Manly sacks assistant coach

[davi]

Just not the one some fans might be hoping for, assistant coach Willie Peters has been let go after an allege fight at a pub.

"Manly have parted ways with assistant coach Willie Peters after he came to blows with fellow Sea Eagles staffer Dan Ferris outside a pub at The Rocks.

Fairfax Media revealed on Thursday that police had been called to break up a fight between Peters and Ferris, the club's head of high performance, while the pair were having post-season drinks with other coaching staff at the Orient Hotel on Wednesday night.

Peters was issued with an infringement notice by police for offensive behaviour and Manly announced on Friday they had cut ties with the 38-year-old.

A club statement said the pair had been sanctioned for breaches of the club's code of conduct and that Peters "will be leaving the club with immediate effect".

"The Sea Eagles will not tolerate misconduct and expect all employees to represent the club at the highest standard," Manly owner and chairman Scott Penn said. "All employees agree to the club's code of conduct and know what is expected of them. We must uphold these standards and will not accept any avoidable breach of them."

It was a little misleading.

P.S. Davi is a wanker for that headline.

Apparently there was a 3rd person involved who threw the 1st punch.

Won't be sacked though because of his last name.

An angry Peters snapped after a season in which his relationship deteriorated with Ferris, a former conditioner at Gold Coast Titans, and he was the target of what was seen by others inside the club as pranking that probably went too far.

Peters is believed to have viewed the behaviour somewhat differently. Fairfax Media was told by multiple sources on Friday that Peters had complained of being belittled in front of players, of being taunted about his diminutive stature and of other incidents including a ball being thrown at his head on the training field. Sources said Peters had also had glue applied to the keyboard of his computer inside the Sea Eagles' office and that pictures of dwarfs were placed in the dressing room in reference to him.

Sounds like a healthy workplace environment
