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

[Fangs]

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.

Did QLD import their pride too?

Hunt and DCE are clogging up the toilets in QLD. They are selfish to continue playing rep football when they have already achieved everything there is to at that level.

The QLD selectors need to take the blinkers off. Follow the lead of QLD royalty in Mal Meninga and remove these players from state selection for the good of the sport.

Yeah. We'll take the advice of two NSWankers after all their success.

2024 was a great year for Rugby League. A year dominated by players and clubs from NSW. Thanks for your confirmation.

Mal saw it first. Proud Bundaberg boy, a real QLDer. You can't carry these selfish players forever.

One good year, yeah, you're right. ROFLMAO.

DCE to make Origin call after dropping Manly bombshell

Daly Cherry-Evans is set to make a decision on whether to continue playing State of Origin after announcing that this season would be his last with Manly.

www.nrl.com

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.

100%

I'll drive him to Moore Park myself if he quits origin and takes $1M a year

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Manly doing the right thing. He'll be 37 this time next year. I'd be mortified if my club offered him $1m+ for multiple years

Normally I’d agree with the age thing but DCE is an extremely fit player and hasn’t had many long term injuries.

I’d back him to play very decent in that period. I’m sure you’ll find he’ll have multiple multi million dollar offers on the table if not now at some stage during the year.

I wonder if Dessie wants to reunite with him, could make for some interesting conversations between the Titans powerbrokers.

Then retires an hour before kick off in round 1.

 

[Leber]

Titans should offer him a massive contract. Then right before he signs it, they should pull the offer.

Nah let him sign.

Then at the latest hour in the cooling off period do a live cross to 100% Footy to 'clear the air' with everyone by withdrawing the contract offer. Only decent thing to do.

Manly can have Tyrone May and we'll have DCE at Hull KR!

I don't think there's enough currency on the planet to get him to move his family from Manly to Hull

Well that makes no sense.

1. Your suggestion is quitting from a group you can help acheive their goals simply because you've personally checked off your own is the very definition of selfishness.

2. Even with that nonsense reasoning how is it less selfish for a grand final winner to "focus" on winning a premiership if they've already achieved that?

1. Rep footy is a privilege. Its not signing up for Vietnam. DCE's time at that level is done and he should repay the club that is about to give him an enormous salary. Its hardly selfish.

2, In Hunt's case he doesn't have a premiership ring. For DCE he could do it at a struggling club and lift their profile e.g. Bulldogs.

Its about the 'team'. Something QLDer's are still trying to figure out. There is no 'I' in team but there seems to be one in DCE.

I don't envisage a scenario where DCE supplants the rugby league God that is Toby Sexton from his spot. I just don't.

Unrelated but I just imagined Sexton's head on DCEs neck.

...stranger things have happened.

Sexton is of course another QLDer. A proud Sunnybank boy.

 

[Perth Red]

Surely Dolphins are odds on faves for his signature?
End it where it started, and Dolphins are desperate for any talent.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Stop guessing where DCE is going.

He’s going to be a Rooster!
