The Daly Cherrygraph

I thought DCE had said in recent times he wouldnt be joining Dolphins. Obviously Im wrong, can anyone recall something like this?

 

[Jay Eagle]

If the roosters know that they're the only ones left in contention then the Dollar Chasers negotiating power is lessened and it may drive his price down

Yep perfect timing i say.. he's management is probably trying to get a few more bonus $$ out of the Roosters..

Hey you better agree or we are off to the Phins..lol

When read in context, he doesn’t actually say he is ‘talking’ with the Roosters and Dolphins, just that he ‘has’.

Maybe he spoke with the Dolphins a month ago and they’ve agreed not to move any further ahead with discussions.

It’s interesting that he admitted to speaking with the Roosters, in spite of Robinson’s public declaration that no conversations have been had.

Well maybe it’s not so interesting; it is $CE and the Roosters after all, and they’re a match made in heaven; both driven by money and self interest at the expense of integrity and soul.

 

[LeonardCohen]

So you dont think he could come up something as beautiful as Dance Me To The End Of Love or Suzanne.

The best he could manage is a cover version of the Barrett Strong song made famous by The Beatles - Money (That’s What I Want).

I recall it being reported recently that he said his preference was to stay in Sydney.

That really does make it sound like he’s trying to wrangle more coin out of the Chooks.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Im pretty sure he ruled out the Dolphins early in the peace.
The Chooks are only competing with themselves. If they are smart they should only offer what we did & DCE would probably accept it.

Let's be honest, the deal would have already been well & truly done a long time ago.... imo just trying to make it appear like it's happening now

 

[Thewestisbest]

I surmise that the Roosters are no longer on the "same page" as DCE, the other clubs are also losing interest (or have already lost interest), and his best option may be at Catalans.

Pretty fanciful. I think you are confusing what you'd like to see happen with reality.

I'm all for players making as much as they can. But the way DCE goes about it is very ugly.

 

[Eagles4Life]

Probably.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

I personally wish Daly would consider practising the dignity of silence! And maybe at least one other Club wishes he would too.... but he is certainly adept at keeping himself in conversations and on front pages....

 

[Rocky]

Yep - there is zero chance DCE dumped Manly without something watertight lined up. As we know, that means the Roosters and a TV job post career.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Kept what real tight? He said he was leaving so what’s he kept real tight. Real tight that he hasn’t signed with anyone? “I’ve kept that really tight” to me indicates he has signed with someone already? Or am I a numb nut 😂.

Much like Des, I think he keeps his wallet shut real tight.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Probably.

I like it though. It would be a good scenario. The old reverse convict back to England with you Chez.

 

[Bulli Eagle]

I think the options are the dogs and roosters. Gus said recently theres gunna be an exciting announcement in the next few weeks for the dogs (or words to that effect). God I hope not

 

[Cochrane]

Dce would stifle the dogs. They are a well drilled side with a few guns and many players who are putting in 100% so far this season.

Maybe they could do with a half-back upgrade, but more a solid and not flashy halfback who is smart enough to just get the ball to who it needs to go to and a good kicking game finding field position and space.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Much like Des, I think he keeps his wallet shut real tight.

DCE learnt from De$. Chase the money son

 

[Rosko]

I surmise that the Roosters are no longer on the "same page" as DCE, the other clubs are also losing interest (or have already lost interest), and his best option may be at Catalans. (Insert tongue in cheek emoji here)

Yep, he wants to stay in Sydney, so Bonjour Perpignan...

 

[globaleagle]

DCE confirms he will sign with Roosters or Dolphins for next year.

dce: "Hello?"
mgr: "Daly, it's yer manager. they released the teams for state of origin...and I hate to tell you but....
dce: "But what? Wasn't I selected?"
mgr: "No, you were, but it's something much, much worse than that."
dce: "come on man, out with it. What could be worse?"
mgr: "You're...you're...you're not the lead story anymore!!! I'm so sorry."
dce: "Oh no....this is a disaster! Tell ya what, I'd better let my Ch 9 mates know that I've spoken to a couple of clubs. That'll get the spotlight back on me."
mgr: "Great idea. also throw something in how you've spoken, but not actually spoken to more than one club, but are keeping things close to your chest."
dce: "Ooh, excellent idea. Gotta keep the integrity points up, especially when Ch 9 and uncle Nick start handing me well deserved paper bags and stuff.
mgr: "Don't forget 10% of that is mine."
dce: "How could I forget. You start working on a story about me for after game 1."
mgr: "will do, bye."
dce: "See ya."

dce hums: "Money money money, must be funny....in a rich man's world...."
