To this day I dont blame Hoppa for taking that outragous cash, but I despise the way he went about it - this is prob the best example of what I meant last post. Any player that leaves for a ridiculous amont higher than we can offer - good luck & thanks for the memories.The Who said:MK Eagle said:Would be a dream to keep all the stars but unfortunately - it literally is a dream....
Agree The Who that DCE is the priority, though the impact B. Stewart has on this team is massive & bad knee or anything else he would be 2nd priority for mine.
Foz & Gifty are obviously up there also, but I have a firm belief that if the players are not keen to represent that Seaeagles emblem with pride & prefer to be elsewhere - so be it. Theres nothing that decimates a club more quickly than high profile players spreading a contagious disharmony through the ranks.
In saying that most of these rumours appear to be beatups by beatoffs.
I'm sure almost all the players that leave Manly is for the money, not because they are unhappy. While other clubs throw ludicrous money at our players (Hoppa Jrn is the most obvious example) it will continue and you can't blame the players.
I dont have much faith in the medias claims anyways but if players are leaving - make it clear - it could impact who we can retain.
