Same...Optimism made me choose both will stay.
The telling thing for me is neither has shown any hint of a desire to stay.
Neither did Matai last year, by all reports he was being held to his contract against his will, as was Snake. I do agree that it would be nice if they openly said they want to stay but where would that leave their managers options?
Foran's manager stated that Foz wouldn't look at any offers unless he was unhappy with Manly's terms. There was no mention that he wasn't so i take that as a positive that he wants to stay?
DCE won't be going anywhere. After his clandestine (or not) dinners at he cold coast, he'll want to lay low, and what better place to do that than Manly?
I'll say this Mark. If the Titans get DCE for that reported money then the NRL will be guilty of sanctioning a rape of our club. If this happens then I won't be renewing my membership and I won't be investing my time and emotion into this game any longer. After 42 years of following league I'll start taking my kids to Gold Coast Suns games. I'll still watch Manly games on the tv but only out of mild interest.All over Twitter / Facebook, Titans offer trumps all and dwarfs Manly.
Different Club Everyday now favoured to be a Titan in 2016.
Or so the papers reckon....Lol
Fair dinkum, this is a circus like no other!!

Agree with what you are saying Mick but the AFL is no better. Look at Gary Ablett Jnr going to the Suns for mega money. The Suns are are propped up by... yep the AFL commission.I'll say this Mark.
