Chez gave his decision before Foran. At that time, despite the rumours (and Ryan's great detective work), the team were supposedly going to build around Foz. That didn't happen, so DCE will have a team built around him. All things being equal, in terms of legacy what would matter more to DCE, the MANLY Daly Cherry-Evans era or the Gold Coast DCE era?
Getting Myles and Lussick reduces potential doubts DCE might have about our forwards depth.
And it's not like he would be changing his mind on Brisbane or South Sydney who have half the league world and their pets as supporters.
And seriously, with modern media, all someone would have to do is film and release a youtube clip of a cat in a miniature rabbitohs jumper playing the piano and twirling a ball of wool at the same time just after the announcement, and any DCE backflip story would be halfway down the page before you blinked.😉
Hope he stays.
