Most coaches are arguably the same tbh, with a club for a few years with the hope of achieving the best they can, then they move on, very few are/become what we would class as emotionally attached to the club, same as a lot of players tbh, usually it is homegrown who stay at a club most of their career like Yeamo who become what we would class as loyal.

I don't have an issue with him moving on, but every season he has said "I might be going at the end of this"

Will Brown announce "I'm probably going home at the end of the season" 3 months into Saints season, like he has done for the last 3 YEARS at Hudds?

I doubt it, I think he knew he had no chance of taking Hudds any further. It's different with Saints he can try and win things.

I think I'll wait and see what Brown does at Saints, they're in need of a big improvement.

Manu has been fantastic at Hull, he has also being a model professional whilst with us, the guy has moved on for whatever reason so what, nothing he has done warrants the behavior by some imo.

What 'behaviour'? Suggesting he's gone for more money?

Re: Airlie night tonight : Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:13 am  

Where exactly have people 'disrespected' Manu? I personally can't see this anywhere on this thread, just people suggesting he's gone to Saints for more money.

You do realise Manu was here a long time before Moa & Lauaki, don't you? I can't believe he coped, can you?

And thats the extent of your arguement?

Its not about the players at the club, its about the support net work for his family. Manu spends a lot of time with his family in west yorkshire at events with others SSI'ers and Kiwi's. Most of them are eother OOC or moving clubs.

I assume, by your comment, you have not lived that far away from where you live now? People decide to leave their home environment. give i a year or two and assess the situation. For Manu and his familiy it got better for the social side of things. Now its taken a turn for the worse and he would rather keep a happy house hold and surround himself with "his people".

Its not that difficult to understand. As I mentioned, if it was a money decision, he'd have stayed at Hull

Unless Saints offered him more money, in which case he'd have gone there.

I find it a bit strange Hull put Manu on Airlie night. Why not one of the new players like Pitts or Watts.
