And sadly this isn't the first time Manly have stuffed up with DCE's contract.....smh.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Did he, by any chance, say that his manager NOT HIM, had reviewed the initial discussions held back in January 2025 where a position was placed to DCE to consider for 2026 and 2027?

He said he only just recently learned of a 1.5 million dollar deal over two years to stay at the club which came via the NRL 360 show.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

He says he and manly have been talking about his future since December. He and manly knew what the contract was going to look like, so stop the manly didn't make an offer rubbish. The rug just got pulled.

 

[Coops manly]

Right here… club making first offer tonight is f*cking embarrassing for Manly…

That's what dce tells you

 

[bob dylan]

Always a effing drama with this idiot. He is completely full of BS his word salad is proof of that obviously another Club has come in with a massive offer and he’s pretending that it’s somehow Manly‘s fault. He’s an absolute dog of a human. I’d be happy if he left now he’s a jerk. robbed the club for years on a ridiculous contract. He is such a liar, its rubbish you’ve got another deal just admit it.

Yeah hard to disagree with any of this.

Pity he didnt do it last year so we could have kept Humphrys.

Next he will play Origin.

Shat on at every stage. I never liked him.

Decision was made in December and club said they would not make an offer til another club did… no other club made an offer…

 

[Darknstormy]

Awesome 1 down three to go..lol

 

[Revilo85]

He's saying that both parties were expecting to have this conversation later in the season, but he's doing it in the media now..

 

[frank stokes]

That's what dce tells you

Yep and I will take him at his word… he seems bemused by the fact an offer was made today…

No way it happened like that @frank stokes What a load of ****.

Interesting

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Hang on earlier on nrl on fox it was stated the penns & maestrov have tabled dce a 2 year deal.The fox panel stated they received phone calls from the 2.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Seeya. Should never have extended him last time. Best news I've read on here for years.

Let's get on with the process of working towards actually winning a premiership now. He had 10 years on good coin to deliver one and came up short. No point in prolonging that agony for another year or two.

 

[frank stokes]

Sorry, you know better?

If club wanted him it would be done… most contracts are signed the September of the year b4 contract expires…

Manly wanted to negotiate hard and they have screwed the pooch… anyways, done now…

 

[eaglebuzz]

There has to be some aspect of this that he's not sharing. It makes zero sense to say he wants to keep his options open but not have Manly as one of the options.

The other thing here is that he's definitely angling for a post career media role with Nine. Giving them this "exclusive" access.

 

[XV-1]

Goooooooooone !!

 

[joeboy]

This guys is not intelligent, he is just smarter than most footballers. Unnecessarily verbose, uses words incorrectly and looks like he enjoys the smell of his own farts while trying to look and sound dignified but really just looking smug

 

[Mal Cochrane]

He doesn't know what he's doing next year yet, but he still has a passion for the game and wants to play on.

He just doesn't have the passion to play on with manly it seems

 

[Ohgeez]

I don’t get why people are surprised he wasn’t officially offered a new deal. He has literally been saying for months he’s considering retirement, why offer him a deal if his future in the game was undecided?

 

[AndWeDon'tCare]

He said he only just recently learned of a 1.5 million dollar deal over two years to stay at the club which came via the NRL 360 show.

Of course he did, that's exactly how it's played out.

He's obviously read and studied the Art of War.

I'm not watching the show but please, do not, in any way, shape or form believe that "no offer was made"...

The offers made were made, they weren't to his liking, so in the negotiation stakes, he's played them off a break however, it's completely scandalous for him to say (allegedly) that he didn't receive an offer.

He didn't receive an offer that he liked.

I'll keep my powder dry but if this is keeps up, I'm happy to contact certain people and have them understand that his manager was very active throughout the negotiations.

I'm just waiting until they use the coach v player fued as another reason.
