I really hope Cornish ends up at Manly. They've got a great record with developing young, talented halves. Would be a good spot for him.

Its a bit easier to develop young halves when they are playing with multiple rep players in an already great side compared to what ever Manly will be next year.

Still cant get my head around how Manly have let DCE walk...too funny. Its as if they want to make it hard for themselves, on purpose, and rebuild...:crazy:

You mean like having someone like Lyon and Matai in your centres to feed?

Or like having Ballin and Stewart in your spine?

Or hard heads like Myles, and Lawrence to work off the back of.

Or good young forwards starting to play well like Trbojevic, Buhrer and Leary to build combinations with.


If only we had players like that next year..

your own article contradicts your point



so you believe petero or your club?
I never called Petero money hungry, he was promised something that was not delivered and he walked. Good on him, I said he rightly left so I really don't see what you are trying to get at to be honest? You're the one who claimed to know the real reason he left like it was one big secret when in fact it was nothing new and was all over the media anyway.

If Foran's deal with Parra is in doubt with that cap drama... I would hope the last piece of that Kiwi's spine might be worth having a dig at for Jim Doyle.

Nah. Having the spine from the worlds best team isn't gonna fly these days. No way they can afford him

won't happen. It's either Manly or Para now that Foran has signed with Eels. He can either backflip and stay with Manly or stay with eels.

Either way the cap isn't the problem for the future it was last season.

But you never knew heard of it till now and still don't know what the actual issue was :lol:

Everyone knew, including myself, you made it out to be more than it was and that there was some hidden information, which there wasn't.

CJ Again you made it out to be more than it was. Money was the issue, he was promised more money when Webcke retired and the Broncos and Bennett went back on their promise, so he rightly left. Almost 400k at that time was big money for a prop but Petero was certainly worth that. At the end of the day he left over money and in the quote you claim it wasn't over money so it's easy to assume you were alluding to something else.

Ignoring the fact the whole backflipping on deals is horseshit....

Your post isnt true... He can backflip on his Parra deal and sign with anyone...

As Greg Inglis did in his last season in Melbourne. He backflipped on the Broncos and signed with Souths.

that's how you're spinning it to defend your club.

he took a paycut on his last contract expecting to be looked after on the next one and the club renegged on bennett's word.

the actual $ are irrelevant. he was given an empty promise that couldn't be kept not much disimilar to what the sharks and flanagan are going through now, which is an example of the reasons why bennett got punted last time round.

again....petero has defended his integrity and the club calling him a liar, is that anything all to do with how big the $ are? nope it's what i've explained above, all you've got in response is head in the sand rubbish

Wow.

And people think we don't have a cap!
They supposedly still have money to spend...

I don't think it would be enough for Foran...

But who knows... Maybe he would be tempted to take less money for the first few seasons in order to play with that spine...

inglis never signed an agreement, he was due to fly up and accept the terms but the flights were disrupted by weather :p
