Went online today and bought tickets for the Tigers game. It will be worth the 3 hour drive to cheer DCE and Tooves. Hope there is a massive crowd and massive chant for them both

Daly Cherry-Evans transfer: NRL’s transfer system is to blame for the mess, not DCE or the clubs
May 16, 2015 2:57pm
Paul KentThe Daily Telegraph
THE language surrounding Daly Cherry-Evans is one of insult and misunderstanding. It reveals the unfairness of the NRL’s round 13 rule. We need to cut him a break.
It also highlights how poorly the whole Cherry-Evans fiasco was handled. The line for who to blame starts to the left.
But how much can we really attach to Cherry-Evans? Why is the hate so strong? And what will happen if he stays at Manly?
Instead of being praised for being loyal, it will invite more criticism.
The doubt over DCE’s Titans switch has sparked huge criticism.

Greg Inglis left Melbourne and signed with Brisbane, then flipped on the Broncos to sign with Souths, yet Inglis looms a modern folk hero.
Luke Lewis was the first to exploit the round 13 rule, signing with South Sydney before reneging to stay in Penrith.
James Tedesco reneged on Canberra to stay at Wests Tigers.
Josh Papalii reneged on Parramatta to stay at Canberra.
None of them were condemned like Cherry-Evans, who has not even exercised the clause yet.
That Cherry-Evans is considering a “backflip” has brought out unprecedented hate.
Where was it for the others?
A listener called 2KY’s Big Sports Breakfaston Thursday morning and, complaining of Cherry-Evans, he started talking about “honouring his word”.
He wanted to know how Cherry-Evans could change his mind and stay at Manly given he signed a contract with Gold Coast.
Didn’t he know he signed a contract, he asked?
He then pointed out that normal people buy houses for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the biggest financial decision of their lives, and get just a five-day cooling off period before the contract is legally binding.
Why did Cherry-Evans have until round 13, he wanted to know, when normal folk can make equally as big a decision and have just five days to change their mind?
The answer, without trying to sound patronising, is because he can.
Cherry-Evans is perfectly entitled to reverse his decision right up until round 13 because the rules allow it.
Yet he has come under pressure unlike anyone else has seen. Again, it’s the fault of the rules and not the player.
When Trent Merrin announced he was leaving St George Illawarra for Penrith earlier this year the Dragons shook his hand and wished him all the best.
Negotiations barely paused when Cherry-Evans signed with Gold Coast before round one.
They were supposed to end.
But managers have now finely honed the round 13 clause so it is now just another step in negotiations.
Greg Inglis backflipped on the Broncos but it didn’t hurt his reputation.
The round 13 clause allows players and their managers to call a club’s bluff.
In other words, Manly’s “best offer” is put forward and Cherry-Evans rejects it, signs with the Gold Coast, and the Sea Eagles now know that unless they mortgage the farm. None of this is Cherry-Evans’ fault.
Blame belongs with the NRL for not blowing up the system.
Cherry-Evans is in no different a place today than he was before round one. Manly have come back with a fresh offer and he is said to be tempted.
Earlier this week Manly told him they needed a decision, once and for all, on their new offer “within the next week or so”. The Sea Eagles don’t want to wait until round 13 because if they lose Cherry-Evans for good they need to get into the market as soon as possible to start filling some of those very large gaps in the roster.
The problem for Cherry-Evans is the constant chipping at his character.
It should not be part of his decision, but it will be because he is the kind of man that likes to please others.
He just needs to remember that when you try to make all the people happy all the time, you end up making none of them happy.

If my son was in the same position as cherry I would be proud of him for setting up his life for him and his family . I'm sick of all these jealous a holes for the constant bagging of dce . The man played within the rules of the nrl . Yes it wasn't probably played out brilliantly but the media and managers can be blamed just as much as the nrl for this fiasco . Good on you son play hard and bring us home another premiership.
Does school only go til year 8 in QLD or is 'head up your arse' a year 12 subject?
Can't believe how much butt hurt and dribble is being posted on forums and media sites by these tards north of the border. Much of it by people that don't know what the round 13 rule is or how it works...... Yet they still want to post nasty things attacking him personally and ban him for life from origin.
He said no to an NRL club, not a whole ****ing state.
Pull your headS in rednecks, there's blokes wearing your beloved maroon Jersey that have assaulted and degraded women...... Cheer them on...... But boo the guy who Legally backed out of a contract. Makes sense

Hello? Hello.
I'm lookin' for my Cherry.
Wait. Okay...okay...okay.
If this is where it has to happen, then this is where it has to happen.
I'm not letting you go. How about that?
This used to be my specialty. They'd send me in there, and I'd do it alone. And now I just...
But this month, I've had a big month and signed some big names in Myles and Lussick.
But it wasn't complete, wasn't nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't get you. I couldn't hear your voice or laugh about it with you. I miss my -- I miss my Cherry.
We live in a cynical world, a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors.
I love you. You -- complete me.

How Manly Sea Eagles came up with strategy to convince Daly Cherry-Evans to stay

After being told one of the reasons Daly Cherry-Evans had signed with the Gold Coast was to play behind a strong pack, Sea Eagles officials responded by signing two forwards who he had expected to be teammates at the Titans next season.
The recruitment of Kangaroos forward Nate Myles and Parramatta's Darcy Lussick, who is believed to have been close to joining Gold Coast after Cherry-Evans announced he had accepted a four-year, $4.4 million deal in March, were among a number of contributing factors that convinced the star playmaker to renege on the Titans contract.
Of course, the eight-year $10 million deal the Sea Eagles tabled this week played a significant role, along with the attraction of remaining near the family of his partner Vessa Rockliff in the house they had recently built on Sydney's North Shore.

The couple, who have two children, also bought a house on the Gold Coast after Cherry-Evans signed with the Titans but he had never wanted to leave and Manly officials did not want to lose him, despite withdrawing their offer five days before the season opening match against Parramatta.
With only the Gold Coast deal to consider, Cherry-Evans announced he was leaving after the loss to the Eels but after five-eighth Kieran Foran signed with Parramatta just weeks later Manly officials set about convincing him to change his mind.
"We have been consistently discussing with his management that we always had a desire to keep him and we certainly reiterated our disappointment that we weren't able to and were really looking at whether there was any way of re-kindling it," Sea Eagles chairman Scott Penn said.
"We were always hopeful that we would keep at least one of them but I think Keiran was very clear that his decision wasn't so much club related but was more personal and about his relationship with [Eels coach] Brad Arthur so it is difficult to turn that around.
"With Daly, I think we all acknowledge that the negotiations could have been played out better but at the time we needed a decision from his management and had to set a deadline. It was a difficult situation because we were negotiating with the two of them."
Fairfax Media has been told Cherry-Evans and Foran had expressed concerns about the strength of Manly's forward pack.
Cherry-Evans had expected to be playing at the Titans alongside Myles, a friend and teammate in the Australian and Queensland teams, and Lussick, whom he had played Under 20s with at Manly.
But with the Sea Eagles recruiting the pair and expressing some interest in Test backrower Greg Bird, the Gold Coast forward pack suddenly looked weaker and Manly's stronger.
"People write you off pretty quickly in this game," Penn said. "I certainly think the pedigree over the last 10 years has been incredibly strong and our roster has been amazing. We hit a bit of a whole but we have back filled it pretty quickly.
"Nate is going to be huge for us. Not only is he a representative player but he is a consumate professional and from a man-management point of view he is going to be an incredible influence within the leadership group, which is going to be terrific for us."
The appointment of Manly great Bob Fulton as a strategic consultant a month ago has coincided with the recruitment of Myles and Lussick and he is believed to have been a driving force behind the bid to keep Cherry-Evans.
"I think that longevity of the deal was a clinching factor as well," Penn said. "We wanted him to be a one club player with the Sea Eagles and we spoke about that at length and how most of the standout players in the game have been one club players. That is a testament to the esteem in which we hold him and how important he is to club."

Nothing official yet but I think @brad mentioned it being as good as done (?) and he was both correct and firm on DCE for quite some time
Edit: I do hope we get Lussick. He was coming along nicely before Parra paid massive overs for him and tried to ruin him. He will improve as a person and as a player back at Manly
I think he must be because when Joe Kelly was on BSB this morning they were talking about a strong pack for next year and mentioned Myles and Lusick. Joe didn't correct them.
