‘Not backing a captain who doesn’t want to be there’: DCE urged to stand down as skipper​

Calls are growing for Daly Cherry-Evans to stand down from the Manly captaincy amid a horror form slump for the halfback and his team since his contract saga emerged.

So it takes Buzz 6 days to read my / our posts and turn it into an article.

good to know.

Jake shouldn't even be in the starting side let alone captain obviously with the playing roster we have and injuries he is but he'd be better served coming of the bench he might even be able to bend a tired defensive line once and awhile

He should be happy enough with a bench spot on current form

Hmmm. With the Pope dying, who seemed to be a very good man, I thought I might revisit my belief in God.

But God? Jake not in the starting side? Nothing to believe in here.

That was quick!

Jake is too important in his current position not to start imo. Especially with Croker out.

I do agree he is aging but I’d personally rather start him have him make his tackles for 20 mins then bring on a replacement. I don’t personally believe he would offer much impact coming off the bench, I’d rather him take the sting out of the game then bring in a game breaker. Issue is we don’t currently have a circuit breaker in the team nor do I see us developing any forwards to fill the role. That would be my preference in an ideal world though.

I think you’re confusing fairness with softness. Jake is not soft. He is as competitive as anyone. You only need to look at him revving up the team throughout the game to know that. And look at how hard he takes losing. He HATES it. He’s an inspirational captain and even when he captained NSW, madge said he couldn’t think of anyone better for that role. What’s more he absolutely loves this club - and what more could you want from your captain.

When was the last time he broke a tackle, I need someone who does more than tackle.period

So Buzz thinks DCE does not want to be there
Has He asked DCE if he wants to be there ?

If the Closet Alcoholic Buzz was not Pissed as he usually is at the games he would see DCE engage with fans signing Autographs before and after the Games .

Jakes Performance has Been well below Parr
Going By The Buzz theory Jake does not want to be at Manly as well .

Buzz should retire . He does not have the Head for TV or the Brains to be a Journalist

Agree in our current side I just ment (and should have clarified) if we had a decent forward pack he wouldn't be a certain starter these days

God, can you just do your job and get them to win? If you're busy with appointments on the night, can you have a word to that lay-about son of yours?

Note: if the young hippie can't make it to the stadium on Saturday, can he pop into my place and perform the wine manoeuvre on one of my water taps?
Chat later.

This is exactly how the club should be thinking. DCE has said he's publicly letting everyone know that his future lies elsewhere so the club can move forward knowing that it's a future without him. So there's no dramas in standing him down as captain and moving forward with Jake as skipper. I'm not saying drop him (unless his form warrants it) just let someone lead the club who wants to lead the club

At this stage mate his form is horrible & dies warrant him being dropped to reserves! By doing this & bringing in someone else for the remainder of the season may or may not work but leaving DCE to play the rest of the season as he has been since his decision is no better. At least if he’s gone early….out of sight, out of mind.
