I vote for Rose and King to go - Wolfie brings the fun AND talent

With the draw and this, I truly regret renewing early. :s

Wolfie is injured and in a vulnerable position to negotiate contracts with other clubs. I know hard decisions have to be made but I'd hate to see Manly cut loose a bloke in his position.
It's always sad to see anyone go but to lose a positive media magnet like Wolfie would be devasting for him and fans.
Please keep the Wolfman, Manly.

Oh, and can that Schubert guy *uck off and investigate clubs with a history of cheating the cap.

Granted, however how about the fact that Wolfie is gonna be getting paid all that money whilst on the sidelines? Take a pay cut to $100,000.

Our depth chart dictates that if its a choice between Rose & Wolfman then we should keep the winger.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Wingers and bench forwards are replaceable (in fact we already have signed a couple). Quality fullbacks aren't.

We are in this trouble because de$$ left the club with a back log of back ended deals. He has made it very hard for the club to hold its star players. I think he did this knowing that he was leaving. I am told that there are some players this year are getting a lot more than there worth .

Doesn't every club use back-ended contracts?

When you want to retain star players without losing too many other players, what other options are there?

Players are offered more than they are worth at the end of their deal, so they will agree to play for less than they are worth at the start of the deal.

Aren't they?

If you think Hasler erred by retaining the players he did (including to allow us to win the 2011 title), then exactly which are the players you say he should have cut?

…and when?

 

[Mals]

Maybe Snake a few other boys could take a pay cut so Rose & Wolfy can be kept at the club. I can't imagine that Wolfy or Rose are on big coin.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I find it interesting that so many were slamming Gould last week on here about his chats with the big 4 out there, but are quite happy to say Manly should cut someones pay or give them the punt

The 20/20 hindsight argument is that Des' decisions were right because we won 2011. We could easily have signed those exact same contracts and not won the comp - and then perhaps been somewhat strangled by the contracts for future seasons. When the contracts were signed we were still outsiders, and a very profitable bet if they won. So hindsight can be a very poor measure.

The biggest concern I see are the player contracts signed with getout clauses favouring Hasler if he left. A conflict of interest. Then there's any contracts signed when he had apparently already decided to leave (but not notified the club) - a clear conflict of interest. Then there's any contracts he signed which he knew would damage future years - and which influenced his decision to leave before those future years eventuated. A conflict of interest.

I don't know the extent to which any conflicts of interest may have occurred, but there is certainly a perception that they did.

I've had a think about it and decided that as the nrl aren't coming forth, I will register Snake's contract.

 

[EagleRock40]

After seeing and speaking with a few players up here yesterday at the signing session on the Central Coast, I'm confident Brett's contract is a non issue - it will get done!
If there is 1 player who might be getting squeezed out, and this is only my opinion i'd say its Joe G. He didnt seem to be his usual self interacting with the fans, and spent quite alot of the time taking numerous phone calls while he was there which is unusual as you think theyd have their phones turned off at something like that.

 

[globaleagle]

^ Or someone in his family or circle of friends is sick/hurt/in trouble....


But fair 'nuff.

 

[YOD]

must retain snake obviously but if Manly are forced to let him go it will all be Haslers fault

Who is coming 4th?

Could be any number of things, just my opinion though.
I hope we can keep the whole squad, but that doesnt seem likely to happen.

 

[globaleagle]

I guess 47 as the number of things it could be.

No wait!

42

That's the answer to everything

Sheesh, it's all to complicated. I think I'll just settle for "How many roads must a man walk down?"

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Good idea nicci, I'm going to register it too.
Hey, how about we all register it, get a mass movement going?
