Blog with Buzz: Manly's future in doubt after chaotic start to year

  • MONDAY BUZZ: Highlights, lowlights from Round 8

THERE should be genuine concern in the NRL about the long-term future of the Manly Sea Eagles.

This is a club in turmoil on and off the field.

A crowd of 5700 on Friday evening for their clash with the Newcastle Knights was an embarrassment to the code.

Forget the unpopular 6pm kick-off time, this was an indication that even their most ­ardent supporters have given up on a club with a rotten culture.

The salary cap rorting, strip clubs, the victimisation of a young player, poor on-field form, poor leadership, no money and little hope.

This is also a club with a higher executive turnover than any in the premiership.
