No mate, he is saying the article is to appease fans.
The title says "we've got cherry" when you read the article it clearly says that we don't have cherry but are hopeful he will sign.
Lsz is clearly saying he won't get too excited until it is fact and not a suggestion he may sign
The title of the article "weve got cherry" has come from the writer of the article not David Perry or the club. For mine its all great news which weve all been craving.
You will have to remember the mauler, that late last year we were also craving the great news that Des had re-signed with Manly

The following story with the headline "Hasler set to sign new deal with Sea Eagles" was posted last year in the "Des - Merged Thread" thread
http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/hasler-set-to-sign-new-deal-with-sea-eagles-20111006-1lbu0.html
and many people were celebrating, including yourself at Post: #123 of the thread

I was never worried that Des would leave. He's the most loyal bloke in the game. Hed never turn his back on the club, especially the players.
He's building something really special with this group of players and no way would he be ditching them.
Back 2 back baby!
All those celebrating were quickly brought back to earth a few hours later when the SMH counteracted the previous story with the following story (ironically by the same author) titled "Des Hasler to join Bulldogs in 2013":

To me, that's once bitten, twice shy and says to me, don't celebrate potential signings too soon otherwise it might come back and bite you on the arse. Wait until they have actually put pen to paper and signed the contract
