The Daly Cherrygraph

The bravery of Cherry-Evans playing so well in Origin I just five weeks after ankle surgery has been mentioned this week by the players as an inspirational act. It also enhanced his own leadership credentials. The Manly captain’s calmness and air of confidence has had a ripple effect through the entire squad.

"He's been instrumental in everything that he has done for the side. He was particularly inspirational in Game One coming back from the injury after five weeks out," Walters said.

"He's the perfect captain for this group to bring them together…very articulate, very smart and best of all he's a great footballer. We haven't seen the best of him at this level yet, we will see that on Sunday."

The Slater/smith/Hodges/cronk crew couldn’t hold a candle to the superior intellect of dce. Possibly that’s why he was on the outer. He is 3 steps ahead in every conversation.

Well that and of course DCE was instrumental in everything he did for the team, he did it.

The quote should be that he was instrumental in all the team did!

Bit of a worry, talk about DCE having an ankle injury after the SOO2. Hope its not bad.

Reports prior to game were shoulder and ankle soreness

DCE is on pretty modest coin compared to those other imposters. That deal although big at the time was always going to be pretty reasonable at the back end.

I don't know about that - weren't they reporting it as a minimum $10mil deal over 8 years ?? I'd be very surprised if he's not getting paid north of a $1mil a year - and I'd also be very surprised if it wasn't indexed to cap increases so he holds a percentage of the available wage spend every year. Don't wish to get into an argument about whether he is worth it or not but I doubt he is on "modest" coin.

I'd have thought shoulder after all the defense he had to do. Played ok considering his forwards were woeful.

'Modest count' refers to how much of the Cap Chez takes up.

He has TPAs, marquee player allowance etc that make up his contract

All high profile players have companies queueing to sign them to their brands.

It's the no names or the high maintenance players who get 100% of their contract out of the Cap monies

So in saying that, how much of his salary is counted to our cap?

No idea and I don't understand why Fans worry about roster management. Completely outside of our control

Let's not forget the magical Testimonial Match monies that Turdy annoints random Clubs with

His shoulder must’ve got better during the game then.

SOO Captain reflections 🙁

Great effort to equalize but Maroons were beaten on the buzzer in true Origin style

Worth every penny. What an asset to our club. A real leader and match winner. The best half in the game

I saw him prowling on both sides of the ruck tonight. Is this recent or a one off? Helping out as Dylan finds his feet? Has always done it?

I should pay attn more.

And well done DCE. What a champ on and off the field.

Chez' game changed after SOO.

I noticed his many dummy half stints especially in our 20m on early tackles. Then he goes wider for the 4th and 5th tackles
