Bulldogs have pulled out of race for DCE.

They will go hard for Galvin

Fun fact: no one played halfback that night, someone just ran around in disguise.

And the actual half we had on the field that night, did nothing at all. He literally just stuck to the left side of the field. Whether he was under instructions or not I do not know. But that night, Brooks had the chance to show his wares and TBH, he didn't.

I was surprised the Bulldogs were even mentioned as a possibility. There was no chance that was going to happen.

Reported by Hooper so take it as another media speculation but DCE management allegedly requested $1.1mil/yr for 2 years from Manly.

“Tell him he’s dreaming”

I still don’t understand why any club would want to sign a 37 year old halfback. The media has been blowing smoke up his arse.

 

[frank stokes]

If you were to be honest that was just a Manly Silvertails thing. At least 3/4 of the coaches in the NRL would have taken DCE no questions asked. Would the rubbish years you speak of be the Trent Barrett years by any chance?
He won a premiership. Won a Clive Churchill in a GF we were robbed in. Played in a side that was pretty ordinary at times. Captained QLD and led them to series wins.
I'd say we were lucky to have him but perhaps that's just me.

We have at least one spoon without him I reckon…

Gus would have had him if he could, maybe they have found out he has signed elsewhere..

I think they will too, Galvin is a working player, they are building their side around all effort and energy and he brings that in spades.

All this talk about there being a "race" for his services is hilarious. He has been signed, sealed and delivered, almost certainly with the Roosters. The idea that he's "making up his mind", and that his services will somehow be available to every club in the NRL - with the one massive exception of Manly - is pure fiction.

110%

Dollar Chaser Evans is the absolute master as this **** , he’s played it beautifully.

Good riddance

Check my post Waz...page 560 😁😉

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Dogs out. Hmm. Be funny if no club offered him more than the Manly offer he rejected!!

 

[Dion Johnson]

It’s been a few days and I feel a wrench in the gut when I remember this has happened. My mind’s seriously blown and my resolve is being immensely tested. I know it’s only footy but geez I’m a tragic!

Listen to Jake speak today, that will cheer you up..

 

[Dion Johnson]

If the club rated Humphreys as a halfback, they wouldn't have been trying to turn him into a hooker / dummy half. Especially, regardless of anything that's going on now, knowing DCE's age and that he wouldn't be forever.

I think they had him playing hooker to be the 14 on the pine, a few clubs do that with promising halves to get them into the 17.

Panthers did the same with Trent Toleau playing seven tonight.

Yep thats what its all about. Blokes like Jakey.

lol gotta be quick in the DCE thread @Rackets

 

[mickqld]

And , hello Roosters

Dollar Chasing Evans

Gone , **** him , let’s move on

Still doesn't add up. IF he wanted out early last year then clearly Manly knew we wouldn't be keeping him past this year. Then why the fu*k did we so readily let Humphreys walk out the door. Has our management/recruitment incompetence level excelled past previous years or is there more to this saga.

The talk about DCE going to another club to lead them to a
GF win , Let’s be real he hasn’t led Manly year after year for a GF , yes Manly have had there issue’s . All clubs do not so Penrith or Melb and they have played a few , But to put it out there that DCE will bring them premiership glory is ridiculous

 

[mickqld]

Fu*k we're all going to be eating a massive serve of humble pie if he actually retires. 🤪

 

[Waz13]

Sad to say , but I don’t really care , the season effected was derailed , after game 3.

We’ll go okay, but we won’t be top 4

Well it’s early days but the panthers are certainly looking like slipping down the ladder in 25.

We certainly are but that ain’t happening
