DCE SOO career really dead

[MRW]

Seems a confirmation that DCE has definitely been black flagged for SOO....
personally don't mind as he can concentrate fully on Manly

From Foxsports
"Meanwhile dumped Broncos half Ben Hunt has also been invited to the Sanctuary Cove preparations along with Brisbane teammate Andrew McCullough.

Hunt, who was sensationally dropped to reserve grade last week by club coach Wayne Bennett, has been called into camp by Walters, who mentored the big money No. 7 in his previous role as Broncos assistant coach.
There is no suggestion that playmakers Cooper Cronk, Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Michael Morgan are in any doubt, rather the inclusion of Hunt and McCullough is a nod to the state’s future".

Looks like NSW is looking good for the next decade or so.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Its never over til its over. Ben hunt could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Better yet a scenario like the movie 'Alive' would be nice before game two..

Cherry's burned his bridges with many people.

What's that saying - cutting your nose off to spite your face. Qld's lose, Manly's gain.

 

[HappilyManly]

Less wear and tear on his body and set his family up for life

Chez 1,300,000 vs Qld 0

Just goes to show you how badly he's regarded in his own state.

This says it all
The QLD selectors are a bunch of.......

Yeah let's see how 'blacklisted' DCE is in a couple of years when the current spine of QLD is in retirement and they need an experienced playmaker.

Whilst anything can happen you would think that NSW are in a much better place than QLD at the moment.

• Hunt doesn't know how to win big games.
• Morgan relies alot on JT. Occasionally has a brilliant game, but the Cows win-loss ratio without JT speaks volume. He isnt a game winner, he is more a Blake Green type player.
• Ash Taylor has potential but will never reach it under the titans.
• Milf is probably the best option, has the potential to be the next QLD no.6/7, but still needs a halves partner.
• Corey Norman seems to get overlooked, probably because of his off field behaviour.
• Elgey isnt SOO material and Munster isnt a Half.

At the moment DCE and Milf are on par as the best QLD halves after JT and Cronk.

Whilst I feel sorry for DCE as I am sure he would love to play for QLD. Means he plays an extra game for Manly, gets the 2 extra rest weeks and doesn't risk injury.

Win for us Manly/Blues fans.

Don't get too excited.
This will be just to run opposed sessions against the Qld defense. Hunt will be imitating the NSW halves.
Nothing else on it.

100% right.

 

[Shoe1]

Qld origin is for Melbourne and Queensland teams.

If you play for a Sydney team or ex-arl teams you are up against it to get picked.

It's driven by agendas and politics, always has, always will be.

Yeah all 10 Titans members...

 

[eaglebuzz]

Good for Manly, good for NSW.

QLD miss out on the next best half after Thurston and Cronk, NSW get to face a weaker QLD team, Manly get the benefit of having a star half with a point to prove.

 

[Harvies elbow]

They aren't that important.
Mal will make their mind up when he picks him for the Kangaroos when Thurston's gone.
They won't get a say in it when the clique is not there.

 

[The Who]

Could it simply be logistics? Hunt is a lot closer to Sanctuary Cove than Cherry is on the northern Beaches. A short drive from Brisbane rather than an air flight from Sydney.

Word just in:

DCE available to play for NSW.

I'd love it to be Kevin giving Wayyyyne a big F U for the Milford thing before game 1.
