Simeon declared fans would be furious if the Manly lost the potential top-eight deciding game on Thursday due to a lack of consultation with and understanding of its players.

“The Polynesian players are deeply religious and if the chairman of the Manly Sea Eagles (Scott Penn) is only just working that out now it just highlights how little he knows about the makeup of these people,” Simeon told Sunrise.

“I just think he’s trying to buddy up with Hugh Jackman, I’m not sure if Hugh Jackman is interested in that.

They knew this wasn’t going to go down well which is why they kept it a secret. You don’t print thousands and thousands of jumpers overnight.

“They’re gonna be calling for blood, it won’t be the players it’ll be directed back to the hierarchy of Manly

“My message to the Manly fans is very simple, don’t be judgmental put yourselves in the shoes of these fine young men and ask yourself the same question how would you feel if you were put in that position.”

Wouldn't be the first time a high-profile person has gotten off scott free and won't be the last sadly. That does little to influence my opinion of him.

Haas def the safe option but with 5 games to go Fifita just needs two big games and its a no contest.

If titans werent so shit it might be more likely to happen.

I got fifita last week and was going to get haas this week but now im annoyed he scored big before i got him

He’s right, we should all be showing a little empathy to better understand these fine young men who refuse to show a little empathy or better understand the LBGT community.

It might be a long time until you get in this position again. Now is not the time to be conservative. Whoever ends up winning will have a lot of luck go their way and that probably means running out of trades early then avoiding injuries.

If it was me I'd probably be burning 3 or 4 this week and holding on for dear life

I'll be shocked if SOS steals any KMs.

If anything I reckon it means Cleary does even more in attack without Luai, if that even possible.

As for how many trades you should have left if your team is fully set I’d say 3.

I will have 2 being ranked around top 400 I’m going for it not much to lose either I finish around a 300 rank or drop to 600-700ish if shit hits the fan!

Said this to Wolfy earlier on, but the few times I've been in that position I've fucked it by playing it safe and ended up with a good result but a nagging feeling of what might have been
