"We respect that Manly is heading into a preliminary final this week and look forward to welcoming George to the club after the grand final."

The club said it would make further comment on Rose's signing after the decider.

Yes. They have pegged back one small increment of my outright contempt & disgust by acting in that respectful way.

The depth signing part is not want you want to hear though. He'll probably be playing for Cronulla in the NSW cup i think.

At least Georgie won't suffer the indignation of wearing that Scummy purple jersey if that happens Stevo.

I think he may see more first grade than we think.

Triple M again said this morning that DCE is rumoured to be heading to the Broncos in 2014..Makes me feel more comfortable that he'll be with us for a long time. Frustrating hearing these rumours every second week though.

He's highly rated in these parts. This is from the Fraser Coast Chronicle..

MEMO Broncos - rip up the contract supposedly prepared for Cameron Smith to sign from 2015 onwards, and replace it with one for Daly Cherry-Evans.

The rangy Sea Eagles halfback - he's 180cm tall, or six foot to those closer to my vintage - was absolutely superb in their gripping elimination final win against the Sharks on Friday night.

In fact, he was the difference between the two teams.

His kicking game was excellent, a bomb leading to Manly's first try and a crafty grubber resulting in their second.

He repeatedly took the right options in attack and it was Cherry-Evans who started and finished the short-side raid for the much-needed try that established their match-winning lead.

And right at the death, when the Sharks grubbered in a last-gasp effort to take the game to golden point, it was Cherry-Evans who was johnny-on-the-spot to dive on the rolling ball and snuff out that last flicker of hope.

But most impressive was the maturity shown by one so young.

In just his third NRL season Cherry-Evans has developed in to a genuine leader and his coolness under pressure is akin to the qualities that make Smith such a commanding on-field general.

A post-match comment by the Manly halfback is not just typical of his honesty and maturity, but also tells us he is a tough marker. He said he was unhappy with his defence - yet he made 23 tackles and missed just three.

Already with a whiff of Origin experience and a green and gold jersey in his closet - and possibly another when the World Cup squad is announced - this kid is the next big thing in rugby league. He is Cameron Smith in the making.

And that's why the Broncos, who have desperately lacked on-field generalship since Darren Lockyer retired two seasons ago, should offer the Redcliffe-born redhead the big bucks they have allegedly put aside for Smith.

Following the poorest season in their 25-year history the Broncos have acknowledged they need a recruiting drive to restore their dulled lustre, and marquee players head that list.

And in that respect they don't come any bigger than Smith.

But the Storm, Queensland and Australian captain will be a rising 32-year-old at the start of the 2015 season, and that is dad's army territory. Cherry-Evans, on the other hand, will be 26 and a much better long-term investment.

Cherry-Evans would bring an exceptional package to Red Hill. Apart from his brilliant skill set, he has a warmth that would charm their coterie of gilt-edged sponsors and his media presence is dazzling.

As far as marquee players go, he is gold bullion.

The depth signing part is not want you want to hear though. He'll probably be playing for Cronulla in the NSW cup i think.

I don't know about that, Norrie and Ryles haven't really set the bar this year and I reckon one of them may hang up the boots by next season. Jesse Bromwich is just starting to hit his straps and his liitle brother and McLean are interchange props currently.
I would expect George to be in their top 17. The Storm have dangled the carrot of a one year deal and if he just goes and does his job he'll get another year or two.

Look at the season that Lawrence has had with us, a new club can do wonders.
I'd have loved him to stay but that's the way it goes, all the best George.

Ryles is definitely retiring from the NRL - is going to be captain/coach of one of the local Wollongong teams in the local league - Wests or Collies I think.

Triple M again said this morning that DCE is rumoured to be heading to the Broncos in 2014..Makes me feel more comfortable that he'll be with us for a long time. Frustrating hearing these rumours every second week though.

The boncos are throwing big money at DCE to tempt him to go north.

We will have to match the money for him to stay or offer him the captancy.

He is contracted to Manly for 2014 and 2015. The NRL has to stand up and make players sit out the rest of the contract if players want to join other clubs mid contract.

I wonder what ever happened to those mystical anti poaching laws that came along so many years ago....or did they?

 

[bob dylan]

Confirmed George Rose to the Storm.

If Brisbane want him that bad they can put 15 million in manlys bank account. If not wait until 2016.

 

[Central Coast Eagle]

Does anybody know what DCE is so angry about according to Weidler on the news tonight?

Ryles retired

I think he was angry about 2 bit journalists who shouldn't even write or report for a school paper making up stories about players being angry about something.

 

[HappilyManly]

DCE is offended by the amount of coverage the wrong rumour of the rift with the Stewarts, and his being greedy is getting

He said that he is a team player and feels that he has put in for the Club. Hopefully the boys calm him down as he looked realy hurt

Well it's not Manly making up those rumours so it doesn't seem like he has a reason to be angry at the Manly club or players.

 

[HappilyManly]

He wasnt directing the statement at Manly, but at the rumourmongers.
But a cuddle from Choc would be welcome I'm sure

 

[CAMBO]

Where are all these rumours starting from the newspaper that is owned by the same company as the broncos. The broncos are stiring this crap up because they have done an appalling job a recruitment and retention since. 2008.

Hopefully the senior players can help him cope with the constant bs. Time for a big brotherly Snake to help him develop a healthy disregard for the media.

 

[SeaEagle21]

With two years to run on his contract it would be highly unlikely. Barba and Milford come from two unstable clubs... Look at Kite and Rose both wanted to remain here more than anything and David Williams possibly taking a pay cut to stay. In 2015 it might be a different story but he won't be going anywhere soon. Just the media trying to mess with the club again. Anyone that watches Manly games sees DCE run over to Foz to encourage him after a mistake or congratulate a try and vice versa. He doesn't seem unhappy so i don't believe the talk because if it were the way the Media wanted it to be Foz would be at Belmore (barf), Killer would be at the GC and Skivvy would be at Cronulla. He is working with two legends of the game to develop him in Toovs and Johns so he would only gain $$ and he can look at Big Tony to see that it isn't everything.

i know how you feel, first slater(the grub) supported wolfy's neck at brookie and now this!
all in all i'm sure i can think of plenty of other reasons to loathe the purple scum.
