DCE turned tonights game

[sheridanstand78]

I have been a critic of DCE over the last couple of years, mostly for his failure to control tight games.

Tonight I must say how great it was to see him make 2 clutch plays when we were behind and making too many mistakes, a 40/20 trademark kick followed by an inch perfect grubber to put a try on for Jorge.

After that he let the team around the paddock and took good options.

Great to see him play well and may it continue!

He was under more pressure than anyone, he had to stand up and he did. Hope he stays fit all season, he can do the job.

out did thurston tonight

How did hasting play, how was he used and how many minutes did he get?

 

[HappilyManly]

The poor kid has been under attack from the Manly clique since 2014 through no fault of his own.
Then lambasted by the Qld FOGs since 2015.

Really hope that the Team keeps building as Chez has talent to burn

DCE won a unanimous points decision over Thurston tonight.

How did hasting play, how was he used and how many minutes did he get?

He came on in the first half to replace trojobevic at fullback (hadn't to have a concussion test) and then utilised late in the game at hooker (scored a try at the death with support play) - didn't get too much time but I think he could be the perfect utility for us

Did well to clean up a kick in goal when he was thrust into fullback.

DCE had that kick, I think was a 40/20 ( couldn't see it with too many numb nuts in front of the screen) that required much more skill than Norman Bates lucky arse game changer against us 2 weeks ago.

Yep...I've been super critical and i'll stop short of saying he was brilliant tonight...but yeah he did something good and he needs to keep doing that kind of thing every week to be considered a top shelf half again.

Tonight was a good place to start. More of the same Daly.

Amazingly Daly looks good when the fowards play tough. I think there is a pattern there.

Well done DCE. Excellent game !

 

[robbiea]

He shines when he has the support of forwards laying the platform for him,The lack of forward aggression over the last few years has stymied his play...Hopefully we take plenty from this match and build on it.

Just goes to show if you don't have fwds making metres even the elite will struggle....DCE has had this problem for a while now

 

[Shells Eagles]

Absolutely game changing play - just wish everyone would now leave him alone . I know eveyone is entitled to voice their opionion however he a wonderful ambassador for Manly and deserves much more respect.

 

[MadMarcus]

Definitely his best game for a couple of years

And thurston struggled behind a beaten pack, weird huh.

The thing I liked too (besides his obvious good gameplay) was I noticed he was quick to encourage when things went bad or good for us. At one stage someone made a mistake, he was straight over giving them some encouragement, then when we scored he was one of the first there to congratulate. Now these things seem small, but as a captain they are crucial.
