Tommy Talau, a former centre for the Manly Sea Eagles, is among the nine players parting ways with the team at the conclusion of the 2025 NRL season. While he has yet to finalize his next steps, a decision could be coming soon.
Previously with the Wests Tigers, Talau, a Westfield Sports High School alum, played 36 matches for Manly throughout the 2024 and 2025 seasons, managing to score 19 tries. However, his participation this year has been limited to just 13 games, primarily competing in the NSW Cup.
"I'm just really focused on trying to play good footy," he mentioned in an interview with The Daily Telegraph in August. "That's all I've been trying to do this year. I've had a bit of a rough run with injuries and not being in the team and whatnot."
"I feel healthy now, and being back in the team is also really good for me. It's obviously been a different year, a bit of a challenging year for myself," he added. "I sort of started off being injured and whatnot, but I'm just trying to string a few games along at the back-end of this year and finish on a high note."
