Sea Eagles talisman Jake Trbojevic has moved to allay the fears of the Manly faithful following Daly Cherry-Evans’ contract bombshell, declaring he would never play for another club. Sea Eagles skipper Cherry-Evans set off a firestorm earlier this week when he announced that he would not return to the NRL club next year. What his future holds remains to be seen - the Roosters and Dolphins have expressed interest in his services and he has also been linked with the Bulldogs. The saga played out on live TV on Monday night and included Manly bosses issuing a two-year contract extension offer via NRL360 on Fox Sports. Trbojevic said he had no concerns about how Manly management had handled negotiations - though he admitted it “doesn’t look the best, does it”. It also puts a focus on Trbojevic and his brother Tom, who are both off-contract at the end of 2026, meaning they can negotiate with rivals from November 1. Asked if he could ever play for another club, Trbojevic said: “No. Definitely not. “I’ve always played for Manly, I don’t think that would ever happen, no.” Trbojevic denied the Sea Eagles’ premiership window would slam shut when Cherry-Evans walks out the door at the end of this year. “We’ve got great players at this club,” Trbojevic said.
