If this is the case, then i have no idea what Arthur and O'Neill are doing in recruitment, getting too cocky thinking nobody wants to leave thinking theyre a better club than they really are? Davey is a gem, who i believe should be in 17 over Stone, massive blow to our forwards depth if the case

What's to say they didn't offer a deal?
Maybe Manly offered a better one and with Thompson leaving maybe he sees a starting position
If Manly offered him $250K BA should have driven him to the northern beaches and wished well. The bloke is a good player but at 28 years old we need to be blooding young blokes instead.
I'm over the moon for him. Another reason to like Manly now along with Moses Suli (out injured).
LB: Who is this Davy? Is he an Eels Junior? If so, Arthur could be renewing the foul-up he made when he cut Matterson from the Eels when Matterson was a junior. You may have been hinting at this when you say " what Arthur and O`Neil are doing in recruitment. "? It looks like an Arthurian cock-up whichever way you look at it.
