    Hey I've already remarked about the question of his play and even suggested the captaincy be taken off him and be given a few weeks to prove he doesn't deserve a stint in the Reggies. Thing is I separate the issue of what he says from how he performs. I've said it again and again what he says...

    Read my post again LC. I am referring to the emotional response to this whole episode. Emotionally charged issues can become infectious and lead a life of their own, losing sight of what the original issue was about. And what was the original issue? DCE got on TV and said he was leaving Manly...

    Still get the sense there is a general emotional reaction to DCE leaving and that distorts how you see the issue. Firstly saying DCE is not an elite half is quite contrary to his selection as one of the top half backs in the game over the past decade. Secondly suggesting Cronk was superior to...

    Now though I support DCE's right to move to another club and state his intentions well ahead of that move, this does now mean I support his performance drop in recent weeks. For whatever reason his form is way down and the question must be asked, is he carrying an injury, or just not as...

    Sure Mark. I get your point. But is it such a major issue? He was going to leave anyway and from my perspective that's a much greater issue than what he may say. Does it really matter if he didn't say what you felt he should have. We do that all the time on this site. Actions are what is...

    I'm not attacking you Mark. You present as one of the most logical and balanced members on this site and I like your comments. In this matter I'm just surprised at how emotive your responses are. Quite atypical to your usual responses. Not criticising your right to feel angry about DCE's...

    So what Mark? Are you going to dismiss all the effort he has shown in holding this team together just because he hurt our feelings. Really? What difference does it really make. He's made a decision full stop. He's given Manly a year to find a replacement full stop. He wants a decent pay out full...

    I'm sorry but I just don't see the problem here. DCE has given his all for this club. He's near the end of his career. He wants a decent payout because once he's retired, the golden goose has flown. He's not going to get that kind of money again. This is business and he has his future to...

    Space!

    The rich guys though are waiting for a peak at Psyche, an asteroid believed to have been initially part of a much larger body which seems to have disintegrated and left the core of that body naked. That core is chock full of metals to dream of, far more than any other asteroid yet spotted. Yum...

    Best Coaches Of All Time

    My opinion. Any coach that can keep his team in the semis 21 years straight (though noting the loss of 2 premierships in 2007 and 2009 and loss of minor premiership 2008 through salary issues), has to be one hell of a coach. Of course the heaviest grand final winners as coach belong to Ken...

    Has the potential to be a star. Just has to get his head up there as well. Always said that. The skill is there. He just needs to want to use it enough.

    Johnny Mayes

    Top little player. I recall Manly playing musical half backs with Easts back then. One year Mayes was at Easts and Junee at Manly then Junee at Easts and Mayes at Manly. Both top half backs. Mayes at Easts for several years to 72 then Manly 1973 and back to Easts 74. Junee long term at Easts...

    I prefer a drowning. Much quicker and carbon zero. Why waste the trees. A good drowning helps the environment.

    MVP: Rd 8 v Panthers

    3. Olakau'atu (consistently Manly's most dangerous forward) 2. DCE (I know he's on the nose with many but back in form and I feel outplayed Cleary) 1. Simpkins (nice to see a hooker who knows what to do) Only just pipped was the return of Turbo. What a difference he makes to this team. Garrick...

    Point is, which Manly side is playing this weekend. I don't mean personnel, I mean attitude.

    I think though half backs always demand a good chunk of the salary cap. $700,000 a year for 3 years. If he's as good as suggested, its a pretty reasonable fare. Maybe a little overs by some judges but Manly desperately needs a half to replace DCE and there isn't much on offer. I suspect they're...
