• MONDAY BUZZ: Manly in turmoil on and off field

• MONDAY BUZZ: Highlights, lowlights from Round 8

THERE should be genuine concern in the NRL about the long-term future of the Manly Sea Eagles.

This is a club in turmoil on and off the field. A crowd of 5700 on Friday evening for their clash with the Newcastle Knights was an embarrassment to the code. Forget the unpopular 6pm kick-off time, this was an indication that even their most ­ardent supporters have given up on a club with a rotten culture. The salary cap rorting, strip clubs, the victimisation of a young player, poor on-field form, poor leadership, no money and little hope. This is also a club with a higher executive turnover than any in the premiership. BLOG LIVE BELOW WITH BUZZ ROTHFIELD FROM 1PM.
