Daly Cherry-Evans seeks Manly contract extension amid interest

Daly Cherry-Evans, the Manly Sea Eagles captain, is now seeking a two-year contract extension, shifting from his previous uncertainty about his future. Rival clubs are reportedly interested in signing him if Manly does not secure a deal. Cherry-Evans, who is off-contract in 2025, may need to accept a pay cut to stay with Manly. Reports suggest the club has offered him a one-year deal worth around $600,000, down from his previous salary of $1 million. The Dolphins and Dragons are potential suitors for Cherry-Evans, with the Dragons needing a strong halfback. However, Cherry-Evans may prefer to remain with Manly, where he has spent his entire career.
