Of course he could be throwing games. Petulant little prattThat last attacking bomb for Saab was a perfect example of things DCE does that never change.
As we've pointed out in other threads, when Munster or others at Melbourne kick high for Xavier Coates, 99 times out of 100 the ball comes down in the in-goal area allowing Coates, should he catch the ball (he usually does) to just fall to the ground and score.
DCE's attacking high kicks for Saab 99 times out of 100 fall about 5 metres out from the try line. Saab is tall with a 7 foot wingspan ... but he's not THAT tall that he can fall and score from 5 metres out even if he does actually catch the ball.
And tonight wasn't the first time he's been made to look very ordinary by a much younger and vastly less experienced NRL half. Sure Ethan Strange was in the Raiders 6 tonight, but he was opposite DCE on our right edge and he literally gave our 348 game, premiership winning, World Cup winning, Clive Churchill Medal winning halfback a lesson tonight.
Last year against Canberra at Brookie, Kaeo Weeks was their halfback and he did the same thing, made DCE look like a chump.
The game has passed Daly Cherry-Evans by. The Chooks are welcome to him.
