Manly chief executive is a crank who is trying to stirr things up before the WCC. Fair enough our game isn't up to NRL standard yet, but i wouldnt say second class.

That bit is a clue as to the fact we ARE second class at club and International level.

He is trying to make a case to stop the drain of top Australian Players leaving NRL ..He is trying to undermine our game ..it cannot be that bad last Week record Crowds turned out.. it was voted the best valued sport for the money to see our game .. And fans want to see these Australians who are suppose to just be hear for a early pension ..Its just sour grapes ..He has to hit out at somebody because New Zealand beat them in the World Cup ..I don't read top Australian Players Knocking our game

Second class is not the right word for it though. The guy just knows they need every advantage they can get if they are to beat Leeds.

This sounds to me as if he's trying to defuse the internal split in the Manly board which is well documented in the Aussie presss, and which he is obviously afraid will upset his own team. Ignore him, and Leeds will have all our teams cheering them on to another WC victory......grannyfan Cindy

I don't think his opinion counts for anything tbh, his opinion is no more valid than someone on here.

Purely stirring up things before the WCC.
