Cherry-Evans' Future in Rugby League Clears Up
In what could be his final season with the Manly Sea Eagles, captain and seasoned halfback Daly Cherry-Evans has shed some light on his future in the sport, potentially hinting at a continuation beyond the 2025 NRL season.
At 36 years young, Cherry-Evans is still recognized as one of the top playmakers in the league, a fact highlighted by his consistent performance for the QLD Maroons in the intense State of Origin clashes.
While rising talents like Onitoni Large and Joey Walsh are knocking on the door to take over the reins at the Sea Eagles, the 329-game veteran is grappling with the decision of whether to extend his playing career as his current contract approaches its end.
Having contributed to an impressive 22 tries at club level, Cherry-Evans confirmed to Zero Tackle that he intends to don the Maroon jersey for the 2025 State of Origin series, adding to the speculation about his future in the NRL.
"Yeah, of course," Cherry-Evans affirmed to Zero Tackle when asked about the possibility of playing beyond this season and entering the 2026 NRL campaign.
