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

[blue bags]

Everyone hates Manly, even DCE.

Manly Warringah always a stinker

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

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

Brent Read “ got a text” that he is going to either Roosters or Dolphins

And I got a text saying it’s going to rain or be sunny tomorrow. Fair dinkum. These guys like to put forward the notion that they have all these”contacts”. We found out with the David Fafita saga and when Des signed with the Titans that they don’t. Nobody in the media got those 2 right.

Chez has hurt every Manly fan.
I’m devastated, couldn’t even sleep last night.

Can someone from the opposition take his head off next game. Thanks

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

A (questionably) great, and very rare year.

A (questionably) great, and very rare year.

Would have been 3-0 if not for the Sua'ali'i sin bin.

QLD were utterly embarrassed. Lets not get started on how they faired in the NRL competition.

 

[Marshall_magic]

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

Turbo 5.8
Brookes half

Brooks organizing a 2 minute noodle deal is fraught with danger. Have you ever seen him run a footy team before?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Stop guessing where DCE is going.

He’s going to be a Rooster!

Yeah this would be my guess. He might think (probably very erroneously) he could get one last shot at a premiership at the Rooters. Certainly ain't getting one at the Phins.

I hope it is the Roosters but also, we have to be the favourites:

- It was said on Fox League a few weeks back that if DCE were to leave Manly it'd be for another Sydney team. Apparently DCE and his family are very settled on the northern beaches of Sydney which would eliminate the Dolphins. St George might have a shot but with a 4 hour round trip to make training every day that'd probably require a move also. Moore Park is only about 25-30 minutes away from DCE.

- The Roosters have been clearing salary cap space for months in a very weird way. The media and other fans theorise that we're 3-4 million dollars under the cap and there are no real big money targets coming off contract for next year in positions we need except for DCE (And Robson before we signed him)

- If DCE is motivated by another premiership then out of the Dolphins and Dragons we're the best choice. Teddy, Walker, DCE and Robson is a premiership winning spine and if he signed on we'd only be about 1-2 players away from a premiership in my opinion.

---

My completely uneducated theory on it is that the Roosters missed out on Ben Hunt, asked DCE if he'd like to come over and he's said yes. I would guess that the Roosters have offered him much more than 750k a season, a chance to potentially win a premiership and to not have to move and disrupt his family, that was hopefully enough to get him to sign with us.

I think the Roosters will look to replicate 2018-2019 which is why they've been clearing so much room. I reckon they're going to try and get 3 key players over to the club with Robson being the first, DCE being the second and one of Cobbo/Staggs being the third.

I might be made to look a bit silly in a few months when he signs with the Broncos or something so don't take this as gospel, just a hopeful Roosters fan with an opinion.

I think this is spot on.

It’s the Politis way.

 

[bedlam breakout]

DCE can do what he likes but please dont send another over rated, glamour coated dud like Keary over to SL - been utter garbage since he arrived

Nice theory, except that Tedesco is f**king shite.

 

[Generalzod]

Who knows he might end up at the Titans..lol

2 times premiership winner I guess that makes him shite right..
