Don’t want him.

The ‘dog act’ he performed on the Titans leaves me very disinterested.
DCE is all about DCE by the sounds of it. Used the tits to get what he wanted out of Manly and now he’s come out and said he’s moving on from the club that’s paid him hansomly for what 15 years? Great footballer but have never liked him. Roosters or Dolphins or possibly overseas. Goons will offer overs as usual but won’t stand a chance.

Maybe Manly simply don’t have the money for DCE most clubs plan their squads 5years in advance and probably assumed he would retire after this year. They have a few players on big bucks and probably only allocated $600k for a new half

They reportedly offered 1.5mio over two years, so I don’t think it’s about cap space.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
As others have said, I can’t get the way he treated the Titans out of my head.
I’ve come around a little towards him over the years, but can’t help but feel we’re about to see a similar scenario.

Imagine if Gal took the Knights offer in 2017 and did 18/19 up there. Sad to see legends move on like this.

f**k Manly though. DCE seems like such a weirdo with how this has played out and doing it on TV.

We better make sure we have Pollard,Puru and Ford locked up.
Eagles will need a half.

Maybe there halves next year Midget and Turbo

The forgotten scenario.
DCE was reportedly about to join the Sharks up until the Titans put their last minute big offer in.
I remember the stories of he and Barba playing together as kids and Benny boy trying to lure him.

All DCE scenarios nearly make me feel sorry for Manly.

Yeah right.

Feels like forever ago they even got him papped leaving the leagues club(lol) man I miss that place used to call a sickie every second Tuesday with my mate at the time and sit in that video roulette table all day!

Don’t think it will ever be finished will end up a 2x2 room with a sharks jersey or something

They can take Puru but lock down the other two. At minimum Pollard but he’s with us for a few years.

Eagles have some gun halves anyway but they need more time so why they wanted DCE a bit longer

Think they planned this 2 years ago but dce went to another level, so they look dumb, that “call in” to nrl 360 was very tigers like.
they will play turbo 6 brooks 7 Lehi 1 I reckon seibold always planned this he is a lemon

Can’t see Turbo at 6 - no kicking game and would struggle defensively

Something that has gone unreported on here for the NRLW
Brooke Anderson, whom I consider to have been our best player last year, has signed with the Dargons for 2026.
It makes sense, her partner, Holli Wheeler, wanted to play with Brooke and did so with us before getting a pay day with the Dogs. Now Brooke is getting one with the Goons, she is a Brighton player originally so fair play to her.

Not a rumour or anything but I hope the club are looking at Tom Starling for next season. Good option for that no.14 role as a dummy half or lock.
