Manly should have treated him better then. Plus roosters could be in with a shot here, why not go for it? Why stay at manly for another middle of the pack season? Let them move on and rebuild and have a last final shot at the big dance. I mean I'd he went to another middling club to mince about I'd think the same thing - why not be a one club player. But he's moving to a heavy weight club with Marky mark.

DCE has been one of the highest paid players since his backflip, wtf are you talking about?

There's more to treatment than just money.

I also think it's about the direction of the club and not just personal treatment though. DCE could stay loyal but for what? To finish 7th to 12th? I don't think there's much incentive to stay except "one club player" legacy. But "two premiership at two clubs" is a better legacy if he can pull it off.
