Daly Cherry-Evans has put an anxious few weeks behind him in a sit down with Des Hasler on Monday, which reassured him Manly are not behind reports he's set for an early exit. The Sea Eagles captain has two years left on a monster deal but there was speculation the club was open to giving him an early release to join an NRL rival. "I just had a little chat to Des then to put a lot of it to bed, internally I'm feeling a lot better where things are at," he said. "Stephen (Humphreys, Manly CEO) and Des have publicly made a few comments today which is nice. "Any uncertainty is quickly going away so it's nice to have those conversations with those people. "It was a weird couple of weeks though, I didn't see that coming." "I've watched teammates and people from other clubs think they're going to play on forever but all of a sudden things change very quickly," he said. "Their body pulls up, their head might not want to go on any longer, but as of right now nothing has changed for me. "My body feels pretty good, I'm still in love with the game of footy, I'm not giving it away any time soon." "I've still got so long to go on my contract so I'm not worried about re-signing but if that came up no doubt about it, I'd love to do it because I'd love to stay here for that extended period," he said. "If it pops up I'll jump at it. "I'm more looking for the security for the period I've got ... that's what I wanted more than anything." "I'll get through the next few weeks, hopefully we can chalk up a few more wins and I'd like to be a big part of that, and then we can sit down with the club and see where things are at."
