Starting with Chris Sandow. He had a gambling problem and we helped him with rehab in Queensland somewhere. He then Shat upon us with his tanking in the last game against Bulldogs.
Then J.H. We let him go a year early off his contract to fullfill his dream of playing NFL. It was always thought he would return to us however we apparently never legally tied him down to a return.
Then we sign another Manly crock in Keiran Foran who has had many issues including gambling. We Give him time off as well as injury time. He decides to leave and collect 150K to have a punt with and probably end up at the Dogs.
We give Semi time off to visit family in Fiji on numerous occasions. Now he wants to go to French Rugby.
Could you blame NRL clubs for taking a hard line and tell them they are on their own and that they are not social workers?

Kerry, we'll continue to assist with players welfare until such times as it's obvious he doesn't deserve it.
