With Foran running the show last week, we got away with a win. Excellent! With DCE running the show this week, we slaughtered them. Fantastic!! Look TC, it's a TEAM effort, week in, week out. You and I both know that. Why are you always so quick to dismiss or label DCE as inferior? At this stage of their careers, are you saying Foran is at his pinnacle, but DCE has room to improve? If that's the case....pay Cherry whatever he wants, like Napper says!
DCE is not inferior, he has a more rounded skillset than Foran he just falls into many bad habits that need to be trained out of him.
Way too often he gets man of the match and does not deserve it, or people look at his great games and just forget the bad ones due to Manly still winning.
People tend to forget i felt Forans development was stagnating under Hasler and was looking predictable until Joey arrived,(Both halves have improved big time under Joey) just because i mention a flaw or performance issue does not mean i am not a fan, same with Brett Stewart.
Too often fans of players just don't want to see the negatives just enjoy all the positives and they can do no wrong.
Way too many people on this site were bagging Andrew Johns saying he is not doing much for their development(which at the time myself and a few others defended his appointment), i don't see those same people offering compliments about Joeys involvement now.
I pay compliments just as much as i see technical issues that come across as me being "negative" in some readers eyes but i'm not going to change.
