I do not agree that the Incomparable immortal made a mistake feathered friend
At the time of the DCE signing elite halfbacks were as rare as chickens teeth and was chased hard by other clubs
Halfback as you know is a critical part of the spine and by locking an elite player on long term deal provides the team with stability and comradery
I am in favour of paying elite players what they deserve and DCE is that player that will be part of our next premiership winning spine under Des
Manly News at the time of his contract.....
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Chairman Scott Penn said the long term deal was befitting of a player of Daly’s stature in the game.
“Daly is the calibre of player that the Club can continue to build a premiership winning culture around,” Penn said.
“Daly has already played in 2 Grand Finals for the Club and won a Clive Churchill medal. He is at the top of his game and this contract reflects how valuable he is to the Sea Eagles and how important he will be for our future success.”
“We are very confident that this signing will be the tipping point for the Sea Eagles future recruitment plans.”
CEO Joe Kelly said the re-signing of Cherry-Evans was a massive boost for the Club.
“Today is a wonderful and historic moment for the Sea Eagles, our sponsors, members and supporters. Daly is one of the best halves in the game and has a long-term representative career in front of him at both State and National level,” Kelly said.
i too beleive players and in fact all people should be paid for there contributions. He is a good player, no where near great and he should get a good return
Forgive me if the exact numbers are not correct
Manly offered chez 800 k but stuffed him around
Then we offered him 1.25 to backflip
He had not got any better , his worth went up only as a lure and he has not really improved or worked on the big ticket items. He is still an 800 man.
Chez not only has not matured to be the leader the team needs in Term of kicking and patience on field, he does provide other qualities , but he shows absolutely no intention of doing so , continually trotting out the line that he needs someone else to do that. Would he be that shameless if he were playing for a contract every 2 seasons.I think not. We say this about other players. Why is he exempt
Blake green to run the team on 350 k
Foran to run the team on similar
Expecting the club to find a game manager on a pittance is not a long term strategy to build the success you speak of but we are contuinually looking for it because we lack it. Getting enigmatic halfbacks that run the ball , back up and throw the odd face ball is far easier that employing or even finding a game manager
we bag the roosters but they knew mitchell pearce lacked the tools no matter how stacked the team they put around him
We can not do that due to his contract. Cherry is part of a winning team but he needs more partners than the greats of the game to bring success, yet he is paid as a great of the game, not just in some manly supporters eyes.
The bay city rollers were idolised , but not as quality musicians , but they still had steadfast fans that idolised them . While they were a fad there are still some that love them
