The Daly Cherrygraph

[swoop]

BTW if people here think I'm giving it to DCE because of what's happened this year you can go back to 2018 and maybe before saying he wasn't the great halfback that most people thought he was.

I even started a thread that DCE was the worst halfback in the NRL.

 

[Cochrane]

Agree, many of us questioned his all round ability as a half and organiser for many years, as apart from brilliance and clutch field goals which is what earns Dally M points, his ability to provide consistency, play to the state of the game instead of playing a high percentage of the time like manly are leading by 36 and failure to take control of the game when up by healthy leads has been frustrating and one of the keys to manly not throwing a punch at finals time.

From 2022 to 2024, a quick look shows manly longest winning streak is 2 in 2022, 2 in 2023 and 3 in 2024. 2017, 2019 and 2021 were our best years with 4 or 5 games. We have a better squad than some of those years, but it's getting worse.

Seibold has something to answer for also you'd think.

This DCE situation is a debacle for him, the Manly club, and rugby league. I will not bag DCE as a player as I have rated him as a Manly great. Just a huge pity that he bungled his last season - got it all wrong, and may have wrecked his legacy. But no kudos for the Manly club either which has displayed much ineptitude with its handling of this matter, which in the over all scope is just another manifestation of its inept retention/recruitment record. And now they have signed Fogarty for three seasons whilst his current coach reckoned that two seasons was the maximum he was worth. The farce looks likely to continue.

Not directly related to DCE but it really isn't that hard to spell "Dearden" correctly - note the absence of the letter "o".

.. It’s not hard to spell Daly Cherry-Evans either

Just sayin’

 

[BOZO]

Fixed it for you

You are Great poet and you know it feathered friend
Thank you 🙂

 

[BOZO]

… well Des has certainly gone from hero to zero in a short spate of time.

So True .
Every Great career comes to an end
But Haslers Great Manly Legacy will live forever

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

Knowing Seibold he will give DCE an extra day off to get over getting drop from origin

 

[Ned]

I care, I really hope he is unsuccessful.

Massive hater haha

 

[jbb/james]

He was an over rated 7 before he had DCE TV
He is an over rated 7 who is older a d less palatable after DCE TV

Im happy for him to play, i just want our team moving in a different direction on the field and his top dog status makes it hard to adjust team direction

For much of the last 5 years manly have played an out the back attack style with TOM being the answer to all questions

Injuries has made that style inconsistent as tom has been inconsistent in games played

Reuben and koula were ok but not good enough to succeed under the same conditions because they were not tom

Lehi is mixing it up but the fullback rotation, the reliability of frog and the sooky la la of DCE has left our spine doing it tough, and a roving Tommy to boot

In the next few weeks it really all could come together but i have a feeling the excuses will mount a strong enough case to quietly concede

In a year of DCE TV we must wonder how this affect manly , you know all this qld disappointment

 

[Brookie1973]

Massive hater haha

Compared to some on here, me and Daly are almost buddies.

 

[mickqld]

Soooo where to now for DCE. Does he take this as motivation to show that he's still got it and lead this team to better form and results. Or does he kick stones and basically take a "fu*k the world" attitude. Interesting times ahead for this dysfunctional side.

 

[madmax]

So, not defending DCE here, but Deardon is not a halfback, nor is Munster or Mam.

Agree mate…..if Billy is trying to re-invigorate the halves then Fogarty should be 7 & Munster at 6! Walsh at 1, Grant at 9….that’s a bloody good spine with Dearden at 14.
Walsh
Coates
Tabuai-Fidow
Holmes
Cobbo
Munster
Fogarty
Tino
Grant
Carrigan
Nanai
Fifita
Cotter
Res: Dearden, Horsburgh, Fotuaika, Collins

Well, unfortunately DCE, in his selfish arrogance has turned out to be a massive wanker @Ned Things are going so badly for him right now, that I almost feel sorry for him.

I think Option Two will be DCE's response @mickqld

 

[madmax]

What dominates the playing squad is the coach
He is not only the recruiter
He is also the selector the game planner and the motivator
We have seen the coaches capabilities
For those that see a Grand final under Seibold
You will only see it in your dreams

😴

 

[madmax]

I've said it multiple times, he's a media whore, just about every one of his contracts has been played out in media making it all about him. He's never been a team player and doesn't give a **** if we lose players to accommodate him. He's an arogant self centre prick who's been holding the club for ransom threatening to leave if he doesn't get the dollars he wants.

We won a premiership in 2011 with him in the team, which was filled with star studded players with the likes of Lyon, Mattai, the Stewart bros, Watmough, Kite, Foran etc etc

So one premiership and nothing since, did we get our money's worth?

I don't feel sorry for him, **** him.

I wonder if he likes the current headlines?

Karma is a bitch

You mean he’s an arrogant self 1/2 prick 🤭

 

[mickqld]

I haven't had a high opinion of him for several years. But if he does that then the man is without any credibility or principles at all. He would be a disgrace to the club , supporters and sponsors and trash any legacy that he's built in the place. I can't believe he'd do that.

Ponga out of form but we don't want Ladyboy at the back. Sickening enough they bought Wam Bam into the squad, read the room Billy instead of smoking Billys.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

@jbb/james ...thoughts?

Why Cherry-Evans might just be the greatest Maroons halfback

Having taken Queensland from a rabble to its bright future with a slew of iconic performances, it can be easy to forget how recently Daly Cherry-Evans was on the State of Origin scrap heap. Now, his place in Queensland history is secure.

[Jimmie]

Dropping DCE won’t help Queensland win if their forwards don’t win the middle which is the most likely scenario given game one.
