Sea Eagles' website is buzzing with excitement as they announce that Daly Cherry-Evans is gearing up for his 15th season in the NRL.
Considered a true stalwart of the game, DCE's endurance is as impressive as a last-minute try to clinch the game.
Born in the 80s, Cherry-Evans will soon be the last player from that era still gracing the NRL field.
As a seven-month-old baby, he witnessed the epic 1989 grand final between Canberra and Balmain, a match etched in rugby league history.
Following in the footsteps of ageless wonders like Cliff Lyons, Daly tasted premiership success in 1996, at the tender age of seven.
Fast forward to his rookie season in the NRL, where he hoisted the trophy alongside his mate Kieran Foran, showing composure beyond his years.
Now, at 36, Cherry-Evans shows no signs of slowing down, still commanding the field with the vigor of a seasoned veteran.
His potential record-breaking appearance for the Maroons would solidify his status as a Queensland great, surpassing the likes of Petero Civoniceva.
As Manly gears up to face off against the Cowboys in Round 1, Cherry-Evans will be looking to add another chapter to his storied career, much like a seasoned gladiator battling in the arena of sport.
