Daly Cherry-Evans steers Manly Sea Eagles to upset over Cronulla Sharks

Out with JT, in with DCE?

Just in case Kevin Walters had forgotten, Manly's million-dollar man provided the Queensland coach with a gentle reminder it's never too late for an 11th-hour backflip.

Sea Eagles too good for Sharks

There was no second-half turnaround for the Sharks this week as the Sea Eagles leapfrog them on the ladder.

While he's definitely giving Michael Morgan, perhaps Corey Norman and maybe even Cameron Munster a head start for Johnathan Thurston's vacant Queensland No.6 for the State of Origin decider - all names Walters touted as potential replacements in a weekly TV spot - Cherry-Evans shouldn't be the forgotten man.

Ask his Manly coach Trent Barrett.

"I wouldn't swap him for anyone," Barrett fired back after Cherry-Evans engineered a 35-18 thumping of premiers Cronulla on Sunday. "That answers your question.

"I don't want to embarrass Cherry, but he's probably one of the form halfbacks up there with Mitchell Pearce in the competition to date. The selfish side of me hopes he doesn't get picked, but it would be a terrific accolade.

"He's the sort of person that won't let it affect him. That's why he's captain at the moment and he's putting the team before everyone else.

"He's our side. He's our leader. He came up with a couple of plays tonight, a couple of kicks, passes and he's doing it every week. The opportunities will come for him and he won't disappoint. I wouldn't swap him for another other player."

But Walters? Who knows which way he will lean given men permanently marked on Queensland's teamsheet for the best part of a decade, Thurston and Darius Boyd, need replacing for Origin III.

"I understand the opportunity that's arisen in that side," Cherry-Evans said. "I think the only thing I can do is show through the Manly side that I'll put my hand up. With times comes experience so I'd like to think I've become a better player. Only time will tell if I'm ready for Origin."

Cherry-Evans had more than a few helpers as the Sea Eagles demolished a slow-starting Sharks at Southern Cross Group Stadium on Sunday, but none had more to play for.

And Cherry-Evans duly delivered against a side propped by near on a quarter of Laurie Daley's Blues.

Asked how he thought his Origin quintet backed up, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said: "The score probably indicates how they handled the back up.

"Birdy [Jack Bird] was itching to play. He rang me up after Origin and said he was ready to go now. Birdy wasn't tired. He was probably emotional about the loss. Wade was ready to. They all wanted to play. If they were carrying little niggles I would have rested them, but that's not an excuse for us today.

"The first 20 minutes was awful. They played really well and they deserved to win, but our first 20 minutes was something I hadn't seen [for a long time]. It was inexcusable."

Scorned ex-Shark Matt Wright, who accepted a backdated doped and duped ban over the supplements scandal, bagged 18 points of his own and Curtis Sironen a double before leaving with a pectoral injury as Trent Barrett's northern beaches resurrection gathered steam.

The Sea Eagles vaulted the premiers into the top four, in part thanks to the outstanding Cherry-Evans and lively No.9 Api Koroisau  - "I love him to death", Barrett gushed - as the Sharks rarely got out of second gear.

Flanagan's headache was only compounded when rookie rake Jayden Brailey was taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw and his back-up Daniel Mortimer is likely to head to English Super League's Leigh this week.

Cronulla has carved a reputation as first half dozers, but this was another false start altogether.

Sironen had scored a brace to go along with a couple of dropped balls and Wright also came back to haunt his former club as the Sea Eagles bolted to an 18-0 lead and the only blemish on their day was Sironen's pectoral injury, described by his coach as "not looking good".

But he had already done the damage on the field as the NRL's great escape artists couldn't wriggle out of another one.

"I'm happy for the players," Barrett said. "I want to see them play in more big games. We've still got lessons to learn. We still could have closed that game out a bit better and we've all got different roles to play in that regards. Hopefully we get to play them again."
