My bet is woman @$1.01 and man at about $640,000.00
Renea Garnter.
I don't mind Zorba but I think its a job where he doesn't perhaps have the best skills for this century. The wierd thing is, he's done a pretty decent job this year with guys like Foran & DCE getting plenty of positive press and opportunities to speak ... however, thinking about it a bit more, to be honest. Unless we are working at the Sea Eagles we really don't know what he does and how well he does it on a day by day basis. He might be brilliant or terrible. We really don't know.
Zorba is dated and some of his gaffes are simply because he is from another era, but to say he brings no positive media to the table is an exaggeration. He has his own radio show and has for many years, and Manly invariably get a mention there. Plus he was a sports journalist in the print media before going on air and the contacts he has would be hard to replace. Of course the downside is what I first mentioned, and also the fact that there are some avenues not open to him just because of who he is, that may be accessible to a new face without all his extensive history. His time is nearly up, but don't discount what he has contributed.Frogz said:Its not a matter of dumping an "icon"...its getting someone in a job that is actually good at it....Zorba is not. He does not bring any positive media to the table.

Tragic for Zorb who has been with the club for what....35 years
Bloody ridiculous, if he was going to be stood down for this he may as well have told her that he wanted to bend her over the car and give her one
