Definitely recall Des filling in on the wing at the latter stages of one S O O game and could well have been on his debut gameDes played wing for NSW on his debut too I think?

FFS Bozo.... really?!We did not know Jamal is Playing for Manly Next week
I presume you will be cheering for Jamal when Manly Plays the Raiders again this season ?
Very premature Greetings indeed
This should have been settled long ago by Mestrov as he was Accountable
But He did not have the Foresight like competent Ceo,s do
The DCE Contracts Negotiations by Mestrov Dragged on and on and on
I think it's turned out exactly like Mestrov wanted - we're rid of DCE & have a solid new halfback signed to replace him at half the price, freeing up salary cap to improve areas we're lacking in, such as middle forwards.This should have been settled long ago by Mestrov as he was Accountable

DCE's the one who aired his dirty laundry in public, not Mestrov. Mestrov acted totally professionally all throughout.
We can move on now.

He will be under uncle nickDCE is on 1.4 mill? 🤔 😂
He will be under uncle nick
Cash money too.If he is, who would blame him for departuring. Double what Mestrov offered him, and that was with long service allowance.
That' the only part you have an issue with? LOLDCE is on 1.4 mill? 🤔 😂
Des was my favourite player back in the day, just because he was so wholehearted, 100% effort. Tooves very similar, and it really is a struck match between them for me. DCE third all time in my view, but I am going off him more each day.One old fart for another old fart, not 3yrs please hopefully there's a performance bases going on after 2yrs. I don't think JF has anymore than 2yrs left in him, not everyone can play as long as DCE or Cliffy.
Halfback topic: Des was good only thing I didn't like about him is he can't tackle as well as Tooves. He's not as small and short as our other halfs like Bozo, Tooves, Blakes, Cliffy Orford, Kimmorley etcs but majority of the time he tackles he seems to jump up in the air with his knees which now days would b a send off or bin. But Des was a great runner, like a greyhound in broken play, imagine Turbo, Saab, Koula backing up TRY-TIME. My pick Tooves tough as nail
We've done pretty well with our veterans. Physio team have been able to keep TKO, Brown, and DCE all playing quite consistently at 33, 32 and 36.One old fart for another old fart, not 3yrs please hopefully there's a performance bases going on after 2yrs. I don't think JF has anymore than 2yrs left in him, not everyone can play as long as DCE or Cliffy.

What I love most about DCE more than Tooves & Des is all the winning field goal to win games for us also he can kick goals, don't think I've ever seen Des & Tooves kick one can't remember. Both Des & Tooves great runners of the ball but that might be because of Cliffy's magic, DCE had no one as good. Also Des & Tooves can't kick in general play everything is on Cliffy but for toughness and 100% effort it's Tooves. He'll go in head first into Sironen, Harragons, Lazarus etcs, chopping them down around the legs & rib cage sometime knocking himself out on there knees, playing with a bandage most of his career. So anyone who played in those era is bloody tough.Des was my favourite player back in the day, just because he was so wholehearted, 100% effort.

He doesn’t , he’ll keep it up until cows come homeIm not sure Bozo knows how to move on.
They’ll have signed him for three years to get him , good for the player , good for Manly to have a recognised half for the next two years whilst we develop the youngsters.One old fart for another old fart, not 3yrs please hopefully there's a performance bases going on after 2yrs. I don't think JF has anymore than 2yrs left in him, not everyone can play as long as DCE or Cliffy.
