The race to sign Manly Sea Eagles skipper Daly Cherry-Evans is heating up, with another NRL team reportedly entering the mix.
Cherry-Evans, a key player for both the Sea Eagles and the QLD Maroons, is still considered one of the elite playmakers in the league despite approaching his mid-thirties.
While young talents like Onitoni Large and Joey Walsh are emerging as potential future stars for the Sea Eagles, Cherry-Evans' future beyond the 2025 NRL season remains unclear.
It is speculated that he will continue playing beyond this season, but whether he will remain at Manly or potentially move to another club is uncertain.
The Sydney Roosters have now thrown their hat into the ring, considering signing Cherry-Evans to mentor young halves like Sam Walker and Sandon Smith.
The Roosters are reportedly looking at Cherry-Evans to play a role similar to that of Chad Townsend, providing experience and guidance to the team's rising stars.
Cherry-Evans' experience and leadership on and off the field make him an attractive prospect for teams looking to add a seasoned playmaker to their roster.
As he continues to perform at a high level, multiple clubs are keeping a close eye on his contract situation with the Sea Eagles.
While Cherry-Evans' future may be uncertain, one thing is clear - his skills and influence in the game are highly valued by potential suitors.
Whether he stays loyal to Manly or embarks on a new chapter with a different club, it is evident that his impact in the NRL will be felt for years to come.
