The Daly Cherrygraph

I am so scared for DCE, I don’t think I can watch the origin. He either has to have a blinder or he will be crucified yet again, and the backflip will be mentioned at least 1000 more times next week. Tallis wrote him off last week in the CM saying there’s no way he should be picked, look at where Manly are on the table( I truly hate GT). I think they’ve thrown hm under the bus, into a crap Qld team, to play a dead rubber so they can say we gave u one final chance and u failed, that’s it. I think they’re hoping he fails. I’m sure slater, or Munster or McCullough won’t get blamed at all.
I don’t know if yoos get sportsday with Gary belcher on the radio, but he said his biggest worry was whether the Suncorp crowd booed DCE. He stuck up for DCE and didn’t bag him at all, hoping he has a good game to shut up all the critics once and for all. If they boo DCE, that’s it I’m out, Qld origin can get f###ed
 
Can we please show Parker more respect.

Can we please show muppets more respect? I like muppets.

I'm a very marginal Blues supporter (basically I don't give a **** about SOO, buy me a beer and I'll change sides) but I hope DCE scores 5 tries next Wednesday and shoves it up the Courier Mail and the rest of the Qld cabal who are setting him up for a fall. He's been handed a poisoned chalice and everybody knows it. Best of luck buddy.
 
This time, Cherry-Evans can take control. It’s his team to run. His kicking game and game management can perfectly complement five-eighth Cameron Munster’s free-spirited play.

Hmmmmm, should we tell them ??? Nah stuff it, let the banjo players find out for themselves.
 
The NSW halves behind DCE's Maroons rise
After three years on the Origin sidelines Daly Cherry-Evans is ready to succeed as a Queensland Maroons playmaker and he credits three former NSW halves for helping take his game to the next level.

The 29-year-old halfback has been given a clear assignment by coach Kevin Walters for game three of the Holden State of Origin series at Suncorp Stadium and that is to give the side more direction, while playing his natural instinctive game.

Think of the Maroons great playmakers of the past – from Wally Lewis and Allan Langer through to Darren Lockyer, Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk – and their success has been founded on passion for the jersey, preparation, skill and tactical nous.

Cherry-Evans acknowledges his three Manly coaches Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey and now Trent Barrett, all former Blues halves, for inculcating the qualities in him that have led to his recall to the Queensland side since last playing in 2015.

"I have been spoiled for riches with Des, Geoff and now Trent," Cherry-Evans told NRL.com.

"The best thing I got out of Tooves was understanding how important the club should mean to you, and how every time you wear the jersey you represent more than just yourself.

"He certainly ingrained in me what that club stands for and how proud a club it is. Every time I put on the Manly jersey I know that Geoff Toovey was a big part of why I go out there and play as passionately as I do."

One of the major reasons Cherry-Evans has been recalled for Queensland is because he is not just the individual star he was in his early days. He has become a game manager and improved his tactical nous, and seven years after last being coached by Hasler he still applies lessons he learned from the Sea Eagles legend.

"I got a completely different take from Des to Tooves," Cherry-Evans said.

"Des gave me the structure early on in my career around preparing well tactically for game day. There are things I learned from Des that I still do to this day around preparing for the opposition.

"He knew that whatever the opposition was doing, he was doing more. He could make his players go out and understand that they had prepared better than their opponents and therefore given themselves every chance to win."

Barrett is young as a coach, but wise to what is required in the modern game, and another major influence on where Cherry-Evans is now at.

"Trent is recently retired and still has a good grasp on how the game is being played at the moment and the skills and tactics needed to win football games.

"I've taken a lot out of Trent's mindset to football and that is rubbing off on me. He cares so much about his players and how the club is going. That really rubs off on the playing group. We love playing for our coach because he is a great person."

The way Cherry-Evans has conducted himself in Maroons camp this week suggests that caring ethos of Barrett's has been embraced by the Sea Eagles skipper.

He has been open and frank with the media and has brought energy and enthusiasm to his interactions at training and in camp that has given the Maroons a lift at just the right time.

There is a feeling that Cherry-Evans' time has come for Queensland and it is a vibe that he can also sense after last being in camp in 2015.

"As soon as I walked into camp it has just felt different to previous years. It really has," he said.

"It is exciting that I have so much support around me, not that I didn't have that previously, but with a couple of older heads gone it is a completely different dynamic around here.

"I have come in three years later, and all of a sudden I am the old guy in camp. When I first came in I was the young guy looking up to all the older guys but now I can feel myself being the old guy looking around at all the younger fellas."

The Cherry-Evans of three years ago is not the player or man we see today. He is also convinced that his development will be of benefit to his team as the Maroons aim to avoid a clean sweep.

"I really am excited and I feel as though what I have been able to build at club level around leadership should be able to rub off in camp and hopefully I can make a slight improvement on the side moving forward and get a result on Wednesday," Cherry-Evans said.

"Three years is a long time in rugby league so I have had a lot of time to think and develop. It is crazy to think that people have the same question marks over my footy, and I think it is crazy to think that I haven't developed over three years as a footy player that's for sure."
 
Pleased for D C E that he has been given the opportunity again and that he can go well but personally based on form and consistency for this season think that Ash Taylor was more deserving and i again stress this season :s form and not past seasons . Will be interesting if he does stand out whether Manly :s game plan then should be twigged a bit to get the best out of him consistently at club level . Manly have had a fairly well performed forward pack in most games this season so this has not been a reason .
Ash Taylor ? Are you serious feathered friend !!!
Ashes to Ashes dust to dust when QLD are desperate for a win then DCE is a must !!!

Ash Taylor will be QLD #7 next year @BOZO for sure. It's all you hear about up here, save his confidence looking at a 0-3 score and start him fresh next year, no matter what. (l am a Qlder and want DCE there long term but pffft at the end of the day it's all about premierships, and that my fine friend is where we come together for the mighty Sea Eagles!)
 
I didn't know it,
But Bozo is a lyrical poet.
We all come on this sacred Manly Sea eagle site to escape the hustle and bustle of life and focus on our beloved Sea eagles and have a bit of fun along the way .
I must confess though , whether I agree with all on here or not I find them all amusing Characters . Every one on here never ceases to amaze !!!

I disagree feathered friend about Ash . I don't believe what I hear, I believe what i see and I see that the QLDrs have turned to who they believe will save them from an embarrassing 3 loss. DCE is the man
 
I reckon DCE is being 'gifted' a dead rubber game as 'proof' that the selectors 'don't' have a bias against him Bozo....
In my opinion the guy is on a hiding to nothing and nothing short of a MIRACLE game will stop him from being overlooked next year for a 'youthful approach' with a combination of Ash Taylor, Morgan and Munster (if Ponga is at Fullback still)
Hope I'm wrong but I reckon Cherry has been served up a poisoned chalice... Im even tempted to support Qld as i shudder to think what a big loss and the resultant weight of blame from the media might do to his form for Manly...

I disagree . The QLDers are proud men and their no 1 motive is to avoid an embarrassing 3 nil whitewash at the hands of NSW .
The no7 Jumper belongs to DCE and he will make it his own .
 
Game three is about building for next year. If DCE has a blinder, and I think he'll tear out of the blocks like Ponga did in game 2, why wouldn't Qd consider him next year?? The only people that will possibly lay blame on DCE for a loss will be the media...like the NSW media did with Jamie Lyon (did you believe what they wrote about Jamie? I didn't)

If you read the papers and swallow the crap that they write, well.....

I would rather speak to the people in the know personally, and take their word for it. The ball is definitely in DCE's court and I think he'll ace it. This is a new era in origin for Qld. No Cronk, Smith and soon no Slater...the old boys club is dead. If Cherry wants it badly enough...it's there for the taking!
