as a result, not the club faults we can't make an offer it is the system that we have to work with.

The club will move on, another player will get an opportunity - we have lost players like Bozo, Beaver, Kite in similar circumstances and we have always comeback to be bigger and better.

Thx for the memories Gift hopefully he can be farewelled with another premiership ring! He won't get one at Souffs.

 

[bones]

Gutted. But life goes on.

Yep... Unfortunately.

🙁

 

[Snake]

The worst part of all this, is that our tough aggressive forward pack that beat up the opposition are no more. Choc and an ageing Jason King are all that is left of the bruisers.
