Tragedy, stupid, madness.
They are just three words Manly Sea Eagles fans have used to express their anger at Cade Cust's departure to Super League.
Wigan Warriors announced the signing of the halfback last week in a move that caught many people out on both sides of the world.
Cust was under contract with the Sea Eagles for the 2022 season but the club granted his request to leave to take up a deal with the Warriors next year.
But it's fair to say Manly fans are not impressed to see the exit of Cust, who made 10 NRL appearances last season.
The response from Manly fans was near-unanimous - with supporters aggrieved to see him depart.
One fan tweeted: "He was too good, it was unfair on him to hang around and be overlooked. Good luck to him, he will kill it over there."
And plenty more agreed.
Another added: "It's sad, in his limited opportunities in the last two years I don't remember him having a bad game. He's an out and out NRL player."
"Stupid decision, needs to be in the squad," another said.
Many were left shocked that no other NRL clubs made their move.
"Cade Cust is 100% a first grade NRL player," one said. "I'm amazed so many clubs let him go off to England. He'll kill it over in England!"
Another poster added: "Madness, he's always provided plenty of impact when he's come on and our regular five eighth is finishing this year."
Other Manly fans were unimpressed, too. One fan said: "A decision that will come back to bite Manly, of course he will look elsewhere was never given an opportunity to show his best, wishing him all the best hope he kills it wherever he plays."
That sentiment was extended by another who said: "Seriously? He was a great player. Wasted opportunity. Not happy Manly."
