Shack denied release

[JoeyJoJo83]

SHANE Shackleton was this week denied an immediate release to join the Sea Eagles, who were poised to snap up the out-of-favour Eels prop on a second-tier contract. Shackleton - who represented City last year - has made just one NRL appearance in 2012.

The 29-year-old's demise coincided with an extraordinary social media attack on Stephen Kearney, in which he called the Parramatta coach a "f*&^wit" on Facebook.

Shackleton has been stranded with NSW Cup feeder side Wentworthville ever since, but has performed strongly and collected two players' player awards in recent weeks. Off-contract and fearing his cards were marked with Kearney, Shackleton pleaded for a chance to showcase his NRL wares at another club.

But at a meeting earlier this week, the coach maintained there were no hard feelings and promised Shackleton every chance of a first grade recall.

I don't think this has been brought up yet, what are your thoughts on this???

I can understand Kearney wanting to keep him for the remainder of the year for depth and not giving other teams the chance to better there sides, but in this instance I feel it may have been better with him moving on.

There is no hiding the fact some players haven't responded well to Kearney and it looks to appear to filter through to the 1st grade side.

I think it was the right call - he acted very unprofessionally when he talked of his boss on a public medium in such a manner. I am happy to see Kearney stick to his principles in this case.

SK is a bigger f**kwit than what we give him credit for.

Does your cousin have any inside info on the Shack front?

Cute. Have you ever managed to talk league in these forums.

SK has finally made a correct call tbh...we might need Shack at some point, and we sure as shit don't need to give a rival side an advantage by releasing him

 

[Stagger eel]

regardless on what anyone thinks of Kearney, it was a dumb move by Shack, I'm also happy that we've decided we're no longer a charity bin for any other NRL club looking at replenishing their stock..

I reckon we should of said to Manly give us mauro or Lussick and you can have Shack.

i watched Shack at Wenty on Satdy against the Vulcans and he was far and away the best forward on the park in what was an at times scrappy game

Shack is also leading the NSW Cup player of the year comp

i cant see why SK is leaving him at Wenty now having seen him play a couple games at Ringrose, he is going better than Mitch Allgood imo

 

[Gronk]

I feel for Shack, but Allgood is ahead of him now and there is only room for 4 props plus Hindy.

Why?
If you want to blame anyone for this situation, surely it is Shackleton?

Shack is playing against muppets. Allgood is a City v Country Rep.

If shack has said sorry for his actions, and SK accepted, why is he still in wenty????


You happy for Daniella, POH and Casey to get a run before shack????

If he has no intentions on using him, why not release him?????

Or would SK rather show him who the top dog is??????

 

[Djay]

Yea and some of the players we have are like Reserve Graders, surely he could do a better job?

It would of been good if we could have got a trade off.

TBH I think with Shack sticking around it's probably doing more damage then good.

DOH -it's called depth sunshine.

POH, Daniella and Casey can/should be for depth, sunshine

You must have made another phone call. :?
How the hell would you know what happened?
Oh, that's right, EVERYTHING is Kearney's fault.
No worries.

As a quesation, he is playing front row at Wenty, who would he replace in first grade. Can't see he would be preferred over Allgood, Fui, Mannah or Hindy

He is there for depth, which to be honest was the position he played at the Rorters

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Shack played City Country last year. Geez he's gone bad quickly.

Or Poore.

Shack is just unlucky that we've had no injury to any pigs. Simple as that.
