Manly has tabled an eyewatering $5.6 million deal in an attempt to retain damaging backrower Haumole Olakau'atu until the end of 2030, reports The Sydney Morning Herald. The Sea Eagles and Olakau'atu's management have been in discussions for several months regarding an upgrade, which last week resulted in a five-year extension offer averaging about $800,000 per year. Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Eels playmaker Dylan Brown could remain at their clubs until 2033 and 2031 respectively due to clauses in their contracts, but they are the only NRL players with longer-team deals than the one presented to Olakau'atu. Manly is also believed to be targeting Wests Tigers prop Alex Twal and could land the Lebanese forward through a swap deal, Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles announced on Thursday that playmaker Jake Arthur, the son of Eels coach Brad Arthur, had re-signed until the end of 2025. The 20-year-old moved from Parramatta to Manly in May and has played six NRL games for the Sea Eagles.
