I've often come out batting for Georgie.
Has played well each time he has come on this year.
And has missed very few tackles.
And is a great clubman & larger than life personality.
Great ambassador, entertaining & quick witted.
But to play devil's advocate... how much can you pay for someone who plays the few minutes he does?
What power, what a step, what ball skills.
Teases one to think just what he could be if super fit.

From what I hear, despite his size he is one of the hardest trainers at the club. It's all about caps and cash

I think you are spot on. How much can we afford to give him is probaly more of a problem. Maybe we see the young guys coming through as more of a priority.
Why does he get so few minutes? Is he really going to fall over after 15mins? He seems to take a bit out of the opposition as well, 3 defenders regularly on him and he's still bending the line and boy didn't we need someone to do that as sharks started to surge? Would of been interesting to give him long minutes earlier in the year to answer his so called "fitness issue". Interesting to see how he's used by scum if he goes there in 2014. I wonder about T Reds short minutes too?

He always swings the game when he takes the field. I think his asking price was small cant believe we let him go.
He demanded 800k for next season.

For us to continue to enjoy the Spring Season Finals, Manly need to bring in the new bloods. Its the reality of a business that relies on the vigour of its players 😎
George and Kitey were offered, (like Wolfie) a vastly reduced contract, it was their choice to secure their financial future.
This year demonstrates that by diluting the group with a mere handful of newbies, Manly have injected their Culture into these Players psyche, and they are now seamlessly part of our Club.
PS I hope that Wolfie is staying as he is still in his twenties, whereas Kitey and Gorgeous are now in their thirties.
