Congratulations on this achievement for next week wish I was free to make the trip to the gong.

Favourite memory the field goal against the warriors up at Gosford a few years back

If you can make the trip please do to c celebrate this champion.

Club is running a supporters bus

TICKETING INFO:

WIN Stadium does have an away supporters bay, however is the NC13 bay below which isn't great, however Northern Concourse bays have plenty on availability. Would be great to get a big group of fans in the area circled below:

True champion of the club. Will go down as one of the all time great half’s. I won’t be there but wish this champion all the best. I remember my young fella complaining all morning about having to go into south bank (Brisbane) to the museum in school hols with mum. He trudged in reluctantly clad in manly jersey and hat. Anyway it was origin tine and the qld boys were out on a post brekky walk. And GI points out the young fella to dce (must have been just after dce came back in) and dce went out of his way and crossed over the street to say hello and take photos. The young fella quit his school holiday excursion complaining pretty quick after that!

 

[The '47ers]

Froggy's 100th too, but yeah obviously 300 is the highlight!

 

[joeboy]

having a great year our captain, wonderful career too. Wish I could make it too his 300th

 

[The Who]

Couldn't have picked a worse opponent, nor venue, to play.
We have won just one out of 10 matches at the 'Gong. Illawarra is our bogey side, no matter how each team is travelling. I tipped us to beat Cronulla, against whom we have a wonderful record. But I've seen so many stinkers we've put in against Illawarra that I'm really worried DCE and Froggy won't enjoy their milestone matches.

Not this time @The Who! Win this and we could be in the 8 after the weekend!

Sounds like the perfect occasion for a DCE winning field goal.....

I know we’ve had our difficulties at the Gong , but we should give them a real run for their money next game.

Such a pity to lose two forwards today but we have others in reserve.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Wish we were in a position to give him the week off and have a proper celebration at his home ground - which he deserves.

No doubt Bully and Sipley will come back in.

Love this story.

Forget the 300th for now, no one cares.

Win the game.

Then celebrate anything you want.

 

[StuBoot]

But we'd have to give him two games off as we're away the following week too.

 

[skull61]

Maybe he should be rested like the faders did for Croker

I agree about the venue, and them being our bogey side, but those 9 matches we've lost at the 'Gong weren't milestone matches. Have to think such a special game as DCE's 300th will be sufficient motivation to get a rare win at the 'Gong (hopefully).

 

[globaleagle]

Will he make 300, or will he backflip and sign with the Titans this week?

lol

300...sheesh, that's a lot.
