Well considering it's not DCE's job to take hit ups and more steer the team around those stats mean diddly squat.

This is the same Foran who bombed two tries he should have scored? He only needed to dummy one pass to a committed defender on one, and fall of the bloody line on the other.

Foran made most of those metres of one bust. 1 missed tackle from 31 successful tackles from a halfback. I'd imagine Sandow would give his left nut to do that one week. If we kept Foran, that would be the best we could have hoped for in the halfback next season. Foran's a good player, and we never should have been attempting to keep both of them. It was stupid to even try.

because you attribute the blame toward the Gold Coast for re-signing Kane Elgey

It isn't blame. Lets put this simply. You have a chance at 3 halfbacks. DCE, Elgey or Sandow for next season. Titan's sign DCE with the ability to overturn it. They then also sign Elgey without any backflip possible. You're left with Sandow on an inflated deal, or DCE on an inflated backflip deal. What choice is there? To suggest the Titan's signing Elgey forced Manly into a DCE backflip isn't blame. It is just circumstance. Personally if I could pick, I'd go with Elgey myself. Not that he is a better player yet, but I'm not a fan of losing large amounts of cap on one player. But picking DCE or a bunch of nevilles, I think you have to take the ability to build a team around a known skill set.

Time will tell, but Manly have blown it imo.

They just paid massive overs to retain a player they already had! Not only that, but they went and paid overs to an ageing forward in Nate Myles to sweeten the deal....

Crazy. Manly will pay for this for the next 5 years, the Manly players and fans will grow to resent DCE which is a great shame as he is a massive talent..

Crazy from Manly. DCE is good, but he's not worth sacrificing other good players with a package that massive. He's no JT or Cronk and he's not going to do anything behind a forward pack with no go forward

Yeah you can't blame the Tits for re-signing one of their best talents but the bottom line is they got greedy. All they had to do was let Elgey go and DCE was all theirs. Tits hanging onto Elgey meant Manly had no other choice than to hang onto their own.

f**king stupid play by the Tits really. If they had their time again they'd swap Elgey for DCE in a heartbeat.

He will go down in infamy. What an immature joke of a human. Especially to do that to the Titans when they were on their knees. He has really hurt the game. He has burnt his reputation and it'll cost him.

He will be off to union soon. IMO

LOL!

Mate, you might want to bear in mind your team is coming last...

Sure you have DCE coming.

Oh wait, he is already there. Where you are, you know...

Coming last.

Oh and now he costs more, so your team coming last, now has LESS cap space to get better.

I'd get that butt soothing cream ready bud. Trust me, you're going to need it.

you and Danny Boy forget Sezer who we had to let go because we thought we were getting DCE. We DID let one go, we just decided it wasn't going to be LG. So it's kinda dumb to be making the 'you can't keep all halves' argument really.

By the way how's that soothing cream been working out for you the last 8 years?

I 'reckon' you're a moron so stupid he thinks its awesome his club just paid more money for something they already had, and in order to that, had to pay overs for an ageing forward.
