mickqld said:Loyalty is virtually non existant in the NRL and has been for years. I dont blame the Stewarts for wanting the biggest contracts they can get that is their right and good luck to them if they can get it. What I object to is these stories of clubs inducing players to break existing contracts and the NRL sitting on their hands doing nothing about it or indeed the Manly club not saying why is this being allowed to happen. Aren't there rules against this sort of practice. Dont players need to be given permission to talk to other clubs by there current club if they want out of contract early????

Berkeley_Eagle said:Sydney Roosters chairman Nick Politis chasing Manly stars Glenn and Brett Stewart
THE NRL's most powerful official, Roosters boss Nick Politis, is secretly trying to sign Manly's disgruntled Stewart brothers, Brett and Glenn, for 2013.
Politis rang their agents Mike Newton and George Mimis from Europe on Tuesday following my revelations last week that both are free to quit Brookvale.
Brett's contract expires at the end of next season and Glenn has a get-out clause because of an incredible administration bungle with his deal. I am told that even though Glenn, this year's Clive Churchill medal winner, has signed for another three years, a certain clause has not been met by the Sea Eagles.
If tested legally, there is a strong view he could walk out the door right now. Politis is aware of the situation, as are the Dragons, another club poised to make a move for the brothers because they are originally from Wollongong.
Canterbury are the other club in contention because of their respect and friendship with super coach Des Hasler. Brett has a particularly strong bond with Hasler, who nursed him through 18 months of hell.
Still, of all the clubs chasing the pair, the Roosters would have to be firm favourites. It's widely considered that what Nick Politis wants, Nick Politis normally gets.
And what I can't believe is that the Manly board has extended the contract of chief executive David Perry for three years despite the stuff-up with Stewart's contract and the other recent dramas at the club.

Mick, don't you reckon the Stewart's time at the club has been a little different to your average player/club association.
We took Glenn on to appease their parents (granted in the long run to our benefit). The club and the supporters stood by Brett and Glenn in what was arguably one of the most scrutinized court cases that any league player has had to endure.
Throw in a couple of knee reconstructions and I think a little loyalty would not be to much to ask for. I'm not suggesting they play for a pittance I'm just hoping that they see the big picture.
i doubt there really is any get out clause with Glenn, just some more DT bull****.1947 said:Berkeley_Eagle said:Sydney Roosters chairman Nick Politis chasing Manly stars Glenn and Brett Stewart

Seriously if one thing in this club needs to change it's the administration - get iot right people . grrrrrr ...

Wasn't Brett Stewart quoted as wanting to stay and play at Manly for life - I seem to recall that?
Although Matthew Johns appears deadset the brothers will follow Des to
the Dogs -no questions asked and thank you very much.
