NRL: Buzz Rothfield has called for Daly Cherry-Evans to relinquish Manly's captaincy after his form slump following his decision to leave the club.
Calls are growing for Daly Cherry-Evans to stand down from the Manly captaincy amid a horror form slump for the halfback and his team since his contract saga emerged.
However, Phil Rothfield rubbished those suggestions and called for Cherry-Evans to stand aside for one of the Trbojevic brothers to take over. “They’ve actually got five of their first seven games at home and clubs have got much tougher draws than they have.“What I’ve said is, I think Daly Cherry Evans should stand down as the captain of that club.
“He doesn’t want to be there. He’s given the players no explanation of why or where he’s even going, so it’s different to a lot of other players.“And I think the Trbojevic brothers, who would die for that jersey, would be a far better appointment as club captain at this stage. They’ve got to bite the bullet.”
