So you don’t think he polarised Manly’s fans? Really? 😂
Where on earth have I implied Manly is & has been a well-managed club for years? And you say you’re dealing in facts 😂
Yes we all know the backflip story, I’ve never blamed DCE for it & didn’t mention it in my post so not sure why you went there, but you end up agreeing with me that he’s had bad PR over his career. Cool 👍
You accuse me of thinking NRL players owe me something. Incorrect. You’re dealing in facts though, right? Not emotions? 😂
Oh, so “the facts” are that he appeared on TV because the club had failed to lock him down. Have you got a credible source for this “fact” or are you just repeating another rumour? Seems you’re using this rumour to excuse him for going off reservation with his announcement.
Have you got a credible source for the club “shopping Turbo to SL” or are you again dealing in rumours under the guise of “facts”?
There’s so much emotionally charged bullsh1t in your reply you should be ashamed of having claimed to deal in “facts”.
Have you ever thought the club simply decided they didn’t want to re-sign DCE after so many years of paying him so much yet him delivering so little?
Perhaps you need to add a few words to that first line? how about Manly fans on silvertails.... if you ask me that question then 10000% yes. If its a blanket question about Manly fans I would confidently say perhaps 5 or 10% of fans were indeed disgruntled. I didn't hear boos ringing out at brookvale too often this season, so id say the majority of fans while perhaps disappointed didnt hate on the guy like yourself and others on here.
He had 1 bad PR moment with Queenslanders over the backflip.... Not exactly a career long issue. He's one of the cleanest skins in the game. A family man doing his bet for his family. What a turd eah?
The way your anger presents on here suggests you personally feel angry so in turn possibly hurt? If you could see it for what it is perhaps the feeling might not be so bad?
Just as many facts as you put in your huge first post. Do you have the magical inside info to back up your hate towards the guy?
All player movement is speculation until its actually not. Again I double down IF manly was a well run culb that never had any problems then a story like the Turbo whisper could be dismissed but as id hope you could even agree we are a basketcase and where there is smoke there is probably fire.
I'm sorry you think im emotional. I'm really not. I just dont like sitting back listening to people whinge and bitch without calling it out. Its like Trump, lie after lie after lie. just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.
And finally your last point.... Thank you for making the job easy. If they didn't want to resign our club captain and one of our better players then Man up, put the big boy pants on last year and say. Hey Daly, thanks for the service but you know what, we are going to go a different direction. 2025 will be your last year and we wish you all the best for whatever you do. here are some plans we have for honoring your service throughout the year and good luck.
That would have placed the ball directly into his court. Ask for a release to sign a long term deal somewhere else, we get cap relief and can forward plan OR he plays out his last year and knows he needs to put on a show to interest another team or it will be the end of the road. The press conference never happens, the bad blood never happens and everyone walks away head held high.
So in closing your honour. The Club really ****ed the puppy on this one.
