I also notice no one at the club seems to concerned with our goal kicking at the moment, but why panic when a replacement is on the way

Manly don't have money worries. Manly have two very wealthy benefactors who are squabbling.

How can he retire when he has rejected playing for them in the past?

SO he doesnt have to end up turning them down in the future?

Exactly - if he's clear that he doesnt want to play then they wont select him then try and stop him playing for his club side when he tells em to bugger off.

I'd love to see him back at Saints asap

I've been thinking along the same lines m'self but I guess that's what happen when you put two and two together and make five......

Here's hoping!

It would explain why our squad has as much depth as the Daily Star, but it's a complete and utter fantasy to suggest the Great One is coming over this year. Next year is a possibility I suppose, but we'll have to wait and see.
