THE Sea Eagles have distanced themselves from controversial Sharks backrower Paul Gallen who wants out of the Sutherland Shire.
With six internationals off contract at the end of 2010, the Sea Eagles are simply focused on retaining their current stable.
The Manly Daily understands the Sea Eagles do not have a single dollar to offer any new players for next year.
Gallen is still contracted to the Sharks for the next two seasons and wants out of his existing deal.
It is believed someone connected to Gallen approached the Sea Eagles on the players behalf last week.
The Daily understands Manlys coaching staff are not interested in the controversial Kangaroo backrower.
Stand-in Sea Eagles CEO Wayne Honeywood said the club cannot afford any more players next season, with the focus squarely on retaining the likes of Anthony Watmough, Glenn Stewart and Kieran Foran who are all off contract at the end of next winter.
Geez, if you are being serious, Gallen is 3X the player G.Stewart is. He is a more consistent club footballer than Watmough as well. If you had 350,000 to throw at either Gallen or Watmough, I reckon that Gallen would be the better investment. He has carried the Sharks for the past two years...just lock him away after games!
If Steward remains in the N.R.L. Manly should be entitled to retain anyone who ever wore a football jersey and i'll relinquish all my following of Rugby League,a game i've supported all my life,there are grown men out there who have lambasted Gallen, Mason, and others of obscene behaviour, i'll say now to the N.R.L. The time has arrived to get out of the game you stole from their supportersoverrated... i'd be spending all our $$$ on watmough and stewart.. i do hope matai can say a little longer.. i love his grubby ways..

Why would u want such a f**kwit grub and this wonderful club of ours? Seriously people, most of you idiots wanting him at our club are probably the same fools who have called him every name under the sun when he has done the millions of bad things on and off the field. I would rather win a premiership with players that i respect who show pride in the jersey. Gallen has no pride for himself or others.
Oh and HA HA f**kING HA at this horrible statement.
watmough runs rings around Gallen,
I wouldn't want him at saints if he was paying us
To much of a risk of the prick doing something stupid and the club having to clean up the scraps
