If DCE does backflip and stays in the maroon and white, I would not be announcing it until 13 June. That way there would be no chance for the Tits to make a counter offer. All they could do is cry about it (which if truth be told is what most of us are going to do if he does leave).
Question is, if that happened would the story get leaked out before the deadline? I doubt one person could keep it under wraps.
You know, if for argument sake DCE stayed and we did pick up Myles and Lussick, our team next season could potentially look something like:
Snake, Jorge, Peta, Skivy, Gutho/Tom T, Killer, DCE, Jake T, Matty, Myles, Ferris, Symonds, Mateo. Res from Lui, Horo, Lussick, Hodges, Sao, JSL, Burgess.
Although Snake, Killer and maybe Matty Ballin would/might be in their last year in 2016, that is still a top 4 team on paper.
