Reuben Garrick has quickly established himself as one of the premier outside backs in rugby league.
He boasts an impressive skill set, including height, speed, and agility. Additionally, he is renowned for his goal-kicking prowess, being among the best in the sport.
With a record of 89 tries in 157 games and nearly 500 goals, Garrick demonstrates his versatility by excelling at both centre and wing positions.
Given this talent, it's no surprise that the Manly Sea Eagles are eager to keep him with the team beyond the end of his contract in 2026.
However, Garrick's value on the market is expected to be substantial. If he secures a long-term deal, it may very well be his last, as he will be entering his 30s by the time the contract begins in 2027.
The recent reports that Garrick is likely to explore free agency starting November 1 were predictable.
This leads to the question: which clubs would be interested in acquiring him if he chooses to leave the Sea Eagles, where he has played all his first-grade matches since moving from the Dragons' pathways and making his debut on the Northern Beaches in 2019?
