Dce : reap what you sow

[Loobs]

That really affected his performances this year didn't they ?

Broken jaw did. If he didn't get that they could have off loaded him before the season and you might just have gotten over it by now.

 

[Holmsey]

I would think of my team mates the club and my best man and ask for $750k a year

If I was him I'd take the money cause he has a young family. 10 million has him done for life.

1. You do not know me well ... you are not in a position to make this assumption.

The only reason we offered him a huge deal is because he paraded him self like a little Indonesian tranny to the Sharks and Titans and drove his price through the roof

Lol I do not know you well, but whatever makes you happy chief. If you think you would turn down 1.3m good on you, pat on the back well done son. However we are playing hypotheticals so lets not bother trying to compare measurements and see who has the longer length or girth and which is the most important.

You have a short memory if you think that is why we offered him 1.3m.

- Fact he did no such parading, the media turned up and made that a **** storm, none of that was driven by him.
- He is and was one of the top young halfbacks in the game
- He had every right to test the open market
- We were slow in putting a contract forward to him
- We pulled the offer we did make
- He signed with the titans
- In order to get him back as we had no other halfback options we had to pay him overs and offer him something other clubs couldnt

So you blame him for that?

I see the blame with the media and Manly for not effectively securing him when we could have. He stated clearly had we put an offer to him in 2014 he would have signed it and foe much less. We were lax in our commitments to getting contracts and offers in place and somewhat arrogant about that too, and we let him slip away.

Blame: MWSE recruitment + media + his manager

No Blame: DCE

a kid took the offer of a lifetime, good on him. I would have done precisely the same thing in his position

We offered a huge deal cause we had to. The old management didn't want him, so he took a deal from Titans. Then we came back with a new offer. He never wanted to leave manly he was forced but got offered good money and stayed.

Alamo, looks like you have performed a TACAMO.*

*Take Charge And Move Out.

Indeed Zarsoff, indeed.

Alamo out

 

[Nice Beaver]

DCE got offered 1.3 mill for 10 years! What would you ****en do? Everyone even JT would take that money as soon as its out there. @king2213 you need to stop blaming everyone for Jamie's departure. Maybe Jamie himself decided he did not want to stay with manly and was offered big cash at Newy.

This contract of DCE's goes up at the same rate as the size of a catch from a fishing trip!

I'd love to see the article that says his deal was worth $13 million.

Let's not go over the top, hey?

 

[maxta]

Very fickle to judge DCE after 2 lean seasons behind poor forward packs & playing on injured....for his mates & fans......judge him at the end of his career after a couple more premierships.
Yes management has made some poor calls...but let's not turn on the players....

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I say again, a Bex and a good lay down is needed by many on here.

It's been a stressful year.

I might go fishing tomorrow, turn off the phone and follow up with a couple of schoeys at the local to celebrate a few flatie's ( I hear they are on at present).

Remember there is a life other than football!!

He only got the big offer after we lost Foran.

Take 750 per year and lose $5million over ten years in wages and also lose all the earnings that five million would bring in over ten years.

 

[niccipops]

Surely DCE doesn't need a second job selling fish anymore

New nickname.
The Fishmonger.

Yeah, think how many more shoulders and knees you can get with that extra $5 mil!
Take all the money you get as you never know what's up ahead.
