The dick rates himself- thinks he has all the news and got scooped on the scoop- I reckon tooves just did him right overI love it that Kent and most of the MSM are screaming blue murder. This is exactly what our team needs to unite behind DCE.
The Silvertails are back baby. Nobody likes us, and I love it.
Fun fact. Thats 1 more game than unbiased articles he's written.Eels legend. Played 1 game..
There were reports throughout that DCE had reassured the Tits he was coming, so someone is telling porky pies. Don't tell me it's the media making up stuff again..?http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...ing-of-nrl-round-13-rule-20150602-ghf9gw.html
"Annesley was the NRL's chief operating officer when the rule, the brainchild of former salary cap auditor Ian Schubert, was implemented by head office."
As Annesley knows as well as anyone, the rule was brought in so clubs had a chance to retain their own players who might be tempted by offers from rival clubs.
The whole point of a cooling off period is that you are not bound by the initial agreement. You are not breaking your bond by changing your mind, your initial agreement can only be conditional under the NRL's own rules.
Annesley confirmed on TV tonight that DCE had not been contacting the Titans to assure them everything was fine. He didn't mislead anyone. On the contrary, if anything his carefully worded comments each time the media questioned him made it obvious he would be interested to see if Manly would come up with an offer.
The Titans always knew the rule. They knew the risk. They tried to pressure DCE with bully tactics by coach Neil and others prattling about 'a man's word' and 'his handshake', when they knew full well that their deal was always subject to Manly coming back with a better offer.
If they let their captain and their 5/8 go that is no-one's fault but their own.
I do have sympathy for Titans fans but not because DCE reneged, I have sympathy for them because their club and its management is a farce.

I guarantee the people questioning Daly's honour would do the same thing if they had signed a contract that had a cooling off period, say like buying a house, and the better and bigger house next door went up for sale and was a better deal.
Would they say........ Nah I'm a man of honour......I wont exercise my right of pulling out of the deal and getting the better house
He was just on BSB saying the way he went about it was wrong blah blah blah, and that's fair enough. However, a Manly fan rang in questioning the number of negative Manly stories the tele runs and he lost his ****. Ripped into league players in general saying they whinge about the media but "we pay their salary, without us they're nothing!". That was a long enough now to draw, but he then said without the media players would be council workers, labourers and a number of other occupations, implying they are of no worth. Wow!
Here's a tip champ, without the league players you write about, and the council workers, labourers etc that buy your paper, you don't have a job.
Its the Tall Poppy Syndrome with all these Commentators 😎Haven't minded Kent this year but saw him on 360 and heard him on BSB and he really is quite unbalanced on this. He seems to have taken it very personally. I really can't figure it. Odd.
