M Witt to be Released

[Langers]

could also be Ben Harris

On Zorba's media update as the mightyeagles forum he said that Manly had not talked with Harris or any superleague player so that rumour is looking unlikely.

its probably Witt then

I have to say that, whilst i am not sure that witt isnt worth keeping around, i will concede that brian has acted proactively in allowing him to go elsewhere.

He obviously does not plan to use witt so let him go and perhaps get someone he will use! Just because i would use witt doesnt mean brian will....again, the fact that brian is in a position to judge whether we use witt or not is the exact reason why he is accountable for all his decisions.

So fine, from the perspective of backing his own judgment, i applaud brian for taking a management decision and getting rid of witt....but if he does not utilse the position (in the top 25 players now freed up) wisely, then he should be accountable.

Frankly, i feel it is a moot point, as Fitzy and the board should apply the same performance criteria and management principles to Smith's Job as Smith is applying to witt....in which case Brian is at least one year past his termination date!

I think that even if Witt is one of those players who does go on to do great things at another club it may be okay to release him as it seems he isn't going to be fulfilling his potential at Parra. He could end up being a great buy for someone else but not a huge loss for Parra unlike Ryan, Tonga etc.

my hands are going to become sore from clapping walker smith at this rate

Were you a fan of Sugar Ray Robinson, Walker?

 

[walker smith]

Taken from the Manly Daily..Who are accurate. They first reported Alberts.

"Michael Witt is to leave Parramatta and Manly is the likely team he will join although Paul Cummings has made a definate 'NO COMMENT" on him."

From a post by Zorba on the official forum.

"8 - Manly hope to officially announce a new signing tomorrow (Thursday,October 7)."



Things are looking good

Well Moule actually did sign. It's just that the daft prick signed with Widnes as well and the club couldn't be arsed chasing a guy who didn't want to be here and is an average player anyway. So TMD was right.

I think the issue is Witt did not get his 100 lines in after lunch so was placed on detention and did not turn up.

Naughty boy.

 

[Jake the snake]

I'll drive Witt all the way to manly, thats how much of a Dud he is.

 

[Pazza]

Well lets hope that Marsh makes a good recovery

 

[mickyj]

Well you might need a bus to get ride of all the dudes at parra :lol:

not if I drive him to Manly first!! :lol:

You Manly supporters can toss all you want about him, simple fact of the matter we have a better footballer and former Queensland origin player playing at 7!! and if that fails we have the current Australian school boys half back, the current junior Kiwi half back and last years Australian school boys half back.

He won't get a look in here! but would suit Manly's unprofessional regime.

thanks for taking him.

I dont know how large a loss Ryan was - with Afamsaga, Morrison, Mateo, Cayless all vying for that other vacant second row spot, as well as young Dan Backo.

Tonga - well, we signed Tahu, and have some superstar centres in the making... Jury's still out.

at the end of the day and with Witt jumping ship to join the rest of the dysfunctional, I would much rather be in our shoes than theirs.
