Manly Marlin and Waratah Second Rower Jarrod Heaney wanted a release mid season to join Manly after failing to win a contract for 2004.
Disillusioned and not wanting to play Union anymore he came to the Manly Club asking for a chance and was awaiting a release from the NSW Waratahs.
He was told he couldn't switch codes as it would set a dangerous precedent.
Although Blacklock was able to return to St.George, Heaney can't join Manly because he is an established club player.
The Manly Marlins won't enter the debate and Peter Sharp has accepted the decision, leaving a Union player with some talent unable to leave Union and not wanting to play the game anymore.
Where is the sense in having a player that wants out. Where is the consistency after Blacklocks release.????????
