The Daly Cherrygraph

DCE is a good defender ... when his heart is in the match.

His heart stopped beating some weeks/months ago.

What we’re seeing out there now is an AI creation.

I don’t understand all this criticism of DCE now appearing regularly in this thread. What were you people watching for the last 6-7 years ? This isn’t a 2025 thing. It’s been obvious for a long time that he doesn’t have the ability to lead us to a premiership. Which in itself is ok, other than we were stupid enough to sign him up as THE highest paid player in the game which hamstrung our ability to put enough talent around him to make up for his shortcomings. Result of which was 10 years of mediocrity and DCE banking plenty of cash for going through the motions.

Should have cut him loose 2 years ago when we had the chance, but now the time has finally come I can’t wait.

I started a thread years ago saying we have the worst halfback in the NRL. I could see that this bloke would have a few very good games followed by a lot of ordinary games. A halfback who is getting a mil a season should be able to close out games but failed miserably on many occasions.

BTW I posted that thread in 2018

This bloke needs to take ownership of the performances. He can't seem to lead or organise the team around the park. For all the big dollars he's being paid we're not getting much return. Everyone will come out and say it's because he hasn't got a decent no6. Other halfbacks have done much better than DCE.

Agree DCE can defend, and it is noticeable when it happens cause it chalk and cheese

Maybe he's a projected Hologram.

I can’t wait to see $CE take on another first class halfback and come out again on top against Adam Doueihi. He really is benchmarking his own decline.

you nailed it mate, so sad that ordinary people can see DCE shortcomings from years back , however our highly paid managment cannot ???

 

[Dion Johnson]

A lot has been said about the clubs retention and recruitment and some comments are definitely on the mark, however the club got this one correct last season where they didn’t go all out to sign him, thank goodness that the reactive consideration to resign him earlier this season failed, based on attitude and effort Evan’s defence is getting found out along with his skills with the ball.

Kudos to the club on their earlier stance with him.

Absolutely he is a great defender. This pile on from fans and the media doesn't take into account the amount of space around cherry when these tackles were missed. The inside defender didn't bother getting across and there was so much space that most quick players would have beaten cherry. Just remember that, while Ethan Strange is a good player, he would have under normal circumstances ran into Haumole's right shoulder when he stepped back on his left. I suggest only once.
