our June 30 wish list

[CRPSI eagle]

Based on our recent recruitment we’ll end up with David Klemmer or something

Nooo! surely not the Klem, we couldn’t that lucky to end up with another rep player.
WOW 💪💪💪

Croker deserves first crack at no.7

Why Croker? I could name few others that would like to crack him first.

So I’d say the pro $CE v anti $CE on here a has increased to staggering levels , can only think of 1 maybe 2 posters who are still in support.

What a fall from grace this is , never seen anything like it in the 18 years I’ve been on here.

Especially when you consider club captain, and most capped player in the club's history.

No way, this is an awful call. Croker is slow, has 0 running game, bad kicking game & not creative at all. The only reason he gets away with being in 1st grade is his toughness which is a good quality for hooker. To top it off he hasn’t played a single game in the half’s in 4 or 5 years? Why is he a better option than Arthur?

100%

This "Croker is playing out of position" or "Croker is a half" narrative is nonsense.

Sure, Croker came through as a half but only ever cemented himself as a hooker.

He is in now way a viable halves option just like Isaiah Yeo isnt a centre option and Ryan Matterson isn't a 5/8 option.

Players evolve

Honestly it’s the biggest fall from grace I’ve ever seen in all the years I’ve been following.

Oh sure some great players have left the club to go else where ( Fulton for example ) but I doubt one has left the club with most fans despising them.

I’m sure things will mellow in the years to come but for a while he’ll be treated like a leper.

Good riddance.

Was always about what is best for DCE and never cared about the team. He has been the center of controversy since he spat the dummy 12 yrs ago when he wanted more of an upgrade then he was offered.

He has delivered 0 prems since he signed his monster deal.

He could have played on 2 more years for 1.4M or 1 more year at 700k (prob could have nego'd up to 800/900k) but instead he will choose a 1 ye 1M contract.

Basically, destroyed his legacy for 100-200k pretax. Assuming the chooks only sign him for 1 yr. Idiot can beat it.

I don't believe for one second that the club will let him go this year. I think the talk of that is just total pie in the sky stuff. With no injuries he'll play his last game at Brookie vs the Warriors on 5th September and there will be a big fake jizz fest / circle jerk by the club and fans "celebrating" his career at Manly .....

I don't believe for one second that the club will him go this year. I think the talk of that is just total pie in the sky stuff.

But wouldn't be a a refreshing bit of news in an otherwise sh*thouse season if he did leave immediately?

Yep and especially if we managed to pick up a half decent forward.....

 

[double hoops]

Wouldn’t mind if we get this Wong……..

We have had some Wrights might as well as have a Wong as well. Balance it out.

 

[madmax]

Hhhmmmm 2 wongs don’t make Whyte!

2 Wongs do make good noodles!

 

[The '47ers]

Good call actually, he's a half, not a hooker at the end of the day.

He's past his end of the day

 

[madmax]

Especially when you consider club captain, and most capped player in the club's history.

No one to blame but himself & Politis!

Hopefully we get long dong Wong, for a song.
There'll be no pong, even wearing a thong to hide his prong. Me may use a tong with his bong to hit a gong, like they do in Hong Kong while watching King Kong but he ain't no mong.Okay this is going wrong. So long.

 

[DUFFMAN]

I think he will be at the Roosters this season.
Our club will get nothing out of it from the Roosters, we will ask for a player swap with cash our way with the Roosters saying no, we will be dumb and agree.

The only thing that may happen is they will offer a player they don't want with us agreeing and also to pay them for the privilege.

 

[Ben]

The Roosters look like they won’t swap any players we want from their roster for the $ Chaser.
Maybe we are looking at Fifita from GC? We need a backrower and Burbo would be better suited back on the bench pushing Waddle back to cup. I wouldn't be against it as the tits are also paying a big chunk of his salary.
One of the most damaging runners of the ball in the game. If we get him firing could be an incredible pick up.
