I'm sure someone with a better memory will correct me if I am wrong but didn't Manly send DCE to play with the Sunshine Coast for a year before he made his first grade debut?

He didn't go from under 20s straight to first grade.

Won the comp up there with Tony williams

You are pretty much on point with your general posting but unless my recollection is i bit off .
Quite sure that Sunshine coast win was in 2009 with Trent Hodgkinson the 7 and T . Rex as the 6 in the final ,
Then in 2010 , D C E with a full season with Sunshine coast coming from the 20 "s and Hodgo , the Manly i st grade 7
D C E replacing Hodgo in 2011 when he moved to the Dogs

Ahh you are right.

Tony Williams playing as a 6 must have been daunting for the opposition and showed a bit of skill level with the ball from memory .
Probably a bit under utilized in that area when in the Manly i st grade pack but could have been other reasons as well

Falls into the "what do the opposition least want"
Trex with ball in hand.

Can't believe Manly have signed Fogarty for three years. Two should have been maximum.

Fogarty is a good signing. I expect that if young Walsh is as good as touted then Jake Arthur will end up at one of the new franchises.Jake is a solid player and a good trainer but didn’t in my view impress during the trials.

Then he would have stayed with Canberra & then who would we sign. Maybe the dregs - Bulldogs Sexton. No thank you.

I believe The Initial offer was for two years
But Raiders matched it and the club added another year to make it a three year contract
This is what pressure does

DCE didn’t debut in first grade until he was 22 after playing 20’s at Manly then up to the Sunny Coast for a season of QCup.So a fair bit more experience and age on Walsh

Yep, he was player of the year in QCup the year before he debuted.
So a full season in u20's and a full season in QCup so quite a bit of experience really

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Tony Williams - on his day was a wrecking ball. Unfortunately, these efforts were patchy ay best.
As a goal kicker - no thank you.

 

[manlyfan76]

Why did they have a winger on the bench in Cuthbertson?!?
😝

Well...it's ok if Walsh doesn't come along as fast as everyone hopes he will....or he has a season ending injury. then the 3 years won't be too bad...I think.
