The Manly Sea Eagles have taken dramatic swipe at the Wests Tigers over recent rumours which surfaced surrounding their own salary cap position.
The two clubs, who will clash in Round 27 to close the regular season in a game that is likely to be played without anything bordering on finals implications, have recently been involved in plenty of moves off-field.
Maligned half Luke Brooks has signed with the Sea Eagles from next year, while Tommy Talau was announced as a departure to the Northern Beaches at the same time.
More recently, the Sea Eagles offloaded both Latu and Samuela Fainu to the Tigers. The talented brothers both played for the New South Wales under-19 outfit this season in the junior State of Origin match.
The Sea Eagles were forced to publically deny their salary cap issues, with CEO Tony Mestrov jumping onto the front foot to squash any idea that the club would have to offload players, despite a top-heavy squad with big-money deals for the likes of Tom Trbojevic,
