DCE 350

[Mark from Brisbane]

100%!

However, many here will tell you DCE had every right to do all of this because he doesn't rate Seibold as a coach.

Nevertheless, I’m guessing you’ve worked with someone you didn’t like ??

I’ve worked with many over the years , was a ground handler for an airline once , their commercial manager was the biggest , disliked , piece of **** that existed.

But you had a choice , accept his **** , get paid.

Not accept his **** , then look for another job.

Back in those days it was worth a motza so we ( me and all the others in the various airports at the time ) just had to accept it.

The Dollar Chaser had that choice.

You know looking back at this sad & sorry 4-5 months what an absolute PR disaster this has been for the Dollar Chaser.

For a start , I get he was pissed he didn’t get a big money offer , and I get he might have been pissed that Seibold got an extension.

BUT, whoever advised him on his actions ( I assume his manager ) needs a rocket up their clacker.

How different would this be.

1) Sorry D$E no extension this time the club wants to move forward.

2) no worries it was always going to come to an end sometime.

3) I’m going to put everything into my last year , giving the fans a farewell they can rejoice about.

4) then ( secretly ) does a deal with the roosters , which in a mutual way is kept hush hush.

5) continues on through the year ( who knows where we may have ended up ) and finishes celebrating his 350th and record game for the club , and on the last game a record attendance farewelling a club legend.

6) then after the dust settles the Roosters announce they’ve signed him for 2 years etc etc.

He goes out a winner at the club he’s been at for 15 years.

He gets his big dollars and retirement nest egg

And everyone is pretty happy.

Compare the pair , this V what’s transpired.

He’s now being ridiculed by all & sundry and is the subject of some pretty nasty journo stories and will leave the club mostly hated and the cherry on top ( pun intended ) a miserable 350th celebration.

You just have to say , he has ****ed this whole situation up monumentally.

An EPIC **** UP one could say.

He walks away as a pariah ( for many).

Absolutely 101 in NOT how to handle your retirement / moving on.

Mate you and I have been around long enough to know this is exactly how it would go at Manly. This club is Olympic class gold at fu*k ups and this is just another in the long line of them. We can't do farewells to long standing players ever. It has panned out exactly as I thought it might , into an end of year fiasco full of failure, disappointment, bitterness, in fighting and name calling.

Sad isn’t it ( in one way ).

Its wave your $50 bill in the air at the 7th minute game.

That would be a classic!

What's the saying, don't **** in your own nest.

I may be completely wrong, here but even in last week's presser about missing out on top 8 he said, it's disappointing when there is something you've work so hard for, and you don't end up getting what you want.

It just came across a bit more as a message to our club power brokers than a heart felt I've failed as a Captain to get my team to the 8.

From afar he has imploded our bunch of softies.

As if the cash poor Manly club can afford flowers. Dreaming.

Give him a bag of no frills flour
