Does anyone seriously wish we signed DCE for another 2 years? His best days are behind him.

Just sayin’

He was great at the start of the year. Another 1 year would of been good but now no fk him

 

[Jimmie]

DCE will not be at Manly.

There is a poster I believe his name is Jimmie(?), he seems to have good "intel" in and around the Roosters.

I'd be interested to read if he's heard anything on his side of the fence about a meeting mid-morning re DCE and the Roosters.

Apparently the remuneration package offered is now the subject of great conjecture and if what I'm told is true, I applaud the Roosters for "realigning their expectations" of value.

Nothings changed deal still on…handshake only at this point in time …roosters can’t see anything that will kill the deal

I hope he gets a nice juicy deal from them, it would be nice to see him sandbagging some other side's cap for a change

Dragons are chasing a Marquee Halfback ??? Maybe Flanno has been in his ear

Dce has had a very long career and has been very successful in many ways in the game.

However he is 36. Next year he will be 37. Unfortunately his decline will be inevitable and it is starting already this year compared to last year.

Yes , good riddance

Not disputing that he has probably spoken with Politis and that Politis has indicated that they are interested with a firm offer. But I would suggest Politis has not made the offer unconditionally. Like they did with Cronk, they are waiting to see him through his last year at the former club. Both Cronk and DCE were or are near the end of their career and far more liable to serious long term injury. Last thing they would want to do is outlay big money on a broken body. Already DCE is showing the wear and tear. Get through the season unscathed and he'll sign late in the season or Sept/Oct as was done with Cronk. Promise is there if he gets through and interestingly Cronk also declared early in his last season at Melbourne that that would be his last season there, though his excuse was family commitments and a TV contract. History repeats itself. SC did the same with Fulton

Whatever he agrees to at the Roosters, it will be well supported with third party agreements to limit the clubs actual salary cap outlay.

I don’t know , but not dumb to see , Chanel 9 a big part of the deal , and you can bet a nice top up from a “ coaching role “ post retirement.

 

[eaglebuzz]

He has pretty obviously put all his eggs in the Channel 9 basket

[Cochrane]

I felt he was telling **** by the way in weidler 3xclusive he couldn't just explain the version of events like you would if they were true, like just roll off the tongue.

Instead he was using imaginary points with his fingers on the desk to help him make sure he was going to say the story the way he wanted to sell it.

 

[Jimmie]

DCE knew exactly where he was going when he appeared on channel 9…shook hands with the roosters late last year but no contract signed then ,as the roosters needed to clear the decks first. Stating I don’t know where I’ll be 2026 but it won’t be at manly was disrespectful to the manly fans who have supported him through out his career when he knew exactly where he was going.He should have been straight with the fans and if you couldn’t talk about the roosters contract say nothing till you could.i have no issue with him going to the roosters it’s a business and you need to look after your family and no doubt the deal will be better their than the sea eagles could ever offer

i posted the above back in May but like every disagreement there are two sides to every storey . There is alot more to this saga and it will come out once DCE has left the club.
The thing that doesnt sit right is mestrov coming out on NRL 360 to confirm an offer to DCE .For the club to react like that there is more to it .That was amateur hour. Its like they were trying to justify themselves publicly. Why??. There are also plenty of rumours going around that Siebold put alot of BLAME on DCE for the loss to the roosters in the finals last year and manly management held back from making DCE an offer initially.




































































































































































































































































**** up.

Not sure why your message is bloody massive, but if this is true, this is probably the dumbest possible reason for us losing that game.

We lost Jake, with him being out of it for the rest of the game, we lost Tolu completely, we had some absolutely rubbish middle defence, Turbo wasn't doing anything, and DCE was our only real spark.

DCE is the only reason we didn't have 50 put on us. He actually arrested the momentum at points. He managed us well, which he has done only twice this year.

IF, IF, this is the case, and Seibold came guns blazing against DCE, I would quit out of spite too...

Then again, there's no reason to disrespect the fans in the way he did. If he wanted to just piss off DCE and Mestrov, there are ways to do that without collateral.

What are you thinking of it?

I took it as mestrov responding to dce comment that he had not been made an offer, when mstrov has since said he was.

I'm a little annoyed at dce's story failing to mention he wanted to leave the year earlier, and had spoken to manly previously who both agreed to park contract talks until dce decided whether he wanted to play on or not.

Instead he announces he will play anywhere but manly and had not even received an offer. Seriously, I've never witnessed such a poor display by a captain, even by a Bonnyrigg U17s soccer captain

 

[Budgie]

Then again, I read a guy who always gets it right about the Rorters on Twitter last night saying that Uncle Nick had been on the phone to Dollars last week to say they'd had a rethink and no thanks.

Hence the sudden announcement that the Dragons are looking for a marquee half.

I really couldn't care less where he goes, as long as he goes.

 

[Cochrane]

I'd love him to go to Dragons 😆

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Can I shorten that a tad

I’d love him to go

It was…dunno what happened there..me and IT don’t get on

Agree…he stood up that day and it could have been a lot worse
