Shellshocked, I have not wanted to believe this. There is obviously enough evidence to convince the police of his guilt.
Unbelievable.
I believe heads should roll at Manly as a result of this. I know I will get some saying "he's an adult and you cant blame others for his actions" which is essentially true. But I would ask...
Was he "at work", performing official duties as a contracted player at the season launch?
Who paid for the alcohol he consumed at the season launch?
And were players given an "open bar"?
Where was the team security that has shadowed the Sea Eagles for years and helped the club avoid this type of scandal?
Why did Peter Peters (who usually has that responsibility when the contracted security is not present) leave early?
Is Peters so unprofessional that he cannot put aside his differences with Delmege to perform his responsibilities at the club?
Is Grant Mayer's statment of "In hindsight it wasn't such a great idea" in reference to the season launch pissup a case of covering his own arse and should he and Peter Peters be fired immediately by the board?
I am so very dissapointed with Brett Stewart. I have watched this guy and his rise since his debut in the top grade in 04. He is my 7 year old daughters favourite player, my mum describes him as "every mothers boy" and adored him.
I am filthy at the club... 1 effing week out from what should be Manly's proudest season. Defending our premiership. Regaining the mantle of the codes glamour club... in tatters. "In hind(f***ing)sight" hey Grant? Didn't want to be around Max hey Zorba? You both are a disgrace, you both should be the ones stepping forward and shouldering the balme in the face of disillusioned Manly supporters. You both do not deserve to wear the clubs colours or be paid a wage from my membership fees.
