[Resurrected] DCE is the worst halfback in the NRL

[Cliffymagic]

I think he should be put at centre .hes lost all of his creativity we seen in the pass mainly with turbo. Short kicking game crap. No creativity. Too much pressure on him his head must be about to explode.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

We have the worst backs in the comp. I do t think you can blame DCE for that.

We are getting murdered up the middle tonight also. Once again not his fault.

We could have bought Ben Hunt for similar money or even kept Foran, think about that for a minute.

If we have Walker and Turbo in our backline we would still lose to the Rorters but maybe we would be competitive. Tonight we are just woeful.

 

[Cioran]

Doesn’t know how to organise a team. Doesn’tnow how to kick a 40/20 or for position. Doesn’t know where he should be on the fifth tackle. He’s and absolute legend, making Keary look like an amateur. He would probably make a really good centre. Cust isnt a great organiser either but I think we should give him a try.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Seriously, put him in the Roosters side and he’d be ****ing epic!!

Not if he kept dropping the ball, missing tackles and taking piss-poor options in attack. Forget about the players around him, who are doing their best, and concentrate on Cherry's performance: he's been our weakest link tonight, as he was last week. His kicking game this week is possibly even worse than it was last week, which is taking some doing, and every time we look like getting a sniff or at least stemming the bleeding, he stuffs up. He has to be better than this, surely.

 

[Steve76]

Disagree mark.
Positionlly he doesnt exist. Wont mention his tackling or last play ability.
He would never get a gig at the roosters and he wont be no7 for qld.

 

[Shells Eagles]

DCE has to tell Jake to get out of the way and stop trying to do too much.He is stifling our attack like Gallen does at Sharks.

 

[mickqld]

He's surrounded by rubbish. Only DCE Jake, Api would make most other sides. Taupau is rubbish the rest are all reserve graders.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

DCE could score 30 points in a 34 nil win and people would bag him for not scoring 40

This is just not true. He's the Manly captain, capable of great things, and I want him to do well. But when he's playing like absolute s**t, it should at least be acknowledged.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Pretty sure Jake would be doing that under Des's instruction - Des has always been enamoured of ball-playing forwards.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Too many are scared to say anything negative about DCE. Sure, he is surrounded by C grade players but his own form has been absolute crap. Really pathetic kicking options and looks rudderless. He's a lot better than this.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Get used to it, we are stuck with him for life.

Has been poor for last two seasons. Has started shockingly this season. Always seems to have a string of excuses afforded him. Captains lead - they don’t look for excuses.

 

[king2213]

he is not a organising half . It is not in his DNA

Playing out of position

Can you coach it into him ?

Or is it a natural gift ?

I prefer a natural organiser

I have not seen much of Cust , but he might be a better organiser , letting cherry play his natural game. Cust also seems to have Bigger legs than Elgey giving Cust a defensive advantage over Elgey

No weakness in defence is my motto

Must give credit to Trent Robinson as well,

Coaches will target DCE weakness , using clever defence tactics

When it comes natural , under pressure you do not buckle .

When the pressure is on he will buckle.

DCE also asking Jonathon Thurston money creates expectations he is not capable of delivering


Give Des some time to work his magic

 

[maxta]

Fantastic player on the front foot
What is disappointing at times - he seems to not rev his side
Remember Foran, never shut up and directed the side around
DCE basically plays behind a side he has no say over, where he really should be directing a bit more
A quality rep player, but needs to give his side more guidance imo

 

[Cioran]

Keary goes off and Lamb smoothly moves into the job of schooling DCE.

Spot on!

 

[joeboy]

His poor game Columnn has more points in it than his good game column

He is really starting to frustrate me

 

[Simonmyers11]

This is a much better second half.

 

[marga]

Nice work Daly.

 

[Tomay]

Looks pretty good when he has time to work with and proper service from dummy half.

 

[joeboy]

Still can’t force drop outs, remember when he used to that so easily?

Got lucky in that last try, but I will take it.

Has so much skill, wish he was more consistent
