what :?
imo if they've helped him out through the last 4 years or so then he hasn't shown much gratitude by leaving
where would he be if they hadn't done what they stated in one of the Eels' releases?
maybe i'm being a bit harsh
when?
what have i made up :?
i think you need to backup your claims before going off your tit
To address your attitude about Williams not being grateful of being nurtured - you suggested that you may be being a little harsh - and I accept that. Imagine YOU worked for a company on market based pay, say as an apprentice. You come to your 4th and final year of your apprenticeship, and your employer says, mate, we are struggling to pay all our apprentices at the moment, but would like to offer you a work place agreement on $75k odd for 3 years (example only). You are absolutely grateful - the other workers love you around the work site etc etc etc. The problem is that you have a couple of kids at home, or are cashed strapped for whatever reason (say paying a mortgage instead), and another organisation approaches you, and says El Diablo, we think you are worth $150k per annum, but understand you have had a long association with your previous employer. What do you do? Do you sign with Manly, but bust your gut for the rest of the current year because you appreciate what Parra have done, because it's what is good for your family money wise, and maybe even a slight advancement (regular 1st grade) on where you currently are, or do you say blow the money, blow the 1st grade time, I'll hang around Parra for around a 3rd of my career because it makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy?
Now, that being said - I know how you feel. I believe you "might" be hearing in the near future that Matt Ballin will be signing with The Bronco's. I'm filthy about it, but I still know he would absolutely appreciate what Manly have done for him. It doesn't just happen to Parra dude.
I regard to the other stuff, Hagan questioned Manly, suggesting we are rorting the cap because we had just signed Bailey, then Williams (where Hagan's coming from I don't know with Bell / Willow / Menzies and maybe Ballin all going), and you gave me a warning saying I was making false allegations, when all I did was cut and paste an article straight out The Manly Daily - with an author - with a date. Therefore, I am not just "going off my tits" mate. It kind of annoyed me is all.
You then said that Williams "obviously" wasn't grateful. It wasn't that obvious to me. The way he played for you guys made me think quite the opposite really. You just made that up. You alleged he wasn't grateful.
I hope you can see where I'm coming from - and I now realise that there has to be a link in an article, and will do so in the future. Why, is beyond me, as it would just be a link to where someone else cut and pasted it, so it would really just be a waste of time.
Long rant I know - apologies lads.
