The Daly Cherry-Evans saga is officially out of control! On Tuesday night he made an announcement to announce that an announcement is imminent.

DCE is being ill advised by his manager and it’s making him look bad.

As a player manager it’s your job to get as much money for your client and that is what Gavin Orr is trying to do. However I don’t understand the way he’s going about it.

DCE is a big enough star that this doesn’t need to be done so publicly. Orr doesn’t need to drum up the media to create interest, there’s already plenty of interest.

If I was a Manly fan, player or staff member, I’d like to see DCE preparing for the season. What I don’t want to see is my star player visiting other clubs to discuss something that’s a year away. DCE’s manager should taking care of that instead of using his client as bait.

Instead of preparing for the first game of the season in just over a week, DCE is out lunching with other clubs. This is not a good look and seems very disrespectful towards Manly.

For a long time there’s been talk of player unrest due to the lengths the club has gone to to keep their star playmakers. Could this latest drama be the last straw? Could this be the end of the Manly Dynasty?

Manly is a club that thrives on a siege mentality. The problem now is that the issues are coming from internal sources, not external. I’m not sure they can survive that.

Time will tell whether this has affected the playing group. I’m tipping it’s going to be hard for them to get up and play for each other this season.

I think we have seen the end of the Manly Dynasty.
