    And nobody has seen Rodwell play NRL so we shouldn’t be so trigger happy on that front either.

    • We can’t attack the DCE signing after every good win and then defend it whenever we lose. It’ll just go on like this for rest of the year. It is what it is. Deal with it, he’s coming.

      I do agree with some of the vocal opposers that we don’t seem to need him, all we need is our forwards to play for 80 mins, be disciplined and play fast second phase footy. DCE or Hugo, it doesn’t matter. It seems like a luxury signing but at this point but it is what it is.

      • Could you imagine just how potent this combination could be.

        9. Hunt.
        7. DCE.
        6. Townsend.

              Good grief, can it get any worse, maybe loan him to Souths?
              Might as well call ourselves the rooted instead of Roosters.

                If we are stuck with DCE, loaning out is a good idea so we dont lose him entirely to another club , but a bad idea if DCE loses form next year and we want to drop him and dont have a hugo to step in

                  It really is an unecessary risk to loan out Savala, or indeed having DCE come in the first place.

                  It always has smelt of a mis placed desire to replicate the Cronk-led success of 2018 and 2019.

                  But the team back then was very different. Cronk was very different. The situation was different.

                  Unfortunately it appeared this decision was made before Savala had made his entrance into first grade.

                  I am hoping DCE will revert to form and backflip.

                  But I am not expecting that to happen unless the Dolphins are in the process of throwing him something incredible compelling.

                    I don’t think the Dolphins would want DCE after seeing the form he has dished up this year lol
                    EASTS TO WIN!

                        • Probably lose Hugo he is to good to run arround in Reggie’s young first grade players don’t like it and mal and a couple of others are watching this dce debacle and where it leaves the kid a first grade jumper and a few hundred grand should get Hugo’s interest the best solution is piss dce off and keep hugo

"Apparently" all his team mates hate him. "Apparently" he is suffering from mental health issues even though I have never seen it made public.

                            They offered him one year at a lower rate and he knocked it back. He wanted two years and more money. Then the shemozzle on TV happened with them offering two years on air.

                            And yet here we are today with him "apparently" accepting a one year offer with us at a lower rate. Ho hum.

                            That whole TV thing showed it was all about him throwing all his toys out of his playpen.

                            Of course Turbo and Jurbo said they are happy to accept lower without feeling disrespected.

                            Again, arguing with yourself.

                            Fact, DCE himself said he was not offered a deal until they rang one through to a TV show, it was a 2 year deal worth either 1.4 or 1.5 million across the 2 years. Fact, Manly have confirmed this saying they wanted to leave it in DCE's hands and not pressure him so you are blatantly lying to argue with yourself.

                            "Apparently" doesn't sort of make things true, these are things reported by legitimate media sources I just won't do what you do and say they are 100% legitimate until someone actually there says something. I do believe that DCE had a falling out with his team mates and everything that has happened this year has likely impacted his professional mental health at the very least.

                            He also isn't playing badly though, you guys all make out as if he's playing worse than Chad Townsend yet he still beats most halves this season in key stats. Inb4 "Stats don't matter"

                              Can we loan out DCE?

                                FM if he loses any more form next year he would be Townsend II.
