There is no question that DCE was fatigued today, physically and mentally, yet gutsed it out and you can never question his commitment to the club, a well earnest rest soon to come.
Yes and that’s what annoyed me a bit , the comments made about him during the game.

It was clear he was well off his game , in hindsight I think he should have been rested but that’s Daly for you , Manly comes first.

Luckily it didn’t impact the result too much but his critics were pretty harsh , and not forgiving at all of the fact he’d just played in one of the most torrid Origin games of the last 5 years.

He would have been physically, and mores to the point , mentally , very fatigued.

A big reason he was not rested would be the bye coming up after the Chooks game. You can bet without that bye, he would have been rested. Also worth noting he did not play against the Knights and had a four day turnaround from Origin (which happens when a team plays Sunday into a Thursday night anyway). So, I think his load is being well managed.

I think he was mentally very down , and that is truly understandable.

Quite a few of D C E 's poor options had not much to do with fatigue , just ill judged plays and a few in the i st half when fatigue would have hardly been a major factor .
Plenty of other S O O players backed up on the weekend and seemed to have not much difficulty playing to a reasonable standard .
Not to say that D C E would not have been feeling some ill effects from last Wednesday and of course credit for backing up but a heap of other players did also of course so not as if it was some type of badge of honor in his case
Anyway, can also concede that he not that young any more but just saw some of his options against the Titans reminiscent of his not so good playing ways which has cost the side over time
More then capable of bouncing back and the side needs it also of course

The good thing is that whilst DCE was not at his best, those around him rolled up their sleeves got into the grind and then rose to the occasion. DCE looked busted and lacking confidence. He will bounce back.

Well here it it. Its time

Forget all the past. Our halfback, experienced, decorated, its Time

Tomy, brooks , simpkins and DCE. Spine good
Speed out wide and depth performing
Forwards. Doing ok giving halves opportunity every week. Maybe not for 80 but they offer opportunities
Defence, improving
Browns on field leadership

Position 5 th playing 4th
next week BYE, chance to lick wounds, players return

its DCE ‘s game. He needs to run his forwards, play direct and guide us into this commanding position 5 weeks out.

big chance to prove he is worth the patience by carrying the team on his back when its needed and when all of the excuses have gone.

But if its touch footy and shovel it to Tommy then what we have there people is shortcuts

DCE looks tired and in need of a rest. Most other clubs have the luxury of being able to rest their stars after an origin game. I expect this to be another tough week for DCE with the likes of Crighton running at him all day. This feels like a bridge too far this week vs Chooks.

I expect DCE/us to bounce back post BYE. It has come at a good time with injuries/suspensions etc.

How Long were you writing media releases for Joe Biden. ?

good to have you on board.

Sorry if its too sarcastic, was trying to make a funny

If DCE Is Knackered why should we be worried about an equally knackered angus he asks. Angus went harder and got a sore neck.

A couple of saunas, some cucumber on the eyes, the hopoate watermelon drink and his general amazingness and the fact he is long due to stamp himself on manlys campaign when it matters

We dont need field goal amazing we need direction amazing. **** me stupid i would still take field goal amazing this week though……..just saying.

They say the first 1000 is always the toughest

I like to thank my mum,

Support Global Peace and ADHD puppies

The usual suspects, and DCE for the opportunity
