I don't get the motivation to go to Manly. At the Sharks he's in charge of a 400 million dollar development that is nowhere near complete. Manly he goes to a club with a reputation for infighting. If it was the ARU I'd understand but just another NRL club without the development management he's responsible for. Makes me wonder if there is drama at the Sharks.

He lives on the north side so it's probably just an easier commute.

I vaguely remember him signing a 5 year contract with us? Or some story along those lines a while ago.

Even if he did, contracts mean literally as little as trumps campaign promises these days...

He never had a 5 year contract. What he did say was that he was looking to stay in the position for 5 years. How long has he been here now?

I don't want Lyall to go but if we can't cope as a club with him moving on then we really havn't progressed that much as an organisation during his tenure - he can't hold our hand forever

I think we'll be fine. He'll obviously be a loss but the club is in a far better position these days. Given his professionalism you'd expect he'd have succession planning in place.

Apart from that, he's a bit of an amatuer...drinking beer from a shoe. I hear blokes that drink slops from a tray is where it's at.

Ha ha, well I hope it lifted your spirits

A woman wants a facelift and her surgeon tells her about a new procedure. "We put a dial in the back of your head and when your skin starts to sag you simply turn the knob."

"That sounds good," she says.

Two years later, she goes back and tells the surgeon that the dial is giving her bags under her eyes.

"I'm sorry," replies the surgeon, "but those aren't bags -- those are your tits."

"Oh," says the woman, "well that explains the goatee."
