OT - DCE lifetime Contract ?

[Minh]

Pining so much weight on one player....is exactly what we have....BIG GEORGE ROSE

Marquee.....heavyweight!

Have to agree and pinning so much weight on 1 player, on such long and lucrative terms is a sign of desperation by manly.

It appears the new owners, and Fultons appointment have decided DCE departure would be catastrophic enough to gamble the deal at hand.

I see Manly as resilient as they have been for some 10 years, to struggle and find a need to re-build, as we did between 12-2014.

Their established stars, Lyon, Stewart, etc are getting on. Cant see them playing in September for a few years.

Very similar indeed to us when we had all those aging stars go out almost at once, Gaz, Young, Hornby and Cooper.

I should have used my wording carefully.
PS I like Rose. He is not a marquee player but could be a marquee.

Those players you mentioned Minh were integral to our success as well as our decline via their absence. I have no doubt. Every club goes though this mess. Some handle and prepare better than others.
