Fellow Eagles, I will come out and say what I suspect a number of us are thinking. Cherry-Evans is an arrogant and dismissive individual who seems to consistently evade taking responsibility for his actions. His public demeanour during the contract saga was a disgrace and disrespectful toward Sea Eagle fans and the club. His media and playing form have been below par since, with his press conferences hi-lighting his patronising and idiotic engagement. I do acknowledge his injuries and the loss of key go forward personnel however, his stats are not good for a million dollar player. I would not put him in the top 50 players in the NRL over the past two years. As Manly captain, the half back, highest paid player and captain, he needs to be seriously scrutinised. While he clearly has the talent, he seems to be lacking the heart, and is no where even close to the standard of players on similar income to himself.
