The real reason why Daly Cherry-Evans fell in love with the virile sea eagles

But the lap is understandable given Manly’s despair to avoid having their season totally derailed by the impending exit of their captain.

This column listened to the whispers of a potentially significant development last week, but none of neither of the two fields would have provided information. That’s why I led the column of last week with a piece Indicating that Manly believed that DCE would retire to the end of the season, but that they had learned how little they should have paid it if he had decided to play.

Daly grind for fox

Many have described 360 nrl Scramble to try to recover the story of Daly Cherry-Evans live on Monday as a car TV.

In all honesty, the show journalists did their best when they were affected by the news of Thunderbolt Cherry-Evans. You cannot blame the program for not having known what was going on, despite having half a dozen of New Corp journalists and their leading leader of call.

DCE’s decision to leave Manly was a well -kept secret. It happens, and it happened to this hack.

But for their journalists to open the line on podcasts since then that a sort of agreement had been made between DCE and Nine Entertainment (publishers of this masthead) is fantasy stuff.

The story was there that everyone could chase. And even after a lot of excavations, and with the awareness that DCE was to be a guest 100% football On Channel Nine that night, at 14:00 on Monday there was no history. The developments arrived later. Not days in advance. They passed a few hours before the news bulletin at 18:00 Sydney Morning Herald journalist Michael Chammas And I knew we had the information we could share on nine news and nine newspapers.

The rear cover subsequently sold by News Corp was preceded by the inept actions of an arrogant men’s club. The club that He managed the situation of the pride shirt badly He brought their blumbling show on live TV to insist on the fact that they had made an offer to their captain at the start.

It was a high farce – or stupidity, like Wayne Bennett He described it: as Manly gave one of the great reactions of instincts for the knee of the rugby League to a situation they thought they had under control.

It was Manly’s complacency that cost them their captain. If they actually want to keep it, it’s doubtful. They did not make an offer for months when they had the opportunity. Throwing a live television offer after Cherry-Evans had announced that he left was ridiculous.

But the most confused part was their statement that they had made an offer to Cherry-Evans at noon on Monday. This simply did not happen.

One day, I will be able to explain how I know it’s not true. But at this moment, the story is too hot. It is right to say that there were several stories that came out of Manly who do not match.

We were told that there was an meeting on Monday afternoon between the virile owner Scott Penn and CEO Tony Mestrov To discuss an offer to Cherry-Evans. At the same time, we were told that an offer had been made at noon. The first that the DCE camp knew of an offer was when it was announced on television live that night.

Manly needs to take a serious look at the way they operate. There are many questions to ask who was definitively responsible for what happened last week. A strong club would revalue the way it makes its contracts. Manly has a considerable job to do in this sector.

DCE by not fighting Wehbe battles

The strong influence of a prominent manager Isaac Moses In Manly it was touched during the week. Moses manages the coach Anthony SeiboldSeveral players and also personal backroom. Cherry-Evans is managed by a company led by the Wehbe family. Joe Wehbe And Moses were commercial partners before a bad division in 2018.

The two parts do not go on. But suggest that Wehbe is pushing DCE to get out of virili to gather with Moses is not right. This is an insult to DCE, as a 15 -season game veteran. He will not make life decisions to fight the battles of others and knowing the Wehbes, they would never influence a player to do it.

Galli in the box seat, but …

So, after all, where will Cherry-Evans end up?

He told his agents that he does not want to make a call or speak until October, after the end of the season. With the bulldogs not in the race, it seems that the roosters are in the best position to sign it. I put it on the club several times and I was fired with a smile from the club’s maximum weights.

Gauls are surprised that Canterbury has been excluded. But they are also happy. There was concern that they were true opposition.

Dolphins are also still in the hunt for the signature of DCE.

Gus returns coaching

One of the greatest coaches of the Rugby League dusted the notes for a short period during the week, with the Bulldogs team the lucky recipients of some Phil Gould Coaching.

The women’s team from Canterbury is looking for a coach and to help keep the skills, fitness and moral of the players on the track, Gould has put the girls through test using one of her favorite conditioning and skills sessions. Those who witnessed him said it was clear that Gould did not lose the touch despite 20 years out of the coaching game.

Gould will always have that need to train and make sessions like the one that conducted on Wednesday was advantageous for players and himself.

When I asked him, he preferred to keep his thoughts for himself.

Gould could return to high -level coaching and do an excellent job, but he found his niche as general manager, after turning the panthers and now doing the same to the bulldogs.

Things are added

Fantastic sharks Paul Gallen He is happy to admit he has made a mistake when it comes to Cronula’s largest re -pronounced in recent years. Gallen had doubts about the signature of great money Add Fonua-Blake.

“Look at his ability and is indisputable: he is one of the best three in the game,” said Gallen. “I just took a look at his career, and it was in some different clubs and every time he was asked for a release, there was not a lot of repercussions and this made me ask if it were a problem, or he is not good at a club, because they let him go easily.

“This was my question mark. But now that I saw it at the club … I can’t really criticize him. It is excellent around the place, from everything I have seen. It is very, very positive throughout the group. In difficult sessions, he will guide the road.

“And that’s what you need when you are a player from $ 1 million, you must be good with the players and a great person of the club, and someone who will put the club first and do the right thing from the club. It is what I see in him.”

Gallen says that people have yet to be wary of saying that it is the player who will transform sharks from the pretenders into contenders.

“Put on everything like a first -person heritage is probably a little unfair,” said Gallen. “I think it’s a real team effort for sharks. He can make a big difference, but I won’t put pressure on him by identifying him.”
