No, the Roosters/Storm rule is only applicable to the Roosters and Storm.

Maybe from Manlys perspective its to negotiate a reduction in his salary for the next two years

This. Perhaps DCE has said, I'll reduce the final two years by 400k if you give me another two. It's certainly possible.

Has to be, makes no sense for manly to entertain it at this stage otherwise

It has to be; makes no sense for manly to entertain it at this stage otherwise

Yep, it was the first thing that came to mind when I read they were extending him. Everyone wins in such a situation.

• DCE gets increased financial stability for 4-5 years.
• Manly get salary cap relief.
• DCE becomes a one-club player.
• Manly maintain stability in the squad
• DCE improves his profile for life after football playing career.

he has made noises over the last season or two that suggest he isnt comfortable with the pressure his contract brings

IMO, there's no way the club would entertain an extension three years out without gaining an immediate advantage. Also, if he gets injured later in his career, they can medically retire him. DCE doesn't have any pre-existing injury complications at this point.

 

[Kevinward777]

Perhaps the recruitment team have been reading the ideas presented by old @BOZO - time will tell.

Very good interview. DCE didn't duck any questions.
My take on DCE is this (should anybody be interested):
His contract is ridiculously high, but for that I blame the club, not DCE.
He has been up for a long time and is still capable of stellar performances. They won't happen as regularly as they used to until some of the players around him improve/change.
He is rarely injured, and must play many matches with injuries that would sideline lesser mortals. With that in mind, isn't he better value at $1.25-m for 24+ matches a season than a $800,000 halfback who is regularly sidelined?
DCE is a leader and has won more matches in clutch situations than anyone else I can think of.
He is a good role model off-the-field and has never brought discredit to the club.
I'd hate to see him play against us because I know he'd break our hearts with a field goal in extra time.

DCE BACKFLIPS ON MANLY DEAL BY SIGNING NEW MANLY DEAL

Is that still a thing - hows Benji going at minimum wage... that seems to have gone missed by the NRL if it is still the case?

 

[Moops]

At the moment top 3 halves
Cleary
Hughes
Sam walker

Dce isnt close to these guys

Only guy to replace him would be Reynolds but the chips wont fall that way and Cherry is Manly and can be better than Reynolds

Yeah, I was confused by the second best tag as well...Wow! Reynolds is also a level above him.

 

[Moops]

No, the Roosters/Storm rule is only applicable to the Roosters and Storm.

Everybody seems to forget about the Rabbits! They get plenty of help on and off the field as well.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Yep. Inglis back playing in the UK and Sam Burgess talking about a comeback next year. So much for career ending health issues and injuries. What a rort.

Agreed, when players/clubs apply for medical retirement it should be made very clear that they will never again have a contract registered in the NRL.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

At post#7 trillion - his current contract is until the end of the 2023 season C&C.

Inglis was not 'medically retired', he simply had enough and retired in the conventional sense. I have no problem with Inglis coming back out of retirement, but Burgess is an altogether different story.

He is a greedy mercenary and won't accept anything less than what he is currently on Especially with a new Brisbane team going to push up salaries

The media circus has once again been orchestrated by him and his manager
