It doesn't seem to matter what DCE says, he will cop it. He has won so many games for us. His brilliance has been noticed by every other club and selector.
Foz is such an honest footballer, he hits the line and leaves nothing out there. He brings another dimension and again we are lucky enough to have the "best halves combination in the "NRL"
We all want them signed, but whether we are in 1989 letting Vautin go, or earlier still when we bought legends from Souths, Norths etc none of us said that was disgraceful and now none of us should be so harsh as this circle of life signing/letting go process continues, albeit too slowly for us fans.
These young men are good people, they aren't trying to hurt Manly.
They are like every other person with families, mortgages and I hope that Joe and Scott find the resources or big companies want to embrace their personas for TPAs as they are a credit to us on and off the field.
The Sea Eagles Mentor program was started to help players interact with business leaders, learn key skills to better equip them for the pressures they encounter now, and also for a better life after football.
I hope that this program has made a difference, and continues to give all players wanting to improve some key experienced people in their camp, not just their managers.
Let's face it, there is always going to be some conflict between the club and the players, hopefully we win more than we lose, but money will always be important, and weekend footy at Brooky (thankfully will go on forever) or at least as long as the NRL are reasonable but will certainly go on well beyond this set of players and board.
The club has custodians, but exists for the fans, Go Manly.
