DCE tells Manly he is leaving at end of season: Fairfax

Either way - I'll go so far as saying he already knows where he's going. Whether that's the Roosters, Dolphins, wherever. You don't walk away from 7 figures in the last contract of your career. Absolute nonsense.
Possibly but this is how false narratives occur.

You just know that wherever he signs, especially if it"s us, the idea that he walked away from $1.5M to sign for (hypothetically) $900k will become a "fact" when that is not the case at all.

It's already been brought up multiple times in this thread.

Oh yeah, would never blame him for chasing the bag, just reckon there were less messy ways of doing this lol.

Manly are trying to pay him Ben hunt money when dce wants Dylan brown money

Reality is Newcastle have changed the market. He’s still worth it too. Dolphins would lap up a homecoming

He's going to quit rep footy too? 1 million secured easily if he does. More like 1.5 million.

Ben Hunt should take notes. Guys like that who have achieved everything at rep level have no reason to selfishly keep playing. If you are serious about winning a comp then give it up.

I’m even more confused after his 100% footy interview. So he’s keeping his options open but one of the options definitely won’t be staying with Manly? Even though they’ve offered him 1.5mil which would make him the highest paid in the game? Nah it doesn’t track. There’s either been a big falling out at Manly, or another club, likely the Roosters have tabled him something that completely blows the 1.5 out of the water.

If he was leaning towards retiring there wouldn’t be the obviously backhanded tone about Manly.
It doesn't track because that isn't the offer...

Guessing you're from NSW?

The birthplace of Rugby League in Australia yes.
Well tough to say the birth place of anything if it's just imported anyway, but that aside.

If he believes he's good enough then as a QLDer it isn't a decision.

Sure it would help achieve a premiership but that's like kicking your primary school kids out into the street will help you achieve your investment goals.
