It's dragging on like this nonsense with the Bali 9 righleaders, isn't it.
The concerning part of DCE teaming up with Barba is how long before Barba goes off the rails again (down there) and potentially take DCE along with him. It'd be a bad decision for DCe to make (IMO), a bit risky..It's DCE to the Sharks me thinks. Interesting that his mateship with Barba is a factor which although mateship is a good thing, Barba has had three clubs in three years.
Yeah that was my point, however DCE is a very level headed bloke so if Barba flips again DCE would be fine. But saying that going to the Sharks to play with Barba is a factor is like me saying I am going to play Rugby Union because I want to play alongside Karmichael.
When Barba was on the market I was pretty keen for the Titans to go after him. Knowing now of DCE's friendship with Barba it might have been a smart move.

50/50 at best now I think. Other than $$ why would you want to play at that windswept hole Shark Park. Brooky is bad but it kills Shark Park for atmosphere.
The Titans believe they are back in the running for Daly Cherry-Evans after the NRL takes control of the club

THE Gold Coast camp believe they are back in the running for Daly Cherry-Evans as Manly want to have his contract situation sorted out before round one kicks off in eight days.
Cherry-Evans and manager Gavin Orr have been filmed in the past week meeting with Gold Coast officials and Cronulla management, which has left the Manly camp increasingly unsettled.
Titans CEO Graham Annesley said Tuesday’s decision for the NRL to take control of the embattled club would enhance their chance of signing Cherry-Evans.
“If any prospective player had doubts about the long-term tenure or financial security of the Titans, today’s announcement should remove any such doubts,” Annesley said.
Sea Eagles CEO Joe Kelly wanting negotiations completed before round one.
“We always had a timeline when we hoped to conclude negotiations,” Kelly conceded. “We really do want to conclude this as soon as possible and certainly before the start of the season.
“Different players negotiate in different ways. Ultimately we want to resolve these negotiations very soon.”
Kelly said his club had not considered pulling the Cherry-Evans offer.
“We have always said we wanted this done before round one,” Kelly said.
Asked was he aware of Manly fans’ anger, Kelly said: “I am aware of that. I can see where the frustration comes from. As I said, different players negotiate in different ways.
“We have tabled our best offer which we think is a responsible one and the club is highly confident Daly will stay. Players are entitled to test the market but we feel Manly is the best club for Manly.”
Cherry-Evans hopes to have his future settled and announced by Friday.
Manly five-eighth Kieran Foran has been more private in his negotiations. Both players comes off contract after this season.

I don't think he will come and this is why. He sought reassurances from the club on their financial situation and got told all good. The club, just days later, goes into administration......
So we were bidding on DCE with no money? lol

DCE can etch his name into history if he takes the Titans to the finals. But i wont count on him alone unless he has a structure to work with.

TITANS FAVOURITES TO SIGN CHERRY-EVANS
Written February 25, 2015
DESPITE all the drama of the past week, the Gold Coast Titans are in the box seat to capture the highly sought-after signature of Daly Cherry-Evans.
According to RLW‘s Super-sleuth The Mole, Cherry-Evans has today received assurances from the NRL (the Titans new majority shareholder) that his reported $3.9 million offer over three years still stands and would certainly be honoured if he chooses to sign with the club.
Manly’s offer to the playmaker pales in comparison to that of the Titans and the northern beaches club have reportedly now made re-signing off-contract five-eighth Kieran Foran their number one priority.
Cherry-Evans, his partner Vessa and manager Gavin Orr met with Sharks officials on Monday and was impressed with the club and its facilities.
An approximate offer of $2.7 million over three years was tabled by Cronulla but the opportunity to earn close to $400,000 more per-season with the Titans could be too good to refuse.
Despite being forced to hand the license back to the governing body, the NRL has since guaranteed Gold Coast’s survival for years to come and this guarantee has been passed on to the 26-year-old and his management team.
The Mole understands Cherry-Evans is yet to make a decision but is favouring a move to the Queensland club.
Cherry-Evans is expected to announce his decision by week’s end.
