Saw this on another board.. The poster has had the goos oil on a good many things.. Good news all round..
"Had the pleasure of meeting Hugh this afternoon in the Manly sheds. He has generously arranged 3rd party sponsorship through a close friend of his wife Debra, that will see Jamie Lyon stay an Eagle for life and a special sponsorship for the Wolfman. He also informed me he has let management know that there are at least 3 more sponsors available through him and Manly are holding off on taking him up on them now as they believe they will best be used for Lingi Sao, Clint Gutherson and Michael Chee Kam next season or the season after. He is a very unassuming man and absolutely loves Manly.
Manly were ravaged by injuries in the second half, playing the entire 40 without a single interchange. A Bulldogs v Manly final is looking more and more likely. On the injury front I can inform you all that it is all good news. Worst case scenario is 2 weeks for Wolf. Ballin should be right this weekend and King will be right for the Coast. Scintillating in the first 40, Gutsy and gritty in the next 40. Souths have got Rusty and we have the Jackman. Manly are also looking at making an audacious bid for a NSW prop next year. Thought T Rex was great today......a lot for you guys to look fwd to next season.
After the 2008 GF we were very average in 2009 and 2010 just scraping into 8 and making no impact. I must say it's hats off to the Waterboy ......he's had to deal with Hasler's departure, injuries, suspension, contract negotiations and speculation, boardroom turmoil, all as a rookie with huge shoes to fill!
Congratulations to Des on his first minor premiership and to the Bulldogs"
