The Canberra Raiders have offered veteran halfback Jamal Fogarty a new two-year contract in an attempt to keep him from potentially joining the Manly Sea Eagles.
Fogarty, who has been with the Raiders for the last four seasons, has significantly improved his game during his time with the team and is now considered one of the best kickers in the competition.
Despite this, his future with the Raiders has been uncertain since the club signed Ethan Sanders from the Parramatta Eels, who is seen as the long-term halfback for the team.
There were previous reports indicating that the Sea Eagles were interested in signing Fogarty, with a potential two-year contract on the table for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
However, the Raiders have made a move to secure Fogarty's future at the club by offering him a new deal.
Fogarty, who has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Daly Cherry-Evans, now faces a decision on whether to stay with his current team or make the switch to Manly.
The uncertainty surrounding Fogarty's future has been a topic of discussion in the rugby league world, with fans eagerly awaiting news of his decision.
As Fogarty weighs his options, the Raiders are making every effort to retain the experienced halfback and continue benefiting from his skills on the field.
The outcome of this contract offer will determine Fogarty's future in the coming seasons and could potentially have a significant impact on both the Raiders and the Sea Eagles.
