Is Mestrov really our Messiah?

[Frogz]

I'm so sick of the media trying to spin this up to get the fans to turn on Mestrov, I honestly think not re-signing DCE was the right call, given the money he would have wanted.

The only error they made was making a real time counter offer in the media, that was foolish. But who cares...

Just move on and leave it be.

Mate I think the real time offers was a beat up also by Fox.

 

[Waz13]

May well be the case, although I still think the Roosters have [paper]bagged their man. But at this stage, who f***ing cares? He's leaving at the end of this season, but (at least for now) he's here for the rest of the season. He can put himself out to stud in 2026 for all I care, but for 2025, his aim should be to be win a premiership for the club he claims he loves and is proud to captain.

Far be it from me to use his own words against him, but according to Cherry, the whole reason he's gone about this the way he has is so the club can go in its own direction for 2026 and he can sort out his own future in the background. So if he'd just shut up about it, and everybody at the club would shut up about it, we can resume our normal programming (ie, a year of promise ultimately derailed by injury, infighting, and the lack of a proper dummy half).

Well put and totally agree.

I agree ,from what we can tell from information supplied is the club made its offer to dce management around Monday lunch time. When DCE hit channel nein Mestrov etc has probably called FOX to say we have made an offer already ,at which point FOX and the geniei on 360 has translated that to Mestrov and Penn make desperate offer to DCE live on NRL 360
Anyways so long as dce just gets on with going to the big dance with the one what brought him, then what he does next year is his business

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Yawn. I’m over him. Just play football that is what you are paid the big bucks for!

 

[Brookie1973]

Manly at First Sight?

Manly Survivor - CEO vs Captain. With NRL 360 as the tribal council.

 

[Peter C]

Thus is Cronk 2.0

Perhaps, but this is a much weaker Roosters side than when Cronk was playing, can't see the addition of just DCE winning them the comp

 

[Peter C]

If Delta Charlie-Echo joins the Cronksters, will Victor Charlie-Echo join the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Sydney’ as Terry Biviano 2.0?

Mrs ‘The Count’ is getting a little long in the tooth.

Mrs Count dresses like she still thinks she's thirty

Will be a different team next year with the spine of DCE, Walker, Robson & Teddy. Won’t be surprised if Manu came back too

 

[bob dylan]

Funny that both Webster and Crawley were bagging Manly all night (again), then they all said no one knows the truth, both parties are lying. What a circus NRL360 & Fox Sports have turned this into. Obviously got their nose out of joint at the Weirdo scoop. Webster is terrible on this show.

However they said the journos are all telling the truth? Its just some them are getting told lies.

And yes Webster is terrible.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yawn. I’m over him. Just play football that is what you are paid the big bucks for!

Exactly , and it’s wishful thinking but I wish we’d move on as well.

It’s just going around , and around , and more around every day.

The journos will keep punching out their made up **** , and us Silvertailers will bitch , argue , agree & disagree.

**** me , my message to the Dollar Chaser is this

You’re still being paid the big bucks , so just play football , tell us after your last game where you’re going and otherwise SHUT THE **** UP!

Also remember that if he went to them and is on their cap at $400K or less, they will have heaps of cap space left to fill the team.

I'm hoping that was part of the club's motivation for going public with the $750k figure. If he ends up on the roosters' books for anything less than $800k the salary cap may as well be wrapped up once and for all

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Actually all this fuss from DCE has resulted in his worth increasing for the purposes of the NRL. Not possible for another club to sign him for less than 1.1 million now.

Clubs looking for quality players are not fussed about how players play the media
They are fussed how they play on the field . On the field DCE is a rare Elite class halfback and his Million Dollar Value it is all about supply and demand

 

[Tragic Eagle]

My point was that if a club signs him for 500K then everyone will know it is a rort.

 

[Rocky]

Really happy that Mestrov can see that 2 more years of DCE is not getting us a sniff of a premiership.

It hasn't for 12 years

To be fair the Jake and Tom contracts are more of an issue than DCE right now, but we need a reset and letting DCE walk is the first step forward.

Also letting all the Turbo boys go would help our salary cap immensely too. Time for a complete cleanout and start buying the right players to balance this team for the future.
