NZ Warrior, from being a journo don't believe half of what you read.
Remember the Warriors press releases over Ali Lauitiiti
Monty: somethnig along the lines of "I don't want to fight for someone who's not prepared to fight hard in the trenches for the Vodafone Warriors"
Stacey: something along the lines of "I've lost my pace this year. I'm trying to reinvent my game under the guidance of Tony Kemp and Daniel Anderson."
Hmmmm.... Monty would lose a lot of respect from his fellow players if he said that, if Stacey said that thats tantamount to Shane Webcke saying he'd lost the ability to hit the ball up hard and he may be thinking of playing lock next season. Ain't going to happen.
Contracts are treated with utter contempt at the Warriors, think of Ali Lauitiiti's situation. If something doesn't suit the club they don't give a flying F about the person involved and then they crock up some media release to cover their own backsides. Allen Mac has said that PJ himself, and people close to PJ have said that PJ wanted to stay a Warrior, I doubt he'd instigate negotiations for an early release from a $200,000 contract when there's no definitive guarantee of his playing future.
C'mon mate, I love the club as much as the next bloke but the Warriors have little integrity these days for contracts or honesty in dealing with the public.
All I can say is, god bless PJ Marsh, you are an absolute champion on and off the field, god bless and good luck. Even most Warrior fans hope you get your clearance and carve us up for the Eels next year.
