[Under the Sticks]

Under the sticks just pondered whether Des and DCE will finish up this year, or if his belief that DCE will will chase the $$ due to Under the sticks view of DCE'S greediness for money.

How did that become a question as to who stuck it out at Manly between Foran and DCE to showcase who was the better man?

Yeah I was just linking three major figures at manly at one stage who all seemed to be close and potentially retiring at the same time.

Sorry didn’t intend to start world war 3.

You may have missed the game in Albury v Raiders during his prolonged re-signing drama.

He was most certainly not "giving it everything" that day.

I remember that game
May have been Tom’s debut ?

Sticks you have every right to express an opinion and I wasn't attacking you for that. The issue was I felt your comment was somewhat unfair on DCE, and again that's OK if you feel that way. I was merely indicating that there are those out here who don't share that assessment. Its not about right or wrong, its about balanced discourse.

Cochrane's response was implying that I was initiating a DCE discussion and now suggesting I had done this before. I think he will find on each occasion I am responding to someone else initiating the issue and merely putting up a defence for DCE. If you read my entries that is a consistent tactic I use. Its called debate. I would do the same for Foran . I did it for Walker, Gutherson, Tom Wright, Weekes etc There seems to be this attitude that its OK to put forward a point of view someone supports but to take umbrage if its challenged. Debate doesnt work that way. But I have no issue about you expressing your opinion.

Jeez remember those early days with Foran , in defence he’d tackle anyone , the biggest prop forward , regardless , he was a ****ing lunatic !!

It’s a miracle he’s still playing at 35.

Have to take into account also that quite bad run Foz had with injuries when he did part ways with Manly after [ was it ? ] 2015 ,
Just really pleasing that he was able to however , to have a pretty good run injury wise when he did return for those couple of seasons in 21 - 22 and what a class act he was largely again ..
Even recall him having a couple of games at centre for Manly early on before he became established as a 6 . Just such a really good all round, gifted footy player
Arko once predicted that he could be a future Manly captain just before he came into i st grade
In different circumstances or outcomes , it could well have happened
