Daly is best served as surname and not a first name

Evan Cherry Daly sounds better

Manly CEO says DCE was given a deadline. G.Toovey on #NRL360 says he didn't think there was a deadline. Intriguing times at Brookie. #NRL

Didn't they say they'd put their off field drama behind then when they "resolved" the issues in the boardroom. How are the CEO and coach on such different pages?

Poor Tooves. He'll be the next to leave tbh.

 

[Wizardman]

Im sad to say that Manly rarely f**k things up on a grand scale. I still think they will keep one of them (DCE/Foran) and lose the other. If they lost both, I'd laugh my ass off but I think Manly are too smart to let that happen.

Willie Mason on Sterlo was shocked when he found out there was going to be a change in the ruck interpretation this year and said Manly hasn't heard anything about it. I know they've been under stress but Jeez...

Archer has said that all clubs have had multiple sessions with refs to go over the new interpretation. If what Mason said is true, what the f**k were Manly doing in those sessions?

Knowing this, Titans should lower their offer.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's part of the strategy. Titans would be bidding against themselves so need for them to be as aggressive, Manly obviously hoping he comes back to them.

 

[shiznit]

Never even heard of this f**ker until now

:lol:

Still scratchin my head how Mason got a deal with Fox sports. Particularly with a quality host like Sterlo. Only time will tell

Hope he joins the Titans and lifts them out of the shit like Cam Smith should have.

I don't feel bad for Manly, it's the way the salary cap works these days.. you get a certain window to win a comp or 2 with these superstar players, you simply can't build a team around them as their asking price gets to a point where the team you're building around them would have to be fringe first graders in order to afford the both of them (look at what happened with Melbourne who tried that approach)

 

[t-ba]

Bleh.

I'm not too fussed. Considering the existential crisis we went through a dozen years I'm not that bothered. Could be fun being shit again. I never had more fun than the season where I managed to insult Nick Bradley, Solomon Haumono and Mark Shipway in front of their families because they were literally the only people in the crowd.

The last premiership winning Manly half to sign with the Gold Coast after a media circus...anyone jog my memory as to how his career went?

 

[Parramatta1947]

Good on Manly for withdrawing the offer - this circus has gone on too long for everyone and his player manager isn't helping. Make a decision DCE and get on with it. He will probably go to the Titans but it would be good to see his signing attract others so the Gold Coast can re-build. Going to the Sharks just because your friend is there is just dumb.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Hope he joins the Titans and lifts them out of the shit like Cam Smith should have.

If you or anyone else thinks he's anywhere near good enough to resurrect that rabble, they're wrong.

 

[Kiwi]

I do find it funny that he was all ready to sign before Christmas and when management changed they "didn't know" about the contract offer that was going to be signed ( yeah right like they wouldn't have known ) and now they expected him to meet a deadline on a less offer ( lets face it, if it was the same he would have signed by now ) after f**king him around, but it's all DCE fault. Poor negotiating tactics by Manly that look set to backfire, especially if they lose both players. I wonder if they'll be stupid enough to try the same tactic with Foran.

 

[Miller was a legend]

If you believe he would sign at cronulla because his mate, you are as deluded as the media.

Don't believe the Sharks offer numbers being reported. Not even close.

Manly has had an incredible 10 consecutive seasons in the 8. 2 premierships. They've had an unparalled run in the salary cap era.

But what does their success do for the game? If a team is going to be that good that long in Sydney it shouldbe Souths or Dogs or Eels or Tigers or Dragons. These teams doing well raise the overall NRL attendance averages and ratings.

We need every team being competitive. But if a team is going to be dominant, some teams are better than others for the NRL

FMD you are an imbecile. if a club is good enough to be ultra competitive for 10 consecutive seasons than good luck to them. I am not sure what point you are trying to make above, are you suggesting the likes of souffs should get more leg ups than they already do from the NRL to be perpetually competitive because you think they are the most popular sporting club in the universe?

i've had a think about it, and what joe kelly has done with "pulling the deal from the table" is a good move, high risk, but they really don't have much to lose.
