DCE = What is he doing here

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

Disappointed we lost but last season we started off badly too before turning it around and I expect this season to be no different.

DCE is either completely out played and everything he tries affects the team badly or he plays outstanding lifting everyone around him.
It’s be that way for many years with him.
He has less outstanding games these days, probably a lot to do with his age.

Should we have signed him, probably not but the club believe he will add value and will be here for the season.

The Wahs are always hard to beat over there and the Chooks have been clunky for the first 6 or 7 rounds for years now. The storming home to the number 8 spot has become a depressing feature but it's exciting to see the slow build to competitiveness and then dominance as it happens. The problem is that the team cohesion level attained at the end of a season does not carry over though mentally the side wrongly feels it is still there, hence the unsuccessful flashiness. The Riff don't have this problem.

The reality is that the side has, once again, to work eliminate the clunk and get the machine rolling which, as we've seen, takes time, a lot of effort, experimentation and losses. There is every indication that this pattern will be repeated this year.

The Pamfers look the goods again. Talagai is a prodigiously talented 6, McLean an impressive youngster and the pack is tough and mobile.

They look fresher than this time last season. No GF or WCC.

Only injuries to key position will stop them imo.

FM.....all this negativity and unnecessary expectations after just one round.

Let's lay blame on DCE but ignore the fact we were ill disciplined and lacked ball control.......like last year and the year before and........

Let's hope for week by week improvement, cohesion, and consistency.

100% Paddo
I said last year that he will be as good as Crighton who is currently the best centre in the game.

Knew this would happen. The great Cooper Cronk was hammered on here as well for the first 10 rounds in 2018. Give DCE 10 rounds at least..

That was the only prediction you nailed, Mickie.

1 from 30 odd is a good start mate
