Breaking News: Cherry-Evans to Exit Manly as Sea Eagles Launch Bid for Payne Haas
In a stunning development, Manly Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans has announced he will depart the club at the end of the 2025 NRL season, ending a legendary career spanning over 330 games. The veteran halfback’s exit has triggered a high-stakes recruitment push, with the Sea Eagles now targeting Brisbane Broncos star Payne Haas in a potential million-dollar power move.
With Cherry-Evans’ departure freeing up significant salary cap space, Manly’s top brass is wasting no time reshaping the club’s future. Sources close to the club reveal that Haas is now firmly in their sights, as Manly looks to bolster its forward pack and usher in a new era of dominance.
In a strategic shake-up, Manly has also secured rising prop Paul Bryan in a mid-season trade, adding youth and firepower to their evolving roster. As coach Anthony Seibold considers his options to fill the leadership void, anticipation is building ahead of Manly’s Round 18 clash against South Sydney.
The Sea Eagles are clearly not content with rebuilding—they’re going for reinvention. And if they land Haas, the rest of the league will have no choice but to takenotice.
