I'm not so sure dce won't get a massive carrot dangled In front of Him by the broncos, nor will I be surprised if he goes.
How are you so confident he is staying mozgramme ? (or at least not going north)
Pure, unadulterated wishful thinking. Haha!
I have said in the past that a very good mate of mine that is the head coach of a Qld Cup side, and is involved pretty heavily with the Qld SOO side (therefore, has spoken with Daly directly on the matter) believes he would return to Qld, if the money was right.
I just don't think DCE is that kind of a bloke. Lets think about it for a second. When the Bronco's table a fair dinkum offer, and they probably already have, the deal would probably be along the lines of, a huge salary, the captains role, and the opportunity to work with management to build a team around him in the coming future. In the old days, they would have dragged out the old, "Playing for a Qld side will guarantee you a spot in the SOO side" too. (Those days are long gone now thanks to Melbourne.)
Now DCE will weigh up what they offer. It all sounds great, except for the fact that it is all based on ifs, buts and maybe's. All of what they can offer, he already has here, minus the pressure of turning around the fortune of a struggling and ageing side, singlehandedly or suffering the ire of their fans. Their club is struggling because since Griffin took over, nothing has changed in their style of play. They play the same footy, week in week out, that they've played for the last 5 or 6 years. They have stagnated under Griffin and until they shake things up....well, good luck to them.
DCE should know how good he has it here, and I'm sure he does. He is surrounded by high class quality rep players. He plays beside a world class 5/8. He will have the opportunity to give his input concerning our young guys that are coming to grade, and I feel certain he will one day captain this great club.
So, in my mind, it will all come down to the mighty dollar and I truly believe that Daly is far too grounded, surrounded by too many smart people with his best interest at heart and above all, too loyal to walk away for money. While playing here he has won a Dally M Rookie of the year award, a Grand Final, Played for Qld, played for Australia. He's done it all, and he's done it in 3 years!!! I don't think he'll leave.
Well...here's hoping anyway
