But isnt it funny how dce is being called yoko etc. do these reporters forget how long matais contract agreement took? Stewerts? Forans taking just as long! What about watmough and glen stewert?

If you can knock a man for thinking over which multi million dollar contract he wants to sign you have no idea

While the media are strongly pushing the line that he will be going to the Gold Coast, I'm yet to see them actually provide any solid justification for this. They also don't seem to want to completely rule out the other options, just so a back pedal position is still available.

I get the feeling they are guessing.

Hahah that line about vessa his wife contacting other players partners about housing options... That's hilarious.

Imagine that phone call...

Vessa "Hi it's VCE here... DCE is coming to save your club can you help me find a place to live?"

Partner "Sorry who is it?"

The whole notion of him looking at houses now before announcing anything is ridiculous.

As it stands I am now pretty sure DCE will be a shark within the week.

With the court case of the titans players going into next year there is no certainty on who he would be playing with or how much cap they will have. Even giving DCE a say in who they sign doesn't help much when you don't know how much cap you can use.

Manly have put their eggs in the Foran basket DCE has two choices - beg manly or take more cash at the Sharks and play with a top 8 side.

I have the champas on ice.

there is one thing to say who he wants and there is another thing to actually get the player there

Only thing we can do is grab some popcorn, sit back and see what unfolds

In your head, rent free
there are some sticking points on getting DCE here, but I am positive we will be able to match everything he has asked for

the question that remains for DCE is what kind of project he is after?

with the sharks, he has a young up and coming back line who are in a position to contend for the top 4 and a semi final run.

with the Titans he has a good group of backs but there is no assurance what kind of forward pack he will have, or who he will even be playing with. there is also no chance he gets to play finals footy for 2 years, maybe more.

it isn't about money, don't even think that if he goes to the GC it is about money, because we have offered him a great package, it will be about what project he believes in the most.
hopefully our sales pitch to him is superior to the titans

Pros V Cons snow.

Completely agree.

At the end of the day no amount of money is enough if you aren't enjoying what you do or if your partner isn't happy.

Thanks for that Snow, makes me more confident he will be ours. Fingers crossed he decides on us.

So there is talk we're also interested in Hodkinson? I like him as a player but he is walking wounded isn't he? Serious knee injury that flared up and almost kept him out of the GF last year.
