    I know you're mucking around but I think that's a stretch. Simpkins was decent with the ball today but I thought he struggled to control the Sharks middles in defence and that had a lot to do with the roll on they were getting around the ruck.

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Sharks [Round 10, 2025]

    The turning point was Olakau’atu’s low % pass to Garrick on halfway. It was 14 all at that point and we had all the momentum, yet one of our leaders tried the cheap grab for points, instead of working for them. That field position gifted the Sharks with an opportunity to put in an attacking...

    More inane commentary from Vossy.

    And that’s just it…the fact he didn’t, says there is more to it.

    Yeah, because there’s substantial narrative insight to be found in a repeat of Ricky’s initial comment 🙄

    All NRL Games [Round 10, 2025]

    There’s some serious irony in Salmon gesturing ‘weak gutted dog’ today, in that only a weak gutted dog would care enough to keep the narrative rolling. If he was a strong person with a healthy self esteem, he wouldn’t feel compelled to give the comment so much air time. You’ve only got to look...

    They’re also people with enough money to afford to think outside the square.

    I think I can read between the lines of what you’re trying to say, but you haven’t explained it very well. You’re suggesting he was offered a contract by the Chooks and started having doubts about some of the expectations in the deal. When he informed the Roosters of his concerns, they realised...

    I don’t know that I’d call it loyalty. He has a GF up on the Gold Coast and at one point, they were thinking about going to Canberra together. Finally, she ended up on the Gold Coast, and he gets set to pack up and move to Sydney. In the end, love won the day. You can see from his...

    I still think we are a better side with DCE at halfback than Jake Arthur so until Fogarty arrives, I’d like to keep DCE, regardless of what an early release will mean for 2026.

    so they offered him a contract with KPIs and were happy when he didn’t sign it? So why did they offer the contract in the first place then?

    No apology necessary. Interesting discussion :thumbsup:

    I didn't say they did...I thought you said they did?! Isn't this you saying they 'put in place' KPIs?

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Who cares about 2026 when it's 2025. Fogarty is not coming mid-year, so we need DCE to do our very best with the season at hand. The last thing our club needs is to release our halfback and captain early, and risk plummeting to the bottom of the ladder, challenging for the spoon, and setting our...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    I don’t think it’ll happen. I actually don’t think Daly would want it to go that way. It’s pretty common with younger players to leave early and start building a career somewhere else, but Daly is a veteran. He doesn’t need to go early and build something. He’s the club captain and already...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    YeH, I thought Ashton was younger and a long way off debuting. I guess the other thing is contracts aren’t a career prospect for clubs anymore and building a team is essentially 2-3 players on long contracts and the rest is a 2-3 year cycle. What I mean is, if we had De Silva (probably won’t...

    that sounds odd. They’re allowed to withdraw the offer, they don’t need to add some KPIs after a few meetings and cross their fingers that he walks away.

    Tallyn Da Silva

    I don’t think so. Gordy is not cut out for it. Maybe De Silva is a myth that won’t happen but we definitely need more in the position. I like what I saw from Simpkin the other night but he’s still got a pretty modest ceiling by comparison with other young 9s in the game. He’s just not explosive...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    100%. Tallyn is quick and likes to run. If we land him, he’ll compliment the less dynamic but more controlled game of Fogarty. Simpkin was good against the Panthers but he’s not overly quick out of dummy half and his service is decent, without being Blake Brailey, who is the closest thing I’ve...

    Tallyn Da Silva

    I know the club previously went after him and missed out so I know we’d be interested, if he was available. I imagine he also played under Hales and Lambkin at Westfields. It also makes sense given Croker’s issues, Gordy’s contract and Simpkin being the only real prospect. He is probably ready...
