Far out 2 more years, that'll take him to 38 if it happens!
heard tonight he has missed 23 games since he started and most were origin. Still leads fitness tests etc.. quite a freak really

Cam Smith type durability, infact, that was like the whole Storm spine back then, they were hardly ever injured.

DCE to the Roosters makes too much sense given everything said last night (and hasn't this story just exploded in like 18 hours!)
It explains why the Roosters were passive in the transfer market, and DCE seems determined to go.

Braith Anasta was confident last night that he's all but signed for the Roosters.
-
what shit show Manly is, listened to their CEO this morning, tried to say they respected DCEs wishes. Reality is they had offered him nothing and expected him to do nothing about it?
Dont know where he will end up, but what an entertaining 18 hours -
One of the young wingers in NSW Cup will get a decent crack at making a case in the top team

Dylan Walker to the Eels effective immediately.

Shit, as @mariner4life noted above, he's our best half.

How the hell? He's a good bench option. Perhaps he could see the writing on the wall, with Ali making 3 his own, and Berry coming back soon

Why would that matter? He's never been a centre for us he's always been an impact player.
-
Lol, he will add immediate shape to Parra. Currently our best half. Was always leaving at the end of the year, just brought forward.
I can only hope this TMM takes his place on the bench as the current spine (except Egan) dont dig into the line and just crabOn a adjacent topic, surely we have a mini cash sombrero now
-
not happy.
get why he wants to go back to Sydney, but perhaps there is a bit of "what we knew when we signed him" coming back to bite us.
This makes us exponentially weaker. We must have serious cap space floating around.

He is a valuable squad member, I just hope we don't suffer any injuries that accentuate the fact that he's gone

Exactly my point, we must be able to go after this big fish now

the problem is no one good in on the market or wants to come. so i expect us to buy old kiwis who were household names 3 years ago. For like $800k a season

The only player at that rate on the open market is DCE.
Mind you if anyone may have watched any Phins games lately, Kotoa has really improved this year, maybe make it a three club swap.
Kini out for the year for Titans would be better than CNK, Titans have too many FLBs
anyway couple of thoughts
-
no way in the current market Katoa is gettable. A genuinely good half, who is still young? no chance.
Are there upgrades on our current players? There are players in Q-Cup who would be upgrades on a few of them. But we're going to have to buy on potential.

I don't disagree with any of that, I was only meaning in relation to the centres. I don't think they impact his decision to leave.

Curiously i have seen a few comments on late that we may not have the war chest we thought we might have and might have overspent in a couple areas. May well explain the fire sale of Maiu and the we will be nice and just let players go attitude. At the same time if this turns out to be true, will be pissed

Penrith diabolically bad in first half and couldn’t get back from there, Souths hold on for a big win. Penrith in a bit of trouble
