The Daly Cherrygraph

While his form is pretty bad, i do think its pile on DCE time because of his unpopularity. Honestly…….gardeners leave is best for all. He gets covid

Go on holidays and think about your choices and he probably should be angry enough with himslelf

No way the chooks need the headless variety to guide them into the promise land. I imagine his slide will be epic .

I am so longing to see him play against us and read the room . Finally in the 14 getting paid 10000 to clap his hands and point in huddles. He is very photogenic in our victory huddles, almost like he knows how to position himself which is ironic as feck

A few more consolation sundays, a few quiet beers and next year

Last game at brookie getting more interesting by the day. Wonder who doesnt attend
Look I hope it isn’t a protest , regardless of the ending he’s been here for 15 years.

But I feel it will be relatively subdued.

I reckon they should do one of those big old style banners to run through. Like the peter sterling nsw in LA moment.

he would probably even run around it to avoid the hit , skirt wide , bring the second man through on the inside probably Tom and DCE sprints past after Tommy smashes his banner. Pretty fitting really

A BBQ would be a nice touch, maybe Luke Brooks could present it to him
 
Let’s face it there’s good reason why at almost 37 he’s hardly had an injury to mention.

Cam Smith was another , hookers are usually avid defenders , he was okay but never much put his body on the line.

Think you've nailed it - Daly has always played with a higher element of self preservation that the normal NRL player. He's cleverly avoided a lot of the contact by playing much more before the line than on the advantage line, Foran takes more shots from the defense while ball playing in one game than DCE does in a year. DCE will occasionally take a run up the blind side at a winger or centre when the defence is in disarray. But to me he has always played somewhat in a dinner suit to steal the old cliche. Very rarely squares his shoulders to the defensive line and usually fades crossfield. Done it very well for a long time to be fair too, with a lot of success, but age has caught up with him.

He hasn't quit on us really - he's just trying to do what he has always done but he's not as athletic as he was and at age 37 and who can blame him.

But I'm counting down the days......
 
DCE’s best years were when he had Foran beside him as he covered well for his deficiencies and they complemented each other quite well.

When he’s had a “lesser half” beside him his flaws have been there for all to see but some choose to ignore them and focus on his moments of magic.
