Cherry-Evans declares he will be fit for Origin I in boost for Maroons
SMH - By Christian Nicolussi
May 5, 2019

In a big blow for the NSW Blues, incumbent Queensland No. 7 Daly Cherry-Evans has boldly declared: "I'll be fit for game one."

The Manly and likely new Maroons skipper underwent ankle surgery on Tuesday and since moved in with his in-laws to give himself every chance to recover without running the risk of an accidental injury setback inflicted by one of his three young daughters.

Cherry-Evans hopes to return for the round-11 clash against the Gold Coast Titans - the final NRL game before Origin teams are picked for the May 29 opener - but will more than back himself to go into the first-up Suncorp Stadium clash without another game.

The 30-year-old Queensland and Kangaroos halfback incumbent said he could have returned for Manly as early as next weekend had he avoided "tightrope surgery" on his right ankle, but wanted to make sure he was as stable as possible when he returned.

The meticulous approach to his recovery probably explains why he has barely missed a game since he debuted back in 2011 for the Sea Eagles.

Queensland coach Kevin Walters now has the luxury of shifting Michael Morgan back out to the centres.

Voluntarily moved in with his inlaws .
This is the first Ive heard about Daly's mental issues...

Glad that Chez took this time to surgically fix his ankle.

He has had these injuries before and worked through it.

When they showed him last week with the ice pack, his left ankle was also heavily bandaged

I'm glad I kept that image of the GC front page atrocity. 😎

It is now all over social media and people are realizing the personal atracks that this young player was subjected to in the media 😡

But the NSW Blues lock has so much respect for Cherry-Evans that he crossed enemy lines and sent his Manly teammate a congratulations text after hearing he had been made Queensland captain.

"To lead your state is a massive, massive honour," he said.

"I see all the extras he does each week, how mentally strong he is, that sort of thing.

Have to say typical Jake - doesn't matter what lines he crosses, he's all class

But in an exclusive column for The Courier Mail, Meninga claimed a shoulder injury was the reason Cherry-Evans lost his place in the squad.

"Defensively we felt he still wasn't right because of his injury. So we made the call to stick with Michael (Morgan as the utility player)," Meninga wrote.

"It really was that simple, regardless of all the rumours and innuendo around perceived personality clashes and team politics.

"None of the players ever had any problem with him or his desire to play for the Maroon jersey."

Cherry-Evans' cause wasn't helped by the fact the Maroons went onto win the 2016 and 2017 series in his absence.

He was finally recalled for Origin III last season, playing a leading role in an 18-12 victory at Suncorp as the Maroons avoided a 3-0 series loss to Brad Fittler's Maroons.

The Sea Eagles star has been sidelined with an ankle injury since Round 6 but will lead his state into battle on Wednesday night after replacing Greg Inglis as skipper.

Good article on Chez - a couple of insights into his captaincy at Manly.

Does anyone really expect Meninga to ever come out and say that there were certain players (one now a....uh...Ch.9 commentator) who didn't want him there and that this person in particular pushed for his club team mate to take the utility spot? Of course not.

Think about this. Last year when explaining why DCE got picked for the Kangaroos, Meninga said that they hadn't used him to his strengths in Origin which is why his performances were down and led to his axing from the side. And now he says it was a shoulder injury. Meninga's story on it keeps changing more than some change their Reg Grundies.

Personally I don't think we'll ever know the real truth. DCE has too much class to say anything and I don't expect the thicker than thieves hillbillies to ever talk, and if they did there would be more different versions than Dr. Seuss has books.

Love the post V8.... It is all a cover up. They all gave it to Chez and threw him under a bus, however, certain people have had to eat their words and quickly reverse the real reasons why Chez was out of favour for QLD. The universe works in mysterious ways, and now all those that bagged Chez, laughed, and ridiculed him, have no other choice but to support him and admire what an asset he is, that is if they are true QLD supporters and want the best for QLD.

I do believe JT was a major problem here with what happened to Chez, now he has the privilege to watch him live from the sidelines and keep his opinions to himself. Walters/Meninga, shouldn't have allowed this circus to go on.

Look forward to when DCE retires and releases his tell-all autobiography.

I know you're being sarcastc.....but damn that would be interesting. Not that many of those hillbillies up in Qld would like it because it would probably blow the roof off the image of some of their so-called stars.
